challenged myself several ways on this one…
- first crosscut/endgrain turning (turning no issue, but splotchy finish at first, but correctable)
- first time using the skew (and used it exclusively)
- second attempt at BLO-CA and dyeing (i think the results are much better)
critiques welcomed/requested

Beautiful, love the color. I want to try the CA finish one of these days, looks like it gives great results.

Thanks for the comments!
David: watch these vids – I did the BLO before the CA which seems to keep the CA from soaking thru the paper towel – i did it all on slow, then final buffing on high speed
