New Sanding technique


I just did my first bowl using a new technique for me….. I used an orbital sander and had the lathe on a lower speed. This caused the sand paper to do it’s job and not leave any sanding marks. The bowl was make out of a piece of pecan that I got from a large limb that fell in town. It only has wax polish on it and I think it came out marvelous.

I will continue to update on new projects when I get them finished. I hope when I go up the the cabin this weekend, I can get a cherry bowl finished that has been drying for about 1 1/2 months. A friend had to have a cherry tree cut down at her father’s house and I was lucky enough to get my hands on a good supply for the shop.
