I've been wanting to find time to turn this blank for a while now. Painted the tubes, reverse painted the blank. Tube all glued in. All of this was done a while back. Finally got out to the shop at noon & decided to work on it. Everything going good, turning down smooth. Started to work on the nib end & bam, grabbed too much blank. Nice 1/2" chunk decided to go elsewhere. After inspecting the damage, started to clean it up. Started looking for something to blend in with this watermelon colored blank. Cut offs everywhere & couldn't find anything that I was satisfied with. So I decided to just grab a nice dark cutoff & make a loud contrast between the two pieces. C & C always welcome.
