Bolt OSB

[keithbyrd]

Bolt action with OSB - Made 6 of these for a customer - excuse the picture - quick shot with my phone before customer took pens! Picture doesn't really show but CA finished and high gloss!

Very nice. Haven't made one of these yet, but the blanks are ready, tubes inserted. Now just need to find a little turning time.

Looks good Keith! Kind of a natural camouflage look. Good job!

How did you turn the OSB? What kind of tools? I tried it once and didn't have very good luck. I thought about having some stabilized to see if that would help, but never got back to it.

It's turned on this neat thing we call a lathe. :wink: It has a motor and, a switch which turns on the power. :wink::biggrin: Stick around!! :biggrin:

The stuff is pretty flaky! I glued 2 1/2" pieces together. Turned it round, soaked it with thin CA, let set overnight, turned with skew and sharpened twice for each blank. Blew up only one blank. Go easy make light cuts with sharp tools.

The OSB looks really cool!
