you don’t have to worry about pith in a branch to do small bowls?
Good tips, but, if you bore out the pith, then rough turn the bowl. Once you have a shape defined, stick the bowl in a paper grocery bag with the wood shavings for a couple of months, then re-drill the hole in the pith, plug it with similar wood and finish the turning. Sometimes, the bowl will crack beyond use, but sometimes you get a neat effect with the graduated concentric rings in the bowl. It’s a bit tricky, but doable.
@ 1:33 “Tulip wood”, nice one. Next up is rose wood followed by daffodil wood. Last but not least is pansy wood.
Don’t panic though, you can buy your ball blanks @ 1:22

expert village sucks
Oh wow, I didn’t know alot that was said here, useful, what else do you have?
Pith – also called medulla – is a substance that is found in vascular plants. The two main functions of pith are nutrient storage and the transport of nutrients through the stem, branches, leaves, and roots of the plant.. Pith is made up of soft, spongy parenchyma cells, and is located in the center of the stem in eudicots (both herbaceous and woody) and in the center of the roots in monocots. It is encircled by a ring of xylem (woody tissue). For those who need to know. Very credible vid.
lool yeah!!!!!!
nice
you tube sucks it’s always stopping and going and that makes watching the video a real chore.

“Pith is where the tree gets it’s nutrients” ??? No it’s not..see fist chapter of any book on trees

Sorry but the pith is not where the tree get the nutrients.. it’s where the tree started. The sapwood is where the tree gets its nutrients…
I could turn my house on that lathe! Lucky You
