Strange as it is, Ive never worked that much with ash. Few bowls here and there but nothing too crazy. It's not a bad wood! really cool when you get it nice and thin. Dries out in a snap both of these were finished the same day they were turned. I'm sure they will warp a bit but I turned em pretty darn thin so hopefully it wont be that bad.They both had some nifty sunburst (what I think are mineral stains) commin out of the heartwood. Anybody have a favorite finish for ash? I've tried a few but I really kind of like the coloring when it's natural... The vase was the tallest thing I think I've turned at 13 inches... Was pretty relieved to finish it without incident
oh also... anyone have any good plans for building a photo booth? some of my camera pics just dont show the piece that well :furious: anywho... enjoy all, happy turnin,
