Woodturning, The Sapphire Walnut Bowl
Hello, friends Come check out our brand new shop launch I ve got a beautiful one today if I do say so myself This was made from planks of walnut and blue mica pigment from SquidPoxy. The individual wooden pieces were cut 3. 5 inches long and stacked vertically. To make the spacing even, I just used some long food skewers that were probably about 0. 25 cm in diameter. The resin was allowed to fully cure for 96 hours before I started turning, and once turned, I sanded the whole piece up to 2000 grit and finished it with Waterlox s medium sheen varnish. I still haven t worked with walnut a great deal yet, but it is quickly becoming my favourite species to work with. The grain is just stunning, and I felt that this blue pigment really matched well with the dark wood. I especially love how the roundness of the bowl creates these weaving, curving lines in the final product. If you d like to be
