Bowlweevil Woodturning

Bowlweevil Woodturning Wooden bowls hand turned on a lathe from wood procured locally in southeast Arkansas. I have always been interested in woodworking.

In 2001 a grandaughter clock I was building called for half spindles on the front. I managed to turn it with a drill press and a crude homemade tool, then sawed it in half. I bought a cheap lathe and tools and played. My wife bought me a better set of turning tools and I began making pens from assorted woods and deer antler. To me this was repetitious and after a spell my interest dwindled. A coup

le of years ago I became interested in bowl turning. I have better turning tools now (sorry, honey) and bigger and more precise lathes. I am having the time of my life creating beautiful wooden bowls from Oak, Pecan, Hickory, Maple, Cedar, Holly, Chinaberry, black gum, walnut, and other species of wood. It seems that almost every bowl is my "favorite".

I recently made some bowls for a lady from a tree obtained from her childhood home place. It was a Red Oak tree and the bowls turned out great. She wrote a poem and gave it to me. It IS of God from whom the intricate and minute details of a Wooden bowl are provided. It is only my goal to uncover these hidden wonders. Here's the poem Mrs. Sperling wrote.

Inside A Tree

Mother Nature, some may say,
Gives us blessings through the day.
Scenes of beauty, sounds of joy,
Graceful ladies, bare-foot boy.
Rivers flowing, hills of green,
Pop up flowers in between.

Forest homes for deer and squirrel,
Provide food for all the waiting world.
Trees for shelter, warmth, and shade,
All of this our God has made.

He gave us wood, to fill our needs,
So many blessings from God's trees.
The heart, the pulp, the grain, the bark,
Were trusted to my friend called Mark.

If you have a tree from your home place and would like to turn it into a memory that will last for generations, let me know. If you are local I can try to accommodate your needs.
