George - I've turned very little Elm but what I have has been harder than most of the rocks up here! Great job on this! Classic form, beautiful wood and finish! Very nice work!

Sounds like a lot of work, i find sanding pretty boring to, atleast it was a great outcome, nice job.

Awesome figure and nicely shaped, George. I like the finish, too. I think the antique oil finish provides a really nice soft lustre.
