November 12, 20241 yr Popular Post comment_346172 I won the chapter challenge last year at our club with the lamp I made. That means I had to pick what everyone has to make for this years chapter challenge. I want to pick something that the newer turners could turn and the experienced turners could take to the next level. I chose a winged box. This is mine so far. Still have a ways to go. Report

Sanding to 400 is always a nice finish - I'm out of 400 at the moment Spirit sanding sealer is about my favorite finish if I'm using any. Just enough to keep dirt and such out of the pores.

I like Mylands Celulose sanding sealer the best. Report
