This Video is also posted to YouTube, Vimeo, and FaceBook. Right here at As Wood Turns is where it is best!

This piece of wood came from the club wood exchange. Someone had started to turn it wet but stopped and gave it away. Now it has set around for long enough that it is dry. Fortunately, it did not crack in the drying process. Lucky break.

I kept the original outside shape but that precluded some remounting options for turning the foot. Since the original divot was not true, I chose to carve the foot with a right angle tool with a rasp cutter. That worked better than I expected.

As for the original woodturner- his loss is my gain. It is a pretty bowl.
