The initial story was worth a good chuckle, but the entendre of the follow up was truly funny! :) Well done!

That turtle reminds me of something Joe Now what is it !!!!!!.
A very impressive piece of turning. Tell me more about the finish, is that painted on, surely not the grain or is it?.

Good day Grumpy. The piece is sealed with lacquer, painted with artist oil paints, highlights rubbed through to allow the grain to come through, and finished with a spray lacquer. The rings are symbolic of the main promises he has made and the the top center ring represents the promises he has delivered on – “0.”

Nice work!

Thanks for all the comments. This was a fun one. I liked getting the paints out for a change. I like how the grain still shows through in areas.

Funny thing, few people realize how dangerous these turtles can be when they are allowed to stay on their “post” for too long!!!! ;-)
