Willow Wood Bowl - Woodturning

Welcome back! This is just a short video on turning some willow wood into a wood bowl. Willow wood is very light. A little warning if you get any wet, let it sit outside for a day or two. You'll thank me later lol. The wood loves to suck up water as willow trees love wet areas. It has a sour smell and oozes the water out, making a mess, a big one. Looked like someone poured salt on a giant slug.
I sanded this one to 800 grit and finished with two coats of danish oil. Nothing to fancy, one of many twice turned wood bowls you'll be seeing. I recently did a small arts festival and needed more inventory.
Thanks for watching!

I’ve got a total of 8 more bowls coming your way while I get this organ bowl done. Had a failed casting 🤬😂

I always wondered what willow looked like, it falls down all the time around here, Nice looking bowl Mike, Thumbs up as always !

[@EppsCreations]

If you decide to get some, if it’s wet, let that crap sit outside a day or two. Loaded with water. Soft and light weight. Loads of colors in it though!

Very pretty, that has some great colors in it. Now I want to find some😁

[@EppsCreations]

I was lucky enough to have a buddy to contact me when he cut this one down. I have some rather nice blanks of it. Light and soft so be easy with it if you find some.

Very nice, I was offered black willow but never got the chance to pick it up, your piece makes me wish I had.

I always welcome the chance to mess with a new type of wood. Just never know what’s inside of them. Trees can vary from location and type of soil they’ve grown in from what I’ve seen.
