Amboyna Burl Statesman

[drpelton]

OK, I officially have a new favorite wood to turn! I made a Statesman tonight (this one's for ME!) out of Amboyna Burl it got from CSUSA. What a joy to turn! It was like butter, and smelled great, too! I did discover that my mandrel is out of round, but the flaws are nearly invisible. The finish is a buffed white diamond/carnuba wax. Don't have a photo booth, so this time used my kitchen counter. I think the pictures turned out a little better - at least a little brighter! Thanks for any comments.

Thanks again for looking!

Amboyna Burl - have you tried it after it has been stabilized? Surprises await you!

Very nice job on your pen. Very nice indeed! []
