Woodturning Green Bowl & Carving Foot(s)
This video is best viewed here on this page. In case of a gremlin attack, it is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook.
I had this honey locust block of wood sealed with wax sealer and wrapped in plastic.
When one of you asked about a footed bowl instead of a bowl foot, why not use this wood.
I still consider the wood green but maybe it has lost some moisure. In any case, I will turn this bowl all at one instead of rough turning followed by time to dry, followed by final turning.
I did let it dry about a week before carving and sanding to prevent excessively wet wood from clogging my tools and sandpaper.
Then I marked off for three feet and carved them from the old tenon and waste wood.
The honey locust bowl is 8 by 2 finished with walnut oil.
Enjoy.

Alan, the bowl looks great. I always enjoy your video demos, even though I don’t always remember to say thanks!
Best,
Steve
I guess that is okay as long as I remember to post a video every week. 🙂

Alan, just competed a 3 day Woodworking Show in West Springfield, Mass where the promoter invited all the turning clubs in Mass and Connecticut to have a dedicated space to demonstrate and display, the resultant camaraderie and public interaction was great.
We were not allowed to sell but it was a lively discussion as to what sells, what price and what venue, the only conclusion was that bowls don’t sell, at least for any “reasonable” amount.
Very interesting result. What was the best selling item (with reasonable price)?

Thanks Alan, great video (as always!!). I’ve been wanting to try a footed bowl so this gave me the information I need to give it a try.
Glad to be of service.
