July 11, 20196 yr Popular Post I made a new bowl. I am pretty sure the lighter wood is Maple and the rings are Cedar and Bloodwood. It is around 7 inches in diameter. I sanded it to 800 and finished it with beeswax.
July 11, 20196 yr Looking good here. See you are using expansion mode. I have been doing a lot more of that of late. I still sometime get too aggressive but no problems that did not turn out.
July 11, 20196 yr Author Thanks everybody. I will have to look up expansion mode to see what that is.
July 11, 20196 yr Author Ok I got it now. On the smaller bowls I think I will try a tenon instead. I had a small catch and a piece of the bottom broke out. I glued it back on and it is hard to see so I got lucky.
July 15, 20196 yr Beautiful bowl Rusty. Haven't see you around lately, glad to see that you are still practicing the craft.

Been busy so haven't done much. I have had it glued up for around a month and it was killing me so I made time to go turn it. I have been coming in and reading often but not posting much. I have one more glued up to turn. I will try to get to it soon.
