This was an awesome day. :DLots of sunshine and I got to work most of the day in my shop. It actually got up to 60* inside the shop, a very workable temp.:cool: I finished hooking up my dust collector to my new Rikon 14" and then made a couple of pens. First time in weeks that I have been able to work in the shop and not freeze.
Yes I know the pens are pregnant looking but they were ordered that way by the customer. So whats a body to do but what the customer wants, right?:)
One uses a commercial dynawood blank and the other is cedar cut form a downed tree on a friends farm. The finish is 3 coats of crystal coat and one coat of the Hut gloss stick.
I am not sure why, perhaps it is the oil content of cedar but I can't get it to shine like ofter woods. I was going to CA it for the first coat but forgot it.:(
