I went to the shop this afternoon without much of a plan other than just wanting to go. In the morning, I worked on a design for another tea light lantern, but I had my mind set on going to the shop.

Bowl Turning | Black Limba
In today’s video, I turn a bowl with Black Limba. This turned out much better than I anticipated. The wood was great to work with, as well. I have another blank that I’m looking forward to turning. The grain of this wood is stunning. Shopify: https://www.sanastationerygifts.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sanastationerygifts

Bowl Turning | Sycamore Bowl
In this week’s video, I turn a bowl out a Sycamore blank. This project ended up killing my lathe – the motor burnt out. I was at it for a good four hours or so. My lathe isn’t all that big or powerful but I didn’t think I was pushing it too hard. I was…
