Beautifully done! I like the detailed exposure of the ambrosia worm’s hole and markings. I wish I could use ambrosia wood for my canes, as it’s quite stunning.

Trifern. I love Ambrosia maple and the fiddle back makes this one a great piece of furnishings. A nice job.

Ahhaa…you moved to the lower quadrant here…I like it….it definitely fits this grain….once again a winner….You must be spending a lot of time at the lathe….and very quality time I might add…

How do you buff your finishes? I’ve been playing with a car polisher and re-chucking the piece….and that gets a nice gloss….and I’ve tried a buffing wheel on the lathe…that isn’t too hot…as it requires holding the piece by hand.
