In this video, I turn a beautiful Acacia wood bowl featuring a deep black epoxy inlay — a bold and elegant woodturning project that’s both fun and satisfying!
🪵 About the Wood:
Acacia is a dense and durable hardwood with rich golden-brown tones and dramatic, wavy grain patterns. It’s a joy to turn and finishes beautifully — especially when paired with striking resin details.
