    Default Joy of a tuned kanna

    A well-tuned kanna, a sharp iron, and some great Qld maple for a sideboard top. Life doesn't get much better than this.

    The top is for Garret Hack's huntboard in FWW 187 I'm making for daughter. I was going to do a WIP, but I'd feel like an absolute doofus if I messed it up midway through . The second photo is at it's current stage. The door frames and panels are completed and just need gluing up, then trimming.

    Welcome to the club.

    You havent made it on the WW forums unless you feel like a doofus.

    Default Joy of kanned tuna

    I had some last night with salad. John West - the best!

    Seriously though, that is a beautiful piece of work Des.
    And you are right - there is nothing better than the whisper of a finely tuned plane as it sings to you.
    You picked a beautiful timber to perform on as well.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    Oz, I have that doofus feeling every second day. (More often according to daughter).

    It's a pity they put tuna in cans. It's really meant to be eaten fresh and raw.
    SWMBO loves Qld maple, and shellac really brings out its depth, warmth and richness.
