Thread: Turning a walnut bowl - FAIL!

Yes, all of that timber had a great deal of chatoyance throughout. The slab had the pith running straight thru the center of it and there was also a few knots in one side which caused the timber grain to twist and turn its way around the knots. I have another bowl here which actually has one of the knots running down the bowl side wall and the figure is tremendous. Though after turning and finishing with shellawax, it was kinda slippery and the bowl quickly found itself bouncing off the banjo, onto the lathe bed and then onto the concrete floor!!!! woops a fix for another day, the dings are only minor but the knot needs filling with some epoxy because my cheap n nasty solution of timbemate worked exactly "as expected".

Thanks for the 2 vids, much more than a save, this design opportunity turned out far better than the original was going to in my opinion!
