Back to the wood, well this time it's rare wood.

I have turned this in Cocobolo Burl, this is as rare as rocking horse pooh, it's a difficult wood to turn but has such a beautiful finish as you can see from the dolls house trinket box above.
I couldn't avoid the camera flare due to the high gloss finish I obtained.
Again this is the same wood as above, I only have a small amount of this and shall be very careful how I use it, whatever I turn now, most of the turnings will be at the Midland Fair, this is in Droitwich on November 20th.
