Another weekend has come and gone, and I was able to spend a few hours of this one on woodworking.
Saturday morning I made it to the local Woodcraft to get in on their 15% off sale. Picked up a couple Wayne Barton chip carving knives (which fit my hand like a glove) and some other odds and ends. Can't wait to try the chip carving stuff - looks like it will be fun.
Later in the day on Saturday I finished off a few more maple bowls. They're looking good (if not a bit plain), and I should have them buffed and up on the website tonight or tomorrow. I really feel like I have the fundamentals of turning down pat by now, but I still struggle a bit with a few more advanced techniques. And I think I need to make a Longworth chuck one of these days, but that's the subject for another blog entry.
I also worked a bit on rearranging my turned bowl web page on my site, and it's looking much better so far. I have the basics done (you can take a peak here, but that address will change in a few days once I make the updates permanent) but I now need to make individual sub-pages for each of the bowls.
