    White Oak Burl NE

    I started out with a larger piece intending to do a taller NE form, but the wood had other ideas. It came apart into pieces and left me with a chunk that I salvaged into this small piece. It ended...

    Figured Ash Vase

    I got this wood in a big load I hauled back in the summer. It came from land just north of Greers Ferry Lake in north-central Arkansas. The wood has lots of color and figure in it. There's curl on...

    Dave - I turn it on center when I'm doing the top... so the bottom ends up just like the top. Then I go back to the other axis and turn a tenon on the bottom. I have a few pics I took along the...

    That looks like a good start, Jason. I would probably have turned it thinner so that it would dry quicker and probably be less prone to crack. I've been told by a couple of guys that they turn...

    Biaxial Black Cherry

    Took a break from NE bowls and decided to try something just a little different for me. I've done one other piece like this a few years ago and plan to do more. This piece of Arkansas Black Cherry...

    Derek, you know what I use and what I like. I'm surprised that I seem to be the only one using P&N tools. That's okay... more for me when I need another one. I like turning my own handles. ...

    Scott, you may want to check their site again. I believe Keith showed me yesterday that they are now offering different bars, including both a smaller (5/8")and larger (1") diameter. I don't recall...

    I just eyeball it, to be honest. The walls are 7/16" right now, so was probably around 1" when I roughed it out. In my own experience with Arkansas Black Walnut, the thinner it is roughed out the...

    Black Walnut Natural Edge

    I typically get Walnut like this by the trailer load, and I can't resist turning natural edge bowls when the wood/bark is good. So here is yet another one of them (with a few more still to come at...

    Derek, you'll be better off buying DNA in a 5-gallon can than the individual gallons. You can get a 5-gallon can from Whitt-Davis in Greenbrier for less than $50.00 (before tax). Plenty of other uses...

    Another Black Cherry NE

    Another NE from the same stash of wood as the other NE I posted not too long ago. Not much different than the other bowl, but the wood is too pretty not to share.
