Santa Barbara cheek traditional spade bit
Santa Barbara cheek traditional spade bit
Custom traditional Santa Barbara cheek bit with a 5 1/8” wide spade mouthpiece with a cricket and copper barrels on the braces. Stunning bit with large sterling silver panels inlaid in the cheek pieces and rust brown finish on the iron. Bit is brand new and never used.
A customer ordered this spade bit but couldn’t pay for it upon completion. I spent some time aging the silver to a soft patina so the bit has that great worn-in look that we all strive for. Marked OST for The Old Spanish Trading Company. This is a rare opportunity to grab a spade bit without the wait as all bits are custom orders with a 3-4 month wait time. Lovely single point engraving in the Filo Gutierrez style. Priced right for the buyer. Asking 525.
