I finished a small vase I started on my Jet lathe with the Rikon, today. I left it on the lathe to show:
1. I did get the new Rikon lathe dirty!:D
2. So I wouldn't have to put a "dime" in the picture.:p
The wood is from a limb I got. Can't say what it is, don't know. Insect larva had been to it and left trails. I decided not to fill them. Kind of like the way it turned out.
Usual finish.....................Wiped down with Butcherblock oil to heighten the grain and 5 coats of French Polish.
Thanks for lookin'
