You guys might remember this one from eBay a few weeks ago. It's a Doak J SPECIAL. most of the lining was destroyed, but, at the same time, it had two nice labels and the exterior of the glove looked fine. This is still a work in progress. It's almost done. I had an old, stiff, Rawlings Bob Bowman off to the side just waiting to be made use of. I cut the glovelike horsehide lining carefully away from the rest of the glove. Shortened the fingers to match the J SPECIAL and trimmed off the extra grommets to also match the Doak. Then I conditioned the resulting lining to make it soft and easy to work with. My last step will be to carefully attach the new lining in a few key places. As it is now, it sits in the glove as if it were made for it. Finally I'll want to clean and condition the entire glove a little bit more. It's a real diamond-in-the-rough and has been a lot of fun to work on.
