>Beautiful. The wood coloration and finish bring it together. I have a small piece of bloodwood I've tried turning but it is like a rock. I believe its very old if that makes a difference.

>The bloodwood is hard as woods goe but we do work with much harder species here. Just keep turning you will get it done. The barrel has no lining as here the people beleive in the curative powers of bloodwood mixed with any type of alcohol.

>Jim,
Around here, people believe in the curative powers of alcohol mixed with any sort of wood !
Beware those that believe in the curative powers of alcohol mixed with blood, however... ; )
Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.
