Lovely wood and well turned by the look of it. Not easy turning with that split.

Nice one Ed. The shape really shows off the  grain.

I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?

The beauty within, captured by the creativity of the prefect form.

Stunning piece, Ed.  Well done.

Ed,

the way you're now handling changes in direction with you turning is coming together.

All I see missing in this is some Pampas Grass sticking out the top.

And I tried you CA finish the other day on a small Purpleheart pot, I'd had enough after that even with a powered respirator, can't even understand how you can do something this big!

thanks all for your comments and dr4g0nfly I tried a powered respirator once never again it just draws in the vapor. It's much better to use a paper dust mask and safety specs.

Ed... A dust mask is just that ... for DUST not vapour !!  very basic H&S  ,  and the fumes from CA are pretty bad with known problems caused ...

I agree a dust mask is a dust mask and designed for dust protection. But I found that using a basic dust mask is better than encapsulating yourself with a Trend Airflo helmet when using CA as a finish.
