Misc Turned Firewood 2020

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Misc Turned Firewood 2020I thought that I would finally post some of the things I have turned over the last year or so. These are some of my favorites. I'm always looking for interesting things to try or sometimes it just evolves based upon the chunk of firewood I mount on the lathe.1: Spalted Sycamore bowls a from a log a friend down in Austin collected for me. It sat around for a while before I was able to get it from him and the results of my sloth were pretty stunning.
2: Eastern Red Cedar bowl from a chunk of wood from LJ Duckmilk
3: 2 Bradford pear bowls from a large crotch. The bark inclusion and gap is filled with epoxy with a mica dye.
4: Arizona ash sphere and small platter made from the end that was mounted in the chuck. AA has a reputation as a trash tree but I have been pretty impressed with the quality of the wood I've gotten from this particular log.
5: Bradford pear hollow form from a 3-way fork with ebonized BP finial. I love the way that the bark on BP machines and polishes smooth.
6: Tiny Cedar vase sitting on live oak live edge “bowl”. The bowl was turned from this piece I sliced off a log when cutting some boards on my bandsaw. I was experimenting to see if I could turn this into a bowl.
Instead of creating another posting, here are a few more experimentsEastern red cedar box
Ash Cedar Orb
Inception top (still spinning)
Heart rotted oak
Silver maple. Loose knot was filled with epoxy and dye

Ringmaster plywood orb.
Bradford pear hollow form. Experimented with coloring with Transtint dye. (I guess I forgot to take a picture with the ebonized finial I made for it.
