I cut the tree down in my backyard. I tried to turn this basswood when it was green. It warped. I let it sit on the lathe until it was dry and then finished turning it. This bowl is very thin.

About Me
- Phil Wendt
- Minnesota
- The kids are gone and now I have time. In 1975 we cut down a southern Minnesota River bottom black walnut tree and hauled it to a sawmill. I had it sawn to 5/4” thickness, parafined the ends, and stored it for natural drying. I’ve now taken the wood and planed it and have started building furniture with it.
