Turning by a friend

[roger fischer]

Hello everybody


I visit a friend to learn how to make big cylinders with the cross support and new tools


Wood: walnut
Height: 67 cm
Diameter: 24 cm
Wall thickness: 1-3mm


It was sanded up to 400 grit
Bio pin hard wax oil was used for the finish


I hope you like it

Beautiful wood, Roger. Was it turned green? It looks like there was some interesting wood movement.

[roger fischer]

yes it was greenwood:-)

Very thin walls. Surprised it stayed in one piece for the final turning.

Good job!

I left a comment on the video, but if I had to guess, I would have said California Bay Laurel/Oregon Myrtle wood... He has more toys than I do...

I've never noticed him admitting where he's from, but I'm betting it is Europe. That is, I think an obscure US West Coast wood is unlikely. I wish he'd fill in his profile.

That color spectrum in Walnut is one I have never seen. Wondering if it it Persian/English walnut???

I found his web site. It has the .de ending, and is written in German.
