    Dear Travis,
    I really don't like you anymore and I am selling all my tools.
    ps
    for sale asst. woodturning chisels, Delta 16" steel bed 1.5 horsey motor etc etc.

    Just kidding...another great work Travis and the beal buff is impressive, I might have to check into that once I get moved north to Wa state and all set up again.
    Take care and again really nice work,
    Tony

    Happy Turning

  6. That's a dandy! If you'd have said it had a finish applied I would have believed it. Impressive the way that wood shines up.

    Very elegant, I can't believe there's no finsh on it I'm working on a segmented piece with Bocote right now. I can only hope it looks close to that good. Again very nice.

    The form is great of course...but I like how the grain flows and wraps around....with those little spikes of figure to break up the flow a little bit. Nice job at putting nature on display Travis.

    Beautiful HF Travis. I ahve found several types of wood that I think need no finish. Olivewood, kingwood, cocobolo being some. I think I will experiment on more types now that i have the buffing system. Thanks for showing.

    You know, Travis, I'm still waiting for the day when you post a piece and I can say, "Yeah. It's OK, but heck, even I can do one like that." Outstanding, as always and no, I can't make the above statement! Well done, my friend! Beautiful.
    Cheers,

    They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I have beheld it.
