Bob Ouellette Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Very well done. How did you like that bubinga? I loved it ever since I began using it when my got a piece from my brother.

I rough it with a rasp and hand sanded. I for sure will use it again its one of my favorites Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Erwin Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I used waterfall figured bubinga on a segmented wood vase I made and liked it quite a bit, had a real nice coloring and figure. Bit different looking than yours, yours is more red. Beau Erwin www.ErwinKnives.com Custom knives Bcarta Composites Stabilized Woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
