Thank you I use to be a photographer for the army

Thank you. I keep thinking about a lighting setup to take my photo's

I have only done 7 this month most of them decorated pieces which can take up to 4 days to complete if everything goes OK. I need these as I will be giving a talk to the woodturning club about decorating. Can't remember George doing one like this. Will have to go through his site and have a look

Small hollow form 4" X 3 1/4" top is spalted beech for contrast and the main body from a dirty looking piece of London plain sprayed with ebonising spray and decorated using chestnut iridescent paints and finished with satin acrylic spray C & C welcome

Made from Tulip wood and stands 6 1/2" X 3" decorated with ebonising spray and Jo Sonja Iridescent paints applied with a sponge C & C welcome

Like most things a little thought in what to colour and how is the answer as you already know so well

Thank you guys I did dilute the dye quite thin which helped with this one

Chestnut burr sanded to 400 grit and then coloured with red and yellow water based dyes and finished with Danish oil before giving it a buff. Measures 5 1/2" X 2 1/2" C & C welcome

Knit one pearl one oops dropped 5 bags :D :D :D

Depending on the size of the piece will depend on me knocking the corners off. As I was saying the other day the piece I had planned for a project turned out still to be wet so found another which is dry and as it is a vase shape the inside was not too easy to get a smooth finish, but got there...

Emiliano is a good turner he also writes for the woodturner magazine.

Nice. I know what you mean about tidying up I have just come in from doing just that and clearing out all the rough turned ones I have in there as well as starting yet another piece which this time I know is dry wood

Nice bowls Chas as always. But then I expect nothing less from your workshop I do like a bit of cherry turns and finishes nice but does change the colour of spirit stain

There are router bits that are designed for cutting ali but whether you can do it in a hand held router I don't know

Nice shape just that little taper and round bottom sets it off nicely with plenty of interest in the grain =D>

I believe I saw a post on one of the forums that I visit and the outcome was that they are not the same.

Just to add to CHJ's post when turning a tenon for rough turning make it slightly larger than normal this allows for distortion as it dries which means that you can return it to the correct size for the jaws and bring it round again giving the best support for the bowl.

It's not down to what you did. If the blank was still wet even though it does not feel it then the wood will move and possibly crack. Let it sit for a month or two before trying to do any filling again. Difficult to see from here but if it was wet then an even thickness wall may help to stop...

Well all started well and I managed to rough out some blanks ready for drying and then final turning. However I decided to take a piece from the dry rack and start on a vase seen in the photo, finished the outside and started to hollow out only to find it still wet and by the time I had...

Well at least you managed a couple. I seem to be getting a little more done on the turning front, even if it is only roughing out but have started a vase which is going to be 9" tall well that is what it starting at :twisted: :lol: :lol: :lol:
