I imagine any watered down glue would work but would possibly require a few thin coats rather than one thicker coat to avoid streaks and lines.

As above, soft woods are harder to get a clean cut and often lead to frustration even for the experienced among us, I've not had any reactions to the woods I've turned including iroko but that doesn't mean it won't happen, some wood dusts are considereal toxic, carcinogenic, irritant etc so it...

@paulrbarnard @stuckinthemud slow progress is still progress 💪 👍

Made 3 more Laurel bells yesterday, they're averaging around an hour each start to finish, these 3 have Ash clappers and yes I know the handles are a little wonky 🤪

Well today was a great day (even though I got carried away and forgot to go back to work until way after 6 ) Picked up a stick of Laurel and rounded it between centres with a tenon at each end then cut it in half, had no plan what I was going to make, I have classic fm on whilst in the...

Maybe, I just would have preferred silver or gold for these but I ran out.

More like my fat thumbs hitting the wrong letter, I turn spell check off 🤪

24 small tree decorations made from (I think) Laurel, the wood is still fairly green as it was only cut a few months ago so it cut very cleanly, sanding it with some 320 dried the surface very quickly and allowed me to get a good coat of wax melted into it, really like how they turned out just...

Welcome to the asylum 🤪🤪🤪🤪

Just a few small pieces today, a tiny chestnut burr bowl, a finial/icicle type thing from another small chestnut burr and a small eucalyptus bowl

It is, the photos don't do them justice, Mother Nature has done some amazing work, the burr parts are stunning and the wood has the most amazing golden chatoyance, just wish I had more

I'm only ahead because I had an idea a couple months ago and it worked, turns out it's perfect for who I got matched with 😁

Finished a set of chestnut burr Christmas decorations, the burrs were very small so we're challenging to hold but I'm really happy with the outcome, these are a birthday gift for a colleague And this little bud vase also from chestnut is destined for another colleague who has a birthday next...
