Didn't turn out too bad in the end, despite some fun when finishing and almost breaking the kit because I got the assembly order wrong. Clutch pencil kit and stabilised blue Karelian Birch pen blank from @feinesholz, finished with micromesh, @yorkshiregrit, @chestnutproducts melamine lacquer aerosol, car resin polish and microcrystalline wax. And a keyring kit from @thecarpentrystore for the offcut 😀 #woodturning #irishwoodturning #penturning

Apparently, I've shawarma'd a smurf.

I bought some second-hand 1950s urushiware from Japan to see what real urushi looked like (I was wondering if I could give it a try for some stuff). Holy shit. I think this might be some of the most beautiful craftsmanship I've seen in quite a long time. It's simply stunning. Looks as clean and smooth as enameled metalwork, feels like a half-way house between wood and plastic. If I do try this, the bar will be very, very high even for something simple like this.

That's the last of the practice done, next up will be the sketch pencil from @feinesholz and then the @taylorsmirfield fountain pens in the fancy pen blanks from @feinesholz. #woodturning #irishwoodturning #penturning

First time ordering wood from @feinesholz and it j

First time ordering wood from @feinesholz and it just arrived today (there's a pencil kit and tooling just out of frame as well 🙂 ). Left to right: Padouk, blue stabilised Karelian Masur Birch, and four hybrid resin/wood blanks - one Elm Burl and three Box Elder Maple Burl, one of which was stabilised with blue resin. I particularly liked the bit of padouk - I didn't order it, it's just an offcut thrown into the box along with the rest of the order and a label reading "Thank you for shopping at Feines Holz! Although this piece has one or two flaws or is just undersized, it is too good to throw away. Or not? Maybe you can still do something with it?! Padouk" A challange as swag for new customers, I kinda like that mindset 😀 #woodturning #irishwoodturning
