Gold slimline in a burr Elm.

[Terry]

Managed to get the second coat of preservative on the mancave this morning and then put everything back in place. Had time to get this slimline made. Finished in CA.

Nice.. I bet it's preserved better as well now

Not sure if it would have looked better with straight lines tho..

I like that dark wood and nice lines.
I find that it's always harder to photograph.
Nice!

A few minor adjustments to the camera and I think I may have cracked it Brian !!!

I hope so mate that sure is a nice one, as for the wood it does look a bit laburnum-ish more so than Burr Elm but would need to see it it he flesh.

Oh yes, so it is. I couldn't see for looking. Must have me specs on backwards again

The wood looks darker in the photo than in real life. As I say with a little more playing around with the camera I can get the final result as near perfect as possible.
This is all your fault Brian for criticising my photos in the early days !!!!! LOL

You got it spot on Brian. One of my minor adjustments was to raise the exposure to +1. What does xif mean ????
