Dremel with small sabuur tooth bits. Sand o flex flap sander . And a cheap beginners chisel set from Axminster tools which was surprisingly good👍, cheers Lee.

    Also the Sherpa loaders "slightly" more compact and cheaper then the cast, hadn't had any hard use from mine yet but great for tidying yard and moving logs about and fits in the van.

    Hi Andy, after many instances as you described, including 10 mushrooms seats I did for a school which all pissed sap out of the knots and centre pith and had to re-sand and finish them twice!🙈, I dont put any oils on cedars/pines or green oak for that matter as it just doesn't soak in at all , I just do two heavy coats of clear wood preservative(ever so slightly tints the wood but brushing it in also helps clean up any sawdust still left in the details) and then it's upto the buyer in 6 months or so what finish to apply. Teak oil does work on the mentioned timbers and does tint slightly and I also seen some coloured wood preservative but have yet to try it, cheers Lee.

    As above make your own , you can order the reels from America can't remember company name tho ,but if you search Sand o flex refills on YouTube there is a guy who makes his own and all the details are in the comments, in the mean time I've used eco flex flap Sanders and do the job but £17 + post ?, on cheaper emergency level the wickes sanding stars do work okay ish

    Hi, gusharts sell them, search for chainsaw carving on the site, although had to get it re-milled as sizing was off to fit die grinder, or b&q do a cheap rasp set for a drill which you can make easily if you have a dremel and grinding disc
