Spalted Beech and Anjan lidded form

Welcome. Nice looking turning. I had never heard of Anjan wood and I had to look it up. How is it for turning?

It is lovely to turn. quite hard and cuts to a good finish straight off of the tool. It is close grained so takes an excelent finish. I normall go through the grits and finish on 800 or 1000 with it, then seal with sanding sealer and finish with cannuba wax.

Thank you very much for your comments. Wow I logged back in to be greeted by the picture of this piece as the POD!.

I am very priviledged by this.

In answer, Yes Charlie bamboo grows quite well over here I think it is all the rain !! Thanks

Angelo Thank you. I try with all of my pieces to make the base as small/fine as possible so that you can not really see it and so the form just seems to blend all the way round. Some times I manage it some times not.

KurtB Thank you it's quite nice over here except it has rain all summer, well it appears that way at least.

Thanks again all

Take care
