Spalted Ash Bowl

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


This small bowl is my return to turning. Last item I turned was “In The Realm of Speculative Fiction” in July of 2021. This was turned from a blank of wood I prepared last summer and the wood was much more dry than the usual greenwood pieces I turn. I was happy to discover some spalting had occurred and this adds some much needed character to an otherwise simple bowl. It is a slightly closed form and upon finishing the shaping I found a few beetle burrows in it. I used an quick setting epoxy with some mica (apple green and olive green) to fill in the holes. It was a fun and quick project. I have quite a bit of pecan and ash so expect some more turnings soon.
Thanks for looking.
