I had 1/2 of the day free to play with my wood turning and tried to finish up some projects that have been sitting but got side tract as usual. I thought i would try to rough turn a bowl and coat the whole thing with anchor seal. So i did and put it in a paper bag and dated it. I read that one of the pro's does this with all his rough turnings and rarley loses any so what heck ill give it a try myself.................Ill let you know i did it on some pine i had laying around to see......I figure if you can control green pine you probably can control about anything.......
Question- I use Powergrip jaws on my supernova but i get marks where the jaws grip when i make the tennon (expansion mode jaws push against the wood hard and mark it). I have been sanding them later on after they dry well but i was wondering if some strips of duct tape over the jaws would help in decreasing or eliminating the marks - or is there danger in it slipping or ???.............See Picture 1 - Powergrip jaws
thoughts anyone................
Picture 2 & 3 - Mesquite natural edge completed with oil soak and 4 coats of semi gloss laquer - waiting to dry and buff........will try the PL again i think
Picture 4 - Same as above but not natural edge.............
Picture 5 - Finished and dried in the traditional brown bag method - then ruby red dye and green dye with sanding in between (it was a punky kind of pine wood that i was going to toss actually) - final sanding with 400 and 600 - then a coat of 50/50 gloss laquer and laquer thinner and sanded again with 600 - then coated twice with Formby's tung oil - currently drying ................
Question: I have wanted to try the tung oil finish alot of turners talked about so i did on the above - ooooops now wondering if it was such a bright idea to put it over the 50/50 sealer i made up ???????????????????
Picture 6 - Salad bowl set - Teak - kind of a dull wood really - sanded to 400-600 and then semi gloss laquer sprayed on......will end up with 5 coats before im done - then buff out......will try the PL on these to when the time comes.......probably should have put some AO or Do on them first but the person that wants them said they didnt like alot of the oil finishes so ..............walla just sanded well and trying to fill in the pores a bit more before i buff and call it complete........kind of a pain to keep coating them and trying to get the pores filled......I should have used my laquer/laquer thinner filler stuff i make up.....I dont they would have known the difference............ahhh well learning the in and outs the hard way i guess..........but still alot of fun to experiment and play around with different techniques.....................
