At Last

[Dalboy]

At last after the two previous turning attempts I have one good one also A good finish after my discussion with Terry (Chestnut Products) about the buffing system, just a shame it does not really show in the picture. Next job try and take some decent pictures. I am going to see if I can rescue the other two

Anyway made from beech and is 5 1/2" by 2" I had to get a bit creative with polishing the inside(note to self buy some small mops for the buffing system)

When you see a great looking bowl like that you wonder why we all obsess about getting them thin sometimes, really classy bit of turning highlighted by great finishing

Hi Derek

I've had the three wheel mop system for about 5 years now, since I first saw JR Beal advertise it, I polish everything I make on it, don't want to start an argument that already been had, but in my experience if you are selling your work or just giving it away to an appreciative audience then shiney is what they want. You can buff a bowl of that size, lower the revs and that will 'soften' the wheels, then I generally finish it off with a 3" lambs wool mop on a soft arbour in the drill, a bit cheaper and a lot less stuff lying around the place.
Regards
Kevin

Thanks guys. I am just playing with the buffing system at the moment I will not be getting everything shiney.
