Continuing to work my way through the Craft Supplies USA “Box of Blocks”, 20 pound grab bag so to speak, I turned a small Poplar and a small Maple dish today.<\/p>\n

The Maple was much harder and cut slowly. It also, surprisingly for such a hard wood, it cut fairly chunky at times. This piece of Maple, unlike most that you see, has a great deal of wild figure and inclusions. I don’t have any idea what caused the cream colored inclusions, could be insects or disease, but it is certainly striking and makes the piece unique.<\/p>\n

Both of these pieces are quite small, measuring slightly more than 4 inches across and less than 2 inches high.<\/p>\n

I don’t expect these piece from the BOB to be amazingly beautiful or challenging, but since I have the material it feels to me like I should go ahead and use it up to make the best of it. I won’t buy BOB again however as I’d rather put the resources and time into known species that I really like to work with instead of whatever the retailer chooses to reject.<\/p>\n

All cuts were made with Easy Wood Tools<\/a>, bowls were chucked in Nova Chucks<\/a>, sanding was done with Yellow and Green Wave papers from Packard Woodworks<\/a>, and the finish is Shellawax<\/a>. My lathe is a Robust American Beauty.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
