Now that I'm going back to school part time along with working a full-time job, I don't exactly have a whole lot of time for woodworking anymore. However, this afternoon I was able to spend a couple of hours in the shop and was able to turn this cherry bowl. It measures approximately 7" in diameter and 3.5" deep.
This was the first project I was able to use my Sorby Sandmaster with the sanding discs I ordered from Industrial Abrasives. I sanded it to 600 grit with the Sandmaster and then switched to the Micro Mesh and sanded to 12,000 grit. I finished it off with Shellawax Liquid Friction Polish and a coat of Renaissance Wax. The pictures really does not do the bowl justice (I really need to invest in a small photo booth.)
If anyone is interested, here is the link to the 2" H&L pads that work with the Sandmaster (http://www.riverweb.com:8002/(SessionID=1f34b5f459d20e2973eab8aab4bcb312)/01711.html) - the pads are only $5 per pack of 25.
It feels good to step away from the seriousness of school and work and do a little turning.
