Hi All,
Well I worked some more on the tray today and it looks really nice. Here's a photo and a description of today's work:
I finished turning the foot and shaping it fit into the large wood chuck I have. I also finished the turning and sanding-I sanded it to 400 grit and it really is lovely.
This is really light weight wood. For comparison I would put it in the soft pine-cedar category. It turns, sands, and finishes really well.
After I sanded it I applied a coat of salad bowl finish and took it off the lathe as I had some other projects to work on today. It's inside drying now and it is almost dry. It feels like satin to the touch.
Tomorrow I'll put it back on the lathe and apply a second coat of finish and then let it dry. This weekend I'll flip it over and hollow it out.
Stay tuned,
VW
