As I mentioned in a previous post about Argentine Osage Orange<\/a>, I had a good stock of small bowl blank sizes that I purchased on clearance from West Penn Hardwoods<\/a> some years ago.  I finally got around to turning those these past weeks and I am pleased to have accomplished that goal.<\/p>\n

These pieces were all clearly “B” grade due to cracks, knots, sapwood, and\/or spalt but for the most part they turned out alright.<\/p>\n

Argentine Osage Orange<\/p><\/div>\n

From top to bottom the bowls measure: 4.5″ x 3″, 5.5″ x 3″, and 5.5″ x 2″.  I would have been happier to work with larger pieces but these were what I had on hand at the time.<\/p>\n

As I noted before, and as is true of American Osage Orange<\/a>, which is very closely related, Argentine Osage Orange turns nicely.  It doesn’t cut as cleanly as the American version but it isn’t terrible either.  I didn’t like the 3″ depth on such small pieces as it is impossible to get a tool rest into such a small and deep space which leads to catches and bowls flying about the room, but that only happened a couple of times.  The more I turn the more I gain clear ideas about the types of materials I would prefer to work with and larger pieces are better and if the piece is small than being 2″ thick trumps being 3″ thick.<\/p>\n

All major cuts were made using the Easy Wood Tool<\/a> system on my Robust American Beauty<\/a> lathe, although I do use Robert Sorby bowl gouges<\/a> for light final passes before sanding.  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> as well as Abranet sanding screens from Craft Supplies USA<\/a>.  Final finish is Shellawax.<\/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":"
