Description

Wood: Most Propabaly Kapok Finish: Danish Oil Hurricanes frighten me. I've lived in Florida all my life so you'd think I'd be used to hurricane season, but the fact is I'd rather deal with palmetto bugs than hurricanes. HOWEVER, hurricanes are good to me in terms of wood for turning. After Hurricane Irma I roamed the streets salvaging usable wood. A tree company pointed me in the direction of this wood. The arborist said it was Kapok and the ashy orange color seems to confirm that conclusion. If I sound unsure, it's because of the way in which I located the wood. My driving directions went something like this, "when you get off the highway go 2 blocks and turn left at the blue house. You'll see a leaning willow tree and several piles of oak logs. Across the street are big logs with leafy branches piled on top. That's the Kapok." I turned this bowl end grain because the logs were cut in small sections. As it turns out that was the best way to go. The inside of the bowl shows interesting grain and aging features. It seems the tree was nearing the end of its life cycle before the hurricane came along. This is a heavy duty, useful bowl. It could easily be a pocket dump bowl or display a collection of treasures. It's unusual color easily makes it the feature piece in home decor display.

Joe Joe Beans Design

Welcome to Joe Joe Beans Design! I'm Joe and I founded this small, family run company in 2018. All of our products are sustainable, handmade and one of a kind. There are so many unwanted trees and assorted wood things that go unused, or even worse, abandoned to a landfill. Those are the things I salvage, process and turn on the lathe so they become something new and useful. Nothing here started out as lumber from the wood store. Like I said, I'm Joe. But to be clear Joe is really a Jo. So why Jo with an 'e'? That's the way Dad spells it. With an 'e'. Dad taught me to use power tools & make wooden things. Hence, the 'e' is all about my Dad. The man behind the scenes, kind of like the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain, ismy husband. Whenever the lumber is too heavy or the obstacle too great, somehow he makes it happen. He calls himself 'Labor' but he's really the lynch pin. And if you're wondering what's with the 'Beans,' it's my daughter. She anchors me and her name for me is Joe Joe Beans. By the grace of God here I am, the girl Joe, hanging out in the workshop making stuff.
