I have been just having a string of bad luck.
The maple one I hope can be salvaged. It is a bowl I got help on last week. The advice ws great. Yesterday I managed to send it flying. The MDF chuck tore just below the base layer. I was able to turn a wood chuck for it and glued it back together and started turning this morning and broke it off again. I had turned the top layer true and was cleaning up the inside. This time it broke in the veneer layer . I had made a venner layer from 2 pieces of black veneer and a piece of holly I cut on the band saw. This is first time I had used venner. I glued the veneer layers with the grain going the same way and gloed the to the base in the same manor. Is that correct? I was just going to mount the top of the bowl in the cole jaws and clean the veneer of the bottom ring. Hopefully I can get this back together straight again. Any advice would the appreciated.
Thanks.
