Oversize turning (part2)
Just getting a chance to upload the final photos of the big bowl, which was given over as a present for the wedding we went to this weekend. Hopefully they will be pleased… Here it is after a fine sanding and a light oiling.
The home mixed oil is bringing out the fantastic swirly depths of the grain.
Off the lathe and unscrewed from the ply face plate, it is still a bit mouldy under there (as expected). I cut the little centring protrusion off with a small flush-cut saw, and clean it up with a quick sand down.
Here it is atop the ever evolving lathe.
Ready for rapping with paper and boxing up.
