Woodturning it’s not -power carving a walnut dough bowl it is!

- Wood turning! (or is it woodturning?) No but wood carving a walnut dough bowl for the first time! Woodworking is a passion for me whether wood-turning or wood carving! My recent retiree friend, we'll call her TB, answered the question “what bowl can I make you for your retirement” with “how about a dough bowl!” Dough bowl I thought...what the heck is a dough bowl! So after a quick internet image search, I figured out that I wouldn't be turning this bowl but carving it! Fun times in the shop trying a new technique! Another quick trip to the internet and a set of three angle grinder compatible wood carving disks we're ordered. (only about $22 dollars on Am**on)!
After just a few minutes using the wood carving disk I got a feel for how much material it was removing and although the entire project could be completed with just the carving disk I figured the process would go quicker if I removed a sizable portion of the material with a forstner bit before returning to the disk grinder. Once done with power carving the bowls shape, it was finished with 40 grit sandpaper before final sanding with 60, 80, 120 and 220 grits. The last step was a flood coat of walnut oil followed by touch-up coats in areas the walnut quickly absorbed the oil. I used Mahoney's Walnut utility oil which is advertised as food safe immediately and cures within about 24-48 hours.

Really liked your video. The dough bowl is a work of art. Congrats!
Thank you and happy to hear the kind comment! My friend the great baker is enjoying it! Michael
It's unfortunately not deep enough. Nice job, though.
The chef currently using it finds the bowl just perfect. Thanks for the kind comment
Try the kuzall carbide discs they work way better than those discs
Being my first carving project, I decided to go with the cheapie discs which were three different shapes for about 20 bucks total. The carbide ones I saw were $60 each. Kuzall does look like a great brand should I ever choose a better, longer lasting disc. Thanks for the suggestion.
Beautiful job. Ivy had two big pieces of wood earmarked for dough bowls for two years now. I will work on mine outdoors so I can let the chips fall where they may. Thanks again.
You’re welcome and thanks for watching. Outdoors would be a good idea. I had sawdust flying everywhere.
I am almost 80 and absolutely love making biscuits. My heart says don't make biscuits unless they're for other people. I sneak out to a local biscuit place here in N.C. called Biscuitville so that my dough bowl doesn't get jealous.. I digress. I inherited a dough bowl from my grandmother, so it is quite old. I suspect it was made with hand tools. It does not seem to have had a finish applied but I expect the fat from the dough might have acted a bit like a finish. It is shaped almost like yours except the outside bottom surface .is more convex.
A friend of ours had to remove a mulberry tree from her back yard. As a gift she had a local turner make a green dough bowl. It is beautiful wood. I have read that green turned bowls will change shape a bit as they dry and it did. Thanks for your video. For this type of project have you used a small chainsaw for gross removal.?
Thanks
Super happy you enjoyed the video and it’s even better that you’re using a keepsake item from your grandmother. Have you ever figured out how long ago your grandmother’s bowl was made? I’ve never used a small chainsaw for that type of project. My angle grinder with a wood removal disk does a pretty good job. Take care and I hope you have a great day.
@@SapperWoodworking I tried to find out but no luck. Thanks for bringing back a good memory. She was my favorite of all my relatives.
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice job man hey you know you can use the table saw
I sure do and have before. I love to experiment with different tools and techniques. Have a great day, Michael
You need a turbo planer yesterday
What’s a turbo planer? Have any pictures?
