    Default My latest f#$*up

    Black Locust burl bowl rough turned over 12 months ago and finish turned at the club on Wednesday ~200mm dia x ~200mm high x 5mm thick. Sanded to 1200 all over and it looked like it was polished . Found a dimple in the bottom as I left so decided to take it home to finish. Removed the dimple Ok, then removed the foot, but as I was doing a 50mm flat recess for branding BANG .

    Glued them together and gave it a quick coat of NCL, to give you an idea of what it was going to look like, although I was going to use oil. The coffee infill piece on the lip was never to be seen again

    Hi,
    Worth twice as much with those artistic cracks. Any one who argues tell them to make a copy.

    fubar: with a thread title like that and your name (which was the latest post when I initially wrote this), I thought you were introducing the birth of a new child. Wrong section of the Forum I guess.

    Neil: a real shame about the bowl. These things always seem to happen right at the last moment.

    Heart starting and heart breaking, were you using Cole jaws when it let go?
    I had a smaller one explode while using the Cole jaws. And glued it pack together and use it as a shellac bowl.

    Yeh, too small a gripping face, should have used the donut chuck, but it was the catch on a knot squaring off the face that did the damage

    Hay Neil, if that don't melt you. It would have been such a nice piece. Why don't you cast it and return it; you know with opened cracks. Might be interesting. I saw the first pick and thought "that looks like that Black Locust I'm trying to sell (same spalting)" Then I read a bit and it is Black Locust. Anyhow, commiserations buddy.

    Yeh it was a shame, being only 5mm thick and no more tenon it is impossible to return. I'm not into hand sanding that much either, plus there are just too many cracks, so to me it would just look like crap.

    I'm thinking of cutting it to see how consistent the 5mm is as it was done by feel.

    Bad luck, I know that feeling only too well. Last time it happened to me it was a segmented bowl I had just spent three weeks building. Not pleasant.
