Great work Joash.

Some time ago you mentioned about putting some work in an exhibition in the USA, how did that go.

[Gil Jones]

Joash, Good one :2tsup: love to see some of your 36k grit paper:U

Thanks for the comments:

I turned this piece, at Wandi Woodturners, and Mr. Ward was there, and he had these small sandpaper pads, he said they were 12K, 20K, 25K, and 36K: They honestly all felt like straight paper, but they managed to put a brilliant shine on the piece.

As for the last entrants, 2 of my pieces managed to make it into the top 10 in the last competition I entered, there was no First, Second etc:

Once again, thanks for the comments:
