Amboyna Jr. Retro

[toolcrazy]

I haven't turned Amboyna Burl in a long time. This is one of the pieces I got from Rodney a long time ago. I really like the mix with the copper hardware.

I've also changed my picture taking technique. Let me know what you think. Still making adjustments. I've got the white balance dialed, may need to adjust the exposure a bit.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

That was my thought too, but if I increase the exposure even a 1/3 of a stop, it starts washing out the grain. But I found this to be true on a lot of the darker grain woods.

Some updated pictures. Tried to lighten them a bit without washing out the grain.
