Wood Turning - Live Edge Bowl

This log had a funky shape, so I thought it'd be fun to woodturn it into a live edge bowl. I had to keep the rim pretty thick to keep the bark, but I like the look and how the project turned out. Slowly getting better with my gouges on the lathe!

Beautiful bowl, bark section came through so thin but stayed in tact, love it!

cool bowl! im usually not a fan of live edge/ natural edge bowls. not because of the bark, but because of their shape. people usually make them a flatter, potato chip shape. yours is actually bowl shaped! and i like it! WTG!

Nice idea leaving that edge on. I'll have to try that too sometime 🍻

Pretty Good Drew 🏆 Maple ? Tool work looks fine by me, but what do I know about HSS?? How do you sharpen ? Slow speed CBN w/jig ? -Mike

That looked like a green wood turning....

[justinstark]

You missed a big chunk of bark!





Hehe just kidding. Nice bowl!

[chuckroger]

Good turning. Yet, it’s a stretch to call this piece “live edge.” 😊🤪

[menglor]

Would it have killed you to at least typed some tool descriptions so those of us trying to learn would benefit from your obvious knowledge and craftsmanship? Got to admit, that’s a turn off to me if you won’t share your craft!
