Thank you all for you comments and feedback on finishes.. I thought the gun metal ones would be the least favorite but they came to be the most favorite!!. I hope that is so at the show next Saturday!!. I had this one piece of the ironwood and it had several crack I had to work around. One still split in half when drilling and Titebond 3 saved it. One had section blow off in the lathe and Titebond 3 saved it too! Those cracks ran where I could not see them but all were salvaged and that real hard wood buffs up to the best sheen!...............Cheers, Jim
