My typical process for turning wooden bowls begins with local trees that are still green. My goal in selecting the wood is to find a stable section of the tree with interesting figures or grain patterns. I turn a bowl blank while the wood is still wet. Over time, the bowl-blank becomes warped as it dries, and sometimes, it becomes cracked and unusable. The blanks that survive 6-8 months of drying time make it to the final turning. The bowl is returned to the lathe and turned again to correct any warping. Finally, the bowl is signed, sanded, oiled, polished, and waxed for a beautiful finish that brings out the best features of each one-of-a-kind wooden bowl.
