    Default NG Rosewood Bowl

    I mention in another thread that I ended with a few bowl blanks and that I was using them to practice.

    This one is NG Rosewood as most would have read the title and deduced from there.

    I had a small piece fly out of this one and turned it out and continued shaping the bottom. Once I turned it around and started hollowing I discovered a fault where another piece has departed from the bowl. By my limited experience with bowl turning I was seeing a possible fault that might cause a third of the bowl to depart from the piece. I decided to stop and leave it a little heavy.

    One thing I found strange is this piece I was turning has the pith of the tree or branch running from one end of the bowl to the other. I found turning NG Rosewood was an absolute pleasure so easy to cut.

    Please feel free to comment and offer suggestions.

    Christos NGRW can be a a pleasure or ARPIA need to watch for silica in it as it blunts tools faster than a grinder would

    CA works wonders to fix, and stop bits flying off look prior turning and even as a precaution drop some in the void.

    Default NG rosewood bowls

    Christos,
    Well done. It has nice texturing/figuring. If it is a small defect
    I suggest medium/thick CA with relevant sawdust. If bigger think about epoxy and colour and make a feature of it.
    I am making a son-in-law a rod rack for Xmas using some NG Rosewood that I got from Trend recently. Beautfiul figuring on it.
    PS. The big clamps are working well. Regards, Drillit.

    That's good to hear you are using the clamps. I certainly have had no use for anything longer than 600mm.
