Today is Neils second day of three and he said he likes a challenge and as he was enjoying working with wet wood we decided he would make a Bert Marsh inspired piece .
This piece is turned wet from the same Beech log as yesterdays piece.
This was quite challenging for Neil as it was way out of balance but perseverance and hard work payed off and he has made a beautiful form.
Here are a few pics from today .
This is a big lump
Starting to get into balance
That was not easy
Spigot and waste area ready for turning
Starting to hollow with 10mm Bowl gouge
That looks good
Due to the depth Neil found it easier to work with the Crown Tools Midy revolution in the bottom
Lath is stopped and lemon oil is applied with lathe stopped
Doesn't he look pleased with himself
That is a beutiful piece Neil
