I have had a most wonderful day doing this bowl the log is one of many Terry gave me your a diamond mate it is something I thought I would never be able to do again and to be honest it did bring a tear to my eye this is the type of thing I love to make and this one will always be very special to me.
Violet has fallen in love with it so it will most definitely be staying the only problem now is I still have some bigger logs were do you stop maybe try the next size up LOL
When I got this one out yesterday one side of it had been cut with a chain saw from both sides and the cuts didn't line up so there was a step in the middle so I used a power plane to remove it much quicker than doing it on the lathe all of the outside was done with a bowl gouge and the start of removing the inside then I used he Sorby Sovereign Ultima system to remove the rest of the inside I do love my hobby I will show the finished bowl in a few days
I have just come back in as a tool mark showed up with the first coat of oil so back on the lathe before it moved to much job done tool mark removed just proves no matter how long you have been turning it can still happen but worst it can still get past you till you start to apply the finish I hope you enjoy my wonderful experience
This one is for Terry just to show how nice it was to turn and some of the fine shavings
