Just prior to Christmas I placed an order with Ankrom Exotics for some of their "Burls and Swirls" blanks. The turning was straightforward, but the finishing was a challenge. I couldn't seem to get the same level of sheen on both the burl and the Alumilite. Plus, the wood dust seemed to scratch the Alumilite as I sanded. After much hand-polishing off-lathe, the final results were quite nice. Thanks to Pat and Lynn at Ankrom for supplying such beautiful materials.:good:
