Notes from a carver
Hi all now as a spend more time on the lathe
I see why you enjoy it
I will never stop carving but its nice to try your hand at somethink new
and hey if I can carve it well thats good to
now I know I still have a lot to work on with my turning
but was thinking I will list off the good and bad in turning
GOOD,
you ge tsomethink finished in a short time
Bad
you soon start looking at wood as how can I turn this
not how can I carve this
Good
all the bits of wood that are to little to carve I can turn
Bad
getting that 1st face full off chips
Good
the turners I have talked to are all nice people
Bad
working on the lathe to hear that bang crash as your work flys off the lath
and you jump 10 ft in the air
so heres two from today
the bolw is going to have the outside carved
ps pics not that good had to use the web camDANGER!!!!I'm Dyslexic Spelling may offend!!!!!

You all carver turners have an unfair advantage over us plain ole turners. While we can only make it round, you can do that and then create all sorts of interesting embellishments. Some really great Aussie and Kiwi carvers out there.
