Hi Everyone I had a bit of fun today with the New Lathe. I Mounted a Bowl that I had
rough turned to 10mm about a Month ago and left to dry .the Wood is of a branch of Apricot, and it was part of the Crutch where about 6 branches went in all different direction. The lathe worked like a dream.:2tsup: The wood was still a bit Green so I put it in the MicroWave For 2 Minutes-at 30 seconds at time. For healt reasons this is best Done when Wife is out Shoping.:U
Finshed with 1 coat Sanding Sealer--1 coat Shellawax Cream and 1 coat Shellawax.
hope you like it.
Cheers Tony.:)
