It aint much, but I got inspired to try a little something other than pens...
I've got a fair amount of tearout on the sides of it, but what the heck.
Watched some videos on sharpening a bowl gouge and general bowl turning and thought I'd just give it a try.
I didn't put any real finish on it, just some of my mineral oil and wax. I figure I might just use it around the kitchen for prep work. It actually fits well in the cutouts I put on my cutting boards, so I might just see how I like it versus Stainless Steel.
I can see why this would be addictive. Very fun... Now I just need to work on my sharpening skills...
Oh, and I figure I need to get some more tools, like sanding tools, a vacuum chuck, a sharpening jib....
Next Stop, hollow forms....
(And probably even more tools)
Now I know why all you guys that turn go to craft shows. Seems like :
a) You need to be able to recoup some of your investment in Tools
b) You need to get 'rid' of all the product you create!
