A Calabash bowl features a round bottom and is typically turned from green wood so that it warps slightly, imitating traditional bowls made from gourds in the pacific islands.
The purpose of our Inspiration Series is simply to showcase the beauty of woodturning and inspire creativity. No sales pitch or in-depth instruction, just sit back, watch and enjoy as a craftsman creates a beautiful turned piece.

Amigo gostei de seu trabalho. Ainda não tenho um torno,estou montando um e pretendo aprender a fazer algumas peças. Valeu.

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

De nada

[@Brandobeesandwood]

Great shape and a fun turn. Two questions. Was the blank a green blank all the way to putting finish on it? Would the oil help from keeping the wood from checking if it is still green when finished? Looked like there was some slight water in the flute of the gouge thats the reason I ask. Cheers

[@rcplaneguy]

What wood species? And what was the size of the blank?

[@CraftSuppliesUSA]

It was made out of Sycamore and it was a 4"x 12" x 12" blank.

Turn off the music

[@imapseudonym1403]

I wonder how many of us watching could afford to buy that chuck, let alone the lathe. Kind of hard to get inspired by your videos when everything you show costs more than my car!

[@JontoDickens]

Not bad for a first attempt mate. A bit more practice and you'll soon get the hang of it.......
