I make custom wood objects to keep me on my toes and to be nice. Never know what they will want and each is usually a "one-off" so no production jigs here.
Finished with two coats of General Finish Wood Turners Finish and buffed on a Beale Buff.
Really nice. I agree that making custom items is very cool. I really like doing it becasue it makes me think through the process and figure it out. I like the challenge.
