    Default a jack for a b/day present

    hey guys
    have had a crazy time with outings with my local club and havent had a chance to make anything new for a while ,
    turned a jack daniels blank a few weeks ago and was telling a workmate about it and she said SOLD my brother drinks jack
    noticed a little star shaped area possibly from a branch i placed it under the clip as i tried having it in the open and it didnt look right
    its a cigar with the usual 20 coats of CA

    looks awesome mate, i'm still avoiding light coloured wood pens due to my ca ring / wet sanding / etc etc. i really have to get my act together and sort out ca'ing on cones to fix it. i'm always too much in a rush. looks like you took your time and grats on the sale nice one mate =).

    Neal.

    Troy, try this--turn Jack down and sand as smooth as possible--put blanks into a cup of JACKS for 3 days, remove, and let dry, then assemble and sell as is!!!hmm!!!! just a thought Amos
