Not sure whether this point/ question deserves a thread but: My dad who was a mechanical engineer by trade always said to me, "get the best tools that you can afford". Me, as a sales person, didn't really pay it much attention. I brought a cheap tap and die set and have been 'blowing' the...

I am not sure where this came from but I have a couple of pieces of this and this is the first to be turned. I tried to keep the form simple to show off the wood. A nice simple finish of sander sealer and beeswax which I brought off of a local beekeeper who mixes it with a hard wax possibly...
