After a long break

[Amihai]

After a long break from my workshop, made those two over the last week or so.
One is Redheart, the other is Zebrawood.
I do think the finish still requires an improvement.

Great work.

Good start, I think. I like the overall shapes.

I would put a bit more attention into the bottom rim of your cap, and the top edge of the barrel. The outside surfaces are nice, but those rims look a little janky. I'd clean those up more, and make sure you finish them as well.

Yea, That's the more problematic surface. Any advice on how to finish and clean those will be appreciated, thanks.

I would think, you would clean those up at the same time you drill the initial hole into them. Personally I'd use a tool, rather than say sandpaper. Get em as clean as you can before you flip the blank around to turn the outside. I'd clean it up before drilling, in fact.
