31 Mar 21 - Mahogany Bowl Finished. Finally!

Finally got the finish right.  I had runs and drips and a puddle in the bottom.  I have sanded it smooth and reapplied the finish 4 or 5 times.

I got the outside finish right a few days ago.

But the inside was a real challenge.  But finally it looks good.
 

26 Mar 21 - Small Mahogany Spatula

Made this today with the same piece from yesterday.

 

25 Mar 21 - Truck and Camper Detail

Had to mobile detail-er  out today to wash and wax the camper and the truck.  They do a real good job.

They brought the shine back.

Truck is pretty when it is clean.  I am sure by tomorrow night it will be covered in yellow pollen.

 

25 Mar 21 - Another Mahogany Project

Took this piece of Mahogany and cut it in half and shaped out a spatula on the band saw.

Going to make another spatula with the piece on the right.

The olive wood spatula on the top in this picture was purchased in Israel in 2017 and it cracking down the middle.  So I decided to make the smaller spatula today.  Still have to Bees oil it a few times before I can use it to make breakfast, then it will turn purple like the other one.
 

24 Mar 21 - More Bowl Finishing

Another coat of finish on the bowl. 
 

23 Mar 21 - Finishing the Bowl

First coat of shellac on the inside.

And on the outside.

Bottom sanded flat and autographed.  More finishing!
 

22 Mar 21 - Day 2 of Making a Mahogany Bowl

Chip pile from day one.

Working on the inside of the bowl

Still making chips.

Chips were flying.

Pile is somewhat bigger than it was on Saturday.

I had to put some glue on the backside to keep some of the bark on.

Lots of sanding with many grits of paper.

This is the piece of bark that I had to glue so it didn't let go.

Pretty grain in this piece.
