  • A Beech log that was cut about 3 years ago. It was packed full of potential and I am absolutely delighted that I stuck with it, as the soft patches were really concerning!
    A beautiful 6" x 2" (150mm x 50mm) Spalted Beech Bowl
    Thanks for watching.

      It was touch and go at times, but the result was much better than I expected. Thank 👍

    Very nice piece. Looks like the punky areas didn’t give you any trouble. A bit of thin CA works wonders for that. Super job!

    Fantastic Bowl, job well done. I love old chunks of wood like that and just never giving up until I get something out of them. I have had good luck using shellac and just letting the wood drink up as much as it wants. It seems to really stiffen the wood up, especially the real soft spots. And of course, CA glue and coffee grounds for those cracks.

      The challenge of dealing with cracks and such like is great for letting your mind wander. Thanks 😀👍

    I like it when someone says "that woods rotten" and out pops a stunning bowl or vase.
    Well done on another great save.

      I have a laser engraver, so I’m able to make them myself on 3mm hardboard. Thanks for watching 👍

    Зачем покрывать маслом ещё не законченное изделие???

    • @RDMWoodturning
      @RDMWoodturning  Před 4 měsíci

      Масло уплотняет и придает великолепный естественный вид, а не глянцевый воск. Спасибо за просмотр.

      @@RDMWoodturning Это понятно. Вы не поняли вопрос? Изделие ещё не готово, а вы уже покрываете маслом. Почему? С уважением - Александр.
