This is laminated walnut and purple heart with epoxy laced with cumin. I mixed cumin with the epoxy to give it some grain and color. I was trying to make it look like yellow heart. I need to get a press so I can get even pressure without applying so much pressure all the epoxy squeezes out. I did not care for the purple heart for turning. It is beautiful timber, but it just wants to turn to dust while turning. It measures 4.25” tall by 8.25” wide and is finished with a wipe-on poly.

You’re a bowl-turning machine!

This one is really beautiful. The border between the two woods really sets it off.

Trifern,

You are having fun!!!! This is another beautiful bowl. As fast as you are turning these out I am beginning to wonder if you have a group of elves in your shop. :)

Well done and thanks for the post.

This is a fantastic piece, very neat idea to use cumin as a colorant and I like the results.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

Scott, no elves, just a burning desire to turn. What used to take days, now takes hours. What used to take hours, now takes minutes.

So Trifern ….I see on yer list of Tools and Power tools you do not have a lathe listed …..How do you do it ….All that bowl turning and not having a lathe …..I would love to know what lathe you use as i really do want to get a lathe…it has been 20 yrs since i had shavings down my shirt ….and went away sneezing at the Goncalo Alves dust …The Oneway looks really great ….but then David Marks Oliver lathe is the one i really want ,...
thanks …really nice bowls ..you are a very very good turner …

Joe, yet another great turning. That wood combination looks really cool! Great design too!

I use purpleheart occasionally in my boxmaking and I’ve always thought it seems fairly brittle. I’ve made a few pens with it and noticed the same thing you mention about turning to dust.

Thanks for posting it.

I wish I could find the time you have: you keep cranking them out and they all look fabulous.
