It's always good to wrap the piece if leaving it over night with a bin bag containing the shaving, helps keep it stable.

Treated to the new Bond film ... was it good ..   :( ..  are flicks in town wanted £ 8:00 what ever time you went to view it ...   :o ...  I'd not pass for concessionary price .. if they had one ...  ;D ..  soon be on DVD no doubt if their to make the money it cost.

Cheers'

Woody, that's some lovely figures and the white sap wood again, do you plan to roll the base to finish it off.

It will be one beautiful piece once it has your usual finish standard.
