Well, it's actually stabilized sycamore, but everytime I would post a pic of the slabs o wood, people always said it looked like bacon... Kinda does

Lots more shaping and sanding to do, but it's pouring out and I'm bored

that is NICE! I may have to look more closely at sycamore..it looks much plainer in block form!
 
Mmmmmmm bacon. Yup definitely look like bacon. I want bacon. I am going to eat your machax.
 
That is a fine, fine, fine job. Just outstanding.:thumbup:

Mind you, I still enjoy my bog-standard Machaxes ... but yours ... FINE!
 
you have my address, i'm sure ;)

very nice...
 
Thanks guys! It doesn't seem to have the depth of my favorite type of wood ( redwood burl) but its very interesting and I can wait to see what it looks like polished up to 2000 or so

Beckers can be beautiful too:D:thumbup:
