Suggestions please to finish turning this bowl. The wood is dry and has quit moving, now it is time for me to start moving.
The clamps were put on during the drying stage to stop the wood from splitting open and will stay on for the time. The small groove cut around the outside near the rim was for a piece of wire to stop the wood from splitting open while rough turning.
This is a piece of crotch wood. Nothing spectacular about the grain or anything. Just a nice piece of Laurel Oak that I want to see turned into a finished bowl.
I am thinking a bowtie on each side. How do I cut the holes and get a good tight fit with the bowtie inserts ?
