    Default Purple/White-Brown Mallee Hybrid handle.

    Just finished turning a handle for a fellow member here. This is a Christmas gift for his wife. I turned it from a hybrid blank, pretty typical of most you see out there. This blank I bought off the classifieds here a while back, can't remember who i bought them from tho. The last hybrid handle I turned I sanded up to 2500 grit, and then buffed it on the buffing wheels. One thing I didn't like about that finish was, although the Alumilite (Plastic) part looked really good, the wood was kinda dull with no real dimension. This time around I decided to sand only to 1000 grit, and then applied a coat of Linseed oil to really pop the wood. My plan was to apply 3 coats of linseed oil every 2 days, and then buff after the third coat. What I didn't expect is how much I like the way it looks in it's current state. It has a nice satin look to it.

    What do you guys think of it???? Opinions please.
