I needed a break from gluing up segmented pieces so I threw a Teak blank up on the lathe to see if I could cut a really thin bowl; for those of you that
haven't turned Teak it's a bit different than other woods, Better be able to sharpen your tool very well.
This was out of the same board I cut the Fiesta Bowl from. there's a check in the wood I hit that w/ thin CA Glue before starting.

Interesting grain in that bowl, and nicely turned. I don't think i have ever seen teak turned, usually see it in garden furniture.

Happy turning.

I would have said the same thing as Alan about Teak.

Is this the only piece you have? How thin did you eventually go?

The bowl I just turned is about 1/4" thick.
