    I think they look great so far - I'd certainly be interested in purchasing one if you pursue production.......

    This is the 3rd time I've tried to reply to this and I keep losing my post.

    Readers digest version is to look at my attached picture. By spinning down to a 1/2" dowel, you can sand the bottom and sides in the drill press up to 400 grit with no cross grain scratches. Then seal it with your finish (many coats) put it back on the drill press and buff it to a high gloss. Cut the dowel off with a coping saw while spinning slowly and you end up with and automatic center for you forstner bit. The inside of the hole gets sealed up with epoxy or in my case I use Plumbers GOOP.

    I'll post some more pictures of some bowls and brushes I just recently done in another thread.

    Nice photo stand. I trade you a nice cigar box for it and its contents.
