Natural and Shaped Edges
Some of the most attractive, unique and eye-catching pieces
in our collection are from our natural- and shaped- edge stock.
All these pieces retain their natural outer bark or original wood edge throughout the turning
process, resulting in a wonderful juxtaposition of smooth wood and rough bark or irregular
textures. The colors of the bark and inner wood are natural complements to each other. These are
the most challenging pieces to turn,
requiring the sharpest tools and greatest patience to produce.
A recent addition to the collection is double-natural-edge bowls, where the original
wood edge is retained on both the top and bottom! The editor of "Woodturning Design" magazine
says that he has never seen this style before; evidently it is unique to The Well Turned Bowl.
