    Ambrosia Maple HF

    This is the AM HF that Jeff, Keller, Peter, Tony, and I had a hand in together last weekend. It is 9" wide and 8" tall. Finished with 11 coats of WTF (sanded with 1500 every 3-4 coats), tripoli buffed, skipped the white diamond because I didn't want to fill all the little holes with white gunk, Renwaxed and buffed out. This is headed to the National Kidney Foundation for one of their silent auctions.

    Jim, I can't take credit for that... I did the all important tenon and then I did the finish and buffing. The rest of the guys did the outside.

    Nick, WTF is WoodTurner's Finish by General.

    Roger, whoever bids the highest! It will be auctioned off at a National Kindney Foundation of the National Capitol Area silent auction some time in the near future.

    Thanks, everyone. You are right, it is a great cause. I know a couple of people involved/working there. And I also know some that have "stake" in them. I'm hoping this raises some good money for the cause as well.

    Thanks, Tony. Sorry, I didn't get a Keaton finish on it, but I think it turned out okay...
