    Default Green and Gold Sierra

    Australia Day coming up soon!

    Green Tru Stone (Don't know which one).

    Sanded to 2000 grit wet and dry, Brasso then automotive polish and wax.

    This stuff takes the edge of the chisel so quickly that I had to re-sharpen 6 times during the turning process.

    However, I am really happy with the result.

    I stumbled onto a factory that makes Tru Stone on my last trip to South East Asia. Brought home with me 5kgs of the stuff. Knowing what I know now, I should of thrown away all my clothes, gifts for loved ones, souvenirs and toiletry to bring home more of the stuff.

    My parents are leaving for Asia again tomorrow (have to get up at 4:30am to drive them to the airport). Gave them the contact detail to bring me home a few hundred kilos. We will see what they come back with.
