What is Accoya Wood - and does it make a good bowl?

This bowl is made from a special wood called Accoya. What is that? It's really pickled Pine. This makes the wood dimensionally stable and is able to resist water damage for an incredible amount of years. In fact, I might just have the first dishwasher safe wood bowl!

A very nice-looking bowl. I had never heard of Accoya before, very interesting. I imagine you wore a dust mask or respirator the whole time. I will be looking for your update the longevity of the smell and the durability of the bowl. Did you buy the wood online? Any side of effects of working with it, e.g., staining of the lathe, etc?

Thanks! Yeah, respirator is my preferred safety device. The only side effect was the smell. Even a day later the shavings on the ground kept the smell in the air. Other than that it was similar to turning pine, no staining or anything, it did seem to cut a little harder but otherwise it's just like pine. I sourced it from my workplace.

How much is accoya? I can't find any prices online for lumber. Other than even Accoya saying it's "luxury".

[@blackcoalwoodworking]

Good question. I happened to find some scraps at a local factory that specializes in high luxury stuff and bought it. There wasn't a lot to buy, but enough to test a couple of bowls at least

A good wood is Camphor which smells like Vicks vapor rub an the trunck wood is a different color then the limbs.
