middle bowl
I used a horse chestnut for the first time.
And, I uses bowl gouge of the Robert Sorby for the first time,too.
1.It is the board of the horse chestnut with the 75 mm thickness which I was bought at 2000 yen. I thinks that it is cheap.
2.I clipped the board by using band saw like the disk. Seven disks to ø300-ø100.
3.They were bought from Off-Corporation, 19m/m Round scraper and Roughing gouge, and are 13m/m Bowl gouge. Bowl gouge of 13m/m indeed has power. It is my target to master this gouge this time.
4.This time, I uses a disk with ø165mm*75mm thickness.
5.This is center jig for the face plate. The point is screw top.
6.I forces jig into the face plate. Then, it adjusts the sharp part of the screw tip to the center of the works and it screws a face plate on the work. Then, a face plate is fixed on the center of the works.
7.I cut outer with bowl gouge. I puts a hollow for the bottom to be able to grasp by Bantam chuck.
8.I exchanges it from 4 fingernails chuck to bantam chuck of Akisminstar. The sharpness of gouge of Robert Sorby is good.
9.It is made to put chuck in the hollow of work and to expand to the outside and it grips it.
10.I used an aquatic urethane. There is durability when piling up and painting it.
Horse chestnut is good. I seems that the stripe like the flame comees up by light. 160mm Dia * 72mm Tall.
