Expand Your Horizons-

Happen to catch our local PBS airing of The Woodsmith Shop. It was a rerun from season 15 but the guest was Jimmy Clewes demonstrating his colored platter techniques. Here's the link to the Woodsmith site and information about the episode, including a PDF of the project.

New Turning Items-

Lots of sales but nothing new. Woodturners Wonders and Easy Wood Tools among others.

 

 

Everything Else-

Relatives left and I had a chance to complete a shallow table centerpiece bowl requested by a dear friend. Walnut, about 11.5" in diameter and 2.5" deep. Finished with mineral oil and beeswax. Engraved with my little Ortur laser.

 

 

 

 

 

Safe turning

 

 

Another awesome thread Lew.

 

Love your centerpiece bowl. Beautiful grain patterns. Excellent personalization touch too.

Thanks for the post Lew. That center piece looks great, did not know you had a laser.

Love the center piece bowl.  Thanks for this weeks info.

 Great looking bowl Lew, the finish really pops the grain.

Great looking center piece bowl Lew.

@Grandpadave52 Thank You!

 

@Gerald  Thanks! Had the laser for about a year. In retrospect, I should have gotten one with a larger engraving area. This is just about the largest piece I can get centered.

 

@HandyDan  Thank You!

 

@DuckSoup  Thanks!

 

@RustyFN  Thank You!
