ambrosia maple hollow form...

[Russell Eaton]

This is a piece I showed last night at the GAW meeting. I was a little nervous turning and finishing in front of 60+ turners, all with a lot more time at the lathe than me. I spent several hours on the finish alone, it is not perfect, but does show the possibility for this as a finish. It is sanded to 600 grit and then pollished with the satin and gloss polish.cimments are welcome. Russell

Don't know about anyone else, but I like it.

[John Keeton]

Russell, looks very nice, and a very nice chunk of Ambrosia, as well! Glad the demo went well.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Gotta say that is a nice piece. Really nice ambrosia and the finish looks good.

[Michelle Rich]

GREAT JOB!!! very lovely vessel

[Jamie Donaldson]

You obviously have achieved a nice finish, but what did you use for finish?

[Russell Eaton]

Stickfast ca finish glue. Sorry I should have mentioned that.

Stickfast ca finish glue. Sorry I should have mentioned that.

The "new" formulation, right?

[Russell Eaton]

Yes Steve. It took a good amount of it, but it sure is slick.

[Kaptan J.W. Meek]

Really nice form.. I wonder what some Minwax "natural" stain would have done for it.. a little more grain pop maybe?.. still, NICE piece.

[John W Dixon]

Looks really nice and I love the ambrosia.

Good looking vase Russell! I really like the finish in that it did not yellow the wood! I will have to check it out!
