Re: Need help bending snakewood binding

Would you believe that "Glen 20" is also a good CA accelerant? You just have to do a bit of trial and error to not get a white finish (less is best). I learned this in wood turning class making pens;)

Re: My first hand-made rosette

Wow that looks great. I see you are following Bogdanovich. Can't wait to see the finish as I am trying to use his book/video's too. Just waiting for the moisture to equalize here in wet Tasmania.

Re: ziricote OM

Hi
New to the Forum, being from Tasmania, this is the first I had heard/seen Black hearted SF being used for a neck. How do you think it will hold up?
