Mai Kair Navigator

[rsmith]

This is a piece of Mai Kair that I picked up locally from a great wood supplier here in town. He seems to find some interesting stuff, and thankfully there aren't a huge amount of turners here in Frederick, his turning stock is always in abundance:wink: It is impossible to photograph, but it has a very deep chatoyance that rivals a nice piece of Koa. Beautiful green and gold tones that shift in the light, and the effect is as if you are looking INTO the wood. It is dressing a Sterling Navigator and is finished with Mylands friction finish. This is more for personal use, and I personally prefer the feel of the wood over CA or Laquer. Just my own preference...
Thanks for looking and especially to those who care to comment, positive or negative.

The grain looks great in the photo, I bet it is stunning in person.
