My first turning in 14+ months - Arlin Eastman - 03-11-2018
and it is for the Mothers day sale with the hand made roses
It is Honey Locust, Black Walnut and Padauk
[attachment=9109]
I hollowed out the bottom first and then added the top and used a 1" forstner bit.
This is the first time I used Honey Locust and had surprising nice figure in it.
I will get a side shot tomorrow since I was not thinking of it but I put a cove in the middle of it with two burn lines which I made out of baling wire.

Arlin, that's spiffy. I like the honey locust and walnut contrast.

Very nice. What’s the finish you used?

I am going to change the finish to wipe on poly which holds up much better and over that I will put on a sun block of 85%.
What it is now is the three Beall buffs and then two coats of Renaissance wax which may look nice but does not hold up with a lot of handling.

Glad you're back in the shop. Nice work!

Thanks guys
This is the first time I did a hollow form. I hollowed out the bottom to 3/16" and then glued on the top. The top did have more Walnut on top of the Padauk and I thought just a little at the top would make it look nicer then just the Padauk on top.
I used the hollower that Tim Yoder sells. He gave it to us because it has a flaw, but I looked really well and no flaw so he just gave us a brand new one with all the do dads. I do not know if I told you in the past or not but he gave us all of his DVDs he sold or did on TV. He did a lot of neat stuff on them.

thanks Arlin! I'm workin' on it! I had 2 heart attacks & a lung enbolism in December. Recoup has been slow, but I'm gainin'. My scroll saws & lathes are goin' to be callin' my buddies & lookin' for some action if I don't get back out there soon!
And bein' stuck in this chair ain't doin' much for my disposition, either, Sir. I appreciate the kind words, Mr. Arlin!
