Quick question. The wood around my spinners on my Whirlwind is a bit worn down. I saw a replacement decal (Marco?) that goes around that area, however, given that the wood is chewed up, I don't see how that could lay flat or look good.

Anybody figure out how to repair the wood around those spinners into nice crisp edges again?

Yeah... I'm nitpicking and thankful to have a pretty flawless Whirlwind.

Quoted from dmacy:

I can’t comment on the tape option but if it matches it would be a easier fix. Otherwise taylorva sells new oak rails and I know he does WW as I bought them. He is on vacation now though but worth reaching out.

What do you mean oak rails? I'm talking about the wood just around the spinners. My disks are nice and new, but, the wood around the opening is a bit beaten up. Unsure how to restore that.

Anybody have a scan of the plastics to the left and right of the main ramp? I'm thinking about replacing mine (which are broken on the bottom).

Anybody done a restoration of the wood around the spinning disks? Like many Whirlwind's, the wood around my spinning disks is worn down/exposed as wood. But, unsure anything can be done.

Wear around the spinners... Any procedure for cleaning that up. The wood itself is worn down, no crisp corner edge around those spinners anymore.

Has anyone fixed that up? Restored it to original condition?
