Another dai sensei collaboration!
This is my ARRRRRRRRGH bowl. Photos courtesy of Neil.
I managed to turn this completely before Neil turned up, except for the bottom. I had intended to use the club's Cole's jaws to finish it off but Neil volunteered to show me a method that required the use of a face plate, some non slip mat and the tailstock. Most interesting!!
The final finishing of the bottom was done with a sanding disc in my cordless drill.
Finish is Shellawax and then Shellawax cream.
I don't know the exact species but it is a eucalypt. Grain is pretty special and it was much appreciated as a gift by some friends in Brisbane.
I have other part turned pieces in the pipeline and when they are finished I want to start on some more creative work.Last edited by dai sensei; 22nd October 2014 at 11:21 AM. Reason: added photos

Nice bowl, artme. I pricked my ears up when you mentioned Eucalyptus, as I work with it a bit and like the grain and variation. (And that is such a lovely soft wood to work!)
I had to look back at my Work in Progress thread to see how it compared in shape to the bowl I did there and I see that yours is different, so you are not getting any dig-ins about "brake drums" as I did.
It looks good, and you and the recipients are satisfied with it - that is what does it for me.
Cheers,
Alister.

Looks great artme. Fantastic grain in it as well. Awesome.
Dave,
hug the tree before you start the chainsaw.
