Amazing how you explain these things in a way that I as a German banker can understand and be fascinated in the same moment! Thank you from Markus from Munich
Kent. You may not be the best turner in the world but you are certainly the best teacher. I watch many ‘ how to videos ‘ so can speak with some credibility. You cover all of the bases. You might benefit with on screen graphics. I don’t know how that is done. I see it in use by other youtubers. IE; Your recommended exterior profile projecting thru the foot. I understand it after hearing you describe it several times. It would be a lightbulb moment 💡with a simple graphic.
I'm a quartersawn oak lover. Because of all the non-quartersawn planes in a turned bowl, I've not found it to be so satisfying though. On another matter, Kent, have a 318 year old Pinion Pine log that I got off mountainside in Manitou Springs CO. It been dead (id guess) 50 years. It's from high altitude & low precipitation... so I needed magnification to count the rings. 318+50-2023=1655. Cool wood in so many ways, but the widest point at the base was probably 14" diameter! It's bone dry, but full of a natural pitch/oil that smells like my dad's old turpentine. Anyhow, would you be interested in a piece of it to do a video, I might be able to part with one piece. Chuckw
Beautiful as always. I have a request. I always guide our new club members to your channel, to learn the techniques. I use a 'Clock' as a reference to how to angle the flute in the direction of the cut. 12 o'clock with the flute completely open. Can you incorporate the clock, i.e. 9:30 on the outside and 2:30 on the inside to assist newbees in how to direct the cut angle, in your explanation of how you make the cuts. Would help a lot of new turners. 😊😎
I would actually say that this is a three tone bowl ... agree with you that it's beautiful bowl ... as usual another interesting and informative video ... thoroughly enjoyed it 👍 The colour and grain of the honey locust is stunning ... love it 😁
Great bowl Kent! Thanks for sharing! I had an issue lately with bowls not running true once I turned it around. Thanks for reminding me to true them up again after turning them around.
I subscribed a long time ago and I always like your video's I have found you to be the most informative, I watch other turners for other reasons but I think you are the most professional. 😁
Hello nice video as always .I want to ask how quickly u turn a piece like that,?1000 rounds? Also I ve tried for a bowl but it s a little difficult to remove material when I have to dig it .greetings from Greece .your videos are always helpful
Hello there in Greece! Yes, I'm always turning under 1,000 rpms. Here's much more info on lathe speed. ua-cam.com/video/qkAwPg-fPN8/v-deo.html All the best to you and Happy Turning! Kent
Hi Kent,will this be an edible boiled linseed oil mixed with beeswax? It is only recently I discovered you get an edible ir shall I say,food safe linseed oil
I have a question about sharpening I have a 6inch variable speed grinder can I use this in sharpening my gouges on using the Wolverine sharpening system
Love your work.. I turn the laguna 24/36 no issues thought it would be my forever lathe but now not so sure...how do you like your American beauty? In your opinion is it the best out there? I.e. vicmarc,oneway etc thanks for your input
@@robertnorthrup1914 oh no issues I believe that the 24/36 doesn't have the issues of the 18/36 because it is designed a bit different and heavier duty.i have not had any issues with it. but definitely get the 24/36. And for the price I don't think that anyone compares.. I love it and routinely turn large pieces 23 in in diameter and core. I was just looking at the robust lathe to be my forever lathe. Just wondering if you could justify the price. It looks like it's the best on the market.
@@robertnorthrup1914 I have the 18/36 with the 20" bed extension which gives me the ability to turn a 32" piece. The only thing I wish my Laguna had is a control that I can move to the left or right of my work. Other than that - it rocks!
Really nice bowl, Kent. You always make turning bowls look so easy. Thanks for the video - that wood grain does look fabulous. We just had a 100+ year-old oak come down - looking forward to turning some of that wood - check your email 🙂
The two tone wood is beautiful. Being quarter sawn makes the bowl even better looking.
Thank you, Jean! Happy Turning!
That wood turned really nice - must have been as much of a pleasure to work on as it was to watch. Look at that chetoyyyyyancy!
LOL. Thank you, Bucky. Chatoyance is a fun word. ;)
Love the smell of turning hickory. Beautiful bowl. Nice job. Thanks for sharing
Yes, great point! ;) Happy Turning!
KENT MAKES HAPPY BOWLS.
Thank you, Roger. I like that one! ;)

Gorgeous bowl and great lesson Kent.
Thank you, Jack!
Thankyou! Always excellent instruction.
Thank you, Mark! Happy Turning!

Beautiful!! I have several pieces of a large Ash tree that I am going to try this technique on!! Thanks!!
Wonderful! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Very nice. Thanks!
Wish we had Hickory in our area. However, I've turned quarter sawn ash with similar results to Honey Locust. Great video, thanks.
Sounds great! Yes, you have great species. Enjoy and Happy Turning!
I would actually say that this is a three tone bowl ... agree with you that it's beautiful bowl ... as usual another interesting and informative video ... thoroughly enjoyed it 👍
The colour and grain of the honey locust is stunning ... love it 😁

Martin, while I would not want to eat it, yes, it's food safe. Watch this one

I have a question about sharpening I have a 6inch variable speed grinder can I use this in sharpening my gouges on using the Wolverine sharpening system
I'd recommend going with an eight inch slow speed grinder. You'll have less issues. Happy Turning!
Love your work.. I turn the laguna 24/36 no issues thought it would be my forever lathe but now not so sure...how do you like your American beauty? In your opinion is it the best out there? I.e. vicmarc,oneway etc thanks for your input
What do you not like about your Laguna? I’m considering buying one.

@@tielkgatethat's what is nice about the 24/36 for 500$ extra the upgrades of the 24/36 are worth it.
Please don't get me wrong the 24/36 is definitely worth the money I love it.
Really nice bowl, Kent. You always make turning bowls look so easy. Thanks for the video - that wood grain does look fabulous.

Thank you kindly! Wow, that's a special tree. Enjoy and Happy Turning!
It ended up with three distinct tones. Would that make it a tree tone bowl? BAHAHAhahaha haha ... ha... ahem.
LOL! ;)
