New Gallery

[George Foweraker]

Hi All

Today I have received an order to supply a new Gallery that is opening in about three weeks time so i have to start making some new pieces.
Here is the first piece it was rough turned about a year ago it is approx 8" x 8" sanded to 600 grit and buffed of the lathe.

Regards George

Could you please give some detail on how you rough turn hollow forms.
Most of mine are turned wet and thin and I just leave them to warp but it would be good to get some round ones! How thick do you leave the walls - is it the usual 10% as for bowls?
And I assume that you don't leave the pith in. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Sometimes I drill it out and fill the hole in later. If you left it in I guess there's more chance of a split.
