Yorkshire Grit contains pumice and is extremely sexy stuff! I use it a lot, depending on what finish I’m using, saves me from putting on a coat of danish oil base coat and removes those tiny scratches in one go. :D

I use the Axy set - I regularly use the heads in my cordless drill fro awkward problem areas.

LOL! You're ok mate - I'll leave the colour to you arty types - I'm going in a different direction. 8) :wink:

Great bowl Stew, I agree with Derek about the line - but you're still eons beyond me when it comes to colour! :D

That's a great looking little chuck you have there mate, it'll come in very handy I bet! (nice to see a glimpse of your lovely lathe and workshop again - it's been a while!) :D

There are a couple of people who show how to do this on YouTube. The original one was done by Al Furtado: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYE9owv8jGk and another one by Keith Barrow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VfTbnA1iVE

Glad you're having fun with the videos Stew, I'll give you a shout out on my next one! :)

Stew - loving your videos, keep em coming! ;)

Awesome Stew, can't wait to see your next video! :)

You can use sanding sealer with oils, it gives your piece a more even saturation when dealing with end/side grain ;) Try using a 50/50 cellulose sealer mix with thinner - it will do you well. :)

Make your own - it's cheap, will do you for a good long while and give you a lot of satisfaction! :)

It's a great product and I use it as much as possible to give a flawless finish, PLUS it cuts down on the sanding - cutting down on creating dust can only be a good thing too! :)

Check out my mate Nick at NZ Woodturning on Youtube - he makes LOADS of pencil projects - it's his thing. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3-0S7 ... jj5EkMpymA ;)

Nice piece, Gary Lowe would be proud of that I reckon! =D>

The bowl looks great Derek... the glitter gives a superb effect doesn't it - I was a bit dubious when I first saw it, but after I used it on my last project I was really impressed with it. :D
