Still Getting The Hang of It

[VirgilJ]

This is an Apprentice Jr Gent. The wood is another fugitive from my drawer of mystery wood. It's a little more golden then the picture shows. When I started turning it was kind of green. Sort of the color of the present a bay gives you after you feed them ajar of strained peas. I figured for sure this one was going to hit the trash, but it actually turned out not too bad.

I think I'm starting to get my finishing under control. It's starting to look pretty presentable.

Your description sounds as though the wood may be lignum vitae . The pen may return to green with time .

Great Job, Fit & finish are spot on!

Love the composition of your photo, may get some comments about the Elephant but no matter. IMHO it shows artistry.

I Really like it.

The elephant is an old friend. I'm getting older now so he does most of the heavy lifting for me. I'll admit it's difficult to get these micro elephants to hold still long enough to get a decent picture!!!
