When the second layer of sealer had hardened, I glued a piece of plywood to the bottom with hot melt glue and made a tenon from it.Then I reverse mounted the bowl with the plywood tenon in the chuck and formed the top of the bowl.Then I removed the bowl with the chuck from the lathe and cut the sides of the square top to size and then mounted the bowl back on the lathe.Once the bowl was back on the lathe, I hollowed out and finished the bowl.To finish the rest of the bowl, I sanded in parts again and applied sealer.Finally, I finished the bowl with friction polish.The bowl is 19 centimeters square and is 5 centimeters high.

woodturning a square bowl of spalted birch HB woodturning 2025-04-14 | I made a square bowl out of a piece of spalted birch.First I sanded the outside and treated it with sealer because the wood was very porous and absorbed a lot of the sealer.After the sealer had hardened, I sanded the wood lightly and applied another coat of sealer.I applied a total of five layers of sealer and a few more on the end grain.After laser engraving my logo on the bottom, I attached a faceplate to the top of the bowl and mounted it on the lathe.Then I attached a piece of plywood to the bottom with hot melt glue, and when it had hardened, I turned it into a tenon.I then mounted the bowl with the plywood tenon in the chuck and removed the faceplate.Now that the bowl was mounted in the chuck, I could form the top and hollow out the bowl.Hollowing out was easy because the wood fibers were very loose, but I therefore had to sand a lot to make the bowl nice because of the loose wood fibers.I also had to treat the top and the inside with many layers of sealer to give it a nice finish.For the finish, I sanded to 600 grit and applied friction polish and buffed to a nice shine.When the top was finished, I removed it from the chuck, softened the hot melt glue with denatured alcohol, removed the plywood tenon and finally finished the bottom with friction polish.The bowl is 15 centimeters square and is 9 centimeters high.
