Augmented Wood Bowl

I’m new to woodturning, but thought I’d share with you how I made this:

It’s very easy, if you know at least a little about bowl-making on a lathe.  This is just a quick post to show you how I augmented the blank.

I started out with some scrap wood that I saved from my local sawmill’s “To Be Mulched” bin.  It was an offcut that they couldn’t sell, and were planning on turning it into mulch.  I asked if I could have it, and they were kind enough to give it to me for free.

I marked out a basic circle and offset a cross (not religious, I just liked the look and don’t know how else to describe it).

Then I used a miter saw to make the first cut.  I put in some scrap walnut that I dug out of my own cutoffs bin and glued/clamped it up.  I wasn’t thrilled about gluing end grain to long grain, but this was just an exercise in fun.

When that set up, I took it back to the miter saw and made the second cut, placed in the second piece of walnut, and glued/clamped it up again.  This time it was long grain to long grain, so I felt better about it.

Now I needed to find a new center for my circle/bowl, and used sharpie to clearly define where I needed to make my blank on the bandsaw.

I liked the cross being offset.  Okay, it was time to max out the swing capacity on my baby lathe!

After that, it was just another bowl to make.

The hardest part about making this was waiting for the glue to dry.  :)

6.5” chalice bowl. Made from an interesting piece of firewood and I had issues with tool catching, so the base ended up pretty small, but it is stable. Used waterlox finish. #woodworking #woodturing #lathe #woodlathe #homemade #woodbowl https://www.instagram.com/p/CSRyySuA7ka/?utm_medium=tumblr
