    Beautiful piece; a work of art. I had the good fortune to have some Maple like that and you just can't beat the grain. You are a true artisan, thanks for sharing.
    Glad I found your channel. I'm a fan.

    I never watch this kind of content and am not a wood turner myself, so, I hope this video coming up in my recommended means it’s getting pushed by the algo, bc finding it was fantastic! Watching this was so satisfying, and the finished piece is absolutely gorgeous. Easy, eaaaasy new sub.

    Hi Andrew! Not only is this bowl huge, but the wood is spectacular!!! Is it possible for you to talk more during your turning though? Please

    • @andrewmccarn
      @andrewmccarn  Рік тому +1

      Thank you Lori! As of now, my plan is to post videos that vary on the amount of talking. Some will have none, some will have some moments like this & then there will be ones like todays post where it is mostly talking. So it will just depend on what the video is about but also if there is anything specific in a video that doesn't have much talking but something you would like to know, dont hesitate to ask!

    Wow! Fresh cut maple is kinda boring, it's amazing how much character it picks up just sitting out in the weather for awhile. Plus all the burls and knots, great project. How are you liking the Laguna lathe, any issues or problems that you've had to deal with? I'm thinking of upgrading myself.

    • @andrewmccarn
      @andrewmccarn  Рік тому +1

      I agree & maple has to be one of my more favorite woods to work with. You really never know what it will look like until you cut into it. So far I love the laguna & highly recommend it! My only thing is if you can upgrade to the 220 version then that is what I would do but so far the 110 has handled everything I have thrown at it with ease.

    • @andrewmccarn
      @andrewmccarn  Рік тому

      Thank you! I do a mixture of both. The majority of them can be used but some are more decorative. I mostly finish my pieces with tung oil or danish oil, it just depends how I am feeling that day lol

    What brand and size bowl gouge do you use?
    Do you have any problems not using the tailstock for support on the inside?

    • @andrewmccarn
      @andrewmccarn  Рік тому +1

      Thank ya! I use the Carter & Sons 5/8s bowl gouge with a Trent Bosch handle & not really. I rarely use the tailstock unless I absolutely have too like if a piece is too unstable or sticks out over the bed too much but usually I dont.

    How long are you drying the green turned bowls out before finishing? Ima bout to get an 18/36 and bed extension. Thought hard about the 24/36 but dang $$$

    • @andrewmccarn
      @andrewmccarn  Рік тому

      I typically try to let them sit for atleast 4 weeks but they usually sit longer as I get busy doing other things lol I highly recommend the extension. I have loved using it. If you can get the 24/36 then Id say go for it! Wouldve been my choice but I only have 110v in my shop lol
