Dead Finish or archidendropsis basaltica
This timber can be very hard and on occaision loaded with Silica. One piece I had 4x6, a small vase gave the Thomson gouge a real hard time. This piece courtesy of TTIT aka Vern of Emerald.
.
In this case not so bad, flat spirals, 7"x3.5" finished at the moment with a couple of coats of WOP gloss and satin. I'm contempalting giving it a few more coats of gloss then buffing to reduce or dial back the gloss.
Its a very pretty timber with great colour, takes a shine you wouldnt believe. Turned this sideways to give a contrast with the Sap and Heart and the flat spiral really brings this out well.

Keep your eye out for the November prize draw, if all goes to plan there will be 3Kgs of that stuff as the prize.

Very nicely done Hughie
I reckon you'd get the same finish you're after with a few coats of DO and a buffing - just sayin' 
How come everyone else gets time to turn more of my wood than I do

Hughie,
A fantastic piece as always, I've been captivated by your lands Dead Finish since I first saw it in this forum. It looks fantastic.
If 'IF' I won - what would that cost to post to the UK? or could a friend bring it through customs?
