I have been working on this Black Palm trumpet for a few weeks now, 1st one I have turned, boy was this thing a challenge to keep together. I think this was the toughest piece of wood I have turned, required multiple stabilization adventures along the way.....sure is pretty wood though.

1st picture is in the sun, 2nd in the shade.




Take care....Greg

That's awesome Gregg
Appreciate it PerryT.....This stuff looks and sounds great, but it is a pain in the rear to work with.

That looks great, I don't think I have ever seen black palm used for a trumpet before. Very neat figure I guess is the proper term.

Thanks.....maybe guys don't use it because they know this stuff is nasty to turn, keeping it in 1 piece is a major victory.

I thought you were dizzy to begin with?
