I don`t get the opportunity to turn just for fun much these days due to work commitments, but this afternoon whilst turning the planks & generally tidying my wood store I came across a piece of apple, which if I`m honest I can`t remember cutting, but as it looked like a fun piece to turn I can only imagine I thought that same thing when chain sawing the tree.
This is it mounted on the lathe ready to spin.
After much fun & a little fighting I ended up with a 8" x 6" x 2 1/2" high bowl
I`d have liked to go a little thinner with the wall thickness but a fault started to show through seen near the rim at the back of the bowl & I was worried I could loose the back rim.
That said it was good to get a bit of fun time at the lathe, must do it more often.
Cheers.
