Amboyna burl on chrome navigator

[ToddMR]

This is my first time turning Amboyna burl. It sort of reminds me of redwood burl, only a richer brownish red. I used a chrome navigator rb kit I picked up from WC. I did dry sanding from 240-600 grit, 2 coats thin ca, 6 coats med ca, wet MM from 1200-12000, and then finished off with turtle wax and ren wax. My next piece I do will have the sapwood in it too.
