Woodturning: A mesquite bowl with cracks and bug holes
What do you do when you have a beautiful piece of wood, but it's got cracks and bug holes in it? In today's video, I show you one of the many ways to turn those challenges into features.
I hope you enjoy this video. Please let me know if there is a project you'd like to see me make and I will do my best to do it. Thank you for all the support you have shown me and the channel!

Mesquite is a good looking wood and typically makes a good looking piece of work. Well done with this one. Very nice.

I am new to turning, that piece of mesquite was dry, not freshly cut correct? I have read that green mesquite turns much easier but doesn't distort after it's dry, do you know if that's correct? Anyway, I love the bowl, excellent work.

Thank you Robert! This piece was very dry and pretty hard. I have not turned green mesquite, but seeing how it cracks so easy, I'd be worried to turn it green, but that's just me. - Ed
Very beautiful bowl, just one question, have you checked out the bearings on your lathe lately, sounds like a bearing going bad with the ticking sound it is making

@@WolfRidgeWoodworking that is just super sad that the bearings wear out so quickly, good luck with the replacement of them again
The bowl is beautiful but I am worrying about the sound of your lathe.
