I got a floor tool rest, helps with the larger projects. I use DEFT finish, easy to use and not to expensive. Might want to get a moisture meter, really helped me a lot. Great project and BEAUTIFUL GRAIN PATTERN and stain made it POP. Keep making sawdust.
Thanks Mike. I knew that log was really damp but I was dying to see what it would look like. Joyce told me if I can use that lathe for a while I can start adding some accessories, I’ll look into that tool rest…and that finish too.
Nice looking vase for someone who says they don't know what they're doing. Really think you should consider signing your pieces too...PF25???...just a thought
Thanks Criss. I actually signed all the gifts I gave out this Christmas. I ordered something that’s on its way via a slow boat from China. It should help with signing. You’ll see it when it comes in.
