Mistral didn't go to plan

[billyb_imp]

Had a go at turning one of Phil's Mistrals today but all did not go well, I was using some buckeye burr from Rocky Bemis, lots of colour and different patters, stabilised it first but still had a couple of big tear outs, I've had a go at rescuing, filling the tear outs with brass powder.

Not sure if I like the results, its currently drying having coated it with lacquer, will have another look tomorrow & decide if I should assemble it or turn it right back to the tubes & start again.

I've no doubt it will work out for you Billy

Always best to put the bugger down and walk away in these situations. Look forward to seeing what you come up with mate

 

[GeordieB]

Hope it turns out well Billy it sucks when you bugger up a lovely blank

Weird timber sometimes Billy like the idea of poking it away for another day.

That's the problem with Buckeye Billy, it sure does look good on a pen, but it doesn't take much to ruin it .. Hope you can save it my friend ..

 

[Scots Bill]

Ouch Billy, lets hope you can save the day and let us see the result, good luck.
