I Found This Wood Floating in The Water

[@lyndaowen2154]

put some of your finish on before you do the CA and then the CA does it stain the wood Quite so bad. This is something I learned through other wood turners that I've been out of a lot longer than I have. So I'm just passing it on. The bowl turned out very nice -F.O.G. (found on ground) wood has the best price on it. Sometimes is some of the prettiest wood you can find. Thanks for sharing.

I agree. It does tend to have interesting character.
Thanks for the info. I've never heard about that tactic. Makes sense

I think it is great for "Found In Lake" wood. Great job!👍👍

[@patriotwoodturning]

So F.I.L. wood?
I can go for that 😂

[@clydeschuyler]

It turned out great! I started to use an epoxy denatured alcohol mix to toughen up the wood. Just a little epoxy and add denatured alcohol until it is a thin syrup. It soaks into the wood and the alcohol dries up leaving the epoxy. I found that CA glue will burn off with really dry wood. Just another tool for the tool box.

Yep, that is the solution!

@@crocuscreekwoodworks I learned it from you. Lol.

[@clydeschuyler]

@@crocuscreekwoodworks I went type out your channel and was worried about the spelling.

[@patriotwoodturning]

I like that idea. Does it still look darker like it did with the CA? That's the only thing I didn't like about the CA.

Bowl looks great from here! Nice job.

[@patriotwoodturning]

Thanks

[@crocuscreekwoodworks]

I like it and the ends add character. Nice work.

[@patriotwoodturning]

Thanks.
Yeah it adds character.
The only reason I wasn't too happy with it is because the character didn't look as natural.

[@SandraLilium]

I like it! Great job.

[@patriotwoodturning]

Thanks

Cool. I'm always trying to raise my lousy level and you are way beyond that.

[@patriotwoodturning]

And I consider myself still on a low level lol.

[@beverlym5465]
