    A Little Redwood

    First time I ever turned redwood. Kind of soft, but I still like it.

    15" x 3" platter or shallow bowl. Light figure. BLO and POLY finish, only one coat so far.

    Sorry that second picture's so big.... don't know why.... The other one sized okay.

    Adam the shallow bowl looks awesome. That is some nice work.

    Adam - The bigger the picture the better. Especially when it has such wonderful figure as this one does. I like it. A lot.

    Beautiful! Just curious, is that some redwood that was meant to be turned or is it some redwood that came from a board like you could buy at Home Depot or something?

    Great job. I love red wood. I have question for ya. did it turn well? I have only turn very small chunks of for bird house and found it to be soft and it come apart easy. Now that could just be the stuff I was working with. What did you think?

    looks beautiful! Great job. I am interested in what the others asked also concerning hardness and turnability. I like the big picture also.
