Some good stuff this week from The Patriot turners!

 

@Cliff Is finishing up a live edge bowl. It looks really nice. 

 

 

Stop on over at Cliff's post and check out some more images-

 

 

@John Morris posted a question about turning a burl. Specifically, should it be turned green or dry. He received several answers to his question. Check out his post and add your experiences to give John a hand.

 

 

@Steve Krumanaker alerted us to the passing of Bihn Pho, turner/artist extraordinaire. I had not known of his work but after checking out the link in Steve's thread I realize the world has lost a truly gifted artist. Just as extraordinary, are the obstacles Mr. Pho had to overcome.

 

Please take a few minutes to learn about Mr. Pho-

 

 

 

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned the new Easy Wood Micro Turning Tools. Here are two videos (Part 1 & 2) of these tools in use, turning a small bowl. 

 

 

The second part of the series illustrates decorating the bowl with wood burning tools-

 

 

The Woodworkers Journal "eZine" this week had a link to an Ernie Conover turning video. In this video, Mr. Conover demonstrates you don't need a scroll chuck in order to turn a bowl. I'm not sure I'd trust the reverse chucking jam chuck as far as he did. I could see my bowl going air born!

 

 

 Safe Turning

Good Job Lew! Thanks!
