Project Information
This is the second batch of bowls from my neighbor's apple tree. I have 7 more and 2 of them are questionable if they will survive with the cracks and hollow areas. There must have been 23 blanks in the chips !!
In the first shot, the 2 on the left in the back row were finished withe Danish oik and buffed and waxed. One had a hole in it and most of these warped after turning.
The 2 on the right were the once in the last 3 shots and they were fractal burned and clear lacquered. I decided to lacquer them because they were rough from the wetting and did not buff out good. Those two were twins when I burned them with a one sided burn on each one when I clamped them together.
The 4 in the front row were turned today and finished with EEE and Shellawax. They came out lighter and shinier without the Danish oil. I did not see any warp in these as they went through the microwave in the morning and stayed round after turning.
Below is a shot of the two twin bowls being fractal burned:
Cheers, Jim
