Finally decided to take the plunge from wood to acrylic. Bought these about 1 1/2 yrs ago but wasn't sure on making them. Colour of blank was blue, black, green and small bits of white. But other colours must have been at top as quite a lot became white......

Like wood, you don't always know what your going to get till its turned. You can change the colour slightly if you paint the hole different colours, especially white or black on the more translucent blanks....
Nice shape and finish, well done :thumbs: :thumbs:
