September 8, 20169 yr 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.
September 8, 20169 yr Ron, is the bleeding of the colors on purpose? If so, I love it! Well heck, if not, I love it still!
September 8, 20169 yr 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.

September 8, 20169 yr Author 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
September 8, 20169 yr 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.
