I was about to ask about the enhancement when I saw the chatter work. Very cool. And then I looked at your close-up and saw the stimple work on the stem. Cool! Nice work all the way around. 8-)
Thanks all for the kind compliments. Anyways, the wood is cherry, and I used natural Watco danish oil. Put it on the Beall buff and then 2 coats of Bri Wax.
