I've been getting a bit bored with same old acrylics from the likes of Axminster that I decided I would try something a bit special so I bought 2 or 3 Conway Stewart blanks from Vinnie. This one is called Flecked Autumn. Really nice to turn however I had 3 voids appear after I'd turned it down that had to be filled with CA, might have been air bubbles. Shame about that but they're not really noticeable if you didn't know they were there. Sanded to 800 grit then polished with an auto paint scratch remover.

[QUOTE="rayf6604, post: 157785, member: 482"] I've been getting a bit bored with same old acrylics from the likes of Axminster that I decided I would try something a bit special so I bought 2 or 3 Conway Stewart blanks from Vinnie. This one is called Flecked Autumn. Really nice to turn however I had 3 voids appear after I'd turned it down that had to be filled with CA, might have been air bubbles. Shame about that but they're not really noticeable if you didn't know they were there. Sanded to 800 grit then polished with an auto paint scratch remover.
