The Union body in quartered white oak. Lighter in the hand and harder on the corners than walnut.

Every union was finished in a tung oil and beeswax blend, hand sanded through four grits and rubbed with a soft cloth until the timber would not take any more oil. The interior elastic was sourced from a Sydney saddler and replaced once per run.

Build notes

• Hand cut on the bench from a single board, grain matched left to right.
• Sanded through 120, 220, 320 and 400 grit before finishing.
• Three coats of food safe tung oil over twenty four hours, beeswax buff on the fourth day.
• Interior lining stitched in waxed cotton by a Sydney saddler.
