Great video 👍

I hope one day we get to see you turn a beautiful burl Madrone bowl! The way it warps sounds so cool, I'd love to see you make that bowl when the Madrone is in season! Thanks for another great video, Tim!

Exceptionally shiny today :-)

Excellent video as always Tim. Any health concerns with turning spalted wood? Ron

[@glencrandall7051]

Do you suppose putting the blank in the refrigerator would be of any use? Since it's shipped wrapped in plastic could you just leave it wrapped until ready to turn?

Nope (long time Madrone turner

NW Figured Wood has changed hands and no longer sells to the public, but wholesalers only

Hang a cheap (but not too cheap) shower curtain in front of your cabinets. Another one on the other side too. Will do wonders to keep the water from getting everywhere.

[@ralphlindberg1299]

The cabinets opposite our big lathe have a stripe from turning Madrone

How embarrassing for you.

Not sure if others know you can also, Rough turn the bowl then BOIL THE MADRONE for 4 hours and let it cool in the water. Next day take it and let it dry on counter. Then simply let dry in your shop like any other wood (eg Maple). It won’t crack or move. It makes beautiful bowls that can be decorative or functional!

[@ralphlindberg1299]

Joel is correct. I don't boil that long but it works
