    Default 1st Bark Inclusion

    Hey There,

    I had a piece of Peppermint, that had some bark inclusions, so I tried something, it sort of worked, so back to the drawing board to make it better, I am going to try (with Dave's help DJ Evans) and do one cast in resin (I hope)
    Anyway the kit is a Sierra Executive Gold and Gunmetal and the timber is Peppermint and its finished in CA and Hutt Wax, it's a bit chunky cause I was running out of bark.

    Comments welcome

    That looks nice Hazza

    You could try filling the hole with something like brass powder or since it is from a peppermint tree crushed turquoise just a thought

    Very nice any way.
    Cheers Rum Pig

    Putting your best chisel forward again and not afraid to think and act on your own and bite the bark, neat to collaborate with your fellow member over there Dave.

    Regards Peter.

    interesting - well worth trying - I reckon it looks ok
    I wouldn't fill with anything - the bark is the interesting bit
