The first one is Karls Earth cast Simbawa , both are Fat Cigars from Ernie at Bear Tooth Woods . The second nightmare , is Spalted Live Oak from Bruce Egolf . Thanks Ernie & Bruce ! My first time turning both of these blanks ! Comments & critiques solicited . Thanks for looking ! [8D]

Wow, Chuck! Looks like you got a great finish on both of them! Nice Pics, too! Excellent work my friend!

Thanks Karl ! If I had your phone number , you would have gotten a call ! I didn't know how to finish that Earthcast . SO , there is no CA on it . I also painted the blank white ![)] What was I thinking ?? I wasn't ! SORRY Karl . I'll just have to buy another blank . I really love the pattern . [8D]

I like the white on the inside of the blank! I usually use a dark blue paint on mine, but the white looks cool, too! I usually turn the Hybrid stuff a little smaller than the bushings and then just put a thick coat of CA on. That way you can buff it without going through. It looks great, though!

Man that earth cast is awesome. Great job matching up the patterns. Nice job on the Oak too. My fave is the earth cast. Just awesome.

Both of these look great, and your photos are really coming along too. The first is just a wee bit out of focus in the extremities, which would go away if it was more parallel to the back of the camera. Color and exposure are good.

Gotta love Karl's blanks.
