Just having fun (photo added)

[alamocdc]

Not one of my better glue-ups, but I was just playing with some scraps... I just hate to throw anything away. It started out as three small blank leftovers of California Olive, Lignum Vitae, Coco (mostly sapwood), and I then added some thin scraps of Mesquite and Texas Ebony. All the woods are either very dense, oily, or both so I didn't really put a finish on it. MM'd it all the way out and applied some Mylands Cellulose Sanding Sealer, used the last 3 grades of MM again and applied TSW.

Pretty cool. I wish I could turn something.

I like it a lot!! [][] Not sure what it would have looked like before turning- don't suppose you took a picture of the blank before turning? It's a great match with the kit!

Thank you, Angela. I almost took a photo of the blank before turning, but I changed my mind. It basically looked like this on all four sides.

If that's not one of your better glueups, I would really like to see one of your "better" ones. Very nice job, I like it.[]

Quit being so modest, Billy. Terrific execution as usual. That is the first sierra I've seen that I actually like.
