You keep fluking it - they are really nice and I love the Grain patterns you've managed to find.

I have some Pennyleak but haven't tried turning it yet.

I have turned both Raintree & QLD Maple.... the QLD Maple is much easier to get a good finish on, the Raintree is a bit of a challenge.

Good stuff. :2tsup:
