Woodturning a bowl is always a pleasure for me. I am excited to see what can emerge from a block of wood.
When I started woodturning, my wood had to be dry. What else was there? As I learned about drying, cracking, and warping, I also learned about turning green or wet wood.
I've tried many different ways to accelerated wood drying. Some require expensive chemicals, extensive processing, or a prolonged heat source. I've decided to be patient and use a twice turned technique for bowls that are to be perfectly round - no warping allowed. (All at once is a different exercise - with a different result.)
This box elder was turned to a wall thickness of 3/4 to 1 inch. Then coated with a green wood sealer and left to dry. After months of periodically weighing the bowl and recording its weight, the lack of weight loss indicated that it is dry and can be finished turned.
This is finished with walnut oil and buffed for a moderate shine. It is about 8 inches by 3 inches.
I'll always come back to turning a bowl.
Enjoy!
