Woodturning - firewood or Gold? downed by thunderstorm, monster walnut log begets a gorgeous bowl!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Bowl was super wobbly on my lathe, throughout most of the turning for two reasons - first because i turned the rough cut log without much trimming, and second, it had a really nice top curve with the bark that i wanted to incorporate into the finished bowl…but that meant dealing with this hideous wobble when finishing both the outside and the inside of the piece!!! Had to go over sections more than i would have otherwise because of that.
means i probably need to consider bolting my lathe down to the floor ;)
after all that, i think it turned out really nice.
let me know: what do you think? let me know in a comment.
Wood is live edge walnut, turned on Grizley lathe.
Sanded down to 800 grit and finished inside and out with Dr. Kirk’s Scratch Free.
food safe finish and look great.

    If you don't wanna cut it balanced, you could add temporary weight to the lighter side to stop the whole thing jumping around.

    Yes, you should secure the lathe...it is dangerous...if it slides to the edge and you instantly try to prevent it from falling, you could suffer severe injury. Also it would be a shame to ruin a nearly finnished product.

    do you have a shape in mind or do you just like taking off wood? the proportions just aren't right. the base is way to small and it looks top heavy. the wood grain and color looks great, but the shape is just a waste of wood.. sorry but to me, it's just ugly..
