Hi Serge

Yes it is. Wanted to get them out of the way and finished. CA finish to 2500 wet and dry using wet sanding. I know got to get MM, getting that organised but won't be doing much until end of January next year. There is a nice patch of birdseye in the piece. What length to you need for a set of Barons. Email me a I will cut some for you. :)

Hey Jules,

Thanks for the kind words. I think they turned out ok still experimenting with CA finish. Still like BLO/CA finish at times. Will get an even better finish when I get some micro mesh from the States. Better than wet and dry. My customers were happy and I got a $400 piece of timber for nothing, I think it was a fair trade for 5 pens.

You know where I'm at, if I not I be hiding say noooo Christmas has been cancelled go away. :D
