Default Ironwood

Thanks again Mac,those are really nice pieces of art.
Do you use any finish? I did some pens and buffed them using beeswax and
they look pretty good but I was wondering if you sealed them with anything
or just used the natural oils to seal them.

outside,wormholes,ect. but inside its beautiful.
Those pieces on your site are quite impressive.
Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks...
I find that the fun with ironwood is USING the holes and cracks..

Just turned a fairly conventional bowl, but used a huge hole that went
through
the wood..
The hole going through the bowl are what makes the piece attractive, IMO..

I just threw some quick pictures up for you:
