Well took the week off this week and turned all week. I made this maple HF which is 7 1/2" tall and 5 1/2" across. It is finished with Minwax Antique Oil. I will buff it after it sits and dries a few day.

Another beauty Bernie. BTW, it looks like if you buff that finish, it will be too slick to pick up!

Thanks everyone. That was some of the first maple I have turned. It really was a joy to turn and finish. I may not buff that peice as it is pretty shiney as is.

Thanks again. I have already contacted Patty and told her to make sure she e-mails me when she gets more pieces like that. I really like turning maple. The finish on this one is the best I have ever finished anything. I sanded it to 600 and it was smooth as glass.
