How to make a Pedestal Bowl. Beginner Woodturning Projects

In this woodturning project, I create a striking pedestal bowl using a combination of ash and beech wood. The bowl section is turned from ash, while the base is crafted from beech, giving it a beautiful contrast. I stained the base with Black Intrinsic Stains from Hampshire Sheen to add depth and drama to the piece.

For the finish, I used Yorkshire Grit abrasive paste to smooth the surface, followed by a glossy shine with Hampshire Sheen High Gloss Finish. The entire project was turned on my Harvey T60S wood lathe, using carbide woodturning tools from Easy Wood Tools for precision and ease.

Ash wood (bowl)

Beech wood (base)
