Woodturning Hot Pepper Wood Bowl

I found some pepper tree logs on the side of the road on the way to work. They had been sitting for some time and were quite dry. After looking at the unique wood I decided to try a fire theme resin pour to go with the pepper wood. I wanted to try something new that I read in a book about hybrid woodturning. I used urethane resin instead of epoxy. Supposedly it would turn easier and polish better. The downside is it has a 12 minute working time and the wood must be stabilized first ( I left that part out of video, rather tedious). Upside is the blank is cured and ready to turn in 4 hours which is amazing. The book suggested to turn the piece with carbide scrapers. I found this odd and did not care for this technique and went for my bowl gouge when hollowing the bowl. I tried to use mainly scrapers on this piece and in the end I’m happy with the result. Had a bit of frustration in the middle and wasn’t liking the look. Too much resin not enough wood. Although I was very pleased with the shape, the entire rim of bowl being resin wasn’t a good look in my opinion. So I decided to turn it into a very shallow bowl to get the look I was after. In the end, I’m not sure the urethane resin is all that great. The time saved in the cure process is negated by the multiple day process of stabilizing the wood. I didn’t find it turned, sanded, or polished differently than epoxy resin. Think I will likely be using both in the future depending on the wood being used. If you have experience with both types of resin and have some tips or suggestions please leave them in the comments. I’d love to hear them. Thank you for watching!!!
