This was an interesting one to turn. I really like the look of the blanks so I wasn't going to give up on it. It was pretty punky almost to the rotten point. A lot of CA cured that though.

Comments welcome as always, except the one about the rotten crotch.

Beautiful Kevin. I should have paid more attention at your finishing demo, cause i wish mine consistently looked as good as yours.
 
Thanks everyone for the kind comments.

The finish is kind of a cheat since I had to use so much CA to keep the blank together, it is almost like a stabilized blank. It did take more sanding than your average bear also, but yeah I am pretty happy with the finish.

It has been said that with enough CA, one could turn a flatulent. [:0]

Bahahahahaaaa!

Yes, very nice finish [8D] &lt;-- Shades intentional.

I wonder how a lighter kit would have worked? The black kind of pulls your eyes from the wood.
 
A lighter kit may have worked fine but I rarely use gold kits (or variations of the plating) and I thought the black would play off the spalt lines. What kit would you use?
You'll probably some variations of this in the future.
 
Maybe a black titanium or a platinum. Dont know that it would improve it, hard to tell until you see the thing put together. That or be handy with photoshop, lol
