I have been looking forward to this challenge all year, because it is an opportunity to share some of my methods and tips that I use to turn, dry, and re-turn bowls from green wood. Most of all I want to show two things: First, the "pivot" cut that I use to round blanks roughed out with a chainsaw, allowing one to bypass the bandsaw (either by preference or because some turners may not have a bandsaw.) Second is my use of alcohol soaking to dry bowl blanks in about one eighth of the normal time. As well, I show an additional re-mounting method that you can add to your repertoire.
Cover tool: "Green bowl gouge" (Actually a 40/40 grind but with the left wing swept back, and an extra long maple handle.)
Woods: Ash; Callery Pear
