Looking very good mate, you're certainly working hard and deserve to do well. I'm sure you will.

Very nice. What are the sizes? Finish or buffed? Do you undercut the cap? Way back when I turned them I made a tool just to undercut.

Hi Phill & Terry I don't always undercut them I found they sell just as well even if you dont undercut non of these are as I haven't made a new tool to do it yet so I just use the wing of a spindle gouge sizes range from 2 1/2" to 7" Terry and they are finished with sanding sealer & friction polish on the lathe

They only take about 5 Min each to make from start to finish so I haven't been working that hard LOL Dave

Very nice Woody. I was going to ask what finish you had used, but you've answered it already :thumbs:

Old faithfuls are reliables Woody always impressed by them, child stoppers must haves. When I first read this its five in the morning I thought Yew is dangerous? mushrooms? very impressed mate.

Good fortune on the street mate.
