Very nice H-A 👍

Really nice finished work!, I especially like the picture of your supervisor pretending to be sweeping up behind you while carefully taking mental notes for your next evaluation.

Keep up the good work Dan.

Lol this was when i popped over with Finlay to see SlackAdder (steve) about some wood👍

Finlay likes to be kept busy so was helping steve in his work shop lol

Finn and Bell (dog) became quite nice friends

Cracking work Dan - and I think you could be onto something...

 

 

Keep sticking your pics up interesting to see the different woods and how they look.

So a little update of what little shed time I've had.

1, testing what mixes of wood would look together. This one is Yew and Elm

2, made a start on the other side of Jonny Burch's handle. 2nd hole needs routing out then a final sand before final paint stripping the paint of the bolts then adding the oil

Have you done any where you've got a highly oiled and polished finish?

 

 

Not sure how practical it would be...!

I would love one of these! Pm me some prices please, Like Zara's finger grip style.

If im using danish oil id be using a clear matt spray sealant.

Otherwise id use beeswax.

Not sure if id not want to use some thing as it really does bring out the gain and amazing colours out like that yew bud

I bought a few ARS turbo cut pruning saws a few years ago, only a pound each, now wish I bought the whole box.

 

I made a Walnut handle for one and it works very well, finished with gun stock oil.

 

I will be making handles for the other blades but will give the handle some more curve.

 

H-A

 

How did you find using those caps bud? Can they be removed easily enough?

Cheers
