It's the few small beads that make all the difference. not the easiest of woods to add fine detail to on the lathe....beloved of carvers but inclined to tear and go fluffy for us, so this is a treat to see such fine beads.

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

Jason,

You've done well with that, I'm not a great lover or Lime as it's too soft a wood. The flame just above the ingrown bark has a great flash in it as well.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!

Having worked with lime you have done a great job of turning this piece. I like the beads to help break up quite a plain type of wood
