    Default Osage Orange From Wallan

    With gratitude to Alan from Wallan, this piece came from just outside Wallan I am told. The kit is an All Cross Platinum slimline from Addictive Pens; The wood turned beautifully, finished by sealing twice with Shellawax Glow, then one coat of CA, rub back a little, then EEE, then 2 more coats of Shellawax Glow; Just could not capture the beauty of the colour of this Osage Orange as well as I would like, in presence it looks really delicious Amos

    I've found with the lighter or brighter woods that plain shelawax is better.
    It doesn't shift the colour as much.
    I seem to think that CA also doesn't have the sparkle I would like at times.

    cheers

    Most powertools have sharp teeth.
    People are made of meat.
    Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

    G'day Amos,
    Very interesting wood. I have yet to use any of that......yet. I was really surprised at how well the platinum kit looks with that.....very nice.

    Cheers,

    Rick

    G'day Amos,

    Great result on the Osage Orange.
    Typical of what to expect from such a colourful
    wood which is excellent to work with.

    Cheers,

    Allan from Wallan

    And you never will It gets darker and darker with age - but still has the glow about it - even after 30 years when it's a dark chocolate colour .
