    Colour looks amazing . Is it timber ?
    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

    Very nice. I've only turned wood. Do you put any finish on this?

    Was it much different than turning wood? was it harder on your turning tools? It looks very nice
