    Default half a burl, half a myrtle

    Hi guys ,
    Put this blank on the lathe today , started to turn
    it and noticed it was half a burl and half a myrtle
    blank, not sure if you can see from the photos
    but it should turn out to be an interesting piece !
    can, t remember where it came from now, any
    way watch this space and see what happens.
    I have since wet sanded it to 800 grit and then
    EEE and glow on the outside and it is shining!!!!!!!
    Thanks for looking !

    Should be very nice. Myrtle can be a bit boring otherwise.

    Hoping It will be nice when it, s finished, the plain timber
    Is a pinkish colour and the burl part is a rich dark red
    so hopefully it will come out good

    Thanks for your comments guys!
    Cheers smiife
