Woodturning - The Imperfect Perfect Bowl

In this week’s woodturning video, Harry and I and the local community experienced a pretty crazy thunderstorm a few weeks back that had some very high winds.
Later that day after the storms had passed Harry suggested we head out as good Samaritans and help cut up downed trees. I knew immediately Harry just wanted to go get some fresh snacks.
As we drove around the neighborhood, we picked up some oak, magnolia, a large chunk of pine, and other various unknown woods. I decided to drive through a newer subdivision thinking they might have some interesting ornamental trees. As I was passing by houses I spotted a brush pile ahead…..the wood had a very bright orange color. I stopped and stepped out of the truck and Harry leaped into the pile. After Harry had a taste he knew it immediately was Bradford Pear!
We decided to create a nice bowl from this amazing wood.
We hope you enjoy the video!

Super bowl Robert!

[@ellengraham4677]

Nice bowl guys, just as I like them clean and simple.😘😘

[@1954JDR]

An absolutely beautiful bowl.👍👍

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Beautiful bowl Hodge. Like that you let it warp and then cleaned up only the bottom. Nicely done!

[@tomhoffman8873]

Nice work with that bottom feeder.

[@jeanlong4285]

Beautiful warped bowl.

[@bradwiebelhaus7065]

Good looking bowl, Robert.

Beautiful bowl Robert.

[@missdaisy7576]

Wow 😮 beautiful

[@lenshandcraftedwoodsigns6033]

Looks great.

[@WoodWizardrybyColin]

Stunning Piece mate

[@williamfawkes8379]

Harry, that doesn't even make any sense, but it's still a very effective joke. 😂. The coloration in this wood suggests a beaver was cleaning it's teeth with it.

[@williamellis8993]

Great bowl, Robert. They just banned planting new Bradford pear trees in Ohio.

[@BrickhouseCraftWorks]

Beautiful bowl! Well done, as usual!

[@max42ish]

Nice bowl, what vacuum chuck do you use?

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

I picked up this vacuum chuck at our local woodturning symposium. Here's the website for the guy that made it.

Harry has a lot of fresh savings to eat in the shop. Why eat on the log?

[@SilverBack.]

Great bowl Robert, has Harry found himself a new girlfriend yet

[@stephanielovatt2787]

Nice bowl! I have a lot of fo.g. (found on ground) wood. It's usually free, and people are often thankful to be rid of it. So a real win-win!
