In this woodturning project, I transform a beautiful piece of Elm crotch wood into a natural edge bowl on the Harvey T60S wood lathe.
Using Easy Wood Tools carbide turning tools, I shape the bowl to highlight the natural bark edge and stunning grain patterns found in crotch Elm. The project is finished with Danish oil, bringing out the rich tones and depth of the wood for a warm, natural look.
Tools & Materials Used:
Wood Lathe: Harvey T60S
Tools: Easy Wood Tools carbide woodturning set
Wood: Elm crotch wood
Finish: Danish oil
Techniques Covered:
Mounting and balancing natural edge blanks
Safe use of carbide woodturning tools
Shaping and refining a bowl with natural bark edge
Applying Danish oil for a durable, natural finish
This project is a great example of how to turn a raw piece of crotch wood into a stunning, one-of-a-kind bowl that showcases nature’s beauty. Perfect for beginners and seasoned turners alike!
