Woodturning: A Bowl of the Warped Persuasion

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This ambrosia maple log was cut just 3 weeks before it was made into this bowl. The wood is dripping green. To escape splitting during drying, I turned this bowl very thin. As it dries in the weeks following this video, it will develop a beautiful wavy rim.

    Now THIS is how you make a turning video. Camera shots are stupendous! Shavings everywhere and I felt like they were landing on me too. At 4:23 is see the CC come up RING TOOL. Say what? That looks like a handy unit there. Do I need (want, same thing right) a new tool? Not enough o’s in cool to describe this video and the finished art piece. So glad you share your experiences, your knowledge and attention to detail. We can only watch in amazement. Little jealousy there too.
