Popular Post Gary Beasley Posted March 14, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I finally picked up this piece of end grain pecan that had been lounging on a table next to the bandsaw and decide it was time for it to shine. One thing about end grain turnings is you have to cut in the opposite direction you would if turning a side grain piece. You also dont get long shavings off the wood, just crumbles. After the final shaping with the negative rake scraper I sanded from 100 grit all the way up to 2000 grit. Then I wiped on a good layer of Watco Teak Oil. Really brings the chatoyance out in the grain. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Nice work this makes me envious, I wish i had some nice wood turned bowls. I wish i had a turning friend that I could trade projects with. I have some cool pieces of firewood that would make interesting bowls but i have zero interest in trying to turn that stuff.
