Here you see a redgum box turned, carved, charred, and brushed (mostly in real time) to create a textured surface on the outside whilst the inside remains smooth natural wood. I fail to see a flaw when finishing the inside so at the end you get to see how I deal with that as well as a few rechucking issues. It's a messy but enjoyable project.
