Well got a little turning time between honey-do's. Turned this walnut HF. It is 10 1/2" X 4". Finished with GF Woodturners finish. Hasn't been buffed yet. My wife had some friends over yesterday and one of her friends bought it. I told her she could pick it up next week after it has dried a few days and buffed.

That is some great figure in the walnut, and the form shows it off well! I would have preferred a more subtle neck, but obviously your customer had no such qualms. Congrats on the quick sale.

Thanks to all. I really like the woodturners finish as it does let the wood talk. I think it and lacquer let the wood shine the best. I just wish that wood had more of the feathering. I have to get up early and get turning as one of the other ladies that was over called the wife and wants one.

Thanks John. It is a clear finish that shows the grain nicely and is easily applied.

That's awfully pretty Bernie! That shape had to be a tough one to hollow. Really some nice looking walnut.
