    Default A few items from the Yellow Peril

    Hello all, just a few things off the Yellow Peril.

    I haven't had much time to turn, as someone decided to to rebuild the mounting for his Dawn 225 vice . . . 2 days later . . . Don't build a bench out of Oregon . . . or inherit one!

    Meanwhile, back to the turning.

    First cab off the rank is a Sally Wattle Wine Bottle coaster from xmas eve. Yes I had all my jobs done by them, I was able to go and play in the shed!

    Next is a Figured Maple Bowl, 225 * 85 from today.

    Last is a Coolibah Burl, that is a wip.

    In my future, I see Sanding, a lot of Sanding!

    love the burl bowl !! i also hate it when i get those ridges. i've ruined many a wing trying one more pass to clean them up, good luck, can't wait to see it finished and finished. let me know how your knuckles end up after sanding.

    I like the coolabah bowl .
    I have been using a random orbital sander , with the lathe stationary , to clean up tram tracks like this . It reduces the the amount of hand sanding.
