Burl Maple Contender
« on: March 02, 2011, 02:09:57 AM »
I made this set for myself from some decent Burl Maple. This is how it looks after only one hand rubbed oil. It will get 3 to 4 more rubbings.





It looked like this before putting on a gold dye and then hand rubbed oil.

That's one sweet piece of wood Dave. Err, I guess I should say two pieces.

David, I see that you also have one of the ugly "smiling couger" frames. Let's see some of that pretty wood cover it up(like I showed you). Love your wood selection. Where do you get it(address)?   Pat
