Odd thing happened a little while ago. Been working on this bowl 10â€x 6 “ had it just about ¾ way done. Took it off lathe to get a better look, kept face plate on. I played around for about 10 min. then put it back on lathe. Turned machine on and it was out of round. Got the wap..wap..wap when I put the gouge to it..
I used a face plate with four screws. Check the screws all were tight except one. Running the face plate didn’t seem to be out of wack when I put my finger on it, seemed pretty smotth. Took bowl off again and on again a few times, trying to screw it in on differently. But no difference wood still seemed to be off balance. Never removed the screws.
The bowl blank is made up of 2 pieces of cherry (3x5) glued together klin dried.
Been sitting in house for a few days. Temp when I started was around 25 it was 45 when I stopped. heat wave !!!!
Is it possible to pick up that much moisture in 10 â€" 15 min to make it change shape ?
Or is there something else sinister going on with my lathe… or ?
thanks pete
