Howdy,
following the post of gucci blanks (the post is here), I tried turning a Churchill:
[ATTACH]20139[/ATTACH]
The swirl is very light, and i like it, but it don't show in the picture taken with the Iphone (the reflex is mounted under my drone, and is too much a hassle to take it down )
Here is a detail

I started to use epoxy for gluing the tubes, this way i can color the epoxy with a powdered die and and I paint the tube in the blank's base color.
The bad thing is that you need to glue the tube the day before, but for me is not a problem at all.

Cheers
Francesco
