WA She Oak platter
A couple of weeks ago, Dusteater had a few WA She Oak bowl blanks on the forum. I had turned pen blanks of WA She Oak from him before and jumped on the opportunity to purchase the bowl blanks.
I decided to see how it turns in this format. Sharp gouges and NR scrapers did most of the work. My 12mm skew was used to form the bead.
About 240mm diameter, just too big for the large cole jaws, so the Longworth came out to play. The pics are of it after EEE. I am spraying with gloss poly, off the lathe.
Fun.

Have you ever sprayed poly over EEE before? And if you have, how do you deal with the waxy content of the EEE and does it give any problems?

Kuffy, you buff the EEE until all trace is removed. One of the reasons it is brown, is that you can easily see if you have any on the work piece.
Also, less is more with EEE, even on medium sized projects, I used a dab of EEE and finger warmth to spread over the piece.
EEE is not a finish, it is a medium to polish the timber.Pat

That's a great looking bowl Pat from a beautiful piece of timber. Hope you will post a photo once the finish has been applied.
