Tommy, that’s ok. I feed the fireplace with many of my wood turnings since that’s all they are worth once I get through with chunks of wood. Nice banana bowl you turned while it lasted!👍👍👍 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Actually I expected some very cool wood grain pattern to show up inside the bowl at the end. Oh well, glad it at least kept you warm and let us see how you create your beautiful pieces. Your work is amazing and every video has brought tears to my eyes. Not because I miss my grandfather but because I get to see what he loved to do through you. Thank you.

Thank you for your heart felt comment. Wood turning is a passion and sometimes an addiction! It is wonderful to "loose yourself" in creating on the lathe. Thank you for watching, Tom

I subscribed just now because it's easy to post a video to be proud of when all goes well, it takes a special person to admit mistake. KZfaq has a tendency to convince you that anyone who turns is "good at it". Great to see I am not the only one who makes mistakes.

Sorry for the ending; however, you sir are a genius! Using alcohol to absorb the water and, then, because alcohol evaporates quickly you end up with a dry piece of wood much sooner. Well done!

Before you decided it was junk and broke it apart, I'd have simply poured a bit of 2 part epoxy clear coat into the bowl and let it dry. Presto - No longer junk.

It was really green, just cut this fall. The alcohol takes the moisture out of the wood so it gets dry quickly. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
