    Default "Squound" box.

    Gooday all.

    Finished this this afternoon. I sort of lost heart halfway through because it has a huge split right across it and threatened to fall in half.

    Timber is Blackwood finished in Lacquer.

    Thanks Artme. I didn't. For the normal cracks in the timber we use I would need 20 litre drums of CA.

    Thanks Eliza. That was the influence behind it. The bottom was going to be the same but it kept cracking around the edges. I got cheesed off and just rounded it over.

    No, only one. The first pic is in full light, the other is partly in shadow.

    Did you do it on your long bed lathe?
    That's what might have caused the cracks?
