Redbud bowl
Oct 30, 2015
I was excited to see the Redbud bench posted as I’ve been doing some work with Redbud recently as well. Turned several green bowls from a friend’s tree that came down in a storm. Unfortunately, they distorted and cracked pretty badly and I thought they were lost.
After filling the cracks with colored (black) epoxy, this first one turned and finished really nicely. I just need to finish rubbing out the inside bottom of the bowl. I have a few more and I’m experimenting with other epoxy treatments for the cracks. A smaller bowl I dried from green in the microwave turned out great, and that’s my recommendation to anyone who comes across some of this beautiful wood.
