This is made from the same log as my other post today, but shortly after I finished turning this one, it warped. :( This is a bit too large for my lathe, so I took it to a friend and he put it in his doughnut check, so I could finish the bottom. He brought the tailstock center too hard against the bottom, and nearly blew a hole thorugh it. :eek: I don't like the "belly button" on the bottom, but it is too thin to turn it out. :mad: I didn't have time to tung oil this one immediatly after turning, and that may have helped cause the warping. It is not finished in these pictures. I would like a critique of this one also. It is 9.5 inches wide, and 2.5 inches tall. Sanded to 800 grit and made from figured poplar.
Also, is it worth trying to re-turn it to fix the warping, or should I just leave it alone? :confused:
