Tiger Maple finished while still on the lathe with 6 coats of Minwax Satin Wipe-On-Poly and polished with Hut Ultra Gloss. Measures 6-1/2" X 2-1/4" with 1/4" wall thickness through out. Still don't have the correct chisels for bowl turning. Used my 1/2" roughing gouge and 1/4" round nose scraper. Will have to get the proper chisels for bowl turning on my next visit to LV. As always comments and or suggestions appreciated. Thanks for looking. Les    |

Now, that's what I call a gloss finish! Beautiful, Les. That's a spectacular piece of wood and you surely did well with it.

Les, amazing. Just don't let the corner of that roughing gouge catch, as it could break the gouge right off at the tang in the handle. I bet it's movin' alot more chips than the spindle gouge though.
Thanks,
Mark

Incredible Les! I love the finish on it and it is beautiful wood. And you certainly have a good eye for the shape of your bowls.

"Still don't have the correct chisels for bowl turning".
If you can do THAT with the wrong tools, there's no tellin' what you could do with the "correct chisels".
How long have you been turning bowls, Les?

How long have you been turning bowls, Les? Dave...... I have only turned a few bowls and lidded boxes just to try it a see what was involved. My main thing is pen turning. Les |
