Box Elder is a dream to turn. We have plenty up here in Montana. I finish a lot of my bowls with Mahoney's oil finish. If I have a problem with end grain, I apply the oil, leave overnight if I have time, and then turn the oiled wood. Works great on cottonwood end grain too. Brass powder and CA glue in small defects looks great too in Box Elder.

While I use the shallac method taught by you, I also from time to time will use a penetrating exopy I get from Total Boat. It is thin and brushes on and can even be thinned further with acetone to penetrate very deaply. While the cure time is long, a treated blank will turn without tearout. I love the design you chose and the end project is beautiful.

Good results from a delicate blank. Liked the use of the shellac and the epoxy - Thin or medium CA glue may also have helped with that soft area. While using resin does include overnight or longer curing time in a pressure pot, it is an excellent way to utilize punky wood if it has become too punky to turn.

In Canada, they call this Manitoba Maple. It grows in Mid Michigan, sometimes with a 4 or 5 foot diameter trunk. I had some chunks from such a tree, but they did not have any red staining. The wood was rather plain, without a grain pattern, but turned easily and sanded well. I applied Danish Oil to it, and left a thick coating to soak in overnight. In the morning, a gummy coating was present. After wet sanding with Danish Oil and lots of wiping with blue Scotts paper towels, that gummy residue was gone and a nice finish was obtained. Thanks for the tips on stabilizing punky wood. I use Minwax wood stabilizer and have been very happy with it when turning punky fruitwood (like plum which has a beautiful purple color).

You have more patience than me, regarding punky wood, Kent. I have many box elder bowls turned but not finished. Once I start getting into patching holes, I seem to lose interest. I guess I'm just saving them all up to complete as a batch someday. I find the best finish cut for softwoods is a true push cut with a 40-degree grind, preferably with a 3/8 bowl gouge. The higher the speed the better works great too. I prefer water-based sanding sealer for punky woods and also prior to the finish cut and again before finishing sanding. Many people prefer the natural look of spalted/colored woods. Oil-based finishes tend to change the true colors. It all depends on what look you're after. I hope you get a chance to acquire a nice piece of box elder just before it gets to that punky stage. While not my favorite to turn, it sure looks nice when you get finished with them. Glad you made it through it and thanks for the inspiration to not give up.😉

Hi Kent. This box elder bowl is absolutely gorgeous. Love the natural colors. On some of your videos, including this one, it looks like you are turning green wood down to the final form, and then applying Tried and True Danish Oil. Are there any issues with the wood changing shape over time, especially since the wood hasn't been allowed to season? The reason I ask is that I got some green wood from my woodturners club (madrone and elm). I'd love to finish them, but, their endgrains are sealed and they are seasoning.
