Granite Cigar

[jttheclockman]

This one is heading to Pennsylvania today. The person loves the color black so I thought this might satisfy him. It is made from an Italian blank called black granite. I have read numerous times of people having trouble with this type of acrylic and it's melting point. I have no problems at all and love this stuff to turn because it is so predictable. I drill with a sharp bit and I clean the debris often. I also cool my bit with denatured alcohol as I drill. When turning I only use my skew and keep it very sharp. I micromesh using water. Works for me. Thanks for looking. Have agreat turning day.

"Magnifico granito" oh, wait a minute I can't use a foreign language. See Jeff, I'm in compliance and just will just say that it's "magnificent".:biggrin:

John that is a beauty, the blank looks `perfecto` and should suit him perfectly!
