Intake
Because I didn't anticipate doing any work on this item I didn't take any intake photos. The best representation of its original state can be seen in some of the in progress photos that show black marks. It was covered (completely) by several decaying coats of spar urethane that required multiple treatments to remove. There were many gouge marks where the artist using the grinder dug a bit too deep and the edge of the sides were blocky.
