Hi Ken,
           a simple shape that allows the graing to be shown off. Looks to be well finished.
Well done
John

Hi to All,
Thanks for the comments.
I now use Lemon oil on the majority of my turnings. It is easy to apply and drys evenly and quickly. I normally leave the 2nd coat for 24hrs and then use burnishing cream which improves the feel of the outer surface.
Regards
Ken
