Wonderful turning and finshing. :D

On the paint where did you get it from?

I am saving my $$$ so I can get turning again.

My first response is this is red elm because I have use a lot of it before. Another wood it could be is Big Leaf Maple from out west.

Arlin

All I can say is WOW Just WOW. How many hours did it take for carving and for painting?
Arlin

First thing you should do is find out if there is a turning club where you live. They can help you in so many ways we could not.

All I can think of is the bowl was getting hot. I had that happen a few times when sanding.

I also have the Bionix face shied and I would rather have the bubble one. It has more room in front and still blocks shavings.

Arlin

Nicely done for sure. I am thinking you did it in 3 pieces is that right?

I really like them and the bird houses are fine too.

Siberian Elm has always been a great looking wood. Well done

Arlin

Well done. I love working with Black Walnut.

Arlin

Lovely wood and good turning.
It is the knot that caused it. It is harder wood and works down slower, however, it makes for great turning

I have always wondered how they worked. They were always way more then I could afford for my 6". I did see a Youtube on someone using one and it was razor sharp and the edge lasted longer then...

I told that to my daughter also to only serve salad in it no dressing. I am in the making of 8 serving bowls for her as soon as I get another lathe.

I have an account at CW and have talked to people there also. Problem is I just do not have the ability to understand it. Just like turning, I have to have someone show me several times to do it. ...

What David said

I may have put 15 coats on but if you remember buffing takes afew off so there is about 10 or so.

There never should be any knives in a wooden bowl anyway. I made spoons for...

Thank you Steve.

The more I am on here the more I learn. One thing, it seems the site will not keep up with me typing and have to go back and retype letters all the time.
Arlin

I am having the same problem. Like it is not keeping up with me typing so I have to retype some letters again and again.

All of this is several months old. I have not been able to turn due to Injury in the middle east and I have to wait until I get another lathe

I do not know how this are attached in order so when...

I have a few scrapers from 1/2" to 1 1/2" in either round nose and square nose or Side grind.

I tried a negative rake scraper when Rudy Lopez was at our club and it was a JOY to use. :)

It is...

That is sure one nice lathe and would love to have one, but $2300 is a lot for me to pay right now.
Arlin

Ted
That sure is a nice rebuild and nice old lathe too. Good job

Arlin

PS - It looks like that lathe can have inserts under the headstock and tail stock to raise it up for a higher swing.
