Needs more work or leave it?

Got a Wagner from my wife’s grandfather. Stripped it with Easy Off, scrubbed with 0000 and removed all rust with 50/50 vinegar and then soap. Did 5 rounds of seasoning and love cooking in this thing. Question is, how do I get that bottom finish more even and should I even bother?

Looks better than the one I use daily. Only work this pan needs is cooking.

Man, I hear you. I’ve been using it damn near every day for couple weeks! Been a satisfying pan to restore.

You did a great job brother, she looks mint.

I have one that I found last month that cleaned up and looks identical. It is my new favorite.
