Largest bowl for me to date
Actually this one is so chuffed with. Bowl turning and box making actually any woodturning besides pens was a real struggle. I remember coming to this board asking so many questions trying to grasp but then my username lubbing5cherubs (I think hughie and skewchidamn would got sick answering my questions. Lol) but got hurt and disabled and since had to work out ways to turn and finally grasping these. Anyway I digress this is today's bowl that i am so happy with.
keep on plugging away

For someone who struggled, it sure looks like you got a good handle on turning things other than pens, and turned a pretty nice bowl. two questions. #1 How long did you let the paint dry before you spun it again. #2 What does you shop look like after spinning it with the paint on the form? ...........

I spun the paint wet to make the centrifugal pressure to throw it out the edge. Actually not too bad as put paper in the wall and my lathe and the rest mainly went in me to protect the rest if room lol but never dried before the next layer as it all worked together so was all good. The black was put on the night before. It all good was fun
keep on plugging away

Hi Toni, bowl looks great. That looks like a piece of the Cassia fistula, aka Golden Shower tree or Indian Laburnum - the only other stuff you got that it could be were Neem or Chinaberry (white cedar). The grain looks like Cassia though. It's beautiful wood, don't know why it's not more widely used.
I'll drop off some more bits over the weekend and i.d. it properly then.
Cheers, Robbie.

if you do that again and you have an old paint bucket, just put it over the piece and jam it up against the head stock. Turn on the lathe, and when you think the paint is spread enough, turn it off and remove the bucket. Everything will be clean except the inside of the bucket. ............... Jerry (in Tucson, USA)
