Bowl blanks

Recommended Posts

I watch a lot of turning videos on youtube. In one of Carl Jacobson videos he said he cuts the heart out of a log and paints the ends with basic paint and doesn't get any cracking. Since I got the new bandsaw I figured I would give it a try. I made a jig to hold the log and made some bowl blanks real fast and easy. They will turn a 9 inch to 10 inch bowl.

rule of thumb for air drying is 1 year for each inch of thickness.

 

you can turn green wood to almost the size you want, and that will lessen your needed drying time, or just let them warp as they dry.  that's a thing i understand.  not my thing, but a thing.
