The start of a Cherry bowl

[woody]

This is the last of my large logs that I was given about 8 years ago it start of 18" x 7" but it had quite a large crack right across it as you can seen so it ended up being 12" x 6" and some of the crack is still there and filled in I had to make it with a spigot instead of a dovetail just to make sure it didn't split right in half I will finish it in the morning

Made with my new Versa chuck it is a very good bit of equipment and I would recommend it

Woody,

what's this, slowing down!

We normally expect you to turn out several items a day, not part finish one bowl!

Okay, let me guess, SWMBO dragged you around the shops as it's Saturday.

Already looking forward to the final piece tomorrow.

I did make another 3 rustic clocks this morning LOL They are for a shop in Newark

Nice WIP Woody, that was alot of wood to takeout, very wise to use a spigot and compress the crack, helps with glueup if you did so, nice piece of cherry.

Cheers      David

Hi Dave yes I did glue it up just to make sure now I'm of to get another tin of Roses LOL

looking good so far,a little tip for you Woody,when glueing up an unfinished piece,I smear a little wax either side of the crack to stop the glue discolouring the wood either side of the crack and the waxed piece can be turned away after so a finish of choice or sealer can be used,regards,

Eric.
