September 8, 20169 yr comment_72818 I finished the Bass wood ornament. Its OK, but I won't use it again. It did turn and sand easy, but It just isn't good turning wood. Especially delicate things. Report
September 8, 20169 yr comment_72820 Ron, is the bleeding of the colors on purpose? If so, I love it! Well heck, if not, I love it still! Report
September 8, 20169 yr comment_72821 Bass wood is really soft, isn't it? I'll bet it's frustrating to turn. That ornament turned out nice, though. Won't weigh down the tree bough, either. Report

September 8, 20169 yr Author comment_72832 Yes the bleeding is on purpose. I am experimenting with that on my pieces. Still not down pat. I wiped this one off a couple of times. Here are a couple more experiments Report
September 8, 20169 yr comment_72852 I think the white of the bright white of the Basswood would be great for ornaments. To bad it doesn't turn well. Good looking ornament you got out of it though. Report
