Dunkield Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 2nd build, bit of an unconventional one, but it's a case of ergonomics over asthethics, if I remember correctly from school. Started with a nice lump of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) I just drilled a hole up through the bottom rather than using a stud to hold it all together Edited February 3, 2006 by stuartp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) and then lots of sanding going down through the grades, followed by some wire wool and linseed oil to finish. Looks odd, but it is very comfortable to use. Edited February 3, 2006 by stuartp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
