I had these barrels glued up for months and finally got around to turning them.
I knew the YBB had a lot of voids and cracks in it so was wanting to try rubbing mica pearl pigments into the voids and then seal in with super glue.
Lately I have been experimenting with changing the centerbands on Cigar pens, and wanted to do that with this one. Since it was already faced for the standard centerband, I added one made from some left over TruStone turquoise from the cut-offs box. One layer of the turquoise wasn't thick enough, so a layer of walnut separates two layers (a plastic such as pick guard would have been better, but I didn't have any).
Anyway - creative? Yes. Beautiful? You tell me... It's good enough I'll put it on the table at shows this fall.
Thanks for looking - comments and criticisms welcomed.
