I've been woodworking a while, but am really new to turning. I've been watching a few video's on Dizzy Bowls and realized that they are more woodworking than turning, so I decided to give it a try .. I have it roughed out .. and realize .. I'm gonna have to turn this thing.
Here are the pics .
Yes.. I went heavy on the glue .. Its Lepages Exterior.. I actually used about 1/2 of a 500ml bottle.
Glue on my jointer .. I didn't see it till this photo..
The wood is all scraps..
Its Maple, Purple Heart, Wenge, Mahogany, Afromosia
I decided to cut the slabs at 12mm and sand to 10mm
I cut the first circle with the bandsaw, and the rest of the circles with a Jig saw. My bandsaw has a 1" blade and it won't really track anything less than 1/2" .. So it was 40 minutes with a Jigsaw.
