Another beautiful turning Joe. Not familiar with Seal a Cell, is it a shellac based product?

Hey DocK, Seal-A-Cell is an oil based clear stain by General Finishes. I have been pleased with how it really makes the grain opo and come alive.

Beautiful work, on a beautiful bowl. I’ve never heard of tigre caspi, its coloring and grain pattern is great. Is this a turners wood that is available mostly in blanks? Have you seen it in lumber?

Again, this is a very nice piece!

Wow, I always thought it would be neat to turn a bowl out of juniper, it has small pockets of rot and I bet the natural “holes” would be wonderful

Never heard of this wood until now …I thought it was Zebrawood for a minute , but the color isn’t right . How much was the blank , Joe ? The grain is really awesome as is the shape and finish once again : ) How long have you been turning ?

Hey Dusty, I purchased the blank from the Peoria,IL Woodcraft store for about $22-$28? I purchased my lathe the first week of March, so I have been turning about 5 months. Thanks for the feedback.

GREAT WORK—GORGEOUS WOOD!!

Hey! I just Googled this “Tigre Caspi” and can’t find any sellers, not even on eBay. I really would like to get my hands on some. Where do you get it?? Please do tell—send me a PM—PLEASE!! ;-D

—-WAIT, NEVER MIND!! I just read your response in the other project with tigre caspi—that you get it from Woodcraft. Hmm, I don’t have one near me. Maybe they sell it online…
Anyway, KEEP IT UP!!!
