THE WORKERS

Hi Everyone,

It is an absolutely beautiful day here today-the air temperature is about 65 and its clear and sunny and we have about a zillion birds outside. We even had some ducks on my front yard earlier today. All in all a good day to begin finishing this bowl.

I went down to the shop and finished wet sanding the bowl up to 400 grit and then I polished the surface with maple wood shavings. Here are photos of the inside and a side view:



The bowls surface is still damp with mineral spirits. Im going to let this evaporate off and while its doing that, Im going to clean out the shop and let the dust in the air clear out. Later today Ill do a posting about the finishing process.

Ma ... on the new porchette ....

Still working on it ... My firewood arrived Saturday, and construction will have to take a break until thats stacked in the shed. Fortunately, we were able to get the little bit of inside framing work done this past weekend and were good to go ... Well finish the outside over the course of the summer, with the work sprinkled in at a little more leisurely (if thats possible considering I started back in April) pace ... All work, (even if its fun work), and no play makes Jack a dull boy .... Click the photos to enlarge them ...
