From the album: birch bowl
-
PS another idea is to rough turn the bowls to about 1 to 1.5 ins and then leave them to dry and then re turn
-
Nice piece of Elm One way which might help is to bind the upper edge with tape or a strap,to hold it together untill its dried but it will turn oval the other thing is just to let it do its own thing then fill in any cracks
-
Hi no the arms were cut from one piece of Elm
-
Can't believe how difficult the arms were to make

I agree he Should not have to resort to these tactics but what sort of world are we living in if we daren't intervene Where do we draw the line .Would you intervene if it was something simple like this Would tyou intervene if it was a mugging a rape or murder I think I was supposed to live in a time long gone
-
Of Course he was right.Are we all going to sit around and let this happen He may end up in court but what a pathetic society we live in where we would all rather play safe and ignore all the bad things going on I know for one i am only a short ar!! but I couldnt let it go Perhaps I come from a past where nobody was allowed to get away with that sort of behaviour

Arrowsmith dehumidifier kilns - availability?
slackbladder replied to Tom at Heartwood's topic in Milling Forum
Hi Mike I am pleased you get on well with the sauno kiln I just can't get on with mine How good is the door seal on yours,Logosol say that its the most important bit,and how did you seal yours Logosol are really good and have even offered me my money back but I would rather have the kiln working I think that mine is running out of water after just a couple of days and that means the wood is sitting in a fairly dry atmosphere at 70 degrees centigrade Any advice would be a real help cheer steve -
Hi Rob A lot of varnishes and lacquer can be affected by what you put on underneath the final coat Cellulose on top of acrylic etc but i bet you knew that anyway
