The cherry burl saga
During my visit to Willy Vanhoutte Belgium i picked up some fixum for
the burl. Any thoughts on this product my first time using it. Had all the windows and door open after reading to use instructions on the back. Found it easy to use and love the solid screw cap tin it comes in. However the instructions on the back are not for the faint hearted. So the first turnings got a soak and it turn them all to a darker shade.
after that took a medium size piece cut off as much of the decayed parts with the bandsaw and cut into two morsels. These where then turned down to good wood then treated to a bit of fixums by now I'm falling in love with the darker shade after use.
Next up i took the mid sized piece from the last three bits and went about sizing it to mount on the lathe. After having it set to were i was satisfied got turning the base and set in a tenon. All the base then got the fixum treatment and some ca into the larger cracks 
Thats where I'm up to at the moment leaving them all to cure for thr rest of the afternoon and over night. Almost down to the last two.
