Lemonwood Very Pretty

[Band Saw Box]

Lemonwood is very pretty, someone sent me the blank a while ago and I got around to turning it this morning. It turns well and takes a nice finish. I sanded to 4000 Abralon and finished with WFT. The kit is a Baron II from timberbits. All C&C are welcome.

Sometimes less is more!

Very clean, neat appearance, and the wood is very attractive with its uniform color.

I LIKE IT!

(PS: Hope all is progressing well :wink.

Great. Now I'm going to have to deal with Peter, Paul, and Mary in my head for the rest of the day.

Except it was ... Lemon tree, very pretty. The wood could been hideous!

But hey, it was the 60's so I'm sure they probably smoked it either way!

I have to agree that sometimes less is more and this is one of those times. Very nice indeed.

Thanks a lot Mike for your comment. I was going to do a custom finial but I think it would have detracted from the look.

I've turned a few pieces of Lemon. It's terrific to work with and looks like antique ivory. Nice work!
