Had the day free and worked in the garage on a few projects that have been sitting. Then i got called away late in the day and forgot to take the turnings inside and left for several hours. When I returned I was in for a suprise.....Southern Calif Heat is intense........
Picture #1 ----Cracked on both sides right down the middle. I held it together and dripped CA glue into it. Then steel wooled it down and put a coat of semi gloss laquer on it...............it will be a give away thing when done...............dang
Picture #2 ------Same thing with this small Walnut vessel but I opened up the crack and put some black dye around the edges, sanded and put a couple coats of laquer on it.......letting it dry now......another give away when im done......double dang
Picture #3 ------Again, this was left out in the summer heated garage and waalllla .......crack.......this one not repaired as well as i had hoped.....quick coating of wax and will either go in the junk pile or given away........................just not my day so far.......dang dang dang
Picture #4 & #5 ---- Then I managed to put the last coat on my large vessel that had been sitting.....Now letting it dry for a week or more for the finish to cure well.......put a finial on it for one of the pics but not sure it looks right so ill probably leave it off or make another one........but this put a good end to an otherwise bad turning day.......
