I've been working on the house, so I haven't gotten much shop time lately.
I finally got back to my catalpa bowl. Sanded out the tearout. Put on 3 coats of General Finishes (which I've always liked). My wife inspected it and pronounced it good.
Then I proceeded to turn the thing into a funnel when I parted it off. Ugh. I'll be more than happy for you to believe it didn't happen since I didn't post a pic.
Gonna get back on the horse after dinner. I have a chunk of something or other I can use for a bowl blank. Once I try that one, I'm tapped out. I'm gonna have to stock up on bowl blanks. Hmm, I sense a trip to Lumber Logs...
I may also have to start thinking about one of those lathe chuck things that grip the wood (don't you love it when I get technical?). My 3" faceplate is probably going to limit me some.
Once again into the vortex, dear friends...
