Very cool idea to 3D print a liner. Had not thought of that. Beautiful piece as usual !

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Ian! Sometimes it is hard to find the exact size tube to fit. This way I custom fit and I do not have to wait to get one. I print on high settings to make sure it does not leak. Thanks for watching, Gary

That is so gorgeous...I just love the variation in the grain.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Carol. It sure is a nice piece of Black Walnut. Some of the other scraps are a bit bigger. Maybe a vase with a large opening might be in order. Take care, Gary

That's a very pretty piece! The 3D printed liner is a very clever idea. I've been doing a lot of 3D printing; it's a fascinating technology.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Jim. I find 3D printing very useful. Have made extra camera mounts for outside security camera which I put up to watch our mailbox. The reason is when people walk are dead end road with a dog and the dog poops they will put it in our garbage can if it is still out on the road. I guess someone figured I would not mind if they put it in our mailbox. I Figured if they did it again I could personally give it back to them. Sorry it reminded me of that. But I do love designing 3D parts in CAD and then printing them. Thanks for watching. Gary

[@jimbalz3017]

I use BobCad which has the CAM module and the Art Module. I have had it for years. I bought it because I have a CNC milling machine. DesignSpark is a good programs. I do not think the free version will create Gcode. Thanks for asking, Gary

Lovely piece Gary. Inspired to give it a try with some yew or cherry.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Richard. It is just a wonderful piece of wood and easy to work with. I think a carbide tipped fit would be great. And as long as you are going to put a tube in it then drilled straight works just fine. Cherry would make a real nice vase. Thanks for watching, Gary

Hi Gary, beautiful grain! Black walnut is really hard to beat! With regards to the spray lacquer, do you need to cut it back before adding additional coats? Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike, I do not cut it back. This comes as a stray can. When I use their lacquer for brushing I cut it back to where it sprays good. Up to 50 percent depending on how long I have had it. I have a gallon can that is close to empty and at least 10 years old. I also like Zinsser Seal Coat as a sealer. I think the lacquer lays down better. Thanks for watching, Gary
