Way too quiet in this forum the last few days. Here are a couple of turnings finished last week.
The star bowl is white oak, walnut and live oak and just under 12" wide. This was my first attempt at gluing up this design. Proved quite challenging and you can see one wide joint in the white oak. I did not have any more white oak thick enough to remake one or both of those pieces.
The small bowl is ash complete with borer holes. The wedges were drops from making a second star bowl being made with ash and cherry. I pulled the wedges out of the trash and did a test fit. The fit was good so I glued them and turned a 7" wide bowl. Left the frass in the worm holes and soaked it with CA which stained the surrounding area. In the picture the bowl is still on the lathe with no finish started.
