This is my first gator (and first SOYP, but who's counting?) I put off trying gator because of the fear factor and high cost of failure. After seeing Tom Barron turn one at our North Texas pen meeting, I thought, I can do that... Tom's Mangrove Red seems to have this crazy glow in the center of the teeth sockets which makes it look internally lit. Probably didn't get there in my photos, but this thing looks battery powered in person! I was thinking of Retro or Gent hardware, but when I saw the finished result, I upgraded to non-posting Jr. Statesman
No problems drilling (just kept the bit cool for safety) or turning (stopped frequently for CA bath). Definitely going to do more of these!
I hope you like it -- all C&C are welcome.
