Lucille And Peach Do A Photo Shoot

Glue & sawdust?  Crazy.  I've gotta try that.

The handle tops were splitting when I was sanding them.  Coming apart really.  I took it easy with the sanding after seeing that but knew I had to do something to bind the wood together before staining and varnishing.  I knew wood filler would have been better but I had none so I mixed some of the sawdust from sanding with glue and put it on the backs only.  Some seeped through to the faces which I sanded off before staining.  The spots showed up through the stain so I stained again and thought I had it covered till I started varnishing.  I can see where the glue spots were on the face...not even colour throughout...but it is the way it is.  I am not gonna strip them to fix it now.  Next time no glue but rather wood filler.

Amazing job on the handles Hoss! I thought they were replacements for sure the first time I scanned the post! Now I see why it took 18 coats of spar

Two beauties man, congrats!

Got home today from my little procedure, (thanks for the best wishes......I got the "all clear" boys!!!), and after a little nap was looking at the light in the backyard.  Thinking that it was so similar to yesterday I quickly got Peach out of the basement and snapped more shots off.  I really do love this Kettle:

Take it easy!

Congrats on the test results!

Glad to hear it was all clear!

And as for that kettle, loving it could be used as a sanity test.....if you don't, you're mad!

Thanks Kendoll.  I agree about the sanity test.  I keep Peach in the house...down in my man room where it's safest.  If I had diapers in the house I'd rub that kettle with them I swear.
