I like it a lot, but could you explain the significance of 'sanding with soapy water'? No something I have come across before.

Just be careful where the olive wood contacts the metal. The wood is quite corrosive.

    Thank you all for your kind comments......Bryan.... Tonys in the hut again got another 5 to do.

    Pete    I spray the soapy water continuously inside the piece as it is running fast, the centrifugal force forcing the detergent
               into the wood driving the ( sap...oil? ) out. I always wet sand with abranet the soap creates a froth rather than a sludge
               stopping the abranet clogging up. I then spray clean water in and spin until dry, then add a finishing oil. This system
               seems to work when turning wet olive wood...the shape stays with no distortion.
               
 
    Paul   I agree with you completely it plays havoc with my Tools always cleaning them after use. I find with using the soapy water
             to clean the wood it stops the corrosive elements, although this method only works on thin walled open vessels.

     Thank You Allan...ED...David...Eric...and Turners Cabin..For your kind comments.

      ED..I did have to ask Tony had he sneaked a colour on it or used a coloured bulb........It came from a piece that was near the base
            of the tree where there was a lot of disturbance.
      Thank again Guys......Di and Tony

That is stunning
and the sanding with soapy water thing goes onto my ( very long ) to try list.

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 ?
