With a wall thickness of about 1/8” it’s a little delicate and when placed in the sun light in the correct orientation it becomes translucent and glows. 10.25”x3.5” ambrosia maple. #woodbowl #woodbowlturning #turningbowls #turningwood

There are several rewarding moments while turning but this part is the most fun. For those interested I’m using a 5/8” bowl gouge with a 40/40 grind, lathe at 1000rpm and f:8. The bowl blank is about 11”. #bowlturning #turningbowls #woodbowls #turningwoodbowls #woodturning #turningwood

Bradford pear is an invasive species and doesn’t display the character of say cherry but it turns beautifully wet or dry. It is a treat to work with. Though not particularly glamorous it can be quite handsome.
