Being new to this, today I turned my first "pricey" blank. It's an NFL bottle cap blank from Classic Nib on a Chrome/Satin Elegant Sierra kit from Exotic Blanks. I made this one for my wife; a die hard Denver fan.
My photography skills need some work. This is a lousy IPhone picture.
Congratulations on a successful turn Chris! Looks good. You can make a 100% improvement in your photography skills by putting a nice solid background in your picture. Another board or a piece of paper would work. No fuzzy towels
