Bowl # 102

You are lucky, you have acces to lot of different trypes of woods in small amounts. Hre you must buy 1 cubic meter or nothing! Nice shape this time also.

Interesting bowl Jim. I hate when I don’t know the species of wood it is and this one is cool. Very nice polish job on it. I ‘m finally going to take the plunge this week on a buffing system. Tired of drills and doing it by hand.

Pretty bowl. I like both the grain pattern in the wood and the shape of the bowl.

Jim, this bowl is beautiful; it’s another nice piece from your lathe.

Wow Jimmy, that’s beautiful. It almost looks painted. Hopefully someone will know what wood that is. I wonder if anyone at Woodcraft would know.

nice work as usual,beautiful wood

That’s real nice, Jim. 5000RPM? You’re an extremist. I sometimes worry that Shellac is gonna ignite at around 2000. I’d like to get some EEE and Shellawax. What’s the EEE made of?
And, a DT3, to boot. Yay on ya.

Thank you all for the nice comments! I sure love to share my work on here .

Hi Ivan. I sure wish we lived closer! I could supply you with a never ending supply of wood for free. people drop off logs all the time and I Have a pile covered in front of the barn from last fall that I have not addressed yet!!. do they cut down trees around you where you could snag some of the wood?

Hi Dave, if you are getting a buffing system, look at Beall. I bought their wheels that came with the compound and I made a long 8” arbor to attach the wheels to so they would e far away from the head!

Hi Patti. I gave the other half of this log to Chris Peterson and he did not know what it was. I still have a second bowl from this wood roughed out. After I finish turn it, your yarn bowl is next!!

Hi Mark. I never thought I’d use the 5000 rpm on that new Nova lathe, but I did. It sounds like a jet engine at that speed! Good thing there no loose pieces in that wood!
EEE ( Triple E) is a play on words for Tripoli polishing compound in a paste form. If you sand to 400, the tripoli polishes it to somewhere between 1600 and 2000 and then the Shellawax is a friction polish the brings the sheen way up and gives it a buffed feel.
On the next bowl , I’m going to try the Mylands friction polish at that speed to see the difference. I will use the EEE first like I did here.

Cheers, Jim
