The beauty of working at home is that dinner breaks can be taken in the shed. Here is a Lignum Vitae that Steve sent me this morning. Its an unusual wood to turn and is quite oily like Thuya but scratches very easily. I had to sand it down to 2000 before applying ca which is the first time I've had to do that. The colours in the wood are beautiful and I hope it shows in the photo.
