Finally!!!
I'm finally back on Whitney's Salt & Pepper shaker set... after a month off.
First I came down with some kind of bug-virus(?) that lasted about two and a half weeks and then we were off to Seattle for Whitney and Cole's Wedding. We were there for a week doing all of the things leading up to the Wedding and the afterwards events.
The Wedding was amazing! Lots of Family there including some that I had not seen for 30 years or more.
I'll try to post some of the pictures and details later.
Needless to say I was not able to finish this turning in time for the Wedding Gift opening, but hopefully Whitney will like it anyway.
Both pieces are 'rough' turned in these pics and the TransTint dye process has been started, the dye will help to highlight the 'curl'
The shaker that is still in the chuck has not yet received the dye as the one sitting on the lathe bed has.
This first application of dye will cure for 24 hours and then it will be sanded back until the dye only remains in the curl. At that point I'll have to decide if it needs more dye or can be finished with just the one coat of dye.
