frank howarth | wood tuning a fir bowl @frankmakes | Uploaded 2 days ago | Updated 12 hours ago
I acquired a free load of fir from a tree not too far away from us. I got a couple of nice logs that I slabbed from this lot. I also got several shorter pieces of fir. I cut them in half to make bowl blanks. I have woodturned two of them into nice sized bowls. In this video, I go through the process without very many edits. You see most of what I do to go from a short log to a finished bowl. The one difficulty I had was getting a good surface on the green fir. I ended up just woodturning with a very sharp 40/40 bowl gouge and not trying to sand the surface. I finished the piece with walnut oil and hope it dries to a nice usable bowl.
