Hi all,

This is the first time I had turned Paduk. It took me two goes having taken the first effort down to brass. The lesson I learnt was that it is a must
to wipe down the wood before and between each sandings. Dust was caught in the wide grain and effectively ruined a blank.
Anyway, this is the result. I treatred myself to to tin of Hampshire Sheen. Lovely stuff.

The photographs don't really show the shine properly, but I like this one.
