Natural edge laburnum bowl

[George Watkins]

hello folks

I made this natural edge laburum bowl from a piece of branch wood this morning.

the branch was 9" long by 4" diameter


with the tailstock brought up for support I start to shape the outside


here is a short video of me hollowing the inside

and another short video but this one was filmed in slow motion, as I was trying to capture the tool passing through air/wood/air/wood etc
