Title: Still on the lathe...
Post by: Arkyyoter on April 21, 2007, 05:14:44 PM
Hi guys....here's the first call turned on my new Rikon lathe....I think that Rikon is going to be a very nice little lathe...so far I love it!!!

Here is the second call in my new style...it is still in the lathe, and still needs several more coats of finish and buffing...but I thought I would see what ya'll think of it....

It is Water Buffalo Horn, and a decent piece of Amboyna Burl....I got some goodies in and couldn't wait to get started with some of 'em....

Here's the new lathe...

Looks good from here.
It's another completely different shape. Are you in transition?... or just free wheeling shapes as you go? There for a while you had a signature shape going.

How can you have a shop that clean.  I can't even see the floor in mine.  I have come to conclusion that the more dust and chips I leave on the floor the softer it is standing in front of the lathe.

Joe,  That call looks great.  I look forward for the new line to be released to the gen pop.
