Yup, haworthia and aloe bowls, they look really good inside with rocks covering the soil. Im taking a wood turning class next month just so i can make small planters in wood. Going to see if laser engraving and wood bowls could lead to some creative designs. I imagine you can epoxy it and really make cool, semi cheap planters. Cant believe you already did this. You're an inspiration.

Kent, you should consider upgrading your drill chuck to a keyless chuck. The keyless chucks are self tightening so if they start to slip a bit, they usually tighten up by themselves. You can get Jacobs keyless chucks if you want to spend a lot of money, but the ones from off shore are likely 1/5 the cost, and just as good, especially for this type of work. Get yourself a 5/8" chuck and you'll never look back..... Also, when inserting the chuck or other device into the tail stock, give it a bit of a 'snap' push into place. That will look the arbor into place...... standard machine shop practice.

Lovely project! And the spalted wood looks perfect with this. I'm afraid though, that over time the wood will decay because of the water/soil combination, in spite of the epoxy. I guess you could drill a slightly bigger hole and use a pot liner (? not sure if that is the correct word), an inner pot that can be taken out, also for drainage purposes. Plants love drainage. That being said, I am off to my shop to dig out my batch of spalted silver birch. Thank you for the inspiration, Kent. Keep spinning! edit: in the comments, someone speaks of a glass insert. That's the word I was looking for. A glass or plastic insert would be a good idea.

Very nice project! There's an FDA food-safe-approved penetrating epoxy that I've used for drinking vessels. I have a project I'd love to share with you Kent. Its a cherry wood mug, one side of which retains the natural bark. I use the same grain orientation & general steps you describe here, but 3" foresner. There's a twist however: I shift inside slightly off-center to the outside; this allows the exposed-bark-side of the mug to be slightly thicker than the opposite smooth side. I gain a lotta pleasure drinking my coffee from it. On another note, I've really appreciated seeing you use 5 minute epoxy for stuff... that's gotta be so much better than the long-drying stuff I've disliked using. I don't like using epoxy. I'd love to meet you in person and express my thanks (with tears!) to you for your teaching & inspiration. Chuck w

Well I've made 5 so far. Some spalted, a fog oak, and a wet cedar birds mouth( my first) that I was drying in the microwave. Learned from my sawmill guy that I can get a faster, better dry process by using the defrost setting. I used timed setting, mostly because I couldn't figure out the weight setting, which is what he used at 1 pound. I was running it for 3:33 min. then cooling for 10 minutes. Working great until I tried to excellerate the process by using a salt paste I saw on a woodworking site. BAD IDEA! Bowl cracked twice, maybe the wet salt or just the moisture. If I do that again ill try dry salt. Anyway, thanks again for the great idea. I'll be selling mine at upcoming craft fairs in March
