Black Palm HF

We just returned home Sunday afternoon after a week in Colorado visiting my Daughter, SIL and five Grandsons. Had a great time but couldn't wait to get in the shop. I got this Black Palm blank at Woodcraft in Colorado Springs. It measures 3-3/4" dia. x 4-1/2" tall with ebony finial, inset and bun foot. I asked my daughter to go back and get any of these blanks they had left. They had two.

I was told that this flakes and slivers bad.....at my local store.
How'd yours work out?

Great job with a difficult piece of wood. I say bad words every time I turn this stuff, but it never fails to please in the end.

very nice, Keith, how do you decide which style of finial you use??????

Very nice.....good form with the perfect finial!! I use my metric 80 and 100 grit gouges on the outside of this wood....helps with the usual problems. All in all, it is always worth the effort, as it is a very striking wood.
