To burn or not to burn

Postby Dalboy » 28 Aug 2017, 19:01

I thought that as I had finished the Half Track that I wanted to just do a simple piece of turning.
Looking for your thoughts on this in regards to the question below.
I keep looking at this bowl which is not yet finished foot still needs to be taken off and more cleaning of the edge. Would this be better to have the natural edge burnt using a pyrography machine, the wife say no but can't make up my mind. I've included a shot of the bottom just for interest.

Not to burn. Leave it as it is but clean up the foot. How you manage to turn something like that without it falling apart is beyond me.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Hard to say but gut is telling me that burning would ruin the look.

Thank you guys no burn seems to be the way forward. Have now turned the foot off.

Andy not as bad as you think as you can see from the outside being turned when turned the darker areas where taken out which helped give it support
