I threw a 8x8x2 piece of Yellowheart on the spinny thing and waa-laa, I came up with this square thing. Man these things are a bunch of work, knuckle busters.

Finish is fraction wax and polish, though that was a little tricky while spinny.

Great looking piece Scott. No way would I use friction polish on it, :eek: my hand still hurts from trying to sand the one I did last week. :p

Great job.

Square bowls are fun because there are so many ways one can go with them. I like the flowing lines of this one.

I can't even get the round ones to look good. Here you are turning square ones. Looks great.

Very nice, Scott! I'm really starting to get green with envy over all you folks having the opportunity to crank out such nice stuff on the spinny things! On the flip side, it gives me a bit of an incentive to get all those house to-do's going! :) Lookin' real good Scott! :cool:

Terrific Scott! Should be just the right thing for some Holiday candy.

Scott,

I think you are doing quite well of late on the lathe...turning out some great pieces! You really captured a nice, pleasing, flowing shape on this bowl and with a wood that is equally clean and clear. Sometimes wood can have too much figure!!

Thanks Chris, not bad for a cheapo Ridgid lathe. Until now, I had never turned Yellowheart and I think I may do some more with it.

Wes, all my work is one of a kind when it comes to the lathe. I'm lucky to get one piece looking good, let alone try and make matching pieces. Kind of why I have not tried turning chess pieces yet.

I really need to make some xmas gifts, but each time I make one the wife says... sorry, not giving that one, we're keeping it. I guess I should start turning 2x4's :D .

Super nice Scott. Looks like a keeper. Bring it to the KC wood show breakfast and let us eyeball it over.
