I got this blank from Curtis (mesquiteman) who prefers to turn nothing but Texas woods. I had to look up the word escarpment and now know why he named it. The blank cast with blue aluminite and is very dense. I had to sharpen my tools more than once to turn it. I got the Jr Statesman from the good folks at http://www.exoticblanks.com I find that their service is way above the bar. polished to 12mm then eee finish, ren wax to shine. Viola!
