Montserrat Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share 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. lawson56, Scrolling Steve and Phantom Scroller 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPscroller Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montserrat Posted December 31, 2017 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
