Woodturning - Pine Bowl 4 months on
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- This is a remake of an early project. I thought that I would see how my skills and techniques have progressed over the last 4 months.
Pine is a tricky wood to turn, as it is so soft. I am very happy with the bowl. The finish is certainly better than my earlier one, and the mortise for the chuck is a much better fit, although it still came loose twice, as pine is so soft!
Thank you for watching.

*If you shop through these links, I may receive a small commission. The price is the same for you, but it helps support me as a beginner woodturner in my quest to get a better lathe to make even bigger projects, and I really appreciate it!
Looks good, the best thing about a soft open grain wood like pine, it demands development of a delicate touch, and an appreciation of sanding skills. Blessings
Yup, pine really stretches sanding skills! Cheers
Nice work buddy. Next time, try dribbling some superglue in to the mortice walls and give it a minute or two. It often stiffens the fibres and gives a much stronger hold
Ah that sounds like a great idea! Thanks 👍
Considering softwood being so difficult, this is good work.
Big thank you 👍
very bowl of pine ... I am in love with these wood veins, they are unique, I really like turning pine and also the native eucalyptus I very similar ...., 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you. Pine is not my first choice, but it can give great rewards! 👍
Beautiful bowl....worth the hard work! Love the videos.
Thank you very much.
nice job, I've turned Pine once, hated it lol.. so well done for sticking with it..
Thank you. This bowl was worth the effort.
Brilliant i like the result of what you did looks really good thanks
Thank you
Great bowl mate. you have come a long way, in your turning, and it shows.
Keep on turning.
Cheers, Bluey 👍
Thank you very much!
For the pine very well done, dude!
Thank you very much. 😃
Sanding sealer! I love sanding sealer!
Yup sanding sealer is an absolute must!
Good on you mate, I am on a similar path. Found my grandfather's old gouges and bought a lathe on a whim at the supermarket!??! So a risk taking ill equipped beginner at best. I really don't get anyone's thumb's down decision - bugger them and keep at it, you have already taught me all I know.
Thank you Kent! I hope that you are enjoying turning too!! 😀
when turning soft wood like cedar or even ambrosia maple I use Minwax wood hardener in my mortice and it holds very well. You can pickup a can at Home depot pretty cheap. Your turning looks good nice work.
Thanks for the tip!
Great looking bowl 👍
Cheers!
Due to easy tear out I had to make my pine bowl mostly with scrapers. And a lot of sand paper. Redwood was just as bad. Very nice
Sandpaper is an absolute must, especially with softwood. Cheers 😀
Thanks for sharing. I should work on these, I have boards all around. Full View and Like
Thank you! Cheers! 😎
Another very nice pine project!! Any tips you would care to share with us?
Tips! Gently, gently, gently when cutting. Sharp tools. Most importantly, where possible, make supported grain cuts!👍😀
PINE! I use Pine on most of my projects and find the end grain the first downfall of it. The next is the mortise chuck. . Hmmm what can't I say about that? I've learnt not to use it on Pine. Love your perseverance. 👍👍👍 Great end result. Rob
Thank you. A good sanding sealer makes all the difference. Pine has certainly taught me a thing or two! Stay safe 😀
Nice budget friendly project. Maybe put a colored spacer in the middle?
Thank you. I’m going to try this again in a couple of months 👍
Big like!👍👍👍👍👍✅💪Felicitări! Great video 👍👍👍😎
Thank you very much for watching! 😎
You really want to use tenons instead of mortises, but especially with any kind of wood that is at all sketchy in some way.
I am generally not a fan on tenons on bowls. However, I totally agree with using them on soft or sketchy wood. Thank you very much for watching 👍
What glue would you used mostly for pine?
I’ve used Gorilla glue for the past 6 months. It’s very reliable 👍
i always find when i turn pine i have to sharp often because sap build up. and that tear out is awful....but nothing some 20 grit sandpaper can handle. good looking bowl though
Thank you. Yeah pine is very unforgiving, but good to learn on.
Why do you use sanding sealer "after" you sand. Isn't it suposed to help with sanding? Nice work BTW
Sealer is for after sanding, before applying the finish. Think of it like undercoating before painting. Thanks for watching 👍
@@RDMWoodturning this is literally right fome thier web page :
Typical uses
To seal open pores of timber prior to application of lacquers, waxes or polishes. Once dry lightly sand for a smooth surface.
@@MikeTwoPoint0 My general process is to sand through the grits from 120 to 400, then I apply sealer, then very lightly sand at a high grit such as 1200, finally I apply a finish such as wax.
I hope this helps.
Honestly, with a bit of trial and error, you tend to find a process that works best for different types of wood or applications. Thanks for the input. Cheers
