Made these last week. Farmer's Pens with corn cob barrels. The natural one is finished with Mercury CA and Magic Juice. The orange one is finished with Gluboost that has been tinted with Gluboost's Master Tint (Amber) and Gluboost Thin. First time I've tinted any CA and it worked a treat.

First time I have turned corn cob and I have to say it was easy, although a bit nerve wracking as I did not want to get a catch with all those eyes leering at me.:winking:

I like your corn cob pens, and the colour.
Did you stabilise the cobs?
I tried turning a couple of cobs that I had grown a while back but not too successfully.
I like the Farmer's kit as well. Not sure that it is available in the UK.
I also tried Glu-boost.....it was successful but costs far too much to import it.
