East Indian Rosewood Sedona roller...

[bluntchisel]

Hi, Guys,

Bit of a job to show the grain on this one. It's a lovely wood to turn, sand and polish (but rather hard to drill), and looks good when finished. Has brown/dark brown lines (like cocobolo) running through its length but have given up trying to get a decent photo.

Grits to 600 plus four coats of friction polish, and Bob's yer uncle...er...I mean Bob's yer maker!

Regards,

Bob.

If your going to buy friction polish for pens try the shellawax for spindles Shellawax and woodturners stick for on top of the F/P Liberon Woodturning Stick 50g - Liberon Finishes - Finishes - Finishes

Woody, I had a look at the shellawax and I'd like to get some but it seems expensive for the size of bottle, how long do you find it lasts?
