Sometimes restoration tastefully done can be a good thing. This DH was in very poor condition. I had it redone by Bachelder and feel as though it has been given a new lease on life. Most folks wouldn't have bothered with trying to rescue and save such a three-legged dog but I did and am happy with the results.
Here's a link to the album showing the finished product:
