    I like it.

    Do you have an endless supply of these end plates or is it a remake of your earlier model?

    Jow,

    I aquired a couple of more ends and am in the process of making another. I quite like the challenge as to what to design for the front because they are all off different machinery makes. It keeps me occupied on my days off! The first one I did is for myself as the ends came from our old farm, these others I'm going to sell.

    Have you thought of approaching the local undertaker, they might go down well the the local farming community?

    Another fantastic effort - that would look really good on our veranda

    The old Massey 65 still gets a good workout at our place, but looks a bit out of place against its brothers 10 times as big

    Why not try finishing in Feast Watson fine buffing oil? It would be a breeze given those nice flat(ish) surfaces.

    Finished now, ended up using white polish and wax to highlight the timbers grains and colour. Now to get out the bush and round up some more ends!!!
