Tortoise
Member
This Alternate Jade is a gorgeous material. I can't photograph it properly, but it looks like real stone. It was also difficult to turn. The Alternate Tortoise was much easier to turn. I made about 4 sections before I had one I liked, and even made a slightly smaller pen with a more curved cap to keep for myself. Comments, observations, suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I need all the help I can get! Thanks.
