BobHa! I'm calling NASA. Seems to me they were having a problem with a chipped tile on that shuttle thing. I've got their solution and they wouldn't even have to do a space walk! Just open window in front and let the air unroll...oops......anyway I'm calling NASA!Nice try Ken, but you failed to maintain a consistent texture.......keep practicing.I honed my Alumiburl texturing abilities in high school back in 1980, when my friends and I made our costumes for a Halloween festival KI$$ concert.

Beautiful work there Ken!!!! Looks like you and Pat have the "Stinson Original Finish" just about perfected.
Seems like I remember that the finish was first applied by Mark Cothren on a finished bowl that was given to Travis. So they both share in the popularity of the finish.
Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

Ken,
Don't tell anyone... but our crack (or is that crocked?) Bonkers-R-Us attorneys are working on your "newly stolen finishing technique" patent.

Is it just ME???Shiny. Very Shiny.
The finish is SO shiny, it's really hard to see the grain and/or figure in the wood...
While I admire the expertise involved, I am wondering if there is some way to leave the texture and reduce the shine, just a bit?

Ken, I like that you were able to preserve the delicate details around the top of the stopper.
What you listen to is your business....what you hear is ours.
