STUNNING RESULTS - Woodturning Spalted Tamarind To Functional Art Bowl

In this video, I turn a special treat of a bowl from a bought blank of wood that I have always wanted to turn, but never bought until now. The wood is a 6” square x 3” thick spalted tamarind blank that looks to be very spalted, but still stable. The wood is dry, turns well with a sharp tool and takes on a gorgeous shine using Ack’s Pastes. There are bug holes as well and I do run into one punky/bug hole area and have to turn away a bit more than I wanted to, but I am extremely happy with the result. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it.

Have a nice day. 😊
