A friend has been round wit some 300 yr old Oak floor boards to see if I wanted them FOC for making pens. He is refurbishing his old mill an has had to replace quite a few boards.

Talked him in to turning this with it while He was with me. Not too bad, simple friction polish finish (I thought the CA would have finally finished him off):funny:

I got a few short boards, I will look what I have to salvage and if there are any spare I would be willing to let a few go FOC just the postage costs. I will put it out on forum when I get sorted, away for the weekend so won't be till next week at earliest.
