Euro's Worth more than a Euro

[Grizz]

Hey, just trying to come up with something new for a heading.

Here is 2 of 10 Euro's I've done. One is Dyed Blue Boxe Elder with a CSUSA Nickle plating. And the other is "some kind of wood" that is curly. I know its not Maple, I got it is a blank swap. I wanted to make the curl pop better than what is was appearing so I used black analine dye, sanded down and then some light walnut dye, sanded down and repeated several times. Both are finished with plexi.

Nice work Grizz ! I have a BEB blank I need to dye and turn some day . I think that's cool .

I agree, very nice! The one on the right looks like Curly Koa to me.

Your "mystery" wood is figured asian satinwood. I'd bet my life on it. I've made tons of stuff with it...it has a richer golden color than maple but is not as dark as koa...it has distinct curls to it with subtle thin dark grain that almost swirls around down the blank. It cuts and sands much like olivewood, and doesn't burn when cutting or sanding like hard maple. Sound about right?
