>Turned a little chunk of the box elder I got a couple of weeks ago. Got some pretty color in it. It's a shame I couldn't get some larger blanks out of it.

>Carol,
Very nice shape; I think Art Liestman would approve (just saw his demo).
Re the lovely red color: I've been told it will fade to brown with time. I would enjoy hearing some comments on that, and if anything can be done to slow/stop the degradation (like UV protection?).
Keep up the good work,
Gary

>Gary, don't know if it will fade or not, but I am curious. I would suspect that it would fade faster if exposed to direct sunlight. Maybe I will take some scraps and do some experiments.

>Very nice Carol. I really like the clean lines and "simple" design. You have let the wood do the talking. Nice finish as well.
