Montserrat Posted December 31, 2017 Report Posted December 31, 2017 As a German friend said, turning on the lathe wastes so much wood, that you could make so much more out of. So I scrolled these two thingies yesterday and finished them on the lathe. Now being a total turning novice, they are not quite as great as I would have liked. But I am quite happy with the outcome. The woods are hickory, cherry and mahogany. Scrolling Steve, Phantom Scroller and lawson56 3 Quote
GPscroller Posted December 31, 2017 Report Posted December 31, 2017 Looks good to me. Did Steve Goode's stacking puzzle a few years ago and thought I would clean up their roundness on the lathe. Let's just say the results were a bit wonky. Lesson learned, measure and mark centre BEFORE cutting circles and mounting on lathe Jeff Montserrat 1 Quote
Montserrat Posted December 31, 2017 Author Report Posted December 31, 2017 I am not quite sure if my tools were not sharp enough but I tried to cut a bead into the larger bowl and I could not make an impact. Or is Mahogany simply too hard to even try? GPscroller 1 Quote

Lucky2 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Posted January 1, 2018 Nicely done Monti, it was probably dull tools. Mahogany wood isn't very hard, so it takes a sharper tool to do a good cut with. Len Montserrat 1 Quote
