That looks different Peter, not sure about the intensity of the swirls on the cap tho.

finish is superb as we have become to expect from you. No pressure..

Love the blank and turning Peter but how does the kit compare with the gent??:thumbs:

You cant ask that..:nonono: that's my question..:face:

Peter,

Whats the kit quality like? Is it from the same manufacturer as the Jr Gents or the Baron? Did it come in a milylime bag or a plain one?

Sorry Terry I can't tell you that, I'm waiting for Eamonn to show up and ask me the same question:funny:

I agree about the swirls, it is a hit and miss affair when you make them and I tried to use the part of the blank that was as consistent as possible.

I will post the comparison photo after dinner, I have made curry and rice, I am so looking forward to it, and say what I think of the Castellar and in comparison with the Dayacom.

Curry and Rice, details man, details. Korma, Bhuna, Jalfrezi, Madras, Vindaloo? Pillau, Mushroom, Keema Rice? If there's no peshwari naan then its not a real curry.

Have you finished yet? We're waiting.

It is, but the top looks too solid compared to the rest of it.

That's beautiful ! Like everyone else , I love the swirls and the colour.
It's made me very impatient to try casting ! ( or is that a bit like trying to run before I can walk ? )
