Got To Play With The Zaan Today!

[RiverRat84]

Went walking a trail with the kiddo today and came across a big branch. Thought it'd make for a good walking stick for the little one and I so took it home with us.

Sawed it in two and got to stripping off the bark with the Umnumzaan. Two hours of stripping and the only noticeable change in the Zaan was the edge along the tip of the knife got a tad toothy, which is fine by me:thumbup:

Now some sanding and a little varnish and lacquer and the kiddo and I have some walking sticks

Thank goodness you have that big pivot!

















:thumbup:ahhh, just kidding. I'm sure the new one would work just fine

 

[RiverRat84]

Hahaha, indeed :thumbup:

A wee bit of thumb whittling going on there too I see.

Very nice, glad to see your liking your Zaan. Did you scotchbrite the finish it looks good?

 

[RiverRat84]

I did. Thanks for the compliment! :thumbup:

I have to agree, It makes the milling stand out much more. They should come like that from the factory
