Popular Post AndrewB Posted October 11, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Started off on a new project this morning. Got it in the works already. This one is turning out already 100 times better shaped it in a matter of minutes. Started sanding on it its only at 60 grit but that took care of pretty much all of the tool marks on the outside of the bowl so I'm quite happy with this one. I think I will keep working with the tung oil finish on it. It should work quite well... It did okay with the purple heart I just had to do three coats of it instead of one or two. But the main reason I dislike this type of wood is the danged orange dust it just gets every where. Glad I have an air compressor with a blower air blower piece. But this one is turning out quite nicely. HandyDan, Larry Buskirk, lew and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AndrewB Posted October 11, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Once again caked in orange dust from the padauk how ever its turning out nicely yet still. On the hollowing it just seems a bit awkward at the moment but its going some what smoothly. FlGatorwood, Cal, Gerald and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewB Posted October 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Wound up getting a nasty crack from sanding the bowl down. I was going to ask for suggestions on how to fix this how ever I just took the gouge and cut it down a half inch and it worked out fine how ever the bowl is a lot smaller than it normally would be oh well. Glad I wasn't recording that. p_toad, Larry Buskirk, FlGatorwood and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AndrewB Posted October 11, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Even with the mishalf of the cracked top of the bowl I managed to come out with something that looks quite nice its a lot smaller but still a nice looking bowl.

AndrewB Posted October 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Thanks I was a bit frustrated when the wall of the bowl decided it wanted to crack on me when sanding and that I had to basically chop off a half inch of the wall oh well crap happens. p_toad and FlGatorwood 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
