Woodturning Firewood: Spalted Ash to Snack Bowls
We had some firewood delivered recently and there was a bunch of ash mixed in with the load, some of it spalted. Since it was far too pretty to burn, we pulled a bunch of pieces out and set them aside. I don’t know how long the firewood had been seasoned, but it was somewhere between green and dry. The spalting had not gone as far as making the wood at all soft or punky and I’m pretty happy with the two little bowls I was able to make literally by woodturning firewood.

    You can turn things in both orientations, just be careful about using Spindle Roughing Gouge - they shouldn’t be used on a blank turned in cross-grain or bowl orientation, only in spindle orientation. Don’t want a snapped tang!

    Hi Lisa To get the wood worm out just loosen the chuck and then close it on just the head wws so that the wood is not touching the jaws and it will come off with one hand . Hint from the Old Guy's Wood Shop So good to see a lady turning . Have fun making saw dust .

    Hi Lowell! I’ll try that trick next time I get one stuck - seems easier these taking the screw out of the chuck and removing it within vise grips, which has been my method when it was so tight it was turning the chuck, even with the set screw tightened down 😂

    It’s not as scary as you think. Brian Havens has some amazing videos in tool usage and I highly recommend checking those out. It will make sense watching him explain and having an idea about what’s going on with the gouge when you use it. There are lots of great channels with great instructional info and I’ve watched probably all of them but do check out Brian’s videos. I found they helped me a lot and I still go back to them to refresh my memory on stuff - skew chisel, I’m taking to you! 😂

    Hi Graeme! Green wood is way more fun to turn that kiln dried anyway - I just finish turned a natural edge maple log that I’d roughed in early February and dried in my homemade dishwasher kiln. You get wet when turning green wood and burned when turning dry - it’s amazing how hot the shaving are coming off a dry blank! Sometimes the prettiest pieces are ones salvaged from the firewood pile! Cheers, and safe and happy turning! 😁

I rescued several more pieces with either spalting or some potentially nice figure so maybe my luck will hold out. I imagine this tree was standing dead for some time before it was cut down so it has dried out some, but not so much that it’s splintery

    What a great idea to color coordinate your circle center finder!! I am definitely going to copy!! I love your stickers!! Just to share: Whenever my project gives me an issue coming off of the worm screw, I use a strap wrench :-) Another wonderful video.....looking forward to the next one!

    Thanks Laurie! It only took me a year to actually think of a solution instead of just tracing my finger around whichever one I thought was close! 😂 Great idea with the strap wrench - this one made was harder than usual by the stringy-pokey bits along the rim edge but it was on there tight! I’ve actually had one case where it was on there so tight I was turning the whole chuck *while the set screw was tight*! I had to take the worm screw out of the chuck and use a pair of vise grips to unscrew it, and I only hand tighten them on!?

    For sanding out warped bowls, max speed for being able to keep your drill on the wood is about 15rpm. Do that all the time. Had my Robust speed range adjusted. My Vic goes down lower than 15 all by itself. Don't know if you ever checked out my video about 'articulated arm for sanding', but I can't sand bowls without it. Since your arm is resting/supported, all you have to do is pull the speed trigger. This makes it easy for you to hand spin the bowl with the other hand. Some one can make a much better one than I did.

    Hi Lisa, Yep, firewood can be your friend. hehe. These turned out really well even considering the warping. Which didn't seem to slow you down too much - good job ! Thanks for sharing🙏 Take care. -Mike p.s. "you've had a whole half already!" p.p.s. I had a worm screw get stuck once - the chuck unscrewed before the screw budged. I ended up jamming the chuck key between the ways and then all was OK. The advice I got was to wax the screw beforehand.

    Hi Terry! Yes, I should’ve qualified that, it is the slowest setting for the upper set of gears. I find at 140rpm I don’t have any issues getting myself out of the way with a blank this small. Anything bigger I’d have it on the lower setting and would be at that 50rpm mark 👍

    Hi Brad! Yes, I was a bit worried about using a mortise but I did orient it bowl-style and after I’d turned the first piece on the spur drive, I was as relatively confident it wouldn’t be explode or crack as the wood itself was solid. I do use glue blocks as well and that was probably a better choice for mounting these little guys. Thanks for stopping by! 😁

    I love the simplicity of the bowls, Lisa. Well turned! So, now that you have two bowls from the same chunk of wood, turned at the same time, and finished with the same products (except the final coat), can you tell a difference in the look and feel? Do you have a preference?

    Hi Crystal! To be honest, the look and feel of both bowls is pretty damn close. Since tung oil is a drying oil that actually does get into the wood and cure, I think the Tung Wax probably provides a bit more long term protection than the mineral oil used to distribute the wax in the Ack’s Polish, but they both have carnuba wax which is the hardest wax so it may come down to personal preference

    Very nice. The spalting is really cool. I think you sharpen that dovetail tool by honing the top flat on your diamond stone the same way one sharpens thread chasing tools. If you apply the sharpening stone to the dovetail, you are going to reshape the profile. Hope that makes sense.

    I just discovered your channel. I especially enjoy those channels where the turner describes what is happening, and why they are doing it. Those are the people I can learn from vs. the folks that just silently make pretty things with no explanation of any kind. How long have you had the Laguna 18/36, and how do you like it? That is the model I am most likely to buy this Winter.

    I like these snack bowls! There seems to be some bias against small bowls, but we use them every day. If I could make a set of them, with a foodsafe finish, of course, then we could throw away the cracked/ chipped china bowls we have. Wooden bowls look good, are generally lighter than ceramics of equivalent size, and are made with TLC (Tender Loving Care). How can you get better than that?

    Hi Lisa. I love it when turners rescue firewood and turn it into very pretty and functional pieces. Two questions if I may. Why remove sanding dust when your next step is to apply what is basically stone or shell dust imbedded in wax? And , if the wood has been sealed with shellac and polished with abrasive paste, how can it absorb a further finish before you finally buff it? I’m still getting my head around some of these nuances of finishing. Thank you for your time! Cheers, Rick

  • @RatedRWoodturning

    Hi Rick, lisa asked me to lend a hand answering this. But i'll preface this by saying theres a ton of different ways to finish and no single "right" way. Every piece of wood will have different characteristics and every craftsman their own personal prefrences. The key is finding what works for you. But I finish much of my work similar to lisa. Wiping down a project between each grit or before sanding paste has a few reasons. Sanding dust and sometimes abrasive thats come off your sandpaper can come together and form tiny, hard, "balls" for lack of a better word, which could scratch your project. Fairly rare, but an easy wipe down can prevent any chance of it happening. And also clean out pores with dealing with open grain wood. As far as the sealer, thats a great question! The quick answer is that "sealers" such as shellac, lacquer, etc do not completely seal off the wood. It would take a ridiculous number of coats to attempt that. A seal coat is basically there to prep the wood for your final finish. Now theres more to it then this but as you can see i've already written a novel just trying to give a basic answer lol. But I love this question and as soon as the holiday rush is over, i will do a video to try to go deeper down the rabbit hole. Hope it at least gives u a basic idea of the reasoning tho. 👍
