As Wood Turns | A Tale Of Turning Two Bowls Same Trunk - Opposite Look - Part 2 @AsWoodTurns | Uploaded 9 months ago | Updated 3 hours ago

Last spring I was given a trunk section of Chinese elm. At that time, I decided to turn two bowls from the wood. However, the bowls would have dramatically different styles and turning techniques.
Part one is a natural edge or bark edge bowl turned all at once. It was finished and allowed to dry and potentially warp.
This is part two - a traditional bowl that is perfectly round with not distortion from drying and warping. One differnce was reversing the vertical axis so that the top of the bowl comes from near the pith. Another difference is that this bowl was turned twice with over seven months between the two turning sessions. In the first turning session, the bowl was turned with a wall thickness between 3/4" and 1". After being coated with a moisture resistant sealer, it was allowed to dry. When dry, the bowl was again mounted to turn the wall thickness down to final width. This turning removed all distortion from drying and warping.
Both bowls are finished with walnut oil. This one is 9 inches diameter by 3 inches tall.
In this case the moisture resistant sealer was TiteBond 2 glue that I am experimenting with.
