I have written extensively about Eastern Black Walnut, Juglans nigra<\/em>, in at least one previous post<\/a>.<\/p>\n Quite recently I had the opportunity to work with additional small pieces of Eastern Black Walnut when I decided to make two last-minute additional gift bowls for Christmas this year. I am quite pleased with the results. The wood turned beautifully. The cuts were exceptionally clean using my EasyWood Tools<\/a> rougher and finisher in the both the full and small sizes depending on where in the process I happened to be. The Easy Wood Tools Hollower #1 also played a significant role in the early hollowing phases. As always, I found that the fresher, and therefore sharper, the cutter head the better results that could be achieved.<\/p>\n On both bowls, to slightly varying degrees, there is some ribbon curl that exhibits chatoyancy effect when rotated under a bright light source.<\/p>\n As I almost always do when working with Walnut, both bowls were finished with two coats of Watco Danish Oil <\/a>in Natural color.<\/p>\n I hope you enjoy seeing these latest pieces to come off my lathe, out of my shop, and into the homes of friends and relatives.<\/p>\n
