Cheers Stef.

Your local Bunnys store should have them, well they do south of the boarder anyway.

Chees Stef

We tryed doing this in Victoria at the start of the year but i couldnt get a reliable supply of burls.
We were wanting to order 2-4 ton at a time and we had promises made but at the end of the day i...

Cheers Stef.

Maybe it was a typo....... It may have been supposed to read "Dulux Clear Satin".

Cheers Stef.

I played around with a 50/50 mix and sprayed the shellac, this is certainlly the best way that i have tryed and now will be the only way i will apply it. So if anyone wants to try and spray it i hope...

The Malley burl does it for me, spectacular.:2tsup:

Robyn2839 i would also like to spray my HS but i allways thought it would dry pretty much as it left the gun. Whats your mixing ratio, im keen to give it a go.:2tsup:

Cheers Stef.

I am wanting to buy a Ci 1 Easy Rougher Frank & Earnest.
I would be interested to know more about the insert that you are using, can you post pic.


Cheers Stef.

Thanks for the comments, i will certainly take it all onboard.

As for finish i think i lean slightly in favour of the high gloss, but with saying that to see the blackwood bowl in the real its...

Here are a few pics of my second lot of bowls. I have taken on board some of the comments that were posted on my first thread about the bowls being a bit to shinny so i have tryed a few things a bit...

Nice turnings Bowl Basher.

I will certainly be on the lookout for some olive tree cut offs after seeing that.


Cheers Stef.

A finish you might consider using is Waterlox tung oil... it seals a finishes with a single application, but of course like many things in life 5 to 10 coats are more realistic to get a deep...

Cornucopia that looks great.:2tsup:

I just watched a Jimmy Clews dvd and he goes through some of the hollowing tools, he shows a hollowing tool that spits the shavings out the top, does that...

Thanks.

Artme I would still like to experiment with an oil finish, prolly danish oil and maybe i will try the minwax satin instead of the gloss. Whatever I try I will post up the pics.

Cheers...

Here are the photos of my first lot of bowls that i made on a Vicmarc laythe that i bought about 9 months ago. Im only just getting around to using it now and now that i have made a few things im...

We encountered this same thing on the weekend. Got a phone call from a mate last week in NSW that he had a few good logs...

That`ill do it.
A smaller version with a neater support post and there might even be a market for it.

Maybe some oscallating fans could be set up or a bank of exhaust style fans infront of the timber forcing the air through the timber and thus ellimanating any dead spots in the room. This could be...

Very nice setup, I to would be keen to see a some bigger pics. More of the truck crane setup...........now you have me thinking.:2tsup:

This is all great advice.
