This bowl had taken me a month of on and off turning. Not because it was hard to did it between spells of feeling OK to do it.
The wood is Catalpa and Turquoise. I got the Turquoise from EBay on 15.5" strings for $1.77 each and got 5 of them.

As most of the time. Three coats of Tru Oil and Beall buffing system. On getting the stone crushed I used 12" of black pipe and end caps on both ends. I sanded off the one end flat so it would crush the stones better and they not fly out. I then used a 2" black pipe end and turned some 2" x 8" red oak and then glued a 8"x12" red oak board to the bottom. In the center made of the red oak I turned a hole to hold the cap and then epoxied it all in. Then I used a hammer on top of the 1" pipe to crush it.
I will add a picture of it tomorrow.

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
