Very nice. Lathe work is most relaxing to me. I truly liked watching the progress. Thanks.

Very pretty. It’s like a sun burst

[@CASWoodcraft]

Thanks!

@Joseph Craft - That's exactly what I was thinking. 🙂

We share similar flora and fauna over here in Idaho, and tho russian olives do provide another striking color range of the natural palette, they are mostly seen a one of those natives that are a trash tree. I have seen some folks do some very imaginative and judicious pruning to make them more attractive in their landscapes. I never would have thought the finished results of turning the wood to be so fantastic. Thanx.

[@CASWoodcraft]

You’re welcome!

I thought you were crazy starting off the way you did… I was wrong, can’t argue with the result. Nice turning

[@longdriver2]

Nice job. Olive is a great wood to turn.

[@CASWoodcraft]

I think so too!

[@SiamWoodShop]

Nice work, looks a little like oak, great shape, stay safe, John. (Watch out for the BOTS below.)

[@CASWoodcraft]

[@CASWoodcraft]

Thanks for watching!

[@ryanbailey112]

Very nice thanks for sharing. What sanding unit are you using. Thanks!

[@davidbroux964]

Very nice, It's seems that your CA glue is black. Is it a special one? I am a beginner and sanding is some time very long. You used a turning machin, which kind of drill do you use? Thanks a lot David from France

[@CASWoodcraft]

Starbond makes a black CA glue which is very useful to have. I have a couple of drills. One Ryobi and one Mikita, but I usually just let the spinning action of the lathe do the work.

Very nice!!!

[@CASWoodcraft]

Thanks!!

[@Loan--Wolf]

that looks freaking amazing would have been nice if it got some more contrast in the heart wood but still looks good

[@CASWoodcraft]

Yeah I agree. thanks!

[@moonwoodworks4607]

Nice, very nice.

[@CASWoodcraft]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@perfectpitchtodd]

What did you spray on the bowl before the CA glue? I assume it was to prevent staining???

[@CASWoodcraft]

Yep. it was just some lacquer.

[@STMwoodturning]

Crack-tastic was an appropriate name but the piece looks good anyway.

[@CASWoodcraft]
