Each bowl is roughly shaped on the lathe when the wood is still wet and unseasoned. It then goes into a drying kiln for a number of weeks where the roughly turned bowls will dry very slowly and carefully to prevent the wood from cracking. When dry the bowls are mounted back onto the lathe for the final shaping and sanding. I use a food safe oil mixed with beeswax to finish the bowls making them ideal for salads, fruits or nuts.
