Woodturning Butternut Start to Finish: Rough Turning A Bowl, Drying it in a Kiln, and Finish Turning

This week’s video is the start to finish process of turning a butternut bowl from green wood - rough turning, putting it in my dishwasher kiln, and then finish turning to complete the project. This is the first of the batch of six butternut bowl blanks I roughed out in early October. The wood was very wet, cut down August 19th, and was spraying water when rough turning. I forgot to weigh the roughed bowl blanks before I put them in the kiln, but I got down to between 7-11% moisture content in about 4 weeks and I didn’t lose a single blank - no cracking or splitting on any of these.

I also tried a new abrasive sanding paste and finish from Brad’s Workbench and I like the results. I’ll be using Ack’s sanding paste and polish on my next project and expect that will be equally as nice. While I’ve been using up the last of the a homemade batch of sanding paste, at this point I’d rather spend my time turning and not making products that I can purchase from other small businesses.
