A Cute Little Natural Edge Bowl From Wet Limb Wood

Carpe Diem. Just after watching a woodturning demo turning a small natural edge bowl from a limb, I happened to need to cut a limb from a juniper tree.
Ordinarily, I would have thrown away the wood. But this time, why not turn a bowl similar to what I had just seen demoed? That is exactly what I did.
This is a small bowl turned from a limb from a juniper tree. It is sanded to 400 grit and finished with walnut oil.
Very nice work Alan. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve made a lot of natural edged bowls, including those from a wet limb. But I always had a problem keeping the bark on. Such a simple solution, cutting “downhill” in the area of the bark. My latest has all the bark intact, including an uneven branch end.
As usual, my compliments to the chef.
Best, Jon
