Hei Guys,
Some pics of my first attempt with the Vicmarc bowl jaws, the timber is marri and it's probably still a bit wet because it's only been off the tree about 5 months.
The wood was end checked when cut, rough turned about 3 weeks ago, endchecked again and then finished this week.
I probably should have let the timber dry longer but I was impatient to try the new chuck and jaws.
There's a knot in the top edge of the bowl which I left it in because I think points like this add to the character of the work - the knot came loose on one edge during turning so I used a little superglue prior to final sanding.
All I've done for finishing was sanding through stages to 400 grit and then U-Beaut shithot wax stick.
Cheers
Paul
