AKA Aguacate that was in the box of blanks from Scott (SDB777).
Thanks Scott, this Aguacate is great timber to turn and finish!
Dressed up in a Titanium Gold/Platinum Elegant Beauty.
Sanded to 400x, burnished with the wood shavings, buffed with
Ultrafine Steel Wool and applied 6 coats of MINWAX Clear Gloss Polyurethane.
