I sometimes add a wire burnt line to my turnings for visual effect.
This time I tried using a torch to scorch the wood.
I was looking for a fade from burnt to natural.
I did learn that if you run the lathe too fast the wood heats up instead of scorching…this is a bad thing for a glued joint!!!
Overall I am happy with the result and will try variations on this theme, at slower lathe speeds.
Sanded to 320 grit, scorched with propane torch, sealed with 2 pound shellac, then polished on the outside only with the Beall polishing system.

I like the design of this. I too like a “toasted” appeal to some projects. Very nice.

Bob,
Dunnage, (from wiki) dunnage is inexpensive or waste material used to protect and load securing cargo during transportation. ...
