A few recent turnings...

Have been trying to sort out my shed whilst on holidays but have managed to get some turning done. Still do mostly pens but am also happy with how my bowl turning is progressing. I wasn't really happy with how the Huon bowl was progressing so decided to try a lid for it. The finial is pretty rough but I'm still learning and am fairly happy with where I'm at for now:D.

The Huon on the Jarrah burl is a design highlight (I went through the base finishing the bottom:wink:)

The finish is Ubeaut Hard Shellac, still playing around with a few different finishes and although this shows up a little patchy in the photo's... they look better in real life:wink:

Corbs

Looking good corbs!!!
Luv the finial on pic 6.
All the best, keep pedalling!

Corbs, very neat bowls, well executed, an outstanding finial.

Very beautifull bowls Corbs. I've one question; how do you made the finial? Carving?

Thanks guys... Wilco, the finial was carved with a dremel. I did think about inside out turning though... maybe another time.

Nice work Corbs. Love the silky in particular.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

Well done Corbs, nothing mediocre about this batch of work. Love the finial but I reckon its way too big for that box. IMHO finials shouldn't over power the work. Finish looks spot on.

Great work Corbs.

The Silky has classic lines.

The Jarrah, perhaps a bit fussy for my taste. With rustic wood I prefer simple strong lines. Just my 2c worth.

Nice turnings Corb !!! :2tsup:

Nice work, Corbs. :2tsup: Like Ern, I think the silky piece is classy.

So what's next?

Hello Corbs
Very nice work, I too was impressed with the finial. Shame about the burl bowl, but the huon pine insert looks good. Keep burl reasonably chunky as it will explode with all the cracks and fissures.

Thanks again all, the finial is a bit imposing but as its among my first 5 so I guess the only thing I can do is improve:D

Great effort. Pity about the breakout in the jarrah burl, I wonder whether a ring of huon down about a half inch from the top might be a a highlight and fit in with the plug in the bottom.
I like the finial - great work
improve away ...

PS I like the silky bowl

Very Nice.

Really nice bowls mate, I love the Jarrah, that would have been fun waiting for bits to separate on you.
