Having sat on many dropped pins in the past, I decided to make my wife a pin cushion pot. Since thinking about it, it has taken a long time before coming to fruition, but I have David over at DB Woodworking UK on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/db_woodworking_uk/) to thank for suggesting the use of magnets.
During this project, I also received my first supply of Yorkshire Grit (https://yorkshire-grit.com/) and I was very impressed with the results. As the wood was so dense, I also used the microfine to achieve an even finer finish and greater shine.
I also used Chestnut Products (https://chestnutproducts.co.uk/) cellulose sanding sealer, cut ‘n polish and microcrystalline wax during this project.
The wood is Chacate Preto, purchased from Stiles and Bates (https://www.stilesandbates.co.uk/). It was really hard and required my tools to be sharpened a number of times, but it finishes really well.
I also need to thank my wife for agreeing to be filmed and joining in on this video.
