A small Bacote HF with an Ebong Collar. Measures 4-1/2" dia. x 2-3/4" tall. Finished with antique oil and beall buffed. A little more full bodied form than usual. Comments/critiques always welcome. Thanks for looking.

Outstanding Keith!
Can you go into a little more detail on your finishing method.
1) How many coats of Antique oil.
2) How long between coats
3) How long are you waiting before you beal buff
4) Are you using all three media's to buff


Hope you don't mind all of the questions. Your finishes are just,,, outstanding!

Not to beat the dead horse, but I like the collar too! I'm not usually a fan of collars, but I like how the ebony balances with the dark grain in the body.
