back in 2015, Jim delaney brought a bunch of what I think is hard maple bowl blanks to Jons gathering and I took them all.(noone else seemed to want them)
Ive turned most of them, this last one had a crack/split down one side of it, I turned it anyway.
I put some oil on it, then applied first coat of poly today.
so its got a hole in the side, thats the way the blank was, should I coat it again, get a nice shine on it, or does it look silly? with a hole in it?(Like I just made a cracked bowl)
oh, I almost built up enough courage yesterday to turn those stone mechanical pencil blanks ted gave me back then also. maybe next week. Id hate to ruin them and have nothing to show for the nice blanks I was gifted
Im turning infrequently now, so every time I use the lathe its a learning experience all over again.
