Been waiting for you to finish this one for a while, it looks great to me, well done :2tsup:
You'll have to bring it to the BBQ so we can have a decent look at it.
You have come a heck of a long way in a short period of time :2tsup:
I love it. :cool:
Well done! Been waiting to see it for a while.
I hereby nominate this the "most outside of the box" box in the box challenge :2tsup:
Cheers,

Ummmmm being the legend of world renoun that I am... I have discovered that HIDE GLUE does not stick to shellac.
The shellac can be sanded through with a coarse cutting no fill sand paper, but....
I have not tried bonding any other glue types to the shellac - but my initial "educated guess" is that it probably won't work - or work very well.
If the parts are small enough to be stuck in a sealable container, then a good soak in metho will take all the shellac out of the grain - eventually.
I think that looks just terrific. Such a great piece of art.
That's awesome TL :2tsup::2tsup::2tsup: Love it! Worth the wait (if anyone has the right to be REALLY late, it might as well be the person who came up with the challenge :wink: ) :2tsup::2tsup::2tsup: KenW eat your heart out :;:U
That's great
I'm pretty sure i saw something like that in the recent star trek movie :D
TL is the undisputed finial queen :2tsup:
What I did was finish th box with shellac, then drill the holes. With the finials I finished them on the lathe with white shellac then parted them off soo their ends were bare wood. They were then epoxied into their holes with 5 minute araldite cos I didn't want to stand there for 24 hours holding the loose ones till they set.:doh: There are a few spots where excess epoxy is squished out. :C I might fiddle with it to see if it comes off the shellac, if I get around toit.:D
:B I think I've decided I like REALLY TINY things and REALLY BIG things. :cool: Had an enjoyable day turning some red gum firewood into tiny bowls.
What an amazing bit of work TL, great work and very funky:cool::2tsup:
I can see bits of box in there. You cheating and skimping on the finials, eh, TL? :~
Definitely different. :2tsup:
