The first one.

[DaveL]

Well having got the new lane setup,I just had to try it out. Found a large bit of unknown wood.

Cut it almost round.

Screwed on a face plate ring.

and turned the outside of the bowl.

I cut a tenon, which you can't see in the pictures, reversed to clear the inside.

Any one have an idea of what the wood is? It is very oily, the shavings clumped when I stood on them. When I sanded, there was no cloud of dust produced, I had little rolls of dust held together by the oil. I used a rag with finishing oil to clean them off the surface.

The inside is done, so remount to finish the bottom.

Button jaws care great for this, I turned the base to remove the tenon and finished with finishing oil after a quick sand.
OK so the finished picture is missing, I'll have take other and post it later. [emoji615]

Nice.

Something tells me whatever you are using to post with is using predictive text... unless you really did do it with a lane setup

Now look at what you have done, you got all that new set up dirty. Great bowl and finish looks good

Hi DaveL

Good job there.
From the waste in the picture it is reminiscent of a form of Teak.
If this is the case it may always have a matt finish look and will need oiling maybe once a year.
Leave it out of direct sunlight.

Nice Dave, you must be very pleased with the new lane

 

[DaveL]

So here is the finished bowl.

And of course I could not stop at one [emoji3]

This is sycamore, side view.

I really like the grain on this.

Finish on this is just a quick rub with micro crystalline wax, I use this as it does not change the look of the wood but it does help stop the finger prints.

the oily dark wood is very likely Teak.
