Natural Edge 2
I made a bowl with the natural edge following the last time.
However, the result condition wasn't good.
I thought that it was important to choose good material.
1.The material is camphor tree. It got it from my friend about 2 years before.
2.I cuts material in Band saw. and, I makes a one side flat.
3.It uses the circle cut jig of band Thor and it makes circular.
4.I sets a face plate in the part which made a one flat and it drilling for the collet chuck opposite with fastener bit.
5.I turns the part which becomes a bottom.
6.This time, it used teak oil. I noticed black bristletail's on the surface of the material.
7.I turns the inside at with bowl gouge. There is a black bristletail inside, too.
8.It thinks that an edge was stay and that it was beautifully completed. However, it is still blackish like the bristletail.
9.I seems that there still was a problem in the material and it is regrettable. I really feeled when to choose good material at the natural edge was valuable.
10.It painted a coloring stain to hide a bristletail. This bowl will use a plant pot.
11.I cheered up again and I attempted to make some sake cups.
12.I made it when using the part where there is not a bristletail of the same camphor tree, it is fairly good.
