Turned out not too half bad. There are some minor flaws and I need to figure out a better way to finish the foot, but pictures don’t do the wood justice. #woodworking #woodturning #bowl #greenwoodturning #manitobamaple #boxelder (at Northwest Calgary, Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqgpPF5A318/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ix7b51mpi38j

The litre DIY bow kiln is working great. Got some elm and box elder blanks drying out. Takes a little less than a week to get a blank to dry to moisture equilibrium, which around here is about 6-8%. #woodworking #woodturning #greenwoodworking #greenwoodturning #kiln #diy #bowlblanks #bowl #elm #boxelder #manitobamaple (at Northwest Calgary, Calgary, Alberta)

Managed to sneak some shop time tonight to rough out a pair of bowls from a small #boxelder log. Part 2 of 2: The inside #woodworking #woodturning #bowl #greenwoodworking #greenturning #manitobamaple #vicmarc #vl300 (at Northwest Calgary, Calgary, Alberta)

Some people don't like Manitoba Maples but I do 🌿🌳🍃 #manitobamaple #treesofinstagram #treesofottawa #naturephotography #urbanjungle (at Iona Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPgLduCpAH8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Our front yard tree, a Manitoba Maple, has been worrying me for some time. Two large branches already fell off. Now our arborist tells us that it's pretty rotten, and can't promise it won't break off soon. Now to decide - cut off the bulk of it, and leave it as a wildlife habitat, or cut the whole thing down? #treeproblems#manitobamaple (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHL1EAog_fa/?igshid=1sbvgbol3m8rz

I now remember why I haven’t touched this piece for a few months. Attempting to finish it today but the pucker factor is intense! #woodworking #woodturning #greenturning #manitobamaple #boxelder #bowl #vicmarc #vl300 #yycwoodworking #yycwoodworker (at Northwest Calgary, Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqgPuxJAh5m/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xuev712przlo
