    Maple HF

    Well took the week off this week and turned all week. I made this maple HF which is 7 1/2" tall and 5 1/2" across. It is finished with Minwax Antique Oil. I will buff it after it sits and dries a few day.

    Another beauty Bernie. BTW, it looks like if you buff that finish, it will be too slick to pick up!

    Thanks everyone. That was some of the first maple I have turned. It really was a joy to turn and finish. I may not buff that peice as it is pretty shiney as is.
