Hi everyone,
I found this Cigar kit among my pen turning stuff, didn't know I had it, no idea where or when I got it??
Anyway, I was in the mood for some turning so, I started with the pen (got a small bowl done also) with a blank that I had on top of my old GMC lathe (has been there for a while, I reckon fall down when I was sanding a lot of that wood, and found it some time later...!) The blank was marked #5 which is Yellow Gum, it didn't have much yellow on it but I used it anyway
No bushes, so all done (measured) with a digital veneers, sanded to 400 and rubbed with some Arganoil. I just took the pics with my old video recorder on the still pic mode, as the video has I light which I used to see what I was doing! well..., sort of!:biggrin:
PS: I should have mention that after sanding, I use some sanding sealer to seal the wood, I apply the sealer the same way as the CA is normally applied. Most times, there is no need to re-sand (depending on the wood) but a rub with 0000 steal wool is all it takes!
Cheers
