I received blanks from Darick (Olivewood) and Reed (Desert ironwood); had to try them
tonight. Something I did with them I've never done before, CA finish.
The ironwood finished really nice, the olivewood pretty good but not much better than
had I simply oiled and waxed. I'll need to practice. Good thing I got a bunch of olivewood!
Olivewood turns really easy; I had to be careful with the Ironwood 'cause I drilled
too fast and started splitting the blank. A little CA, turn, a little CA, turn, repeat,
and we're good to go.
I need to work on my picture taking skills; these look much better in reality than
in photos.
Got a couple of cigar kits so hopefully this week, I can try something else new.
