First time turning Acacia, I guess. I was not expecting the wood to be so hard but, wow, it is! Got through it with lots of sharpening and found the grain to be beautiful and colorful. Complimented by the excellent bark, it turned out to be a beautiful piece. Not sure about the shape, though, what do you think?
