First try with Bocote!

[paul ashman]

Picked up a Bocote blank at Woodcraft in Clearwater, FL a while back and finally got round (little pun there) to doing something with it. Just a little wax and buffing, the wood does not need any help!

I've turned both bottlestoppers and pens from bocote but never something that big. Nicely done Paul.

[Richard Madison]

That's VERY pretty. What size is it , please?

[paul ashman]

The size is 5" diameter by about 2" tall.

Bocote is one of my favorites for "exotics" to turn. You can see why when you look at this piece...beautiful stuff!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Beautiful piece Paul! Amazing wood!!

[Bernie Weishapl]

That is a beauty. Beautiful wood. Love turning that stuff.

[Brett Baldwin]

I'd have to agree that the wood doesn't need any help except exposure. Nice job.

[Bill Wyko]

Nice job. Don't you just love that stuff. It cuts like butter.:)

[Tom Sherman]

Real nice piece Paul
