Bangles and a mill

[kyaggie]

Spring weather has arrived so I ventured into the bangle world using supplies from www.bangleguy.com and had a lot of fun turning these bangles (amboyna burl, aspen burl and black ash burl respectively) set on stainless steel. I wish I had a better photo setup to accurately capture the high gloss, glass-like CA finish.

Also, here's a Crushgrind spalted pecan mill.

Very Nice - what finish did you use on the mill. That pecan is sweet!

Thanks for the nice comments... I'm really happy with how these turned out.

Barry, the finish on the mill is 5 coats of Pens Plus and then a coat of Walnut Oil Microcrystal Wax both from Doctor's Woodshop. It's a nice finish that goes on very well on the lathe giving the wood a soft shine that still lets you know that you're holding a piece of wood.

Take care,
Mike
