slipangle Report post Posted October 26, 2014 I've also turned a couple of burnishers for use in a drill press. I made these small burnishers out of a piece of Lignum vitae I've had for thirty years. For those who may not know, lignum vitae is considered the hardest and heaviest wood in the world. And it is extremely rare now. Especially in this grade. But, it has been just sitting in my shop so I decided to put it to good use. Cocobolo makes great burnishers, and I have lots of it here, but I prefer lignum vitae. It is much more dense than cocobolo, with a finer grain pattern, and has a natural waxy feeling to it due to its high oil content. Makes for an amazing burnisher. For scale, shafts are 1/4 inch stainless steel. I'll also post these two over at the marketplace section, in case of any interest. Thanks for looking.
