I finished hollowing the bowl, and sanded the inside, but there\u2019s still quite a bit of hand-sanding to be done, since I patched the cracks from the inside as well. But I made a custom shaped scraper and cleaned up the excess glue and fill before I called it a night, plus cut off the tenon on the bottom of the bowl, and began cleaning that up. It\u2019s looking pretty good so far. My big worry is I\u2019ll break it at this point, but I\u2019m hoping that\u2019s a healthy worry.","generator":{"id":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2026-08-02:notice-source:ActivityPub","objectType":"application","status_net":{"source_code":"ActivityPub"}},"id":"https:\/\/hostux.social\/users\/bmacDonald94\/statuses\/115390782240221549\/activity","object":{"id":"https:\/\/writing.exchange\/users\/davepolaschek\/statuses\/115379150682976269","objectType":"note","content":"

I put a test-coat of oil on so I could see how things are progressing. A little hand-sanding, and the outside will be done, except for turning off the tenon on the bottom and smoothing the bottom of the bowl. Not sure if that will happen on the lathe (with a jam chuck, most likely) or by hand in the bench. A lot will depend on how thin I turn the walls tomorrow or Friday.

As for any eventual cracking, my plan is to fill those cracks with epoxy as well, though depending on their size, I may need to use cosmetic mica and CA glue. Time will tell.<\/p>

Third, and hopefully final epoxy pour complete. A total of 5 oz (150ml) of epoxy resin was used, which is less than most of my pours.

Got a session out in the shop this evening. Rough-hollowed the bowl so that I can finish turn it maybe next week.

This combination ends up being harder than the juniper wood (I might\u2019ve said this was chokecherry earlier; I was confused), so when I sand off the excess, I\u2019m still left with a tiny ridge. Not really visible as such, but it\u2019s interesting to touch, and more kintsugi than wabi-sabi.

I put a test-coat of oil on so I could see how things are progressing. A little hand-sanding, and the outside will be done, except for turning off the tenon on the bottom and smoothing the bottom of the bowl. Not sure if that will happen on the lathe (with a jam chuck, most likely) or by hand in the bench. A lot will depend on how thin I turn the walls tomorrow or Friday.

This evening, some more shop time. I finished hollowing the bowl, and sanded the inside, but there\u2019s still quite a bit of hand-sanding to be done, since I patched the cracks from the inside as well. But I made a custom shaped scraper and cleaned up the excess glue and fill before I called it a night, plus cut off the tenon on the bottom of the bowl, and began cleaning that up. It\u2019s looking pretty good so far.
