the grain of this wood is amazing,anyway you turn it will come out great,catahua on the other hand is pretty if got some spalting,turning this woods is a treat,Estoraque,is hard and heavy,catahua is medium hard but side grain coud be a hassle,some times when finishing,but over all quite docile

Some beautiful turnings….the Estoraque is exquisite…does it have another name – I don’t recall that name?

All of them turned out amazing….great job…

Nothing better than a great blank…the lathe turning smoothly…and the nice stips of sawdust flowing off the gouge…

Another fantastic group of turnings. That Estoraque has a fantastic grain pattern to it and you allways pick great form to bring it out. Outstanding job.

Keep up the wonderfull work.

Beautiful pieces. I love the deep reds in the Estoraque. Do they export this to the USA?

Some beautiful woods you have there. You also did a great modification to the blanks.
