After 6 weeks of pens and bottle stoppers and with a quiet day to myself I put off tidying the workshop to turn a lump of Kerto. My daughter persuaded me to buy this a the good timber sale earlier in the year because it looked "pretty".
Well its horrible cheap plywood full of voids and loose bits. It was very dusty to hollow and did blunt the tools quickly.
Getting a decent finish was hard work too starting with 60grit paper and lots of it.
The voids that I couldn't avoid (sorry :wink: ) I filled with some powdered brass wich turned out ok
Anyway it ended up like this.
I'm not too taken with it but my daughter loves it
