It always amazes me how natures beauty reveals itself when we turn a item

Just as in this lovely deep bowl , well done =D>

 

[skeetoids]

Very nice shaped bowl there Rich and the ripple in the Ash is gorgeous 8) A good WIP, don't worry about them being 'old hat' everyone loves a WIP

The Makita radio is just showing off though...........

 

[richburrow]

Hahahaahha JT
I was just showing what I used.
The radio is as important for the job as the gouge :lol: :lol:

Hi Rich,

Had another look at this piece and I really do like it a lot.

Love the before finish and after finish pics, amazing how it changes the wood.

Would you mind telling what size the blank was?

Great work.

Lee.

 

[richburrow]

Hello Lee
It was an unusually deep blank 10"dia by 6"ish deep.
Ash is a joy to turn, and smells nice

Yet another lovely looking piece of timber Rich,and very nicely turned and finished
I have some Ash logs i just hope they turn out as nice as this piece.
Did you turn this piece on the right hand side of the lathe :?:
I like your piccy frames too.That would be a nice little project for your students

 

[skeetoids]

Thanks Rich :wink:

Lovely ash bowl.

What's the bog-roll for? :lol:

 

[callumlovatt]

interesting splodge there. Nice 2 see you trying something different.

 

[richburrow]

Thanks guys

This is not turning and not done in the shed, however it is a bowl none the less.

I had an epic fail in the shed tonight, flying spinning Elm (hammer)
Hopfully I will have time to re turn it tomorrow evening. Hope you are all having a good weekend.

Rich , can you set the record straight on this one :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :lol:

 

[richburrow]

No
That one has played its last dance
:lol:

 

[skeetoids]

Hi Rich,

For the 'record', this piece just isn't hitting the right 'note' for me, I can see you're 'playing around' with a new idea but it just doesn't 'sing' to me like your other work.

What speed did you turn this at by the way, 900BPM!!!

(hammer) (hammer) (hammer) (hammer)

 

[Paul.J]

How hot is it in your shed Rich :shock:
:lol: :lol:

 

[stevebuk]

no need for a song and dance about it Rich, definitely different.. :lol: :lol:

 

[mike s]

nice turnings!
a bit of an odd question but what chuck do you use?

 

[richburrow]

hahahahah
you are all a set of jokers

Sorry Paul I didn't see you question, I do all my bowls on the left hand side, no lathe bed to get in the way.

Mike I use a Patriot and have Aminster K10?? I think, only use that for the button jaws, long nose jaws and some small jaws.
Patriot is my favorite of the two.

Had another go at last nights fail and made a right mess of it, I will post a pic of the even more Epic Fail later. Shame because it was a lovely piece of wood. Still I have learnt what not to do next time :shock:
