Not really interested in pen blanks but larger pieces for turning and/or flat work interest me. Am I to assume it best to contact David directly or did he plan to upload some pics?
thanks

Best bowl is the tulip shape of 10. Mate that with the stem on 13 for a winner.
No idea what happened with Bryce's piece but I have used Minwax several times and am sold. I turn to about 1/8-1/4" of final size. Soak by heavily brushing on several applications soaking...
As with any piece without much support to the edge, I finish turn and finish sand the exterior of the piece completely before hollowing. Then hollow and finish sand down a short distance, often only...

If Mike for whatever reason (2 hp) is not interested, I may be.

Spectacular! And the turning is pretty nice as well. My initial though was a stack of bowls.
Stunning pieces. I have always been amazed at the basket designs posted here and these appear Perfect. Should have no trouble picking up another blue
Wondering if you could rig it to be held by the four jaw chuck. Spin slow if not well supported or centered. Use file or emery paper. It may have a hole in the bottom for tail stock center to help...
I love the Box Elder, but the best part for me is the bottom of the vessel. You have some pretty nice feather going on in the crotch but the bottom had the wow factor
Guess I'll just have to give it ago and report in on what happens.
thanks
Has anyone used the Norfolk Island Pine treatment to induce translucency on other woods with similar results? Specifically, I have plenty of BLM.
thanks
I am not typically a great fan of this style NE bowl but the feet (especially the toes) really set this one apart. And I love the color.
i have not had the courage or patience or whatever to tackle...
Great execution with the subtle ogee shape to the bowl (or is that Roman ogee??). Especially like what you did with the gentle reverse curve above the beads. Is that another tiny bead above the...
Texture is one of the simplest of turning procedures. You can purchase a tool manufactured for wood or use a machinist's knurling tool. Spin piece at low speed with significant pressure by the tool...
Thanks for the thoughts and comments.
Looking at the pics I am in agreement that it looks a bit clunky and the texture seems out of place. I don't get to same feel looking at the bowl, the wall...
I must admit I have been among the lazy lurkers and haven't posted pics in a while. I also have few photos to document completed projects, since re-homed. Here are a few pics of my latest, as yet...
The majority of my burl turnings are natural edge and this is a stellar example. My second thought also involved the distraction of the flat edge. I would place it on the bottom, kinda makes it...
Yes that is lovely material you have there. I would like to see a better lit (not in shadow) pic.
I know of many politicians who can seriously spin the truth. Don't know why that skill couldn't be transferred it spinning a little wood. Except many just don't seem to be that sharp.
Love what you did here, especially with the table. Is the top hollowed like a bowl? Hard to tell with the photo angle and glass. I would like to see a pic with the glass removed or at least a top...
FWIW, I don't think it makes any difference. First, the fungus causing the spalt is long since dead when the material is dry. Second, I think it highly unlikely you could extract anything from the...
Very necely done bowl and the color is stunning. I have been reluctant to dye much but seeing all these spectacular dyed pieces, guess I gotta do it. I'm just concerned I will ruin an otherwise...
I wasn't so sure the vase needed improvement but you nailed it with the bling on the bottom.
Love the wood and shape. You did it very well. I'm not sold on the rim personally. Nearly all of my turnings have a natural edge at the top but the only ones I find distracting are the ones with...
Incredible color. Reminds me of Jupiter's Great Red Spot. Love it and hope the color doesn't fade too quickly.
