Fresh off the lathe, red oak bowl ready for finish. This one has a home already.
Made from a tree dropped off post Helene damage (and missed the termite damage from the rest of the tree).

The downside of woodturning.
There are wood scraps and chunks everywhere (not to mention sawdust and shavings). Right now there’s a ton of pecan, which doesn’t split well for firewood either. Living in city limits stops me from just throwing a match to it, which is terribly tempting.
Once the bugs find their way in past the cambium layer, it’s a race to who gets to keep the wood; them or me. Since I treat nearly all the woodworking I do as natural as possible, I use no chemicals to stave off the bugs or the fungus. Makes for some interesting pieces, but there is a limit.
I’ll keep chipping away at it.

I mentioned the “aging process”. Well, I have bowl rough outs that go back to 2015; so, that aging process is variable. It really only takes 6 mo. or so. With my process other things get in the way of processing stock. One of which is life in general. With the making of The Maker’s Market a lot of free time got taken up. I am working to get a “shop” over there as well.
I have lots of bowls and raw stock to chose from. Hopefully, all of this will get used up and I will forage more wood to fill in the blanks. Thanks to all who watch this page and show interest in me turning found wood into usable art.

I managed to rough out a couple more bowls from the pecan tree that fell in our yard during Helene. This tree section sat for some time. There is some spalting and some bug holes but it should make for some “interesting” bowls…one day. For now they get the wax and begin the aging process.

A round of bottlestoppers headed to The Maker's Market, LLC . One of these would go well with a bottle of wine. Maybe even part of a valentines gift .
304 stainless steel bases with viton o-rings and wood tops from various woods . Walnut, oak, pear, cedar, and cherry. I’m a big fan of the cherry one.
The walnut came from the side of the road (on the way to the landfill. Cherry from a goat farmer clearing her field. Oak from our old land plot. The pear was from our yard. The cedar was scraps from an urn I turned many years ago.

Natural Edge Cherry Burl bowl.
Roughly 9” diameter x 5” deep.
The burl was given to me many many years ago. I finally turned it and gave it to the person who gave it to me as a house warming gift this Christmas.
This bowl turned out great with loads of character and awesome natural edge. The pictures don’t do it justice, but they never do.

Roughed out some spoon blanks for a little break from turning. This is locust wood fueled from the hurricane. First time carving it. Chops up pretty good with the hatchet. Hopefully the knife and hook knife carve as well.
