Sometimes I See Something else

[Graydog]

I posted a few pics of this before and it was
nice but I new it had more than it was showing so I didn't finish it and just put it on my bench and left it alone for a couple of weeks. Today I was doing something else and I looked over at my bench and knew it was time , it already had a few coats of CA on it
But I had a idea I put it back on my lathe and reshaped it. The grain is special and I wanted to make sure I brought it out.
Pictures do not do it justice the way it changes in the light , the way it pops when you spin it . The Grain is what makes it for me
I have made a few from this tree that I really like but this one is right at the top of my list.
This one is going to be in the Sue Charity Auction. So I ask you guys to pick a knot
It is drilled for a 26mm knot.

Oooh.
Smashing...again.
Love those lines.

Gorgeous. I agree the color of that one is the top of the ones you have done.

I say it should have a two band knot in it.

 

[FarmerTan]

Wow. Almost appears to be a laminate! Yeah, I think it would look nicer in Badger. But either will sell!

Another beauty, Steve.

That looks amazing. Can you auction it with buyers choice of knot?

I did that a couple of years ago, I left the knot loose.

+1! Lovely handle and a great idea for the knot!

Beautiful brush handle. Badger got my vote.

So we have 11 to 1 badger so far.

Which do you think would be better?

 

[Graydog]

I voted for the badger.

 

[Graydog]

I will post a picture of it when I finish it tomorrow with a knot in it

 

[FarmerTan]

Cool.

Off the lathe

I'd like to see a video of that rotating in good light. It would probably up the final bid in the auction considerably too.

Outstanding job Steve! The finish may be your best yet, it looks like glass.

I will see what I can do.

Thanks Jay, it feels like glass too.
