Camphor Bowl
During days where the winter weather gave short reprieve especially out of the wind I was able to get some turning done.A Camphor bowl which had a void right through it was filled with resin allowed to sit a few weeks before final fill and turning. The bowl was a gift for an electric motor which was brand new, the motor will be used in the future for Ornamental decoration.
As a member of The Ornamental Turners Group Australasia OTGA I am learning to use techniques which date back to the 17th century to Ornament my wood turnings. Using a Rose Engine Lathe creating amazing textures and finishes to surfaces.
Timber is Western Red Cedar the larger one had dry rot around the edge and was filled with a mix of turning dust and CA glue. Thats what is giving the burnt appearance. Cedar isn't usually a timber which is decorated as its to soft but this worked.
Both these peices of Cedar were from the same log the right one has a Sun Burst theme.
