Sandwich?? lol, that would be a sand .

A bit of tidying up and a sandwich before painting.

I've got two routers both using 1/4" shank , the smallest is 1.5mm straight flute upwards. I've tried most wood and have no preference really, the key is don't buy cheap router bits. I brought the plunge bit today for my smallest router to make it easier for fine detail work.

I do have a dremel but rarely use it for this now.

I hope others do as well, something like this could and will save people thousands one day!

Couldn't agree more, well done Ian

Made from sycamore, ready to be routered out.

Beautiful craftsmanship there, well done.

This weekends job a sunflower circle, surrounded by plum slate with a mixed evergreen hedge or laural and red robin.

There are a few different ways of doing it , this one I printed on photo paper, glued photo face down with a liqutex gel, wait overnight. Then soak the backing paper with water until you can see the picture and slowly rub off. Be careful if you rub to hard you can remove the picture.

Cheers, I need to sign up.

Avoid at all costs. Over on paving expert where I am a member, this topic has been done to death. It does not last the course. If you want a product that you can sweep in, use easijoint. It needs to be wet to use it so ideal if its raining. Have used it for three years now, without any come back.

Have you got a link so I can have a read, or do I have to be a member

I have used geofix for all my patios recently and haven't had a problem to date. I find that using plenty of water with it works better.

Do you have any pictures of the problem what is the width of joint your filling.

As Rob said above really, i've sold a few with food safe oil on them. There are loads of people selling them in shops and on the internet, so you should be fine.

Might be because its a burr as well, or you didn't tidy up after the last bowl you turned. Either way its a nice looking bowl .

Think it might be the wood your using, mdf is not very good at getting wet imo. I use a gel glue instead of acetone, various different ways.

What method have you been using then.

I gave it a go last week; quite a co-incidence. I tried it to some mdf shapes and got a very high definition transfer but quite a lot of staining.

I've only tried it on cherry at the moment, what kind of staining is it ?
