Well, here is my latest experiment. I had a real seat turned for me on A7 hardware using lavaflow acrylic. I'm planning on wrapping with red metallic thread and either white NCP or black metallic thread for trim. The blank is matte charcoal in color. Bold, yes. Subtle, not even close. But I think I'm going to like it. Any thoughts/opinions? In my defense, it isn't going on bamboo.
The seat is probably a bit more stunning than the picture shows.
