My latest effort
This is a Broker in Tassie Oak. I had to patch it up a little with Ca but it turned out OK. It is a Rustins finish which I am trying. Hope it meets with approval.

I really like the way you made the barrel fit the lines of the pen. Nicely done!
Beautiful timber too.
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

Nice pen Mrs W
. From the photo its a nice piece of Tas Oak (almost looks like a bit of burl with the unusual grain). The Rustins finish looks pretty good too, I really love using it myself and found the most important tool was a good fine bristle brush. Once I changed over to a $7 from a craft shop from a cheapo from you know where... the finishes improved dramatically... again, nice work and keep the pics coming.
CorbsIt's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.
