Woodturning Some Sumac Hollow Forms

[@FRBPturning]

That one way hollowing system is absolutely gargantuan! Seems like it works really well though. Nice job!

Nice job. I love sumac. But I have never seen it that big here in NB

[@frankdidomizio]

Thanks, yes it does get a bit larger here in Ontario, but this is the largest I have ever seen. A lady was nice enough to give this to me when she had it cut down on her property.

Oh man, that baloon trick! These are lovely, how do you dry them after roughing? With some anchor seal?

[@frankdidomizio]

Thanks. After rough turning I coat them with a sealer. You can use anchor seal, but these days I have moved to a pva based sealer that I buy from CraftsuppliesUSA when I am there. You can easily make your own pva sealer using white or yellow carpenters glue and dilute it a bit with water (around 20% water).

@@frankdidomizio Thanks, I buy from their online store quite a bit, but I'm due to get another gallon of pva glue, so might be a good time to cook up some of my own sealer.
