I'm excited to return to a Bradford pear wood bowl that has been drying for eight years. This woodturning project will involve using the lathe to shape and refine the wood bowl, demonstrating techniques suitable for woodturning for beginners. Stay tuned to see the finished wood lathe bowl! In this video I finish turning a Bradford Pear I rough turned eight years ago with an enclosed rim. I decorate with a textured band around the rim. If you’d like to support my work—or simply treat me to a coffee—you can visit: buymeacoffee.com/mikepeace3Y Every bit of support genuinely helps, and I’m truly grateful for it.
