What was once considered scrap wood is now a stunning Iroko wood bowl! In this video, I take a piece of Iroko that was destined for the trash and transform it into a beautiful, functional bowl on the Harvey T60S wood lathe.
Using carbide woodturning tools, I shaped the bowl, sanded it smooth to 240 grit with Klingspor abrasives, and finished it with Hampshire Sheen Danish Oil, a food and toy safe finish that really brings out the warm golden tones and grain of Iroko.
This project is all about seeing the potential in what others might throw away—turning forgotten wood into something special.
