London Plane
« on: July 08, 2015, 04:32:16 PM »
Playing with a piece of this and following Carl Jacobsons tutorial decided to make it more oblong and a bit of detail on the top - just a light sanding and rubdown with Danish Oil

Very nice did you cut it before or after turning.

Hi George - cut before turning it - nearly broke my fingers forgetting the sand the corners with the lathe stopped rule!

Thank you I suppose it might be safer to cut it after turning.

I agree with George about cutting afterwards. But if this is the size of the timber to start, bits of sacrificial scrap wood (cheap pine) could be glued to the edhes to square it up first.

But you've done well, for such a chunky shape, it looks right.

it was the size to begin with as he's been round and taken two carfulls of timber from me as i've realised that i'll never get round to turning most of it and i didn't want it to go up in smoke...
