Claret Ash Live Edge Bowl | My First Live Edge | Turning Tuesday

Welcome back to another Turning Tuesday! In this episode, I'm turning a beautiful live edge claret ash bowl with some stunning ripple figure running through the grain. The natural edge on this piece adds a ton of character, and the figuring really pops once the finish goes on.

You might've noticed two furry guests in the thumbnail. Meet Disco (a Cavoodle) and Techno (a Poodle), my four-year-old Party Animals!

They're helping me out this week with a very special “woof bark” pun, since we’re keeping the bark on the rim of the bowl. 🐶🌳

In the video, I walk through the full turning process: from roughing out the blank and shaping the live edge, to sanding, finishing, and dealing with the challenges of ripple figure. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned turner, there's something here for you.

Enjoy the process, and if you like what you see, give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing for more woodturning fun every Turning Tuesday!
