Woodturnings, Freehand Router Carved Signs and other Woodworking Projects
I started working on this bowl the end of March. I put up a short asking my viewers to vote filled or not filled. The votes were overwhelmingly filled. And so began a month long saga. After using $100 worth of resin and many days…
I got tired of looking at this piece sitting on the shop floor so I decided to turn it. I like to turn natural edge when I can and this looked to be a good candidate. It has a few cracks that I filled with…
