The wood lathe is a very satisfying and messy shop tool. I mainly make wooden bowls but have also made a few other projects using the wood lathe.
In the fall I had wanted to do some turning but didn’t want to do anything too big so I tried my hand ay making some Wooden Tops. I watched an awesome video from Worth Effort that really helped me get this down, as you can tell by the thumbnail, I made a few 🙂
I had this piece of walnut that was discarded by a furniture company, they are looking for consistency when they make something like a chair or a tabletop so highly figured sections of wood usually end up in the waste.
Last week my wife requested some wooden bowls for a market she was working. She sells custom-dyed yarn, project bags, and stitch markers. You can find her stuff here on her Etsy.
This was the first of about 5 that I made in around 2 hours, Checkout and follow me on Instagram for more up to date projects 🙂
