My First Bowl From A Board
by Alan Stratton on Friday, September 5th, 2025 | 8 Comments
Creating a bowl from a board has been on my hit list for quite a while. Fortunately, an excellent club demonstration and challenge brought it to the top of the list.
It also breaks my silence. I haven’t posted a video for a while due to many conflicting priorities. Those are being resolved.
Out club demonstration included many options. I have selected the one that fits me the best and brings out the beauty of the wood and the technique.
The bowl is about 10 inches diameter and 5 inches high. All finished with wipe on poly.
Enjoy.
I am glad you are back. I missed your videos. That was a great bowl from a board. I will have to try it. Keep up the good work.

Glad you are back Alan. The very first bowl I turned after buying my first lathe was a bowl from a 500 yer old walnut board. I did use my bandsaw and my fingers are intact, but it was a bit scary.
Glad your back, was wondering why I wasn’t getting any more video’s. Beautiful bowl, I’ll have to watch it again in order to understand how to set up the segmented portion.
It is a fun one.
