Jnr Statesman in Buckeye Burl

[AuS MaDDoG]

Hi All,

Prepared these blanks earlier this morning and made up the FP pen this afternoon. Sanding to 12000, EEE then 20 coats CA then light sanding to 12000 before then buffing off using EEE again.
The Buckeye Burl was very easy to work with and I am very pleased with the fit and finish I think the timber really suits the kit too

Cheers
Tony.

Thanks mate!!

I bought the kit from a local supplier here in Australia, I'm sure if you done some searching you will find other suppliers.
