I had this bit of worm eaten beech, I could see a nice shape in it but ugggh, the worm holes!
So I turned it, loads of worm dust and it looked awful with all the holes, what to do?
Out to the garden with the blowtorch, gave the outside a real good scorching, wire brushed it back and felt better for it. A good drenching in Lemon Oil to settle it and then I turned and finished the inside.
Exterior finished with Hard Wax Oil - never used it before but decided to try it, it's left it glossy but I can live with that.
It's 130mm dia x 85mm high (5.3" x 3.3").
Comments and critiques as you will and thanks for looking.
