    Brown Malee burl NE

    I've has this blank sitting around a year or so, finally got around to it this weekend. This wood was very hard, but finished up nicely. Sanded to 800 grit, light coat of Watco then buffed. Polished up like glass. 5" across by around 3" tall.

    Never had the opportunity to turn that wood, Travis. So you are one up on me. Shoot, I would never do it as much justice as this piece. Wonderful!

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Awesome, as to be expected from you, Travis! Love the form! Man, the NE on that piece looks as though it could easily take more than just a bit of skin off if not careful! Great job.
    Cheers,

    That is really nice, REALLY NICE...........

    Why don't you go back to racing motorcycles for a year or two, that would give all of us a chance (just a chance) of catching up

    Super Duper piece.

    Cheers!

    WOW, that's great! I have a couple of fairly big malee blanks waiting for some inspiration but, maybe your piece is just that inspiration.
