Every April 100 ONDA members gather to work on a restoration project, dance, drink beer and get caught up on "all things ONDA". This year our restoration project involved installing 15 beaver dam analogues in Pine Creek and using juniper trunks to protect plantings from browse.

Following the Restoration of Charles II to the throne, the Ogilvies, whose forfeiture had been reluctantly rescinded by Parliament, made Cortachy Castle their home, leaving Airlie in ruins for more than a century.
Support for the Stuarts was to place further demands on the family however. James Ogilvy (d. 1731), took part in the Jacobite rising of 1715 and was attainted. Consequently on his father's death in 1717, he was not allowed to succeed to the earldom, although he was eventually pardoned in 1725. When he died unmarried, his brother John (d. 1761) became 'de jure' 5th Earl. John's son David (1725–1803) joined the standard of Prince Charles Edward Stuart in 1745, raising and commanding his own regiment, but after the defeat of the Jacobites at Culloden, he too was attainted. He escaped to Norway and Sweden, afterward serving in the French army, where he commanded 'le Regiment Ogilvy' and was known as "le bel Ecossais". In 1778, he was pardoned and was allowed to return to Scotland. It was not until 1826 that the 9th Earl of Airlie had the earldom restored to him by Parliament.

Dad gave me this delightful double bit ax when I visited Oregon last. I have decided to clean it up as a restoration. It was pretty rusty and the label was hard to read - seeing mostly an "S". First thought (hoped) it was a Collins, then a Stanley, but turns out it is a Vaughan Sub-Zero pat 1948 double bit ax!
Restoration so far consists of soaking in vinegar for a day, sanding with 100 grit paper - and back to the vinegar. One of the edges seems to be out of balance - a lot of filing ahead!. I have been looking at a lot of YouTube videos and other "how to restore" blogs - think I have found a pretty comfy niche!
Rough edge - a lot of filing coming up!
