Hollow form

Postby Dalboy » 30 Apr 2019, 18:54

Glad to have my lathe back up and running, it seems strange as I knew by the sound how it was behaving but now the motor is so quiet.
Started out with a very uninteresting piece of wood and was going to use black stain to enhance the grain that is there but did not get the desired effect so went back to natural. I did find a split so repaired this using various woods and finished off with a finial to echo the repair but not sure I like it may just have to change it.
The problem is the wife likes it.
The main body is Field Maple the inserts are Walnut, Ironbark and African Blackwood. The finial is the same three kinds of wood with the addition of some American black walnut.
The finish is acrylic sander sealer topped with an acrylic satin top coat

Very nice Derek. At what point and how did you drill the holes for the repair?
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Thank you all.

Andy I had turned the outside when I found the crack so drilled and filled at that stage doing each one and let it dry before doing the adjacent one. Then skimmed over and hollowed

That acrylic finish looks good on turned stuff; dries quickly as well which is a bonus - Rob

How did you hold the bowl while drilling what must be perpendicular holes.

Sorry for the late reply but been away for the weekend. Thank you all for the comments

I made a pad up with a cloth to cradle the form and then held it by hand.

I’d be concerned that I would not be able to hold the form firm enough by hand.

If it had been a square item I certainly would not have held it by hand. I can understand people concerns
