How long does it take to turn a wood bowl?
How long it takes to turn a wood bowl varies. Depending on the size and complexity of the bowl, a woodworker may need 15 minutes to several hours to get the job done. In addition to turning the wood, a craftsman must prepare and dry the wood and sand and finish the piece. The entire crafting process is lengthy, often taking one or more years.
