turntex

I thought I'd share a thing I recently tried. I used a food vacuum saver device, a jar, and some Minwax Wood Hardener to attempt to stabilize some buckeye burl. I wasn't sure how it would turn out compared to wood that had been stabilized using cactus juice but I was looking for a cheaper way...

I bought a few blanks from TurnTex "MesquiteMan" at MAPG last year. Been overly busy with other stuff and decided to dig them out. Here is my first one... Spalted Texas Pecan. Looking forward to playing with more of these and perhaps picking up a few more this year. CtL
