Had any luck with my monkey puzzle yet Steve ?

 

i've got it mounted on my face plate but realised that i need to use the end of the lathe that has the larger capacity. i'm going to be doing some 24" bowls for savill gardens in windsor and intend to do yours at the same time. so in the next couple of weeks?

just thought i'd start a thread dedicated to the turning of bowls and the methods employed to do so.

 

Nice idea for a thread Steve, here's a few links to some of my stuff, and others, re bowl turning and methods.

 

How is the bowl in your pics progressing? Any pics of the biggies you're working on?

some impressive stuff there tom, i dont think im quite at that level yet but could be one day. the large ones i mentioned in the eucalyptus thread are still drying in all honesty. they've had about 5 months now and are almost ready.

 

out of 6 half logs i managed to get 22 blanks (16 beech, 6 laurel) and none have failed catastrophicly yet...

 

i'm turning brown oak for the crown estate at the moment and have a couple of 24" ish blanks to turn. i'l try to remember to turn and take photos at the same time.

Great thread! Here is a small bowl I turned for my fiancé to put her jewellery in at night. It's not the grandest of bowls but I wanted to show how incredible Acacia burr is!!!! Such a beautiful timber and so stable to work with too.

And here is a nice batch of blanks I'm going to be getting stuck into over the coming weeks

Laburnum. I've got the rootball to turn from the same tree. Been itching to turn it for two years but keep on waiting!

 

Just realise that I never got back to you bellringer with the list. It's ever growing and changing but I will endeavour to get it over to you. Apologies for the delay!

 

Got some nice catalpa last week. Might have to try microwaving some to speed up the drying process!!
