Sometimes you just need to roll with the punches and pivot into a new direction, I'll remake the top into something more in keeping, maybe a wave? What do you think?

Maybe I'll start using colour more?

Another hot day and another dice roller fresh off the lathe, ready for my demo in a few weeks at Herefordshire Woodturners.

Just finished turning this wide-rimmed beauty on the lathe. I wanted to let the natural, rich grain do most of the talking, but I couldn't resist adding those crisp, delicate ring accents to the rim to frame it all in with Hampshire Sheen embellishing paste.

Finishing a blue bowl, Hampshire sheen intrinsic colour set has been a favourite of mine for a long time.

A case of "only more cut" here but I'm happy with the result

Turning the outside is a live edge yew bowl.

Nice to work with a different type of wood today, hopefully when it splits it adds to the overall result.

Results to follow in later posts!

I just took this little bud vase off the lathe and I’m kind of obsessed with how the grain wrapped around these curves—especially that split color shift on the third bead down.

​Woodturning always gives you a few surprises once you start cutting into the blank. Anyone want to take a guess at what species of wood I used for this one? Drop your guesses below! 👇

Black walnut bowl turned this evening.

A rare Friday evening turning!
