What are Woodturnings? Commonly seen woodturnings are wooden salad bowls. Salad bowls and other woodturnings are made on a machine called a wood lathe. The woodturner uses a chisel like tool called a gouge to shape the wood spinning on the wood lathe.
The wood used in these articles has been collected, milled, cured and turned by Bill. The wood is collected mostly from San Francisco East Bay city trees that are taken down by storms, street or home repairs, or disease. Milling is done with a chainsaw and lots of heavy lifting. Curing is done either by letting the rough cut wood air dry and then turning it on a lathe, or the green fresh cut wood is lathe turned into a finished item and then allowed to dry.
