Completed Olive bowl with turquoise
|
Surprise, It had a baby.... |
|
Mounted with revolving tail stock. |
Figured Olive wood bowl with turquoise inlays and a live edge. wood turnings, using a lathe, you can see mounted in a nova chuck. On the outside, I have filled the inclusions with real turquoise stone, and using "CA", thick glue to fill the recesses over the the turquoise and the entire exterior. I have used my shop made carbide chisel to remove the high portions of stone, and a lot of sanding to follow, starting with 150 grit. This will take at lease 10 3" disk on my air powered angle sander. I then will sand up to at least 800 grit, followed by my mixture of shellac/alcohol/ walnut oil.

Her you see the bowl with patches of "CA" glue as I add turquoise. |
Her is the picture of the preliminary shape with the tenon, before it went into an air kiln. It did warp a little, as suspected.
Here you can see it remounted with tail stock in place, and I have cored it, in order to get another smaller bowl, less waste you know....
