Hi All,
Thanks replys, Not sure about the wood, i'm no expert, but Mrs Loz got it for me from a joiner, and was told she was given mahogany, Ash and Oak, planks about 4x3 that i cut down to a square, and mounted on its face on a woodscrewchuck.
The rim was created by chance with that colouring as the wood seems to have been sawn with a dark heartwood ?
Might give some clues as to its type ?
i wore a disposable dust mask for sanding, but while turning there were only nice shavings.
Working with the new gauge was a dream, even rouging the square into a short cylinder was easy ( not sure if i should stick to a roughing out gauge even on that orientation of the wood ?
Can someone explain how to size my pics properly ( i use photobucket and can only seem to reduce to 640 across - and how do i get the "click for bigger view" tag ?
thanks
Loz

Try this Loz.It was put on an earlier post.
I will now try and explain how i do it with the thumnails.
When you have logged into PB,click on BROWSE This will let you look at the piccys you want in your folder.Click on the piccy than press OPEN When you have selected the piccys you want click on the UPLOADtag.This will bring your piccys to your PB folder.
When the piccy is their,there is a small square box below your piccy,click in this box putting a tick in it.
Then scroll to the bottom of the page where you will see some other boxes,click on the last box saying GENERATE HTML AND IMG CODE.
On the next page click on the third box down.This will copy your piccy.
Now go back to the forum page and just right click and paste,this will put the url in the box.Click on PREVIEW under the box to see if your piccy is their.If it is great.
When you upload more than one piccy you will have to seperate them at the end of each url.
HTH.

Loz, Do Not use the Roughing Gouge to true up a bowl blank cut in the normal orientation, the loads imposed by the end grain may be far too high for the narrow tang of the gouge to withstand.
The bowl gouge is the tool for the job.
By the way I think the colour difference may be due to exposure to light, if I am correct the whole piece will darken after a period when left out in a light location.
