Claude,
That sir is a substantial piece of wood turning, very well done. :2tsup:
The Bubinga is not too dissimilar to the New Zealand Rimu

You're right about the grain LaTruc' - very impressive - seems a shame to cover it in nuts!:2tsup:
(Could follow that with a good line about Anna Nicole's face but I won't go there!) :;:o
