Popular Post Gary Beasley Posted August 15, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Black walnut bowl about 7” across from a chunk Ricky sent me.

Chestnut Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Beautiful work i also like the touch of sapwood in the bottom. That must be cow pee walnut the color looks awesome. Hope the flavor doesn't come through . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Beasley Posted August 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Heres the other half of the walnut chunk. and heres what Ive done so far. Just got through sanding the outside, need to take the faceplate off and mount it in the chuck for hollowing the inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gary Beasley Posted August 19, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 I have the inside finished out and a coat of Osmo buffed on to it. Still to go is removing the tenon and shaping the base.You might notice the cracks filled in on the sides. Some were there before turning, one nasty one appeared between sanding the outside and turning the inside. Had to go back and fill that then scrape the glue ridges down with a card scraper the hit it again with 320 grit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark J Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 I couldn't imagine how I would manage of them. But now cut down to a big square with centered grain and carefully dried.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gary Beasley Posted September 27, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Just finished off a curly maple bowl I’d been dawdling over between trips. Its 14” across and stands 5” tall. I got to try out some Hampshire Grit I picked up at the symposium. Its not magic stuff, you still have to make a good quality surface before using it but it gives the wood a nice feel. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 Nice, I particularly like the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkinneb Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Gary not sure how long you have been working on the craft but your work has always been nice and is getting better with each new piece! I really like this one. Great wood choice and I am digging the lip at the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Beasley Posted September 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I’ll let you in on a little secret. It started out with a completely turned in rim. I couldn't get the cut under the rim clean without tearout and was deciding I didnt like the look of it anyway so when I got back from the symposium I cut the rim back so I could get the proper angle to shear the end grain inside. I didnt like a flat rim so I left just a little undercut and gave it the double beveled angle you see. Thanks for the compliments, means a lot from you folks!

Popular Post Gary Beasley Posted January 23, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Back in the shop today. Ive been working on a black walnut root ball sourced locally and Ive rough turned and cored five bowls out of that root ball of varying sizes. This is an example of the color and grain I found. After shaking the sawdust out I mounted up a curly maple platter from a scrap Ricky gave me. I have the shaping done and sanded to 120 and a coat Of sanding sealer. Thats enough for the day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
