Lionel, I think you are truly joking this time!!! This has to be iron! Great work, my friend, great work!

OK I am confused. Is this "horse chestnut" wood? or old iron? Interesting.

That's really cool! I've got some pieces I've turned full of voids that hold little interest to me... I may need to give 'em a good coat of rust! Inspiring!

Some people will do anything to keep from sanding their work! :) Nice piece Lionel. It really looks like a rusted ole pot.

Hi all, thanks for your kindly comments
I'm experimenting with the problem of the liar
one can no longer believe them...
No, it's really the chestnut
@ Charlie: Yes, but a battlefield of 400 BC (no WWI)...no, I'm joking
@ Scott: Some people Will do anything to keep from sanding their works!
You're right Scott, absolutely right :D
@ James: but yes, it's an old rusty pot ...217654

Gotta love this forum. I see things here that you'd never think of. Lionel, your finishing treatment is simply fantastic ... only surpassed by your 'presentation' to us ..... thank you for your contribution to the collective!

I Love It. Simply awesome. I want to make some of my wood rust like that but I'm confused as to how...can you tell me what to look for/buy?
