A Christmas present for our hairdresser. I thought it would be fun to do something funky for her, given her line of work. The CA finish came out OK, but not great. A coat of TSW after this pic helped make the finish shine more. The inconsistent purple color comes from the fact that I used EEE to heat it up, rather than heating it in the oven as I've done before. I kind of like the color changes, and after I started, I thought about next time trying for an "anodized" look, with a neat color variation from light to dark.
The joint was well hidden while turning, but the blanks stuck together (CA finish) and I had to part them, with a result that wasn't quite as nice as I had hoped. Still looks OK, but not as neat as it did on the lathe.
Comments/critiques/etc. are welcome, as always.
