I still look in wonder at Travis' turnings. :) Finally today, I was able to steal his idea and make a repoduction of his method. I realize it's not a Stinson, but it's as close as this hillbilly will probably ever get:eek: .......For your enjoyment......my Stinson finishing technique bottle stopper......

There's the next contest idea. Best use/interpretation of Ken's newly mastered finishing technique - we'll just have to schedule it for mid '09 so the rest of us can get comfortable with it and get some practice in;) .

How do you turn those crinkles? That's amazing!:eek:
I think you have to use a chatter tool. If you don't have one then a really long flathead screwdriver can be used in its place....... :DQuote:
