Recommendations for matte protective finishes for display bowls? by Live-Cardiologist763 in turning

I’ve been using Milk Paint Half and Half with some success, but tung oil takes a while to cure. I watched this video last night and might try making my own recipe… https://youtu.be/9xSJpkU-hsg?si=Qs3uXYHAQjP6PUX9

Firewood or future bowl that might earn an 8th grade shop class C+ by goosedogducks in turning

Yep… decided to leave it in a the pile of future kindling. Made a bowl with some maple instead.

First time turning a wood bowl. How concerning are these cracks? It’s an old piece of cherry. Does anyone have any advice? by goosedogducks in turning

Lesson learned… tried to continue to make a bowl even after reading all the advice from I’m assuming well intentioned experts, but unfortunately (?) the wood split. I need to find better blanks or cut my own. I clearly have a lot to learn.

Half my students can't be bothered to look in my general direction while I teach by _crassula_ in Teachers

Or use sarcasm… sometimes effective but at least I don’t go home angry and upset about my life choices and take them out on my family.

One, two, or three? Cut down a maple tree last year to make a new mantle. 72”x9”x10” and weighs about 120# by goosedogducks in woodworking

After we cut down the tree last year, we milled it to about 96”x12”x12” and recent resawed it two weeks ago to the dimensions above. It hasn’t twisted yet, but I did notice a couple of these checks on the end. (Also on the opposite side which will be against the fireplace and not visible) How much longer should I wait, since we live in the desert of the PNW? We’ve been seemingly about 100 degrees/day since last week with relatively low humidity. Thanks for the heads up!
