11:15 Summary
In today's video I will demonstrate the steps I take to turn freshly cut logs sections into bowl blanks ready to turn on the late. I'll be using my shop-made circle cutting jig, although these jigs are commercially available I'd suggest that you make your own. There really pretty simple jigs to make and I'm guessing you'll find them useful for other projects besides preparing rough wood to be turned.
A note about PPE (personal protection equipment): In this video I decided not to use a face shield I would normally use with the chainsaw. It was very humid that day and my safety glasses were fogging up inside the face shield. (The glasses have reader magnification so I can't go without them). Use your own judgment on which forms of PPE you decide to or not to use.
How do you think the bowl blanks “turned” out?

Hi just came across your channel and enjoyed watching. Your preparation of bowl blanks was very helpful and your cutting jig and explanation was very helpful. When you seal the blanks how long would they normally take to dry to a point when they would be ready for use?
Even a smallish blank of say 10 inches could take years to dry. I rough turn them green to about 10% wall thickness of the diameter. Those get put in a cardboard box of the blank’s own shavings and it’s sealed shut. A walnut roughed blank would be ok to turn in maybe 6-9months.
So looks like you processed 4 logs. My question is, if your not planning on using them right away should I leave them in log form or process them and seal the ends?
Brian, you can do either. A couple years ago I left several maple logs under my deck with sealed ends for about two years. They spalted really nicely before making them into bowl blanks. For many reasons it’s just my preference to usually make the bowl blanks immediately. Two of which are less chance of bug infestation and I can store the pieces up on a high shelf in my garage. Take care and good luck with your project Michael.
Thanks for getting back to me. I’ll try it both ways and see what works best for me. I’m picking up a walnut tree soon and was wondering how best to process it.
Sorry I forgot to ask this before. What are the dimensions of the plywood for your jig? I know you said 1 inch thick.
My jig is 32” x 23” x 1” customized to fit my Grizzly G0513X2 bandsaw
