Greetings folks,
I think this might be my first post in the this section of the forum, so please be kind
After having the lathe out of use for over a year through our house move, I have warmed up by turning a few bowls. Although ive had the lathe for a few years now, I still consider myself firmly in the beginner category and would welcome any critique you may have.
There isnt much to say about them, except that they are bowls, finished with a coat of cellulose sealer and then microcrystaline wax. The coloured bowl was an attempt at something a little different, and although it isnt what I had in mind the spirit stains have come out not too badly. It also has the internal curvature I am most happy with of *any* bowl I have made - it is almost hemispherical, but tricky to see in the photos. I would like to say that the finish is straight off the tool, but I would be lying - a lot of sanding was done....
So, have a gander, and any suggestions etc are welcomed. Oh, and have a guess at the timbers - I havent listed them purposefully
Cheers,
Adam
