    Great color, great wood, great shape. Have to agree with John on the gunstock look on a beautiful piece of wood.

    Justin- I regularly use cheap ol' rubbing alcohol with TransTints rather than H2O so I don't have to sand back the raised grain, and the alcohol dries much faster.

    Thanks. Reading the options, that seemed like the prudent choice to me as well.

    The curl sure catches the attention, then my eyes slowly scan that oh so well executed edge.

    Very nice Kentucky Koa! Beautiful bowl form and a great "warm" coloration, the grain really pops!

    I'm speechless Jamie, which has hardly ever been the case. It doesn't get any better!
