Sanding

by the way, i'm fairly sure that the timber is yew not cherry.

 

yep - now that's just embarrassing :)

 

Thank you all. I was loaned a lathe last week and this is my first one. Seems simple now once someone explains that you use the tool to get a completely flat surface and the each grade of sand paper is to get rid of the previous grades marks. I've really only sanded skirting boards before - so this is a whole new bowl-game (!)

Thank you 7d.

ok. As it happens i cut the hedges of the chairman of kent woodturners yesterday (i didn't know he was until i saw the lathe in the shed and asked his missus) .. anyway he suggested i stop the lathe and 'spot' sand the marks out then go up the grits to remove the sanding marks ... it worked. Previously i was just holding the sandpaper against the rotating bowl.

 

Now gotta get the tenon off without a jam chuck or cole jaws.
