- Wood tends to dry out really quick here in Arizona. Not always a good thing ;)
The padauk was SO dry that it came off more like sawdust than shavings during turning even with a freshly sharp gouge.
But it finished up really nice with gorgeous markings on the ambrosia maple!
what do you think? let me know in a comment.
This one found itself a new home as a Christmas Gift for family. Working on some others that will be available in my shop soon, so don’t forget to check them out there!
Thanks for watching!
Wood is Ambrosia maple and padauk, turned on Grizley lathe.
Sanded down to about 3500 grit and finished inside and out with Dr. Kirk’s Scratch Free.
food safe finish and looks great.

I love this, simple and beautiful!
Watching you apply glue and finish with your fingers hurt my brain, but the finished product is amazing.
Thank you so much! you’re right about the glue, i’ve moved away since then from using my fingers, however with the finishes i use, they are completely food safe, and safe to apply with hands :))
I love watching your videos,good job
Thank you so much 😀
Very nice job, wood selection is impressing and the result is flawless!
Thanks for sharing.
Why don't you remove the ring from your finger and the watch from your wrist before the rotating part tries to do it? 😊
Thanks for the tip! and thanks for watching :)
Nice piece, and quite unique. I did find myself wishing you had a bowl saver when you turned it around to chuck the mortise. Lots of beautiful wood there might have been made into a couple of nice smaller ones. (Wish the darn things weren't so pricey!)
i know right? maybe if i can get sponsored, i might be able to get one! thanks for watching 👍🏼
@joinerturner makes a very good point, watches and rings should not be worn around anything that spins. I used to do the same but kept getting warning messages from people I changed my ways. Safety first my friend. Nice bowl by the way :)
so true. thank you!
You did it well. Beautiful piece of wood 😊😊
Thank you very much!
Nice turn! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Very very pretty- good job
Thank you! 😊
Well done very nice.
Just looked unbalanced.
I have also been doing the segmented bows.
At times very challenging.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks, you too!
I have a suggestion. Instead of gluing your layers of wood together to start why not turn tour first layer and have a ring where you can glue the next layer. then cut out the center with a parting tool. and so on as many layers as you choose. saves all the cutting out of the center. makes a lot less work. You will have small circles to play with after.
you’re not wrong. i did a similar thing in one of my first videos, with the “unsegmented ring” but not quite what you’re suggesting - i like the idea.
I have a suggestion!! I’m not sure if it would work!! Using a coring tool, you could have three bowls!!!
i know, right?!! It’s definitely on my wish list for next holiday season ;)
