Turning a Natural Edge Bowl (Woodturning Inspiration)

How to turn a Natural Edge Bowl - Inspiration Series

A natural edge bowl is one where the rim of the bowl utilizes the wood in its natural state. The rim of a natural edge bowl will have an undulating shape, flowing with the natural surface characteristics of the log, and typically will have two high points and two low points due to the curvature of the log section from which the bowl is turned.

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.

Little tip. in german its called: Wie man eine Schale mit Naturrand drechselt.

It looked, to my untrained eye, like your bowl was turned mostly green. Am I wrong? I've not turned a live edge bowl. It sure looks like something worth learning.

[HydroStan]

Is that just a sanding attachment on a power drill?

[MatthewHolmes]

Don’t cut downhill if you want a good finish. The grain is not supported

The sub titles are helpful. Actual narration would have been better.
