Rimmed Bowl
The Natural-Top Wooden Bowls Turning
As the esthetic emphasis in wood A turning has shifted over the last 30 years from the utilitarian to the decorative, turners have begun to explore new designs. Natural-top bowls, which follow the outside curve of a log at the rim, are an example of this experimentation and the recent efforts of turners to highlight the natural characteristics of wood. The bark can be left on the rim or removed. The steps needed to turn such a piece are shown at Woodworking Plans Website.
Natural-top bowls often are given relatively simple shapes, emphasizing the grain pattern and shape of a particular log. Ash, apple, cherry, oak, and maple are all good choices for raw materials, but you do not need to limit yourself to just these few types ofwood. Experiment with what is available and you may be pleasantly surprised by the results.
The drying process can cause some problems with your workpieces. If your wood is green, or wet, the bowl will be easy to turn, but regardless of how carefully the piece is dried, it will warp, perhaps substantially. You should tryto turn the log into a bowl within an hour of cutting, before the piece dries and becomes distorted. An advantage ofthis process is that bark adheres better to green wood. In addition, the piece may warp into a unique and attractive shape.
If you want to minimize warping, dry your stock before turning it. With dense woods, it is best to turn the wood into a rough bowl blank when it is still green to ensure that the piece dries evenly and to help prevent it from cracking.
A microwave oven can speed the drying process: Using the “defrost” setting, put the piece through several briefcycles of heating and cooling until it is dry. If you air-dry the stock, put it in a plastic bag or coat it with wax to prevent toorapid drying, which will cause the wood to crack. Ifyou use a bag, turn it inside out periodically to prevent mold from forming. It can take several weels for a rough-hewn blank to air dry.
