Long ago, about 8 years ago, I turned a Rainbow Poplar<\/a> bowl and had a heck of a time with it. Experience helped make this time a much more pleasant effort.<\/p>\n

Rainbow Poplar is fairly soft so it does cut quickly but not incredibly cleanly.  Fortunately it cleans up with some basic sanding pretty quickly.  Regular Poplar is very much a utility wood with not much to recommend it to the turner, but when the rainbow effect is present the wood becomes more special due to the random colors you find.<\/p>\n

This piece measures 11″ x 4″ and is, I believe, the deepest vessel I have yet turned.  I intend to repeat the experience with a Cherry blank in the next two days.<\/p>\n

It took some time and some patience to hollow this one out but I think the effort was repaid.  The bowl does, unfortunately, have a check in the side wall.  This check was there when I started the turning process and since the bowl came by it “honestly,” that is it was present from the beginning and not the result of an error on my part, I have decided to consider that is just part of what this piece of wood happened to do and to not judge it further.<\/p>\n

All cuts were made using the Easy Wood Tool<\/a> system on my Robust American Beauty<\/a> lathe.  Forward chucking was in a Nova Chuck,<\/a> while reverse chucking was done using a Nova Chuck with Cole Jaws<\/a>.  Sanding was with Gold and Green Wave sanding discs from Packard Woodworks<\/a>.  Final finish is Staples Crystal Clear Paste Wax<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As always, I wish all my readers a great experience in whatever your wood working interests happen to be and to those who like working with lathes especially, do a good turn today!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
