WILLIAM FERRON
WOOD
Bill lives outside Milwuakee, Wisconsin. The poor fellow has been afflicted with a lifelong passion for bicycling and all things wood.
Bill recently sent us a nice series of images that illustrate how he makes one of his beautiful bowls. Just scroll down to follow the process. He makes it look so easy!

Completed halves.

and finishing begins even before final assembly.
Final turning and final finishing with three coats of a non-toxic salad bowl finish can be accomplished on the lathe.
