Many of you may remember a listing of synthetic (I think) Truestone blanks about a week ago. I bought them largely because of the 6 Aggie (Texas A&M for the unknowing) colored blanks... two nieces are alumni and one is currently attending and they will make nice gifts for them. Anyway I turned one of the synths today so I thought I'd post it. She said she thought this was Banded Malachite. I have no way of knowing, but here it is. Please forgive the small specks of lint I missed. Should have left my trifocals on.[:I]
As always, criticism is welcome.
I'll add that this was the first time I've turned anything like this and still haven't tried Truestone, so I have no idea how it may compare. I found this to be about as hard as Inlace Acrylester (had to sharpen the skews between halves), but nowhere near as brittle. Nice stuff... I like it.
