Molten Metal Sierra

[emackrell]

I tried one of the new Molten Metal inlace blanks from Woodturningz (part of the recent group buy) in a Sierra and really like it. The inlace turns very easily and finishes beautifully. That's a really nice blank, esp with the black Ti kits. As ever, comments welcome.

Jim, thanks, I turned it with a very sharp skew and had no problems. Light cuts as you would expect. Finishing was a snap -- just wet sand through all the MM (I used the little square pads) and then EEE and plastic polish. The acrylic takes a very nice shine.

Very nicely done Eileen! Nifty blank, too. Hope to see it in person some time soon. Actually, I hope NOT to see it in person - I hope it sells before we get a chance to get together! []
