Burr Horse Chestnut Euro..JPG

I also turned this lovely stick of burr horse chestnut into a Euro. Chose not to fill in the few small pinholes so after turning I went straight onto the sanding. Grits to 2000, white spirit, five coats of BLO/CA.

Bob.

Bob,

Horse Chestnut is a timber I know nothing about so thanks for showing your pen it broadens the experience for me. Like the way you are giving time to the task it shows.

Kind regards Peter.:goesred:
