Very nice HF's Chris, do they sell well at craft shows?

Epoxy and mineral powders are an option. For large voids and inclusions use Resin mixed with your choice of colored powder dyes.
Very nice John

I also bought two CBN wheels from Ken, a 180 and 350 grit. Very well pleased with the wheels , don't know why I didn't buy the sooner than later.

Very nice piece Bruce, well done indeed!
I get my Watco Danish Oil at Ace HW. Much cheaper than at woodworking supply stores. Don't know why the higher cost, same ingredient.
Steve.... I agree with Gary's reply. At some point you will probably won't to turn something larger and the Nova would handle it.
