Ebonite On A New Series Style RB

[liljohn1368]

This is my first ebonite. It turns great but the smell is a bit harsh. I finished it with MM and some buffing compound.

Thanks for looking.
C&C welcome...

Thanks, Mal, Jim, and Michael.

And everyone who liked my post. The ebonite turned great. I got it in the October PITH from truckfixr. He sent me one more piece That I think Imay do me a pen out of.

The secret and key to using ebonite is HEAT MANAGEMENT. The hotter it gets the more it smells.

Very nice looking!

edstreet you are exactly right. While I was turning it, it smelled awful.

Thanks Billy for the compliment.

Get you a super sharp round nose scraper. There will be no smell.

When I swapped to my carbide tools it helped also.
