You have been busy. Any chance of a WIP next time?

They are absolutely stunning - fabulously made - I agree about a wip! Favourite woods for me are the bubinga - could imagine a glorious old Windsor chair in that, paduk - so warm, and the Indian rosewood I could almost catch a whiff of incense from an old armoire ... cocobolo is extraordinary but almost seems schizophrenic! Though one rather reminded me of Mick Jagger's lips! Thank you for sharing. 8)

very exotic species....not going to bump into them down the local Bluebell woods! Lovely work.

I had a identical fail like your Palm wood one, so I made these for the wife from the bits.

Very nice. There is some beautiful figuring on some of those.

Do you flood the wood with some sort of oil or wax before filling them with your wax?

Andy

3 coats of sealer to the inside to stop transfer from wax to wood or vice versa .

Thanks, I also notice that you turn them cross grain and not the usual end grain used with boxes, any special reason, other than availability of wood?
