Are they off the new lathe ?

If so,how much better is it ?

Yes Andrew, just a half hours break after a day re-arranging the tools etc.

Have a commission to turn as many small Cedar pieces as I can from this particular tree (The old wood pile) and as I unearthed several pieces during the move round have decided to clear them out of the way.

Not very exotic or challenging apart from tool control to stop the soft wood tearing but at least it is familiarizing me with the new layout.

The Machine is proving a Dream, the main difference is the power output, hollowing one of these little bowls out takes two minutes tops, I suspect that I will have to treat it with a little more respect than the Perform when I get round to some bigger stuff in case it bites back.

Hope to do some more similar tomorrow after I stow some of the lathe attachments etc. in some draw liners.
Will post some more picks on the other thread tomorrow on new layout.

Very nice - particularly like the grain pattern in the cherry.

:shock: Your a bit good at this aren't you .

I think that is because he has had lots and lots of practice

More very nice bowls, you given us some thing to aim for ( I have not done much bowl turning but I think that might change soon

would that be Aylesbury cherry by any chance Chas...??

great work as usual, SWMBO loves your work too, all I get now is " why dont yours look like that, Dear" :shock: :lol:

still, a good excuse to persuade her I need a better lathe

Afraid not Neil, thats still calming down a bit before I tackle it.

This was from a small tree felled by my local wood benefactor because it was endangering a 4 metre high listed cotswold stone wall on the property.
These are all part of an understanding we have in payment for the timber, I get my consumables paid for and keep the bulk of the wood, the benefactors clients get to take home a small memento of their stay in the cotswolds.
