I never have! I want the wood pores open as much as possible to allow more wax penetration. Although I’d be willing to give it a try sometime! Thanks for watching, Michael
I'm kind of curious as to why you leave that much tailstock in the bowl, I'd assume it wouldn't add much extra support as soon as you reach the thinnest point of it, for example, let's say the tailstock as a curved cone shape, and at the thinnest point of the cone, it's 2 inches in diameter, then wouldn't leaving more than an inch or 2 past the 2 inches in diameter give virtually no extra support? I'd love to hear the explanation, as I'm sure it'd help me get even better myself, and just for clarification what I stated as an example is in no way, shape or form a fact, just my assumption, that I'd love to be corrected on if it's wrong, I love learning new things and improving on myself and my own knowledge, thank you in advance. I love woodturning and I'm fairly new to it, been woodturning for about 2 years but kind of took a long break recently due to the cold weather making it almost unbearable to be in the barn during this winter.
I really didn't need to leave that much of the center "tailstock" portion inside the bowl. This was green turned and if I remember I was just curious how much that piece might warp as the bowl dried out. Really nothing more than that! Appreciate the question and happy turnings.
Beautiful Piece and interesting process, thanks for sharing. Full View and Like 👍
Allen, I appreciate your kind words and you’re welcome. Michael
Betty does it again! Really cool looking bowl. Thought this was purple heart at first glance. Nice vid
Thank you! Betty does some beautiful work! She has a piece displayed at the Indianapols Art Museum.
Amazing work and super cool product- as always from the amazing Sapper !
Well thank you young man!
It is stunning and gorgeous. Well done!!
Thank you and Happy P!
Would you use a sealer coat of some sort over the dye prior to applying the embellishing wax? Something I picked up watching other videos.

@@SapperWoodworking Thank you very much for the answer! I like the idea! It really gives a great sense for the warping!
