    Default shed time

    Hi All
    Managed to spend a fair bit of time in the shed this week end and finished up with three bowls that I am reasonable happy with
    the first is a bit of Resser's Blackwood and finished up 250dia X 120 high
    finished to 600, Hut wax,EEE then buffed with soft bees wax
    number 2 is a piece of my "found on road Camphor Laurel" the grain and "quilting' that a appeared as I started to clean the blank up dictated the this had to have as much bottom as possible to show it off 340 dia x 60 high it is a cross between a platter and a bowl finished to 600 and several coats of shellawax with a EEE cut after the second
    3rd is a bit of Red Gum with a "punky "lump that was to good to turn out it has had a heap of CA and turned quite well 160 in dia 70 high finished to 1200 with 2 coats of BLO and buffed with soft bees wax
    love your coments

    I can turn large lumps of wood into very small bowls

    The Blackwood for shape and colour would be my pick. All the same some very very good shed time

    Graham, you spend your time very well.
    I like them all, but the blackwood stole my heart, and I guess I'm not the only one.

    Nice work BB.

    Did you find the Blackwood to be brittle?
    Cheers, Ern

    Not so much brittle but a real PITA with tear out on the end grain
    finished with a sharp.sharp scraper with as fine a cut as I could
    still had to resort to the 80# gouge to take the final tears out
    still have one lump left and that has some swirling grain so it will wait untill im in a real patient mood
    I can turn large lumps of wood into very small bowls
