The one that made me laugh more than any other was the blokes that turned Christmas trees and still made a fortune I missed where they sold them as I would have contacted them and sold some proper turning :lol: :lol: :lol:

The only thing that I would say is check that the person does not have any nut allergies. If in you are not sure then use the food safe oil from chestnut.

Thank you AES. Model making come to a halt as I have been making something for my woodturning club for a competition as well as making things for Christmas I also cover with a finish after the paint System 3 is an acrylic paint and yes it comes in tubes as stated that is why I use a product...

Cupboards and draws which do not fill with shavings as long as I close them properly

Thank you.

Thank you just been there and had a look so pleased with the result

I use acrylic artist paints as well System 3 is the make but tend to thin it with flow aid rather than water, as water will make them become transparent by doing that I can spray them with one of my single action type airbrush this picture will give an idea of coverage normaly two coats and it...

Thank you all. I have already been approached by someone who would like to buy it but had to refuse them as it has the Royal British Legion poppy sysmols on it instead I will be donating this piece to the RBL local branch after Saturday as I made this also as a competition piece

Thank you all. I have been working on this for nearly a week as the decoration was originally going to be flames but two days ago I decided to rub it back and go with this design. The inside and bottom I have left natural wood so people can see the material that this piece is made from

That is more than a reasonable time in the shed some great bowls Chas

For most bowls that is what I do but thought I would try a different approach with this one and the walnut one I have just finished

This is how I got mine, still have some of the larger ones left

Todays little effort from the workshop a small chestnut burr, Finished with sander sealer and buffed on a three wheel buffer. Measures 6" X 3 1/4". I had to tidy the top rim up as a piece broke off making it look untidy for a natural edge C & C welcome
