I've had a busy couple of days. I realized that I have way too many bowls at home so I'm taking some to put on my desk at work. The big one is from some free lumber I got a few weeks back. It's several big slabs of mahogany (I think) that have been glued together. Two of these have been burned on the outside. One is sycamore and the other (with the large grain) is ash.
Playing around with shapes again. This one was an experiment with a gradually tapered wall thickness that is about 1/4" thick at the base and gets thinner as you move up. It's made of ash and is finished with sanding sealer, Ack's paste, and O.B. Shine Juice.
This one was kind of a failure in that the shape that I was experimenting with worked a lot better in my head than in real life, where it ended up looking more like an ashtray than a plate. Also, it cracked on the edge of the mortise on the underside but I think I can fix it with CA glue.
I got some recording in this weekend.
I decided to try making a plate, which I had surprisingly never done. The edge was so sharp that I sliced my finger open when my hands slipped as I was sanding. I had to break the edge back a bit. I also used O.B. Shine Juice on this. I am really digging this finish. I want to thank @dougmooreii for introducing me to this and Capt Eddie Castelin for sharing this formula with the world.
Here's another turning from a piece of spalted maple I got from @cindyseger77 . I also got to try out O.B. shine juice for the first time, which I really like.
Working on a new song with @higginbotham.ethan . This is going to be a fun one to add percussion to.
I'm trying out a new finish on a piece of (what I think is) spalted maple. This was some pretty punky wood that ended up flying off the lathe three times.
I officially started production on my first skillshare class, Woodworking for Desk Jockeys. This class is aimed at people who spend their workdays sitting behind a desk but want to start woodworking as a hobby. This is a behind-the-scenes shot showing the lighting and camera setup.
