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

great choice of timber, luck? Nah, just good orientation.

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.

If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.
