My first turning in 14+ months
#11
and it is for the Mothers day sale with the hand made roses

It is Honey Locust, Black Walnut and Padauk


[attachment=9109]


I hollowed out the bottom first and then added the top and used a 1" forstner bit.
This is the first time I used Honey Locust and had surprising nice figure in it.
I will get a side shot tomorrow since I was not thinking of it but I put a cove in the middle of it with two burn lines which I made out of baling wire.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

I am going to change the finish to wipe on poly which holds up much better and over that I will put on a sun block of 85%.

What it is now is the three Beall buffs and then two coats of Renaissance wax which may look nice but does not hold up with a lot of handling.

Thanks guys

This is the first time I did a hollow form.  I hollowed out the bottom to 3/16" and then glued on the top.  The top did have more Walnut on top of the Padauk and I thought just a little at the top would make it look nicer then just the Padauk on top.

I used the hollower that Tim Yoder sells.  He gave it to us because it has a flaw, but I looked really well and no flaw so he just gave us a brand new one with all the do dads.  I do not know if I told you in the past or not but he gave us all of his DVDs he sold or did on TV.  He did a lot of neat stuff on them.

I appreciate the kind words, Mr. Arlin!
