Antique JAMES SWAN Beam Boring Machine, Beam Drill, Barn Drill, Timber Frame

Description

This drill shows some use but at some point somebody restored it. You can see at the bottom of it the wood is a little bit dried out / has some spaces. The metal on it has lacquer on it to prevent it from breast. I did not do the restoration on it, but it seems as if it was well done. Fairly uncommon tool to find especially in fairly good shape
