Hi all.
This is my second completed bowl from wood turning class.
It's Oak, about 6 inches in diameter and 2 tall. Finished at 400 grit, sanding sealer and then a couple of coats of Woodwax 22.
Any and all comments welcome...
I personally think I put too much wax on the inside and I'll have to spend some more time buffing.
I like the shape of the outside but the inside is too shallow. I thought the chucking recess was deeper than it is so stopped quite a bit short of full depth. Maybe 1/2 inch.
Also we still don't have anything but a simple chuck and face places to work with so I don't know how to get rid of the chucking recess. Any ideas?
What would you recommend or sharpening my turning tools? I've got a simple high speed grinder but just the plain wheels.
I'm getting to quite like this wood turning lark! I've even got an order for a salad bowl from a friend of the wifes!
Edit : Got the photos working.
