This is my best spalted , for now. Is from beech, and I finished with 400 grit sandpaper and varnish. In the last pic you can see the hub from which the bowl comes. I liked it so much that I could not sell it, I gave it as gift.

Set of 3 pieces: 2 holders candles and a vase suitable for a romantic dinner (I think). Made from spalted chestnut. Finished with lacquer and polished with wax. Thanks for watching and comment.

I wanted to see myself as doing a project in end grain. After this experience I find it hard to turn thei wood in end grain. The photos shown the proof: I have not been able to hollow the bowl deeper. And from the pith are developing some cracks. Finished with lacquer.

I had a block of cherry, but it was cracked so that I could not do any for a bowl blank. Instead I took some pieces of which I made ​​these candle holders.The hole ​for candle I made with 18 mm wood drill. Finished with varnish for parquet.
Thanks for watching.

Because wood was altered differently and have different densities now I could not make bowls of it. Besides this it’s a little too soft. Instead perfect fit for candle holders.

This weekend I dedicated my time to a log of walnut. I made ​​two bowls: One natural edge end one shaped fruit bowl. Hope you enjoy.

Last year I got from my mother’s parents’ home a piece of oak plank, over 70 years old. From it I made ​​this bowl with lid. I’m going to make it a gift to my mother. Thus she always have something to remind her the house where she grew up.

Because exercise is the mother of wisdom I made ​​another set of tea lights holders. And as Radu said is the time for mass production. Lacquer finished beech too. Also already sold.

My first tea candle holders. Obviously from the pile of firewood. The wood is beech and I finished with varnish. With this project I learned how to make them come in lathe. In the last picture you can see the mistake: at the back of one of them you can see the recession for chuck. However it seems to have been appreciated since I sold two days after I exposed them.

Last year I found, in firewood pile, two pieces of beech that I have found special. That’s because wood have two colors. So I took the pieces and I glued so that the colors are on opposite sides. After a few months ago I turned this bowl. Waxy gloss lacquer finish. Hope you enjoy.

Even though I struggled almost all day, I could get another bowl from the plank of ash about I told you last week. The hardest part was the sanding of the “legs”. In the last picture, in the lower left we see the board from I cut the blank.

Last piece of a branch of apple received last year turned into bowl. Wood was still quite green and a little deformed after I finished it.

Last year I brought home a trailer of scrap pine that had been used in construction. They were designed to fire. Luckily I found among them a plank of ash. Here’s what I managed to do so far from it.

This an apple tree bow. Finish with 5 coat of Danish Oil. Colors are in contrast with the harsh winter that has come upon us.

Bowl with collar made from beech. The bowl is also segmented (2 pieces). I found these pieces of wood while I cut a trailer of firewood with my chainsaw for my brother-in-law.

Another chestnut bowl from the tree that I cut down. Initially the actual top of the bowl had to be bottom, but I changed positions because of a knot.

A bowl of walnut. Initially I wanted to make a candy box but I quit because I had to expand too much the mouth of bowl. Finished with linseed oil.

On the second day of the year someone asked me to cut a dried chestnut. It was dry for several years. The wood is very soft because it is almost rotten, but I found hard pieces to root. In this area the wood is spalted. This is the first bowl that I managed to finish it. I had two attempts before but the blanks was broken during turning. Finished with linseed oil.

Another natural edge walnut bowl. At this one the bark has not fallen. Finished with linseed oil.

A final piece before Christmas. A walnut bowl finished with linseed oil. I have some stocks from the same walnut tree, and I think that I gives them more time, the logs will become spalted. The first signs appeared on this one. The bowl has natural edges, but a piece of bark fell out.
