| Registered User Forum King  |  Silktree Natural Edge Here are my first two natural edge bowls I finished this past week. The first one I goofed and my gouge caught the edge and busted off 80% of the bark. So I went ahead and finished turning it. I burnt the edge before putting the finish on. The second one has the bark on it. They both turned out pretty well for being the first I have ever attempted. The first one is finished with Miniwax Tung Oil and the second with Waterlox. I still have one more coat to put on them. |

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King  | Very NICE Bernie  Have you every tried to turn IronWood ?, It's great stuff. but it's hard to find and when you do it's not cheap, it's one of the woods you ask your mates to go in on 1/2 of it or part(s) of it.. (to share the cost )http://cgi.ebay.com/IRONWOOD-Huge-1-...QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/IRONWOOD-large-1...QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/IRONWOOD-Huge-1-...QQcmdZViewItem ------------ Silktree ▼ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silk_Tree http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silk_Tree#Description Bj

 It was just another mini for now, but has the VS. Going to keep the little red brother for the Beall buffing system. If I progress well enough with my skills, I will add a 'big boy" later down the road, but for now the mini is all I really need. It took almost 2 moths of soul searching to come to this conclusion and I feel pretty good about it at this time. Time will tell if this will be enough to satisfy the turning appetite

| Retired Moderator Supreme Forum King | Sweet and congrats buddy. Those are great lathes! You know that lathe is better than some of the bigger budge lathes when you add the extention to it. I have decided a mini just fits my bill for what I do and when I do decide to upgrade the lathe ( at least 3 years as long as Red is still going) I will go with that new General mini. Sweet lathe! Again, congrats Bob! corey |
