Kohuhu II

Robbie Graham — Thu, 17 May 2012 18:31:04 -0700

by: Robbie Graham

Description: Kohuhu 2 Wood: Matai and driftwood Texture: Pyrography Length: 380mm (15") I turned this piece using waste wood to create the three sides instead of turning on three axis. I could get the wall thickness even this way with out having to carve the inside. The process needs refining and think it will be a lot easier next time. C & C welcome

Description: Ash lidded box - more demo practice This one is ash.........I like ash, because of the grain figure. I want to give a shout out to Mike Stafford.....I saw a similar form on his website........I do not know if it is his original design.........I think I may have seen some of Richard Raffan's boxes in this style also.........so credit for inspiration goes to both of them.....thank you gentlemen! My intent......different styles, different woods to pass around at the demo in July..........C & C welcome! This one stands 4-1/16 inches high and is 2.75 wide.

Domed lidded Cherry Box

Roger Chandler — Tue, 15 May 2012 12:41:58 -0700

by: Roger Chandler

Description: Cherry Lidded box - demo practice Here is another lidded box I turned today.......again this is one for the demo in July to show along with making one. I will make several of these to pass around to show the different styles and woods, as well as some holding with a tenon and some with a recess.........this one I did with a tenon. The box is a dome shape ........I made a smaller one some months ago and my wife really liked it, so this is similar to it...........5-5/8" tall and 2-3/4" wide. Finished with General Finishes Wood Turners Finish. Comments always welcome. Now that I have this off the lathe............I wish in retrospect that I had just made a simple knob for the top instead of the stepped one........it would have looked better IMO.............I guess that is why it is practice.........an error in design which could have been avoided with a sketch prior to putting tools to wood!

778-1 Spalted Pecan

odie — Sun, 13 May 2012 19:35:04 -0700

by: odie

Description: 778-1 Spalted Pecan, 8 1/4" x 2 3/4", thin wall, sand to 400, Danish oil natural, Beale buff, preserved with hard Carnauba wax. Basic bowl block was a very wet 36 percent MC. Bowl was roughed out and completely anchorsealed on Jan 29, 2011. After three months seasoning, bowl developed a severe case of grungy looking mildew, so I had to return it to the lathe and re-turn to a roughed state without the mildew......almost lost this bowl, but the re-turn worked.....now no mildew present. Overall the roughed bowl took 14 months to stabilize the moisture content. The bowl sat around for a few months, because I couldn't decide what shape I wanted, and how to do it, but was finished turned on May 5, 2012. The bowl has 9 separate surfaces, so detail sanding was required. Also sports 5 detail grooves along the rim. Foot was completed with my "signature" configuration and my stylized logo made from my initials. Thanks ooc

787-1 Birdseye Maple

odie — Sat, 12 May 2012 00:59:04 -0700

by: odie

Description: 787-1 Birdseye Maple, 5 1/2" x 1 7/8", thin wall, sand to 400, Danish oil natural, Beale buff, preserved with hard Carnauba wax. Raw bowl block was 22% MC. After roughing out and completely anchorsealing, the bowl took 6 months to stabilize the MC. Birdseye Maple is one of my favorite domestic woods. Such beautiful grain, and it turns and finishes superbly. It is extremely hard, as most Maple is, so sharp tools are a must for the best finish. I wish I could find more of this wood a bit larger, because I don't believe I've ever had any Birdseye Maple any larger than 8" wide. Still working on making perfect multiple detail grooves with perfect spacing. Maple takes a clean cut well, but extra effort to produce precise clean cuts is necessary. (Detail grooves show up much clearer in the next two photos) (To inspect details closer up, click on photo to enlarge.) ooc
