The Inside Story – of Elm
… This is one of the blanks from last weeks harvest at our place in Telemark

Now turned into a bowl… 40 cm diameter, 40 mm wall thickness. First time on the lathe. Wet, dripping wet. Will warp. Dry and ready to be turned true in may be two years. Elm dries slowly!

Clients in the Clinic
Ref. yesterdays post. Reporting introductory healing on the lathe and onwards to a long rest, wrapped up and put to sleep in a paperbag.
This time I have skipped the bandsaw phase, turning the outside and making the tenon (ref. even earlier posts). Each photo/phase in the clinic described in alt. text.

Post 2: Harvesting wood can be just as, and sometimes even more! exiting as turning. The lust for trees grows stronger by the turning years. This guy is several hundred years old, until recently a in central : «Dead Master Laughing». Makes for some unusual shapes and turning. Natures own

Hope to meet the folks in the Fediverse who are into woodturning, or plan to be – and share what woodturning, trade or hobby, is about. This post, and the upcoming ones, will mostly be about my woodturner daily life and surroundings; workshop, tools, harvesting wood etc.

Post 1: A peep into my workshop some days ago.

Natural-edge bowl made from Korean Evodia (Tetradium daniellii), a small deciduous tree native to Korea and southwestern China. It was salvaged from a specimen that had to be taken down at the Barnes Arboretum at St. Joseph’s University last fall. 8.5" x 7.75" x 3.75" high. (21.6cm x 19.7cm x 9.5cm)
