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.

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.

Impressive, those colors really pop out.

Nicely done.  Great colors too.

That's gorgeous!

 

I usually turn my bowls using the chuck's expansion mode 

Nicely done! Nice shape on that.

Really well done!  Beautiful colors and the finish looks perfect.  Nice.

Thanks everybody. I will have to look up expansion mode to see what that is.

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.

I like it well done.

Beautiful bowl Rusty.  Haven't see you around lately, glad to see that you are still practicing the craft.

Thanks. 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.
