Much were the tyres Jamie, im in need of some knobbly 2.5".
Seems bitd knobbly worked to a different grade of inches

I've some at 2.3 and they are seriously narrow compared to whats available now.
I think you were spot on Jim. Mantles taking longer than expected, but that said some jobs are a nightmare when you can only do a little each day due to needing glue to dry.

Aye, that would be nice. Think im getting central heating throat

More of the same. do a little bit, rest, a little more ,rest. Get there eventually im sure.
These are the main columns, I decided the inlaid stringing was the way to go, but hell, a job and a half in A. making the stringing at 60 degrees, then gluing in, then wait,wait,wait, plane down, and sand sand sand
Both columns have taken about 40 or so hours to make total.
Pic A is the second one in its final stage before finishing, Pic B is the first about complete, well I say complete, but thats just sanded to 80 grit, still got 120gt,180,and 240 grit sanding stages to get through, so should only add another day or so before I can get the Osmo oil/wax finish on as a first coat(of 3,maybe 4)
