Stabilized Spalted something

[alamocdc]

From a Woodturningz grab bag on an Executive, CA finish.

Thanks for looking and feel free to comment.

Billy, I don't much care for the Executive kit (personal preference) but that blank is gorgeous[:0] Your fit and finish appear to be exceptional as well. Keep up the good work

That is smoking wood. A little bulbous on the shape for that kit in my opinion but it sure shows off the wood.

Thanks, guys! Shane, it really isn't as fat as it appears. This is the 2nd photo I've taken w/my new camera that has done this. It is only 3/32" bigger than the largest portion of the nib assembly. [?] In fact, it's no bigger than some of my modified SLs. []

That's beautiful! Great job!

great looking wood.

That looks an awful lot like some spalted pecan that I have.
I have to agree that the blank is a beaut, I'm just not yet sold on that kit.

Talk about a great piece of wood. Nice job on the finish!

A beautiful peice of wood and workmanship as well.

Great looking wood! I like it very much!!! Good finish too...not too crazy about the kit though.[]

"Me too" on the wood, your workmanship and great finish. [] The kit is another thang altogether. [V]

Thanks, all. This isn't my favorite kit either, but I like it much better than the Americana. I'm getting ready to order some of the new Sierras in hopes that they sell better. [:I] These sell... eventually.
