Ongoing Project (04)

Turning Air and Manitoba Maple.

I like to move to center gradually. First I bring the thickness down to 1/2" or so for a distance of 1/2" to 1" depending on my mood and the difficulty of that section of the wood. Then I take that down to 1/4" or less. Manitoba Maple Wing Bowl Image
Gradually work in towards center. Manitoba Maple Wing Bowl Image
Reducing the center "island" more Manitoba Maple Wing Bowl Image
and more with each pass Manitoba Maple Wing Bowl Image
until the center is reached and we are ready to sand. Manitoba Maple Wing Bowl Image
I sand to 600 with the lathe off. Manitoba Maple Wing Bowl Image
