I posted in the watering hole about my latest addition to the workshop, I was just fitting the tail stock to the other lathe I purchased and leaning over noticed something on the back of the bed in stencil letters, WAR FINISH,

Must admit the finish on some of it is very dark, almost a rough texture too, I,ve heard of War Finish but never expected it to be on a small lathe, just wonder what dictated the finish and on what items ??
