Nice one Liam.
I also have naked Speed Graphic I think way earlier in this thread. I French polished mine, so it's darker.

How did you get the covering off and clean it up so well? I did one once and ended up painting it to hide my mistakes....
I've stripped two Graphics and all the covering peeled off quite easily, what's left comes off with a solvent like white spirits or turpentine, or if very stubborn paint stripper.

TBH it isn't hard just involves some sanding once you take off the leather, the wood underneath is really really nice!
Looks great, good work-
Nice job Liam! Had I tried that, I would a) have a camera that looked like hell and, b) didn't work any longer. :)
That is really lovely
New scanner camera project.

I may have to give that a whirl. Are there any concerns about the camera not being protected properly without its fine leatherette outer shell?
