I saw on television a wood turner finishing his product by using crayons> While the finished urn was ready for the application of wax or whatever varnish used for the end product, he had the urn spinning on the lathe, he took a solid crayon to the turning urn applied it and it buffed up, and the result was a color that was awesome in depth. I wish I could remember him he was a kid still in high school and he I think lived in Wisconsin U.S.A.

This is from the Rare Woods USA website; "Panga Panga is the first cousin to Africa’s more popular and well-known exotic, Wenge (with both trees being of the Millettia genus) - sharing a similar large pored, course texture, and presenting some of the same challenges when working. It is generally a bit lighter colored, with heartwood ranging from the lighter to darkers sides of medium brown, with dark brown to black streaks and/or highlighted grain lines. Darker examples can be easily confused with Wenge, and they have been known to turn almost black as they age." BTW, that finish is giving me some ideas. Nice video and really nice looking bowl Matt.

I like the bowl and the finish, but I think I would have tried colored chalk and then applied a finish over it rubbing both in on the lathe. May I offer a turning tip? Put as piece of masking tape on the front of your lathe's bed or ways, flush with the top edge. Then you can use a square sitting on the ways and square the face of the chuck down to the tape. Turn the bowl and square the lip of the bowl down. Now you know the depth of the bowl from the jaws to the rim. With a straight edge across the bowl, measure the internal depth and check that against the tape. Now you know the thickness of the bottom without removing the bowl and remounting it. Easier to do than explain.

You could probably just melt the crayons onto the bowl while it’s running. Just run the crayon all over the surface and heat it up by holding a paper towel to it. That should fill in the grain very uniformly.

I could be mistaken but it looked like you were turning the outside backwards (rim of the bowl to foot) you should always to from the foot to rim of the bowl as this lays the fibres down and cuts them cleanly (general rule). Going backwards could explain the difficulties you had and it is Silica in the timber that kills cutting edges. If you think Wenge is hard to turn you should try some Australian Turpentine! ;) Great result though!!!

WhenGay, sounds more like an African word. I think Wenge, like Zebrano, is part of the Ebony family, very dense, very hard and has high content of Silica to help dull your tools with unprecedented efficiency. Loved the video though, how say you?
it's 'when-gay' i think. i use it for knife scales and i remember looking up it's correct pronunciation.
