I forgot to mention that this piece was finished with black lacquer.

Very nice shape of this piece. The finish is unsual, but gives the piece a sense of Greecian influence. Very good, sir. 8)

Good form, and nicely chiseled flutes.
Where did you acquire the needle scaler, and is it electric or pneumatic?

The needle scaler is pneumatic. I forgot what site, but I got it from the internet. Was about $39 and included the air hammer. It was less than half the cost of the others i looked at.

Thanks jprosise, I think it is Northern Tool http://www.northerntool.com
Just go there, and search for "needle scaler". I would put in the exact URL but it will change the size of this page.
