I recently picked up a couple of old chisels, One Hearnshaw & Co, John bull trademark 1 1/2" paring chisel & a Mathesion of glasgow
1 1/2" socketed firmer chisel, both were pretty beat up with split handles full of woodworm, good thing was the blades are full length & not too rusty. Visiting my old man who is 86 & getting frail i borrowed his wood lathe & we turned two new handles from Boxwood & fitted them. Fitted new bronze ferrules & gently cleaned the blades, they came up a treat & take an edge like a cut throat razor. Looking forward to using them rather than sticking them in a case!
Good bit of quality time with the old boy, he's taught me a lot.
