Holy Sweet Cheese-us those are gorgeous!!!
I must say....they buffed up nice. Although I can see I'm going to need a lil more power than just the 3/4. Time to upgrade I think. It kept bogging down whenever I used more than gentle pressure....so it took a lil longer than expected to buff em. I buffed off the oil and reapplied the 50/50 mix and buff it again...
Still...I am extremely pleased with the outcome..
I need to get more of the spalted maple. Great stuff to work with.

...and here's the actual photo. WeWOOD is an Italian company, so I figured the Italian made Berretta 92 was an appropriate backdrop...
I haven't worn a watch in over a decade as I'm not too fond of jewelry and such, but this was just too cool to pass up. It's light as a feather and I can hardly feel it on. Definitely not something you see every day...

That wouldn't last one day on me....I'm way to rough on my watches. I have 3 Reactor watches....those are shotgun proof. So they at least have a fighting chance with me.
Nice watch LES. Sure does look good next to that other Italian beauty...

Thanks guys.
I think it's pretty cool and figured it was worthy of posting in this thread. They have several other styles in multiple colors/stains including one they call beige which is essentially a blonde or unstained look. Might have to get my hands on one of those too. Here are a few of their other models...
