That was not one of the words that were foremost in my mind whilst trying to knock it into shape Rich, but thanks anyway, it was certainly tough to handle and I certainly know I've tackled it now.

Hi Chas,

2 very nice pieces there, I particularly like the quality of finish on the second piece. :lol:

[richburrow]

hahahahaha
I hope we have not fallen out too badly
It must have been one of those ones that is impossible to get a shaving from, just dust all the way.
Worth it though, done a lovely job with it.
After a while you will forget how horrible it was to turn and have another go, just to be reminded

[Paul.J]

All very nice again Chas,but that Pau Rosa looks gorgeous

 

[CHJ]

Yes it's such and intense red Paul, this bits been lying in the shed for a couple of years at least, been having a sort out, part of a project that just did not look right and got slung to the back, put it back on the machine and removed all the fancy bits back to basic shape, I guess someone will take it.
Pity it looses its vibrancy if left in direct sunlight, used MC wax on it to see if that helps at all.

Only joking :lol:

I'll probably be joining you in similar vein Doug, still got a couple of blanks to use up and some other small requests to do of the 'if you have time of course' nature.

Very nice Chas
