Probably not THE best wood for a bowl. It is so soft that durability is an issue. I don't know if I have an opinion on the BEST wood for a bowl. It all depends on intended use. A good, utilitarian bowl could be made out of something hard and non-toxic, like Oak, cherry, or maple. Whereas an artistic, more aesthetic piece may use exotics or even intricate segmentation or inlay work. It really comes down to preference, IMO.

Can you post the measurements on the stuck you use to mark out your bowl blanks thank you
is the wood dried? how dry does the wood have to be for this?
Skip the music mate, spoils the video

I was wondering what grind you had on your bowl gouge. Was it a 40/40 grind?
you make that look easy, that's a massive lathe you have there...
first time for cotton wood for me. turned out great.

If it's good and dry it burns ok
good work. I liked your presentation.
Very neat!!
Very nice, Is Cottonwood the best wood for bowl making ? What's the best wood in your opinion ? Thanks.

One more question, sorry. What do you treat the bowl with if any when all is said and done ? Thanks again !
Any hardening oil such as Tung oil, walnut oil, etc. for basic finish. Varnish/ Poly for high gloss and polished finishes. Thanks
Might want to look into using a penetrating epoxy as well.
не плоха 👍👍👍😎
