Ok folks really opening myself up for this one.
Its my first attempt at a little different turning, this was a square block labeled as "Tulipwood" which I was told was Magnolia?
I've since looked up Tulipwood and it was described as Poplar, this is not poplar!
anyway back to the turning, I used pretty much standard tools, Bowl Gauge, Flat Scraper, round end Scraper, Dovetail tool, on a Sorby SupaNova2 chuck
It's finished through the grits then with some of the white nylon stuff (the name of which I can never remember), friction polish, and hard liberion Wax
It hasn't finished as well as I hoped.
Hope you don't hate it too much
