Bill, the feet look great. Did you sand away the lower portion to create the feet? I'm looking forward to seeing it on Sunday

Thanks, Bill. Carving is definitely time consuming, particularly as we are in the learning stages.
Thanks for the info, John. I have a big light tent but it was not set up when I took the pics. I've ordered new bulbs for the lights, but they haven't arrived yet. After talking with Chris Ramsey...
Thanks, David. I love the look of NE cherry because of the heartwood/sapwood.
John, here is the bottom. It's difficult to get a good photo with all of the reflections.

I've been working on footed pieces and decided to try this form. Many of you will recognize the inspiration. Finished with WOP. Feet were carved with the Arbortech mini.
Measurements are 11"...
Wow, Bill. You have a nice setup and all the "bells and whistles". I'm looking forward to seeing what you create with that new setup.
Cindy Droza has some center points on her website. I don't know if they will fit yours, but she could probably tell you.
Thom,
I also have 12 ft ceiling in my shop. I installed cables wall to wall about 6 or 7 ft from the floor to hang shower curtains. I anchored the cables to wall studs and tightened them with...
Congratulations, Bill.
Bill, I have a Titan, if you want to look at it.
Wow, DD. You're going all out on this! I, too, am glad to see you posting again. Your work is exemplary, as usual.
Thanks for all of the responses. Great information.
Steve, have you tried the aforementioned knob from D-Way? If you have not, you may be surprised. My first impression was that the knob would get in the way, but, for me, it does not interfere with...
There have been countless threads on SMC regarding the safety of various finishes for salad bowls and and other utility items, but I haven't seen many questions or responses addressing the durability...
Although this is a bit of a side note, I would recommend using your 180 grit CBN wheel for awhile before you decide to purchase a higher grit wheel. IMO, a new CBN wheel is aggressive but will...
Very creative. It's a good way to integrate the dreaded "flat" work into your turning.
That's beautiful wood, Doug. The shape is nice, but I agree with you on the height of the rim. It will hold more popcorn with the taller rim, though.
Doug, these are all beautiful, and I'm sure she will love them. I like what you did on the bottoms. Well done.
Dennis, do you feel like this is better than commercially available WOP?
Carl, I'll have to look at that one again. I've heard about the process but having tried it yet. Something to keep in mind next time before I take it off of the lathe.
Thanks, John. I wet sand a lot with AO and similar products but haven't wet sanded with WOP. I'll give it a try and see how it goes. I'll post better pics when I'm done.
Our woodturner's group challenge for this month is to turn a platter. I've turned these two platters with feathers. The first is a walnut platter 16" diameter, and the second is pecan approximately...
Mike, one of the benefits of a vacuum chuck for me is that I can access the entire bottom of the turning. This can also be done with cole jaws and some jam chucks depending on the size and shape of...
I'm not 100% sure how I damaged the threads, but I suspect it is from removing chucks one handed while using the lathe in reverse to unscrew the chuck. I never use lathe power to screw the chuck...
