Kent, congrats on 50K. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. My name is Corey F. and I would love to win the bowl because I don't have the money to buy a lathe right now so I want someone who could benefit from the other giveaways to do so. I will have to continue to live thru you for right now on turning beautiful pieces. Thank you so much for your content. You are an inspiration. God bless.

I like this guy; he's a natural teacher. He explains everything he does and along the way imparts what I call "casual wisdom." The only thing I'd like to learn from some of the other content creators is how they manage to stay alive because it seems pure luck the blank doesn't fly out of the lathe and knock their brains out, the whole thing's so unbalanced.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Ha! I agree about some of the others. Thank you and Happy Turning!

Hi Kent, I greatly enjoy watching and learning. I'm left handed and find (as with many things) turning is designed for a right handed approach. Can you make any comments on techniques for lefty's.

To create spalted wood I've taken my cut logs down to the mucky bank of our yard pond. I pla e the wood face down and bury them in leaves Spalding. Oak leaves particularly. After a few months I retrieve them. Nice results. There is such a thing as too much spalting though, and the wood can soften (as your sycamore did). Chuckw

I love spalted wood too but tend to use a quick epoxy for those punky areas. CA probably goes deeper in the wood fibers? Liquidity factors?

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

That makes sense. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@prsearls]

That is really beautiful. The spalted lid contrasts nicely with the bowl. Your comments on similar shapes are important for looks. My wife wants a lid(s) for some of the bowls I've turned for her. This gives me a good idea how to accomplish that; I've been trying to figure out how I would mount and turn the lid. Maybe I'll start on that project this week. Thanks.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Sounds excellent, Paul! You can do it! All the best to you and Happy Turning!

Great video and I love the design of the bowl. I have been looking at a walnut blank for a couple of months with no plan for it and I think this is will be the inspiration for it. Thanks, as always, for your work and your instructive commentary. There are lots of turners on YT but only a couple who offer helpful instruction along with wonderful design and execution.

I knew about the fungus, didn't know about the mineral deposits. Good info!! I've watched scientists purposefully spalt wood with a variety of fungi... some that will leave different colors like orange, red, and even blue. I thought someone was going to try to market the 'stuff' they used. But never seen anything more of it. When a birch or maple tree gets felled and I can get some of it. I'll spalt it on purpose. Usually in the fall, I'll get some logs about 24" long and set them upright around the back of the garage. Then Anchor Seal the top of them really good. Then wait until Spring and cut into one to see if they are ready. If they are, cut them up into blanks and anchor seal the ends. Then just get them when I can. Usually, end up twice turning them so they don't get too punky.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you for writing and sharing, Jon! Check out Sara Robinson at Oregon State University. She has spalt fungus to sell. She also has a couple books on the topic. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

Great bowl and video once again Ken. I've been using spalted wood in both my cabinet work and turnings for over 30 years. It's hard to believe but at one point any wood that was spalted was immediately placed in the firewood pile.

Hello, Kent. I do not write a lot, but I look forward to each of your videos anxiously. I have learned quite a lot and am most appreciative that your share your experience and skill with us. My wife views them with me and asks me to check if you have a new one up yet. She is an artist in her own right - painting and wood carving, but due to severe arthritis she cannot participate in any of her loved activities. Except for the hands-on experience she lacks, I believe she knows as much as I do about bowl turning. I enjoy your sharpening course, and frequently check it out as a refresher. I have one technical question - Can you shear scrape the interior of a bowl? I have my 5/8 gouge set up in the same fashion as your go-to gouge you frequently use. Thanks again. Stan in Birmingham

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you kindly, Stanley (and your wife too). Your question - not really. You can shear scrape a bit along the inside rim, but inside deeper you'll probably get a nasty catch. Use a round nose scraper for the inside. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
