Wood Turning

Woodturning an Eccentric Alien Egg Cup Type Thingy

I was trying to think of an easier way of turning off center, and thought I’d try to set my jaws to one side of the chuck. This way I maintained a firm hold on my blank as I made my cuts. Plus, I found that adjusting it was relatively simple once I got the hang of it.

Spalted oak bowl

I found the log in a ditch beside the road, cut off a piece about a foot long, put it in the lathe, and this came out of it, the little holes are the funny story. I thought my face shield was getting hit by water, then I stopped the lathe and all these worms were coming out of it. To finish it I used beeswax missed with mineral oil. Ended up getting two bowls abut 10 inches by 12 inches and a 10 in platter out of it.
