    Default Just a little one

    Did this maybe 12 months ago
    River Redgum slabbed in the 70s
    1700 round still had room on the lathe
    it has a foot on it but you can't see it it

    It was for a good mate who's kitchen bench tops and table came from the same slabs

    start waight was around 100kg

    200mm faceplate 200mm vicmarc chuck and jaws

    2 days turning and 4 days sanding

    I ended up running the grinder none stop and 2x 5/8 bowl gouges.

    Note turned in board not outboard

    Dave that is one hell of a tree, 1.7m diameter. Would have taken an effort to get it on the lathe? Nice turning too..

    1700 round. (assuming outside diameter). As in 1.7 metres?
    Turned inboard?
    Something does not make sense here. What sort of a lathe is it?
    Aside from that it looks fine!

    The pics look smaller then they are.

    lathe was made in 1996 pre omega stubby moving to casting the beds.
    the stubby that's made today only has a 1000 swing
