Jason, another interesting play on wood turning! There are SO MANY ways to finish that! Its too bad you don't have a chance to try other methods.But this 'turned' out beautiful. That material is so hard to find,... that kind of old growth lumber, (100+years old) thats been milled maybe 100+ years ago to repurpose into something else from our American History.
@@NorthwestSawyer You said you wanted to have a black type of finish. I was thinking, you might have used a handheld propane torch, charred the bowl while on the lathe,the resin would have been lighter after sanding, then put a finish coat over it.
When I seen that block spinning around, it scared me from pa, you must have nerves of steel. beautiful end results what a talent, Jason.................. btim sw pa
Nice bowl, Jason. I think the finish was great. I know you can't unring a bell but apparently you can unturn wood (around 7:00). I also expected you to undrill a hole. Bill
I have never run a lathe before, but I think I would have cut the corners off before I started. Just a suggestion. You made a comment of maybe I will ruin it. You can never ruin it, just change from what you were expecting to a different treasure. Another suggestion. You should make some sort of jig to use with your router for the plate you screw on. That way you get a even surface for the plate. Remember these are suggestions from a lay person. Any way you look at it, it is a great looking piece.
That turned out amazing always trust your instincts even when others may not agree with it don't know how many times I really didn't like my work but everyone else loved it well done sir.
@@NorthwestSawyer incomes as a kit you get a jar of the sanding paste then a jar of the wax it's good stuff and made here in the states by a fellow woodturner.
Jason, there are sanding discs called STERATED /NOFIL they will be blue or white in colour, designed to not clog with resinous timber ,paint or varnish.
Jason, that was exciting to watch, I was holding my breath that it would not explode like the osage orange. It looks beautiful. When I sent it to you you I never expected any thing in return, I just wanted to see what could be done with it, but I am thrilled you are gifting it to me. Thank you! How about some ancient Eel river Sycamore next? John
Yep, somebody ought to invent 'smelavision' for all those aromatic woods. I'll bet John will be happy to get this. Thanks for the time to put this video up Jason.
