NYC Wood
I have an ongoing and growing project of collecting fallen trees of NYC and fleshing them into various whittles. Here’s a tree I pulled out of Fort Tryon Park in upper Manhattan, and this is the first bowl I lathed from it.
I really appreciate all your videos and information, Carl. Thank you

Mizer Bowl
The wood was something I had never come across before (Embuia) and I was told that it was hard to use and was bad on the tooling. Well just coming back to turning after an absence of 40 odd years I didn’t know any better and went ahead anyway, now I can’t get hold of this beautiful wood and its all thanks to you and Capneddie..

slatted canister
An original canister was made of 8 alternating slats of walnut and maple on a segmented walnut base. It was turned inside and out on the lathe. The canister was then cut into rings on the bandsaw and sanded. The rings were then stacked diagonally and glued back into the original shape with spacers of small pieces of maple. The whole assembly was then turned again inside and out on the lathe and sanded. A tightly fitting lid was added.
