I just about maxed out my lathe on this one! In fact, you can hear the lathe squeal a little bit when it starts to turn the full log. I had to rough out the bowl and then put it into an oven for about 12 hours to really get it dry and ready to turn.
Thanks for watching, liking and subscribing. Really helps me out!

Now that's a challenge and a half! The Laguna did squeal a tad but she's a keeper and stood up to the beast. Well done mate!
thanks for the kind words!
If a piece of wood is big enough to make a Laguna lathe drive belt squawk, you know it’s heavy. Nice work man.
True that.
@@CASWoodcraft Hopefully one day I’ll be able to graduate to a big boy lathe myself. I bought a 10x18 harbor freight lathe to learn and see if it was something I would like and stick with. Now it’s been 3 years. It’s safe to say that I enjoy it. lol. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to get a Laguna, which I consider the best you can own and use, but I’ll certainly get something bigger.
Beautiful piece and very well shot! I felt the pacing of this video was one of your best!
thanks Dave!
It’s so beautiful! I love your style, it’s very appealing to me. I wish it were mine! ❤
Thank you so much!
That was cool video and the bowl very attractive
Love the grain pattern on that one.
it had a lot more interesting elements than I expected in the grain
This bowl turned out nice. I am intrigued by your technique, i.e., the use of compression clamps and the oven. I am hoping you will respond to the requests of others regarding the kitchen oven treatment. Thank you!!!
I put it in at 170 for about 12 hours. The compression clamps seem to help avoid splits.
@CASWoodcraft Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the process. I am going to see if I can have some success.
Very nice. Thanks for commenting on your drying process.
Nice job! Aspen is beautiful wood. Too bad it doesn’t smell nicer.
You got that right!
Nice piece! Did you find that the 12 hours in the oven was enough? Or, does it still want to move?
it was bone dry after 12 hours. it shrank quite a bit too
Nice bowl! What was that product you used for the cracks and endgrain filler? Looks like it cured with UV light?
thanks! yes, that was Crystal Clear UV Resin
I didn't know how beautiful aspen wood is. How long did you keep this in the oven and what temperature?
lowest I could go was 170 and I kept it there overnight
Thanks. I was the guy who came up to you at church. Lived in Illinois when I subscribed to you. Now live in Franktown. Am also the brother in law of James who had an aspen cut down maybe six months ago. I am hoping that the aspen on this video was from him because i have some of the same wood too. Can''t believe how beautiful it is. Can't wait to work with it.@@CASWoodcraft
Looks nice. How long did it take start to complete? What did you use to fill the chip-outs?
I probably had about 2 hours of time on the lathe. chipper were filled with Crystal Clear UV Resin
Как здорово! 👍 Какое это дерево? В духовке какая температура? Время сушки? Чем трещины замазываете?
Это осина, которая растет здесь, в Колорадо, в Соединенных Штатах. Я поставил его в духовку при температуре 76 градусов примерно на 12 часов. Там, где мне нужно было заполнить пустоты и трещины, я использовал УФ-эпоксидную смолу.
@@CASWoodcraft Благодарю! 🤝
Did you check the moisture content after having it in the oven. Honey, why do my cookies taste of rotting wood.
it was down to about 3%
