Today started with the coating of those running behind
the front runner containers, followed by taking my wife
to her mother's place in Kamakura.
See what is bellow?
This is one end of the morning dew down bellow as of
this morning... No, I did not do it! In fact, I had
been wondering what the very end might end up looking like...
It has doubled up on itself! Whether this is usual,
I have no idea...
From today on I will be talking about wood turing for
some time, but, before that see bellow.
Coating of the parts for my wife's brush hanger has
started, not with the usual polyurethane, but with
a blended natural resin. One small problem here is
that drying process is slow...
In terms of today's other output, see bellow.
There are eight of them, two more still to be worked on,
and that is for tommorrow. These are all small saucers
for my wife, made of natural cherry, as opposed to
cultivated spieces. When eventually coated they will look
lovely! I particularly like the grains!
What follows is the saucer to be, fixed on the lathe,
with its upper side about to be formed into a concave.
Can you see three small holes on the face?
They are the holes which fixed the face plate
on this side of the work.
The concave depth will have to exceed the depth
of these holes, obliterating them to get a nice and
smooth concave.
I worked out the bottom sides yesterday, and this
side of the work, shown here, is the oher side, and
after a while you have something like shown bellow...
Above is really, after, I should imagine, 10 minutes
of turning. From tommorrow on I will guide you
through the procedures.
May I remind you that the art of wood turing was
mentioned in one of Tolstoy's novels, shown as
a noble pastime for the Russian aristocracy...
In reality, it is a mess!
