To create spalted wood I've taken my cut logs down to the mucky bank of our yard pond. I pla e the wood face down and bury them in leaves Spalding. Oak leaves particularly. After a few months I retrieve them. Nice results. There is such a thing as too much spalting though, and the wood can soften (as your sycamore did). Chuckw

Hi Kent, beautiful work as ever, i have been following you since i started turning about a year ago and find your style informative and entertaining, i'm curious as to why you did not use a bandsaw to resize the lid, would have thought that would have been a safer option especially for those of us with a smaller lathe, is there a reason you did it on the Lathe?

Hm? Good question. I wanted to show the process on the lathe. Happy Turning!

Ahoy! I have been watching your videos with enthusiasm and appreciate your skill and your ability to communicate the techniques you employ.

Hello, Kent. I do not write a lot, but I look forward to each of your videos anxiously. I have learned quite a lot and am most appreciative that your share your experience and skill with us. My wife views them with me and asks me to check if you have a new one up yet. She is an artist in her own right - painting and wood carving, but due to severe arthritis she cannot participate in any of her loved activities. Except for the hands-on experience she lacks, I believe she knows as much as I do about bowl turning. I enjoy your sharpening course, and frequently check it out as a refresher. I have one technical question - Can you shear scrape the interior of a bowl? I have my 5/8 gouge set up in the same fashion as your go-to gouge you frequently use. Thanks again. Stan in Birmingham

@TurnAWoodBowl

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you kindly, Stanley (and your wife too). Your question - not really. You can shear scrape a bit along the inside rim, but inside deeper you'll probably get a nasty catch. Use a round nose scraper for the inside. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

I knew about the fungus, didn't know about the mineral deposits. Good info!! I've watched scientists purposefully spalt wood with a variety of fungi... some that will leave different colors like orange, red, and even blue. I thought someone was going to try to market the 'stuff' they used. But never seen anything more of it. When a birch or maple tree gets felled and I can get some of it. I'll spalt it on purpose. Usually in the fall, I'll get some logs about 24" long and set them upright around the back of the garage. Then Anchor Seal the top of them really good. Then wait until Spring and cut into one to see if they are ready. If they are, cut them up into blanks and anchor seal the ends. Then just get them when I can. Usually, end up twice turning them so they don't get too punky.
