Spalted and mottled apple J. Gents roller...

[bluntchisel]

Hi, Guys,

Just finished the last of Woody's spalted and mottled apple on this gold Junior Gents rollerball. Took a lot of stabilising - in fact the cap was the third one I had to turn. The other two blew up on the lathe due to the wood being so punky. Bit like Woody, really. He's a bit of a punk on the quiet - dyes his hair purple just to go down the pub at lunch time! Her Ladyship don't wanna know - she drinks elsewhere!

Anyway, grits to 600, and four coats of Huts friction polish.

Regards to all,

Bob.
