Haven't posted a lot of my turningz lately, but I figured it was time to share one!
Having made just a few of these blanks, I finally got around to making one almost worthy to be viewed....is it perfect, probably not? But it'll be sold before I get to work(got to stop at the USPS place this morning to mail some stuff, it won't come out of there)
Painted the tubes white with rattle can Fusion, applied stamps and used two(2) coats ModPodge to seal them and then cast in clear PR.
Squared the ends, applied some thinCA to keep the water during the wetsanding from getting under the acrylic.
Turned between centers, while constantly checking with the calipers for that magical number.
Sanded 400 and 800 grit wet, then used all the pretty colored pads to 12K(also wet).
Final step before assembly, PlastixPolish.....
And here's the result!

Any comments would be greatly appreciated, but critiques are better for me to learn from! Thanks for looking!!!
