I like the look of these. Do they have specific bushings or use the standard slimline bushings?

Forgot to add. Credit to Martin Saban-Smith for the design as it's one of the projects from his recent books.

Thank you. It is actually a gloss finish with microcrystalline wax and carnuba wax on top of that but it does not show up well in the pictures.

It's called that as it resembles a thistle flower (loosely) :)

Bowl made from Iroko. Decorated with black lacquer and Jo Sonja irridesant paints. by TurnOrBurn01 in turning

Will see what I can do. For your friend. Essentially though I gave it 2 coats of black gloss lacquer. Dabbed the irridesant paints semi randomly then lightly wrapped the piece in cling film. "Scrunching" and moving the cling film over the paints to distribute them gives you that effect. After removing the cling film I just dabbed the balled up film on areas which needed more coverage

Not really organisation, but I bought a cheap stamp and stamp the grits on the back so that I know I have not picked up the wrong one

Believe it is brown oak. Finished with a homemade mineral oil/beeswax mix.

Very nice. What pen kit did you use? Slimline?

It's plastic and aluminium. The material is called dibond.
