Description :

Turning “green” wood (wood of a high moisture content) is a fun and valuable skill to develop as you gain mastering in lathe work.  Once you know where to look, green wood suitable for turning is relatively easy to find and and opens up a larger inventory of wood to choose from. Green wood is also much easier turn than dry wood;  however, green wood can warp significantly and addressing this requires skills not needed when turning dry wood.

In this two part class you will learn the twice-turning technique of turning green wood.  On the first day we will

1. Discuss various ways to source green wood
2. Explain how to process green wood and rough rounds into bowl blanks
3. Take a green turning blank and “first-turn” it into a rough shape
4. Prep your first-turned bowl for drying

On the second day you will be given a dried (and warped) first turned rough bowl and shape it into a final display piece.  This involves

1. Mounting the warped bowl
2. Turning it round and making final shape
3. Learning techniques that can be used if cracks appear.

All materials and tools included.
