Woodturning an Off Center Bowl

This is my first time woodturning an off-center bowl. I used poplar for this one, but I suggest using a hardwood, for less tearout.
Many of the woods I use are from trees that are cleared for construction. This is wood that would otherwise be burned or end up in a landfill.
To me, it is exciting to find the hidden beauty in a chunk of wood. Even a very plain piece of wood offers design opportunities. When working with plain wood, I often enhance the wood by carving or burning. My carved and burned designs mimic textures and patterns found in nature.

    Variable speed, rotating head lathe ... a great turner ... an amazing imagination ... artistic ... I'm not envious at all 🤣 The matt black paint on the rim is perfect (maybe try burning the next time), the dot painting is simple in concept but it just looks soooooo good ... overall another beautiful piece 👍

    Ooh, so brave ! Good solid lathe like yours helps a lot eh? But the finished bowl ? *Wow* ! The moment it appeared at the end I was taken by how beautiful it was Heather ! The black was the perfect choice to make the delicate dotwork stand out. Outstanding ! Thanks for sharing. Take care. -Mike
