Another beauty Joe. The grain is stunning and the depth of finish really brings that out.

Thanks for posting it.

Is this the first piece on your new lathe?

Gorgeous Joe. How long does it take to do a finish like that? I’m not thinking about just work time, but total time. Whatever amount of time it takes, the result is worth it. Do you sell these? If I could do work like that I don’t think I would be able to let go of them.

Beautifully done, and appropriately named!

I have a 30ft spalted figured maple tree in my yard that is about ready to cut down. Come on over!
