Called the bowl done today, after getting tired of the long cure times with Tried and True Varnish Oil and switching to Birchwood Casey TruOil gunstock finish on the outside. I think it came out looking pretty good. #WoodTurning #Resin

43 views Inspired by @Tamami’s Painting Giveaway, I’m going to give away a small wooden box I made. 5 x 4½ x 4½ inches. Made from pernambuco and elm. Don’t enter if you can’t handle imperfection. Not exportable! Simply like this post. You must be following me when I draw on Monday, November 25, 2024 when I wake up for the day (~6am MST). I'll contact the winner for a mailing address, and ship before Thanks

Another morning working on the bowl. This morning was almost entirely card scraper work, though there was a little sandpaper for a few spots. Then a coat of 50-50 tung and orange oil. I’ll let that dry, give it another inspection and then on to the bulk of the finishing if all is well. More deets in the alt-text. #woodWorking #Finishing #FinishingPrep

This morning, I spent another hour and change finish-turning the outside of the bowl, then going back and filling the tiny cracks from the juniper drying with purple cosmetic mica and CA glue. This combination ends up being harder than the juniper wood (I might’ve said this was chokecherry earlier; I was confused), so when I sand off the excess, I’m still left with a tiny ridge. Not really visible

A nice little bit of news from #NewMexico this morning. Not so nice for the rest of the country, though.

Got a session out in the shop this evening. Rough-hollowed the bowl so that I can finish turn it maybe next week. It gets the weekend for the epoxy to cure and the wood to finish drying, and possible crack some more. I also might decide to… ★ 7

Third, and hopefully final epoxy pour complete. A total of 5 oz (150ml) of epoxy resin was used, which is less than most of my pours.
