    John,

    That one is a cracker, the Churchill is a very underestimated kit in my opinion. The Punga really suits it, nice job John

    Cheers
    Tony.

    Yep the black seems the best option for these I have tried different colors but very erratic in performance and not always matching the blank too well, (nearly time to order another log too, hehe) cheers ~John

    Excelent work John, being born in NZ we always had a few ornaments around the house made from Punga & always reminds me of my late mother who loved Punga. I think I will have to source some and make some pens and such.
