Thanks guys! I'm not much of a turner and I prefer working by hand. I spend way to much time on hand sanding, but very satisfying. Most of my wood has been saved over time from numerous projects through the years. I love combining contrasting woods and the more defects the better. Love knots! I use a Grizzly band saw, belt sander, a BOSS spindle sander and a lot of elbow sanding. The inside is finished with a 2 part epoxy and outside is sealed and 3 coats of hand rubbed poly. I burn or carve all my decals and logos free hand and make sure not to be dead on perfect,thus the handmade appeal.Hope this helps, maybe I'll do a video but right now enjoying shop time. If these are not to boring after awhile, I'll post more. Thanks again for the kind words.
