Woodturning Bowl - No Cole Jaws For Foot

https://www.AsWoodTurns.com I received this wood, podocarpos, in my club wood exchange. I was not familiar with it but it was a great wood to turn. Since it was only two inches thick, I did not want to sacrifice any height for a mounting tenon typical in bowl turning. Instead, I used a technique more commonly used for large trays or platters. Instead of using a tenon, I cut a mortise in the bottom. All too often, when I see a mortise in a bowl turned by others, it is a deep (ugly) mortise. However, with good techniques, the mortise can be shallow and hidden in the bottom. For this bowl, I decided to buff it. My buffing setup uses a spindle extension "Hold Fast Long Buffing Adapter" and "Beall Bowl Buffs" available in 2,3, and 4" diameters. (I use 4"). Enjoy!
