bog oak- NOW WITH NO DING!!

[hpl]

Did he turn it out or plane it? I would have used a plane.

I like it, especially now. It was worth removing the Ding I'm sure.

That looks like a beast of a lathe you have there

[cornucopia]

am i the only one who doesn't know how the ding was removed ?? :shock:

in the end i sanded it of the face and edges starting with 80 grit and working through to 400, it took about 20 minutes to do- i usd the vac chuck to hold it whilist i worked.

There is a definate 'skill' in making something that's 'simple' ( in relative terms ), look so stunning.
A skill I've definately yet to learn !

Thats teriffic Corny ... looks great. !
The loss of the 'ding' is the piece's gain, for sure.
Thats very very nice. 8) 8)

Apologies if you've seen it before... its not strictly 'turnery' as such, but I thought the finished article was something rather splendid and worth the 'share' ...

Nice piece of work too. :wink:

Definitely worth the share...if onlyy to make me :mrgreen:

The contrast between the bog oak and the yew is reall effective and the carving something I would love to be able to do.

That must be one very patient lady, the level of detail looks incredible, and a splendid piece.
