Turning The Most Stunning Walnut Bowl - Twice Turned Double Feature - Copper Owl Woodturning
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- In this video, I turn a very wet piece of Eastern Black Walnut into a stunning bowl the most stable way I know. Twice turning. First the bowl is roughed out and packed in the shavings in a cardboard box to dry and distort. After a few months the roughed-out bowl is unpacked from the cardboard box and mounted back on the lathe for the second tuning. This method along with the wood being quarter sawn should produce a bowl that is true and stable with minimal distortion. This method also gives a great excuse for the video to be a double feature. I hope you enjoy the video(s) as much as I enjoyed making it.
Have a nice day.
Rob, Copper Owl Woodturning

I like the dark color of walnut bowls. thanks for sharing.
@@SeeTheWoodTurn-cf8rv you are welcome. Thanks for watching. 😊😊
Beautiful bowl, Rob! Love the curl in the grain.
Thank you, Billy. 😊 I am glad you could see the curl.
Absolutely Stunningly Gorgeous Rob. Excellent video. Thank you so kindly for sharing your wonderful talent and videos with us all. Take great care and keep creating and smiling
Thank you so much, Dale. I am so glad that you like the videos. They make me happy. 😊😊
Nice one Rob. Really nice looking wood.
I had to chuckle as I just finished a twice turned Black Walnut bowl. I will not be showing it for 2 weeks or so. There will be a surprise at the end.
Gary
Thank you, Gary. 😊 I am so lucky to have this wood. I figured I owed it to atleast myself to twice turn at least one bowl. I am really looking forward to how you do it and of course the surprise. Take care. Best, Rob.
Thanks Rob. I do very few twice turned bowls but you will see why I did this time. I had a number of reasons LOL
Beautiful wooden bowl,Rob 😍😍💜💜
Thank you Sudha. I am glad you think so. 😊😊
Nicely done. I love watching you sign the bottom. So much confidence . Looks amazing .Thanks for sharing .
@@duaneheadworth6275 thank you so much. I really appreciate that. Take care. 😊😊
Copper well that walnut sure looks pretty buddy well done.
Thank you Alan. 😊i appreciate that. Take care. 😊
Very nice bowl. Awesome video.
@@jonnyslathecrafts thank you. 😊 😊
Great video, great result. I love your dust collection hood. Collapsible, nice. I need to get mine fixed and incorporate this idea. I had that exact Laguna lathe. Needed more capacity and power, and upgraded but I turned a bunch of small to medium size pieces on that bad boy. Had some forward/reverse switch issues, secondary reason for new lathe. At least I could justify the upgrade cost to my wife! Lol. You have any issues? Just a thought, if you have a larger diameter chuck you could eliminate the rechuck, on the dry turning, if you are ok with an attractive foot. In my opinion I like a foot on my bowls, plus it saves me time. My preference only. To make the foot so you don’t need to worry about it needing extra sanding, etc just make the foot/tenon the exact diameter of your large jaws when it is perfectly circular, usually like one turn back from completely closed, where the jaws are separated by approximately 1/8” or slightly less. I call it the “no mar” diameter. Of course I forgot to mention that I would have turned a quick interior mortised shoulder to mount the bowl on first, on the large chuck, versus using the jam chuck and tail stock. Easily done using the tenon from your rough turned bowl. I have an aversion to turning bowls around the third time when I can finish beautifully without having to. Again, just me and my eccentric quirks. Hope this makes sense. Take care and I will watch more videos of yours again. Keep on the lookout for some of my videos. I have a little bit of content that I think would be UA-cam worthy, but I’m old and I just need to figure out how to get it done. My stuff is made under the moniker “Old Fart Wood Art”. Take care, Scott
Thank you Scott.😊 Also thank you for all of the information. Sometimes I do like you mentioned and leave the foot on too. I appreciate your passion for wood turning. 😊 I do like my lathe bit definitely looking to upgrade to a bigger more robust lathe. I had to replace the banjo it cracked and wouldn’t right down on the tool rest I also replaced the motor it started making a clicking sound after a bad catch that stalled the motor for too long before I could shut it off. The banjo was covered under warranty, but the motor was $300. I do remember when I first got the lathe it got stuck in reverse. I turned it off for a bit and it fixed itself. No problem with that since.
The pile is getting smaller. 😎
@@emgiwoodworks yes it is Leo. 😊 luckily I am surrounded by black walnut trees. Thank you squirrels. Thanks for watching, Leo. 😊
👋👋
@@coskunturkoglu9740 hello. Thank you. 😊😊
Gosh absolutely gorgeous bowl Rob of the 3 owls! 😃
Hi Val. Thank you so much. 😊😊 Glad that you noticed the three owls. This is a gift for my wife and the owls represent our family. 🥰
@copperowlwoodturning5929 awwww nice Rob!!! ♥️
Great work. When did you change to 3 owls on the branch? Beautiful bowl.
@@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound thank you, Doug. 😊 great catch noticing the 3 owls, instead of one. This is the one and only bowl with three owls on the bottom. It is for my wife. 🥰
One of the first thing taught to novice wood turners not to wear jewelry such as you do could be dangerous.
@@stevenwoods8925 thanks.
Why the comically large amount of tape on that cardboard box lol nice piece!
@@Gee-bx3zh taping is fun. lol. I thought it would help slow the drying down by sealing the box. Probably did not make a difference. Thank you. I appreciate the comment. 😊😊
What’s that noise- bad bearing?
Hi Neil. I think the noise comes from the live center bearing when using a jam chuck. I probably over tightened it too. I try another live center next time and see if that is it. Is that when you noticed the noise? When I remounted between centers using the jamb chuck?
Hi Rob great video love working with walnut
Thank you Tim. 😊 walnut is awesome to work with and it is beautiful too. Take care. 😊😊
When rough turning, why did you transition to a scraper? Thx. There's something peaceful looking about the quartersawn walnut -- all those straight-ish lines.
Hi David. Thank you for watching and commenting. This is actually my first twice turn bowl, but also I often practice cuts, scrapes and sheer scrapes as I am turning before I get to the end. 1 it is so satisfying and 2 it gives me a good idea how the wood is going react and what it may take to get a perfect finish cut on it. In short, I like woodturning. 😊😊😉
@copperowlwoodturning5929 I definitely like the immediate gratification of a turned object. Good wood choice
She's a Babe!
Thank you, Scott. 😊😊
I live in other country. There is walnut is different. Ill buy some pieces of walnut from you. If it possible)Because what is offered by the Еtsy and Еbay stores does not quite suit me (size and prices). Anyway, thanks
@@dmytrii297 sorry I do not sell wood. Should be plenty available online. Good luck. 👍
Bro you neeeeed a diffrent intro than that
@Bjork-holt thank you for the comment. I definitely appreciate the feedback. 😊
@@copperowlwoodturning5929 Im sorry if i sounded rude, but i just belive that your video quality is very good, and therefore the intro did not add up to the rest of the video, witch might turn away new watchers.
Thanks for the follow up. No i did not think you were being rude. I know what you mean about the intro and I have been trying to clean it up, but need to do more work. Thanks for watching. 😊😊
Lovely bowl, you need to work on your presentation of the bowl gouge to the wood. tool rest height and angle of the flute as you make your entry are incredibly important and that's why you keep skating across the face of the piece.
Tomislav just did a good video on this but a lot of the big turner's have recently talked about this to a degree in a video.
Will keep watching great stuff 😊👍
Thank you so much. 😊 I definitely need practice entering an out of round bowl. I had at least 3 skate backs. 😊 yes I will rewatch Tomislav’s video. Thanks again.
@@copperowlwoodturning5929 don't get me wrong I have it happen too, the process was good fun to watch.
