When turning we sometimes come across a piece of wood that looks good in it's semi raw state. We think to ourselves that I can make bowl out of this. There are some surface cracks that we can just get out by turning. We put it on the lathe and start the process of removing shavings.
I don't know what type of wood this is but found that I needed to go back to the grinder to touch up the edge of the chisel often. The initial surface cracks were easily dealt with and when I got to a shape that I liked I came across one that was very deep.
After filling with epoxy mixed with red dye and waiting for 24 hours I return to this bowl and found more cracks starting to emerge. Once again reaching for the epoxy but this time using coffee grounds I filled the cracks over a period of several days.
I applied three coats of wipe on poly.
All comments and suggestion are welcome.
