Thread: More of the Seaside Mahoe

    More of the Seaside Mahoe

    Here is what I got out of the rest of the small piece of Seaside Mahoe from Key West. These are 6 inches in diameter. Two bowls and a plate. Just buffed with the Beall system without the carnauba wax.

    It looks so similar to cocobolo, which also does not need wax to get that kind of smooth shine. You did a fine job of using the piece available to make 5 nice turnings. Beautiful.

    My wife and I had words, but I didn't get to use mine.

    The left most piece has fantastic color variations and the finish shows it off well.
