I have not been here lately, so here is one of my latest.

An elegant beauty rhodium kit from Dayacom in ancient Kauri pine. Pine form this source can be as old as 50000 years old.

The finish is WOP

Thanks for looking

I love how Kauri shimmers in the light. I bought myself a Christmas present. I purchased a bowl turned by Rick Taylor in New Zealand. He's a world famous Kauri turner. It was so beautiful when I first got it it put a tear in my eye. Well, nearly....

I have a Kauri pen turned out of crotchwood. Very cool stuff.

Thats a real nice pen .Beautiful wood. I was worried about your finish at first cause i have a cookbook at home with a recipe for wop biscuits. You unroll the wrapper then wop the container on the counter. Pull out the biscuits and put on a cookie sheet and bake. Of course this is a motorcycle babes cookbook:biggrin:
