    Very nice, do you cut and polish yourself? How do they get that mirror finish, is it sort of buffed?

    Hi Jon. You have some nice wood.

    Where are you getting it all from as I dont recall seeing trees that nice in Plymouth last time I was there (lol).

    What else have you got for sale?

    Kevin.

    A!! plymouth has it's own woods

    yeah i cut every burl by hand with a saw

    burls are very easy to finish it just sand them and oil them with olive oil

    wait till you see what i got this time down another wood. Some oak burl if you wanted some what sort of size would you be looking for?

    Alas I'm not a maker, just admiring the wood. That's a lovely finish, you get that just with sanding and olive oil? Do you need a belt machine or a orbital sander? Does it have to be hardened with resin or glue or something?

    it does'nt need to be harded.
    nor do you need a belt sander

    just some sand paper 120grit and 400gritwet&dry

    the wood is very hard tho and it takes a long time to sand like that 10mins
