Thanks for looking;)
I turned this today, apologies on the photo quality, it is very big, and was going to cause me to make modifications to my photo studio, so....
The finish is a perfect satin finish, but the photography has shot it right off:mad:
I still have a little work to do on the back....to remove the marks left by the chuck jaws.
I thought for this one, I would go over the top with details, for something different. I recorded every little detail, and here they are:rolleyes::cool:
