Odd Olive to Amazing Art Woodturning

This is the first piece I turned from a big slab of olive wood. The shape and condition of the blank were so unusual that I decided to make it a “non-conventional” bowl/turning. I watch a lot of Phil Anderson’s turning videos, and his work inspired the way I treated this piece. The grain and figure is just gorgeous and it can be displayed flat or standing up to show the inside or outside of the bowl. I hope you find this as fun to watch as I found it fun to make! Thanks for watching!

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. 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.
