Hi All,
I ordered some Clemson Tiger blanks from Jonathon,akaBrooks803,on Saturday my postal carrier was kind enough to deliver them to me.The suspense was killing me,even though the unturned blanks looked spectacular,and I knew they were gonna be good.
I was able to epoxy up a set of tubes today and finished turning them this afternoon.
I am still sitting here just amazed at the blanks they are stunning!!
The blanks turned very easily,no chipping or brittleness at all.I used a carbide cutter with a 2" radius start to finish,turning between centers.I sanded with 400 grit and then wet sanded with Micromesh to 12000,followed by polishing with Novus2.
My pictures still need work to match the level of the blank.
Thanks again to Jonathon for the great blanks,I am excited to see the University of Michigan blanks I ordered earlier this week after working this one.Chances are it will turn better than the upcoming Big10 season.
