Hi All
One of My Grand Kids gave me this Mistletoe with the comment " bet you can't turn this Pop"":no:
It was a bit of a challange and I had no idea of what I was going to find when I started to get inside. The ony way I could work out to mount the ugly critter was to drill a mounting hole with a forstner and use my pin jaws. rough turned the outside to a tenon. re mounted and finished the outside and inside, some serious splits were filled with 2 part colored yellow and others were just left. I expected the monster to fly apart at any time but it remained in one pice
sanded to 400 and has had 2 coats of poly I will buff it in a few days and leave it where the grand kid can see it along with a photo of the "ugly lump" before And after
Regards
