As the Shavings Fly
Should you happen to look at the “events” tab on the Willow Vale Woodturning website, you will note that we participate in quite a few fairs. Craft fairs provide us with the very valuable experience of meeting many people who are interested in our wooden bowls. We have the opportunity to talk with them, ask questions, and hear their opinions, suggestions and stories. Believe me, it’s all great stuff! In return, we (ok, mostly Al) can answer their questions about wood types, finishes, inspirations and such. Their inquiries regarding woodturning cover many areas, but perhaps the one question that we hear the most often is “How long does it take to make a bowl?” Please allow As The Shavings Fly to provide a basic timeline for turning a wooden salad bowl.

I had no idea there was a waiting period between rough scoop and final turning. This craft must take over your storage space as well as dust it up!

It's interesting to know that wood bowls would have to have the right timing to ensure that they are processed right based on their size and style. I just got curious because I plan to buy wood bowls for my own use. It's because I would love to have a rustic theme going on in my kitchen.
