A Classic Elite 2 with Gun Metal & 24kt Gold accents in Buckeye Burl. I love the intricate veining and knots. This model was one of seven commissioned by a local attorney for Christmas gifts. Enjoy!
Buckeye burl is one of my favorite of all woods to work with. It is my best seller, hands down. Sometimes it takes a little CA filling of the knots as you go but the result is spectacular. I love the infinite shades of browns and grays and I've even had some that turn out greenish without dying. It finishes with a depth that is every bit as good as any acrylic and it looks different depending on what light you view it with.
Actually, it is almost like glass. The picture doesn't do the luster justice. I seal all grain with thin CA followed by 8 coats of gloss lacquer applied via a squeegee.
