Spring Cleaning – Wooden Bowls and Boxes

10 June 2014 greg Leave a comment

Now that it's getting into mid June of 2014, and I haven't actually posted anything in close to six months, I think it's high time for a new post! Over the past few months, I've admittedly been fairly absent from my own web site. That's not a formula for success now, is it? It's been a … Continue Reading ››

Simple Maple Bowl

20 October 2013 greg Leave a comment

Today I decided to get working on a new simple maple bowl. I haven't turned anything in over a month (or more!) now and I was starting to get a bit twitchy for going so long without doing anything new on the lathe. I have been working on a few wooden boxes, but even those … Continue Reading ››

2 August 2013 greg Leave a comment

I finally managed to get the time to finish turning the cherry wood blanks that have been my current focus. Out of the original board, I ended up with 8 bowls out of the original 10 blanks that were cut. One had a crack in the wood that was hidden until I was turning it. … Continue Reading ››

Century Mill Lumber

20 June 2013 greg Leave a comment

Finally made it down to Century Mill Lumber in Stouffville today. I had been told it was an excellent place for all kinds of wood and I wasn't let down at all. There was so much I wanted, but I needed to be realistic (and besides, there's only so much you can fit … Continue Reading ››

Wood Working Finishes – Update

27 March 2013 greg Leave a comment

In an earlier post regarding wood finishes, I had stated that I'd be using either a polyurethane for a modern finish or a linseed oil/beeswax blend for a more traditional look. Well, I lied. Or at least changed my mind. From this point, unless otherwise requested for a commission or for a very specific purpose, I'll be … Continue Reading ››
