    Hi
    The finish... great. How do you do that.
    In the pic it looks like you only used oil and wax.
    Could you please share the secret to reach that style of lustre.
    regards Terry

    Beautiful work!!! You should be very proud of yourself.

    Nice Work Pete. WHat's the storey behind the name, a Pride and Prejudice reference?
    If I do not clearly express what I mean, it is either for the reason that having no conversational powers, I cannot express what I mean, or that having no meaning, I do not mean what I fail to express. Which, to the best of my belief, is not the case.

    Very impressive, Pete! What carving tools do you use - Dark side or some of the power jobs available? The timber and the finish look fantastic - I'm sure it'll continue to be polished forever - by all the hands that will just want to run over it!

    Cheers,

    Jill

    fantastic work Pete, Mr Darcy looks great.

    OH yeah great looking finishing shed too.
    If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people like me ask? Do I get smart just in time to ask questions?

    Nice horse, the Donkey Tamer might buy him.
    He should be able to stay on that one.
