      @@janetporter5376 Hi Janet, spalting is a fungus that gets into wood that has been left on the ground in damp conditions, it takes about 6 months to appear and lf left too long can make the wood unusable. It's not dangerous as it dies as soon as it is exposed to air, hope this helps

    I avoided watching this video for ages... I saw the thumbnail and thought "hmmm, I'd prefer a bowl - especially that oddly satisfying way bowls emerge from the wood" but I was wrong.

    If you ever have a similar piece, rotting and cracked, but has a lot of spalting like this, I want to suggest filling the gaps with black epoxy, turning it into a sphere, then setting it up on a little stand exactly like it's a globe, that you can spin. The bold natural patterns just remind me so much of an ancient world map, yellowed with age but still boldly inked. And in the case of the natural patterns, they'd look like unique continents on an unknown fantasy world. ♥ If I could ever get a piece, it would be like this idea.

    I love the completed vase. Very well done as usual. Glad you did continue. Sometimes the wood can be too punky. This was close.
    When you said "I did not intend to turn a vase", in my head I was thinking that if Mother Nature had a voice, she would have replied "I never intended for this tree to become a turning".
    I have a cherry bowl in my stash of failed projects which had normal grain in most of the bowl, but very soft end grain in one part of the bowl. The softer parts ended up sanding more than the rest resulting in a flat spot and lots of bump-bump-bump when sanding. Just an example that even without spalting, Mother Nature can often get the upper hand.

    Lovely piece Mike. Well worth persevering. Nice to see someone actually using the rotating headstock, I was beginning to think I was the only one who thinks it is a good idea and as you say it is much easier to see what you are doing. Also if you stand in front of the bowl opening it is much less likely to hit you if it comes off the lathe. Great video, thanks, Jim

      Many thanks Jim, you are so right. It's easier to see what you are doing and a lot safer as well. You just have to make sure you align it back properly when you're done. I have a little alignment bar I use.

    This is a lovely vase! The spalting is so attractive!
    I did a spalted silver birch bowl, and it fell in half, because it was too far gone. I have kept it, though, as I think resin would/could work on it.
