So this is my first attempt at turning anything besides a pen.
I found an old piece of Cherry burl, so I thought why not, I have to say I do not have a bowl gouge or a scraper so the challange was to make something with the three piece gouge set I bought to turn pens with a couple of years ago.
Had lots of catchs, took a little time to figure out how to do things with the tools I have, did kind of make a scraper out of a old railroad spike I had found hacksawed it off, used a file then grinder to try and put a hook on it, worked ok.
130897
130898
Not real happy with the end result but it didn't go into the wood stove so not a total loss. (love the wood stove to purge my mistakes.
2 coats of Watco Danish oil when done.
Please feel free to beat me onto the correct path lol
Thanks for your input
