THe name has nothing to do with the timber itself which finishes like shot silk.

Yesterday I determined to make a thin Slimline from one of my ancient glue ups that have small square blanks tricky turning with this timber entirely happy with the result ever cut revealed another pattern. With my new lights has come a new challenge several hours analizing white balance off to a tech wizard todat my camera is 14 yrs old now and the manual over a hundred pages the symbols the size of ants eyes, there is a green cast now the camera has 6 ways to set the white balance I will when I find out how find some answers then back to my routine few minutes of pic taking and showing.

Anyone who ridicules Slimline making is misguided making one piece pens is a doddle in the park comparitavely IMHO.
