I'm in the process of sanding a natural edge camphor bowl and I wanted to mention that I only use carbide tools and I don't need an excessive amount of sanding to get a nice finish on any of my turned pieces.

I saw a photo of a Robust American Beauty lathe and thought how much nicer it looked than my white Jet lathe (which has gotten a bit dirty looking in 18 months). So I painted my Jet "Hammered Black" today. It's still not as pretty as the Robust but it's an improvement.
