Len, yep I normally just do the plastic stuff and a kitless pen now and then. The Bocote wood said 'Wild Bocote' ( written on it ) and I assume they referred to the grain pattern.
The few times I've used Bocote before, the grain was much less 'Wild'. I dunno if it is a different tree or just a different part of it.
Lee, you are very close but a bit unfair on Mark. I've seen Marks 'scrap box' and the finish on those is what I'm still aiming for!!!
. I have visited him a few times and he did show me a trick or too, but I'm still practicing what I learned from him.
Thanks again:wink:
