I did find some very nice quilting in one crothc that i worked up. Bad side is most of that ended up on the floor. I roughed out 2 bowls and dosed them with a mixture. sawed out one 12" blank and...

Thanks Mike. I figured it to be that way.

I've got the opportunity for free black gum. It cam down in a storm last week. it's been limbed but has to be taken soon. It's a fair size tree. I don't really have the time to fool with all of the...

Again, very nice work Steve.

Ken cutting your four sides from one length will give you something to glue up and turn. However keep in mind you wont have matching grains when you put the pieces together.

The bigger the lathe the bigger the bandsaw........... what came first the chicken or the egg......... the blank or the bowl......... but don't let her do too much reading. Some of us don't have...

Here is my pen to Greg Cuetara. I wasn't sure what I would do but I wanted to share something with Greg. He had told me that he was in a way new to pen turning and like me only turned slime line...

Good job Mike, I keep looking at a cowboy hat at one of the shops near here and thinking I need to try that.

I use a simple formula that has been shared on here as well. W x H x product factor. This last number is placed in the formula by the turner. Many variables go into choosing this number such as but...

Welcome to the creek. Look forward to seeing some of your work soon!!

Very good job. That is about one step above glueing up and turning floor sweepings!! I've drilled a few small holes in some tenons and filled and soaked the tenons with thin CA to help them hold. You...

Very nice Mike. Got to love those zone lines for sure.

Very nice Tyler, I'm a fan of rims and beads. Anything you do from the heart is great! I keep going from pic to pic and I am leaning with Toney with shallow as well with the wide rim. Either way I...

I turned this green 8x4.5. Set it aside for a couple days to warp and flex. Sanded to 180 and filled a few small cracks then soaked in a home brew for about 30 mins. I let this drip dry 24 hrs and...

Greg,
I got two of these blocks at Woodcraft for like a 1.50 each. They were in a huge shipping box and just marked spalted maple. I was thinking about cutting them up for pen blanks but never used...

I saw a picture of something like this and figured I'd give it a try. Not my favorite turning but one that has sold faster than most.

Fred I'd get a blue. I've carried a blue in my pocket that was given to me and it's old it's not grainy but it's cuts. I have several and all grit. I use a green but only on my finer knives when i'm...

I've not seen the videos....... But i use a swept back 1/4 spindle gouges and remove as much as i can. Then i just use my wood chisel 1/4-1/2" to remove the bulk and power sand smooth.. Keep in mind...

I will thin BLO to wet sand, and i have a soak that I use that is 50/50 with 1/8 iol varn. When I'm just applying BLO I use a gray scotch pad that i keep in a zip lock bag for open grain and tight...

I think if it were mine I'd wet sand back down 4-600, seal coat everything. (wax free) sand to 400 2nd coat, sand to 6-800. Then mop on the minwax AO and rub it in.

Welcome Lynn, very nice bowl thank you for sharing. Woodturing is very adicting, it makes me not want to go to work every day and head back to the shop. One of these days I may just do that:)

I've been told to get Daylight bulbs, I've been told the K range on bulbs needs to be 5-5500. The bulbs i'm finding that say they are Daylight are 6500k, I'm told 6500 will make the pics blue. If the...

Good looking bowl Ben.

Just an idea.
Not sure how much you have or what the ladies needs are. But a sure way to move it all is get a value for it, find a Boy Scout Troop or Troops and donate it to them and take it off on...

Billy what does the back side look like?. I'm not crazy about the first one. I see several shapes small bowls or boxes a vase but the 2nd I'm loving. I see pleny with it but it's so hard for me to...
