Hello everybody
Today I show you my first wire brushed vase made of Douglas Fir.
I never thought that Douglas Fir was so difficult to work with on the lathe.
I think the wood grain is even more fantastic with the wire brush effect.
you have to look closely at how I used a wire brush in the angle grinder
to dig out the grain. the lathe was not on during this operation.
the wire brush must follow the grain to make it look just right.
light sanding removed all the splinters before applying the oil.
I hope you like it.
Kind regards,
Roger
