    Mystery maker of Danish Rustic Freehand

    He's not sure when he bought it and was unable to decipher the signature. Really cool either way.

    Ha! Bless the maker and his water. Certainly a unique choice of carving/rustication.

    Buffing/Polishing Compounds to Use with Buffing Machine?

    @georged I noticed Monzerna has rebranded their buffing compound lineup since your early stem making video where you spoke highly of their product. Do you still prefer them and do you have specific recommendations from their rebranded lineup?
