    Smile Yellow Peril Turnings

    Played with the Yellow Peril today . . .

    Redgum Platter/Shallow Bowl . . . still not finished, more coats of DO to go.

    Camphor Bowl, internal finished to 600, with EEE, 2 coats Glow and then a coat of cream for a good lustre. External finish to 240 and DO. Why? Because I was just experimenting . . .

    The images look good, but can you repost some images at a bigger size, like 800 x 600 for example so that we can see them a bit better?

    DJ, unfortunately no. My computer is not behaving and all the USB ports have thrown a wobbler, so the only way for me to pics is for my wife to email them to me.

    Sizes, Redgum is approx 380 - 400 and the Camphor is a tiny 260mm

    Not too much problems, my wife even said that she'd put them in RAW format on disc for you. She even suggest a Lacquer finish on the platter, but I demurred as a I did not have any on hand, b I personally don't like the plastic look some lacquers get, c I like the finish the DO gives on a burl. Am I brave or am I stupid for not agreeing with my wife

    I'm happy to accept a RAW format on a disc, that way I can post a great image on the forum for you

    PM me for an address to send the disc to

    Hi Pat
    Love the platers great stuff tha tred gum with its holes cracks etc I've done some jarrah with the same sort of grain you can get some interesting finishes with this kind of burl, just done one using the wests system casting resin with the filler and brass powder but next time more brass.

    Cheers Tony

    Pat, Very nice work. Often good to listen carefully to advice from wife, judiciously weigh the alternatives, cogitate upon potential results, and then (usually) do what she said.
