Wednesday's Wisdom For Woodturners October 23, 2024

[lew]

Hope this Wednesday finds everyone doing well.

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

Member @Gordon posted a question about a problem he has had during the second turning of a twice turned bowl. He has noticed the wall thickness is not consistent around the perimeter of his bowls. 

Please check his post and see if you can offer some suggestions.

 

Gordon also gave us a peek and an awesome maple score he managed!

 

More images and some suggestions from our turners, here-

 

 

 

@Masonsailor will be sharing his turning knowledge. He is having a segmented bowl class and showed us some of his prep work-

 

Looks like this is going to be a fun class. Hope on over to Paul's post and check out the segment work!

 

 

@HandyDan got a real jump on this year's family Christmas ornaments! He made a few really nice candles/holders-

 

In Dan's post he provided some background on the amazing colors he used-
