Day 145: Organization


I did some organizing today, 43 bowl roughouts and  hollow form roughouts (not pictured) were moved from the landry room inside to the shelves in the shop.  These are a mixture of Sissoo (19), Shoestring Acacia (17), Aspen (4), and Olive (3). 

I'm hoping I can get a few of these finished in time for a couple of shows I'm planning to do this spring.  Some of the smaller ones may be headed to the club to be given away in 50/50 or raffle drawings.  I don't finish turn too many small bowls but I also hate to waste the wood. 









I also finished roughing out 'The Beast' from earlier this week.  I still have to fill all of the cracks before finishing the inside and then turning and finishing the bottoms.  I've decided that I'm going to use 2 part epoxy mixed with coffee grounds to fill the cracks. 









Another view of the 3 bowls above.  The cracks in the largest bowl are almost completely hidden in this view. 












I also took the time to take better photos of some recent pieces.
