Hi all,
Well I'm glad to see the back of yesterday and yes we all have those days...
I was trying to turn some Horse chestnut for a quick order.... The first had hidden fissures, the second I over sanded and it flared either end, right 3rd time lucky..... See pic below!! received_1304135326632755.jpg
Let's have another go, then shall we..... More blanks tubed up...
I think its because its very soft and I was rushing... Less haste more speed:pray::pray:
