Woodturning an Ash Bowl with a Lid

Woodturning an Arizona Ash bowl with a lid. This log was very dry and I got it from a neighbor’s bulk trash about a year ago. He had it laying in his yard for a couple years before that so I was not surprised to find it bone dry and full of cracks. What started as an experiment in turning ash for the first time, ended up turning into a really nice bowl with a lid. I am very committed to being environmentally responsible and 65% of my shops electricity comes from my home solar panel system. I also transport all the raw logs in my electric vehicle. I rarely pay for wood for turning projects since there is plenty of local wood that I can use that would otherwise end up in the landfill. I enjoy making art from what would otherwise be trash. I am a relatively new wood turner, so I'm still working on my technique and make plenty of mistakes! All woodworking can be potentially dangerous, so you should not try anything you see me do without instruction. My videos are for entertainment purposes only. I do wear gloves when turning as I have very painful arthritis in my hands and the gloves support my joints. In general, it is not recommended to wear gloves around power tools like this, but this is how I do it.
