I try this every couple of months as a little skill test. Turning a very thin rounded dish from a square.

Its a simple looking thing but takes patience and concentration. Hence why most end up on the firewood pile 🤣 I either go too thin and straight through the base. Or I turn too much against unsupported grain and the "wings" fly off across the workshop. Or i lose sight of where the corners are for a second and catch my fingers 50 times.

Anyway its still not perfect but I'll keep this one as a weird coaster for work 😜

2nd turning of this crazy ash burr today. Followed by 1st sand and brushing on some sealer.

Tough to turn, many light passes to avoid catches. So pleased to have that live edge intact. Far too many cuts on my hands from trying to sand on the lathe....hand sanding only from now on!

Its a bit special 😜

Going to put many coats of oil on these two. Take my time every couple of days knock the shine back and reapply.

The sycamore with the live edge is already developing a real depth in grain, colour and figuring....that one could well end up in my kitchen! 😍
