Those look outstanding! And finished in a rotary to boot. Looks like I've found the gold standard to shoot for when I run my next load. I just cut down some large pieces of mahogany, silver sheen, and rainbow today. I wish one of my rotaries was empty so I could start on them. You have given me great motivation to start on some more. Awesome.
