    a few turnings

    Been a while since I have posted any work, so here is a few turnings that I have compleated in the past few months.

    1st is a Curly Maple Hollow Form
    Finish is 2 coats of Watco and 2 coats of Gel Poly, buffed with the Beall.
    Measures 7" wide X 3 3/4" tall

    2nd is a Spalted Ambrosia Maple Hollow Form
    Measures about 8" wide 7" tall.
    2 coats of Gel Poly, buffed with the Beall.

    3rd is a Curly Maple Hollow Form
    This hollow form has curl that almost surrounds the entire piece. It came from the stump of a Silver Maple.
    Measures 10 1/4" tall with the finial and 6 1/4" without it and is 5" wide, finish is wipe on poly and buffed on the Beall!

    4th is a Ambrosia Maple Hollow Form
    Measures 8"wide X 7 1/2" tall
    Finish is wipe on Gel Poly and buffed on the Beall, then a coat of Renaissance wax.

    5th is a set of Bradford Pear Natural Edge bowls
    I love working with Bradford Pear It turns and finishes so nice and you can get it glass smooth! These two bowls came from the same blank the larger one measures 8 1/2" x 3 1/2" smaller measures 6" x 2 1/4" finish is wipe on gel poly and buffed.
    Thanks for looking

              One of these days I'm going to get the tools and get around to trying some hollow forms, but for now I can just sit back and enjoy the great work of those who know what they're doing. Thanks for the post!

                  Those all look Great. I can't decide if I like any one over the others they just all look so nice.

                  Well done,

                  BobL.

                      Awesome work Jim. Thanks for posting. If I had to pick a favorite, which is difficult to do as they are all wonderful, I would have to choose the first one.

                      On the NE bowls, how does a person sand the "wings" of the bowl. I did grab the Sorby Multi tip tool, which I have not had the chance to try yet. Hopefully this will help some with end grain tear out on walnut. For sanding, I placed a foam pad behind the sand paper to help the flapping of the sand paper and it is helping. But with the insides the foam/paper combo is difficult to use due to small working area - plus the fear factor with those "wings" whipping around. I guess I could always hand sand or maybe use a detail sander these areas too (with lathe turned off of course).

                      Thanks in advance!
                      Steve
