Hello and good afternoon all! I have been busy finishing the Bog Oak Solo Stems the last couplea days, that and cutting grass hopefully for the last time this year. Its starting to feel alot like fall here in the South. Temps are dropping into the low 60's and upper 50's at night which is awesome first thing in the morning. I didnt get as much as I woulda like to get done but did accomplish alot.
Snappo, I hate to say it bro but you do not see channels in the side of the bushing like we talked about. I did give a good try. Its a tough task! The milling bits are super small at only 3/32" wide. The bits themselves are tough but not that tough. I have to mill the notches from side to side by hand. I put the bushing into the vice, crank up the mill and by hand slide the bushing from right to left, or left to right, I tried it both ways. I broke 3 bits and said to hell with it, that cost me quite a bit. I wasnt able to make it happen with the bits I have. I may try again when I find some other bits that maybe stronger. Thing is these bits arent cheap! The ones I am using are $17 each and go up from there. I do hope you feel me bro, I have you a Bog Oak shorty and it will ship first thing Monday morning. I hope this will work for you and look to hear from you soon.
Aezhenn, thanks for the kind words bro and for stopping by! I do appreciate your interest in my pics and my hard work! I like to show what I am working sometimes, its alota fun doing what I do and working wood in the shop. I like that I can share what makes me happy and am able to offer these pieces to others to make them happy. Thats what its all about! I do my best to offer a unique quality product that others will enjoy, doing that is the best, to get some awesome feedback like Quetzalcoatl posted above makes me the happiest guy! Pls let me know if I can ever do anything for you in the future.
Quetzalcoatl, I am glad you got your piece already. I am really glad you like it and are happy with it! It is hard to really capture the stripes in the grain of that species. I have really tried myself. Like I said above bro, I really appreciate the feedback! If you are happy, I am happy! I hope you enjoy it for a long time to come.
I will be listing the Bog Oak Solo stems in the morning. I have a few things to do this evening and wont be able to get to it. I will also be offering some Bog Oak Shorty Solo Stems as well! I only have a couplea three so if you want one you better jump on em. I am gonna have some new pics of the pieces posted also. Its been a while since I have been able to offer these and dont have many of them. I have had alot of interest in this species and am glad I was able to make these happen. Keep an eye out for em in the morning and they will ship first thing Monday morning.
Vito, good eye man, hope all is well your way. Thanks for stopping by man, I wish you the best!
