bowl turning thread

[flames]

has anyone seen this bluing on field maple before?

 

they are currently two rough tuned bowls but they were a perfect creamy colour when turned and as the surface dried out over the next couple of days it turned this blueish grey colour. will it turnout or is it permanently stained.

 

what caused it?

 

Steve, I've seen this before, you get it in Sycamore too. You should be able to bleach it, can't remember if it'll turn off, but if you only did them a few days ago, take a skim off and apply a fungicide, that should keep them nice and clean looking.

they were done weeks ago, i'll just have to hope that they will turn off.

 

never seen it before but then again i never turned this much wet wood before. considering they were turned wet on the 9th they have already lost 20% in weight without degrade.

Some really great stuff being posted.

 

Here's a recent one of mine. Oak burr 350dia x 250. Still needs a finish coat of oil, but I've run out, and the Mylands site appears to be down....
