Nice. I like the look of the box elder you have.
Box Elder is a very interesting looking wood!
I made one a few years ago kinda had that shape

I like it. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the walnut slab that is under that maple handle.
I am really loving this Walnut that @Lightcs1776 sent Me

Yeah that is nice. I have so much walnut scrap wood that isn't big enough to turn a handle without laminating it first.

That figure is so cool.
Looks beautiful. It is always great to see what is inside the wood as it turns.

Love the color in the wood. You really brought out the red streaks.

Awesome. I will have to give that a shot. I did think in looked slightly more porous than the walnut I have used. Now I know why.
Question answered before I could ask it.
What CA finish are you guys using.
Dose it go on better than others. I find I have to do several layers and quite a bit of sanding to get a good result with Stick Fast medium CA. I'd like to find something a little easier to work with.
Here are several of my brush handles. Every one turns out different for me.
I have always used the Stick Fast Thin and for me it works better than the medium , @Hyloworks told me about a
Stick Fast 240 CA Wood Finish, 4.6 oz Capacity, Thin and another one called Flexible. I purchased the one for wood and that is what I am trying on that Box Elder handle for the first time
Do you want to see my very first attempts at turning ?
