Well, again, your good words are very appreciated. :beerchug:

Hoodoo, Very impressed with your art, a real skill. What "product", if any, do you use to finish your pieces? I'm attempting a spoon, made from Cherry , it's not far from finished, and thinking about final touches. One thing is for sure, it won't look anything as good as anything of yours!! Any info gladly recieved. Thanks, Andy...

Mostly I use mineral oil. I have tried some preservative stuff called Nelsonite on stuff that would not be involved with food. It works very well but the works needs to be done outdoors or in the garage because the smell is bad and lingers for awhile.

Here's a small spoon carved in walnut. I think I've posted this somewhere here before.

This is one of those threads, like the most high Erics on Flasks and Tankards, that by the time you get to the the end you can't help but wonder why you ever started reading it in the first place. Because that last project that took you a fortnight and three machines and you were so proud of has just been blown out of the water by a bloke with a penknike.

What more can I say, breath taking. The chain is amazing. Superb work.

And yes the naughty corner may be getting another visitor:lmao:
