Woodturning | a big walnut bowl

This is a twice turned walnut bowl : it was turned wet and left to dry for a year, then turned a second time to get it perfectly round. It is 28cm in diameter and 12cm high. It isn't that big overall but it was the biggest walnut trunk I had seen in my area. The spalting is always a nice bonus.
Voici un bol en noyer tourné deux fois : la première fois il était encore humide alors je l'ai fait séché pendant un an avant de le tourner une seconde fois et qu'il soit stable. Il mesure 28cm de diamètre et 12cm de haut, ce n'est pas si grand que ça mais c'était le plus gros tronc de noyer que j'avais vu dans mon coin. Et en plus il est échauffé.

I have two pieces of walnut that big. I have been turning for two years, and had them that long too, and now it’s time to turn them. Thanks!

Great size. I like some of the bigger pieces. Have you ever considered a double bowl? A smaller bowl in center of the larger. Retaining the details and grain of the wood. I enjoyed the video.

Now that's an interesting idea 👍 Thanks!

@@ardwoodcreations I used to draw, some painting, wood carving, and other arts. I studied under Monta Philpot Black. Many years ago. I had to go back to work and put my art down. Now disabled and struggling, I'm trying to pick it back up. Now the pieces I've done lately, just to get a feel for my pencil again, I keep giving away for kindness from others. 😌 I've always been good with my hands and have a good eye for flow and lines. I really like abstract designs in the wood. Accents grains creates a flow of lines. Keeps eye on (in) subject. Sometimes it takes a bit of hand work for the shapes. Good energy🏞️
