Making a really special bowl....my bowl-gauge didn't like it very much. But interestingly the bandsaw blade didn't get any duller than before.
Hi mate. A good effort. It would be a shame if you would not try to use that nice old piece of wood again. I would suggest trying to use tool steel used for metal turning or carbide inserted tools. If the wood would dull those, I would be even more impressed and want my next car made out of the stuff.
Marcel Timmers Totally agree with using tools with carbide inserts for wood this dense. It might not avoid the tenon fail but it would dramatically reduce the amount of sharpening events. The grain of that looked amazing.
Ironwood. It could be Ironbark, which is an Australian hardwood. It's so dense, you can't even hammer nails into it.
Jåsøn ß Yes thats possible
I appreciate you doing your videos in English, I'm sure this opens you up to an entirely larger audience. Nice work. Make more videos!
that wood would make good band saw blade guides
Thank you very much Marius! I enjoy all your videos, I love what are you doing and I learned a lot from you, very good luck!!!
if you still have that piece of wood, you could make a mortar and pestle out of it, the bowl already looks like a mortar
Brilliant. Great perseverance and a lovely little bowl.
Brave man for turning this hard of a wood. I made a baseball bat with ekki / azobe wood, very hard on your chisels indeed. So I decided to cheat a little, and found that an industrial angle grinder with a circular sawblade works like a charm on the tool rest. Just a matter of gliding the angle grinder blade cover slowly over the toolrest, and watch it hog off wood LOL

That looks like Ekki to me. I used a piece of it to make a handle. It dulled the hell out of my tools too. Great job for sticking with it.
Awesome video. I admire your patience!
Thanks! Really appreciated.
Happy man you holding small pic of australia in hand, it is IRONBARK or locals call him also Red Gum Tree timber we work with red gum til is freshly cut. When is dry no way that is possible to hammer nail in. Good Luck with rest of wood. All the best from Australia.
made a bed out of that stuff. Would probably survive an earthquake
Uninsulated Shrimp then You should build your house out of ironbark
i watched all your videos on your channel. you are very talented and intelligent. hello from india !
Great video, the video was well shot and entertaining start to finish. I agree with Pubboo... ekki wood.
Thanks! Look at the title now.
Marius Hornberger wir haben genau die gleiche Waage 🙈
Mate, Good Effort! I loved the sharpening counter! From the grain I'd say it was definitely Ekki/Azobe, I have some myself looking forward to giving it a go!
Your tools probably won't be happy about that, but it really looks nice in the end.
Yes. It looks like Grey Ironbark or Grey Gum from Australia (I'm Australian). Both are extremely dense and hard to cut. But they make excellent fire wood!!
Hi Marius, that wood looks like "lapacho", thats an extremely hard and dense wood thats used a lot here in Uruguay. It dulls your tools so quicky because it has sillisium, which is very hard but makes for a very hard and beautiful wood. Cheers
Amazingly hard stuff! It's like the Osage that I turn. Eats tools. I'll bet that would make some great knife handles and pen turning blanks! Nice bowl. BTW I like thick bowls. The have a different character.
that is some super hard wood looks good
Thanks
Beautiful job. If you don’t want to make any more bowls out of the stuff - and I don’t blame you given how brittle it is, how about having a go at making a wooden plane and using either a thin layer as the sole, or inlaying parallel strips into the sole. Smoothed and polished up it would be VERY hard wearing. I made a block plane like that with a sole from mopane (irrc) and this polished up on a buffing wheel to a finish like glass. Sadly it was lost in a move, although I still have the stock material to make a new one some time.
Bandsaw blade guides would also be a good use. Do you have a carbide tipped turning tool? That may do the job without so much sharpening.
Loving all you do, keep it coming.
Rite Marius Dude, I have a load of Ekki, I acquired from a ferry company I used to work for (Liverpool/Isle of Mann). I have made a few things with it so feel your pain 😂TFS, GB :)
aus wikipedia
Unter der Bezeichnung „Eisenholz“ sind viele Baumarten vor allem der Tropen bekannt, deren Holz wegen seiner besonderen Härte geschätzt wird und eine hohe Dichte aufweist. Diese wird traditionell als Verhältnis zur Dichte von Wasser (etwa 1 g/cm³) angegeben. Dichteres Holz geht unter und gilt daher als Besonderheit.
Die Bearbeitung des sehr harten Holzes erfordert in der Regel hartmetallbestückte Werkzeuge oder setzt die üblichen Stähle extremem Verschleiß aus. aber trotzdem isses schön geworden, das schälchen.

ich hab mir inzwischen einige deiner clips angesehen und finde alle ohne ausnahme hervorragend, nicht nur wegen deiner arbeiten sondern auch wegen deiner hervorragenden englischkenntnisse.
zu dem gebläse-motor der offenbar mit drehstrom betrieben wird, wenn man dem stecker glauben darf: es gibt einen stern-dreieck schalter, der erst nach dem hochlaufen des motors in die dreieckschaltung (Stufe 2) geschaltet wird und der so das abrupte hochlaufen des motors verhindert.
I don't think its jarrah, but jarrah (native timber for me) does have similar 'workability' - medium density (on the overall janka scale) but high silica count dulls tools within several passes. MrTipoli has a good guess
Found your videos recently and I'm thoroughly enjoying each one. Keep up the great work....by the way, are there no diamond tip cutters you could have used on this bowl? Blessings to you!
Nice it's more looking like iron bark because it looks like the rail road log thingies and there usually iron bark
I'm no expert, but you might try some carbide insert tools. They would last a lot longer on this piece and very much longer 'regular' wood. Just a suggestion.
+John Winslow Problem is, that they era expensive.
While that wood is absolutely beautiful, it definitely was a bear to work with.
But the harder something is to work with, often times that is the one that seems to have higher rewards.
Nice job on that bowl.
Michael Ciha Thanks Michael!
I think your friend played a trick on you.
However, I'd give you 10 thumbs up for the massive effort,you really looked exhausted at the end but the bowl is beautiful.
I'd make some nice boxes out of that piece of wood,in that case you'll have to use just table saw, band saw and planer.
I love the look of that wood. Too bad it's so hard to work with.
my dad got a shit ton of this stuff from a casino he was working on, they were just throwing it away so he grabbed it. i dislike working with it because it is extremely brittle more like aluminum than woodm the only plus is that the sawdust smells sweet and the grain color and patterns are beautiful
BRITTLE, sorry steven, if this is the same timber that I have its like concrete to turn tool steel hardly touches it and carbide tools just grab at it, its not nice to turn
for any fellow americans who are curious, 4.2 kg is about 9.25 lbs
Thanks for the video I think maybe your wood is " Goncalo Alves" it is very much like teak and makes tools dull very quick. Having watched your video a few times I have to agree with "Ekki" but the french name we use is "Azobe" Regards David. DK.
Cut up the rest and sell as bandsaw guide blocks
It ekki wood due to the pattern and grain structure
Ekki is hard going stuff
Hello from Kentucky USA. Just found your channel and subscribed. I'm a retired coal miner with an old old lathe. It,s like me LOLO. I've learned a lot while watching you work, you are a talented young man. How did you get into woodworking? It looks like you have been doing it a while. I've got lots of questions but don't want to overload your brain, might ruin my welcome.
Have a blessed day

+Mark Burgess Thanks man. I wanted to make a video dedicated to this question in the near future.
I guessed the right amount of times you sharpened your bowl gouge
Very good video, I'm surprised after losing the edge on the gouge a few times, you didn't change to a small carbide hollowing tool, I think that would have shortened your sharpening trips somewhat. Nevertheless, a fine finish. well done.
I don't have carbide tools
Ulin ironwood (Eusideroxylon zwageri)borneo wood
no its ekki
Makes some mallets with it.
Hey Mate! Beautiful woodworking, I myself am a woodworker and I am 15 years of age. Why did you hold wood chips against the bowl at the end? Is that a polish?
+Vince Cianfichi yes, it works great for polishing. But I don't use a rag anymore, just a bunch of chips in my hand.
Drechseln macht mega Fun
You can use that wood for your bandsaw guides. hehe
+lewandlo Well I already did this: ua-cam.com/video/tPCLoR4ptJg/v-deo.html
I would not pretend to know what kind of wood it is... it seems that it may have been on its way to being petrified. :-)
How many different chisels do you have for the lathe?
+Hi I'm Nick Never counted them, but all the ones I need.
carbide easytools should help.
What would be the price for this bowl i wonder :-)
könnte man das werkzeug vielleicht mit nem gasbrenner und nem sturz ins kalte wasser härten?
eher nicht. Das ist ja schon ziemlich guter HSS Stahl. Wenn man das mit dem Härten nicht absolut richtig macht, ruiniert man sich das Werkzeug. Entweder wirds zu hart und brüchig oder nicht hart genug und "weich".
Considering that ironwood is illegal in my country. I still don't understand why all of my living room and dining room furniture is made out of it, I'd say my family are criminal masterminds
Also my dad worked with that stuff and he went through 5 metal drill bits and regular wood ones won't even work
Wie viel willst du für so eine Schale (nicht aus diesem extrem hatten Holz.)??
+Takumi Fujiwara Kann ich noch nicht genau sagen, weil ich sie noch nicht verkaufe.
Wie sieht es mit verleimen aus? Möchte eventuell ein Tisch Untergestell aus bongossi machen 🧐
Lässt sich eigentlich wie jedes andere Holz gut verleimen
Marius Hornberger vielen herzlichen Dank für deine Antwort. Ich werde es versuchen

wouldn't that wood make good band saw guide jaws?
+Benny ofAtlanta yes, see this video for that: ua-cam.com/video/tPCLoR4ptJg/v-deo.html
hahhaha go go go :D
I have this wood at home a big piece, it is used as railroad sleepers. It is about 2,5m long and 0,35m wide and 0,25m thick. Love to work with this wood, i have made many bowls from it, one picture of my bowl and bat is on instagram @svenkapp .
Hello Marius, great video. I really like the color of that bowl. I could see how difficult the cutting was, and I was wondering if you have ever used a carbide tip cutter for turning. There is a US company which makes such tools, and one of the tools simply holds a carbide router bit, and is shown being used to turn a bowl, though not of ironwood. I am certain that there are tool manufacturers in Germany which make similar carbide turning holders, but here is the UA-cam share link to the video that I found. ua-cam.com/video/NJCNDJpaQJM/v-deo.html

your tool gets like 5 cm shorter
well mate then pay it forward pass it along to someone else who likes a challenge ...lol
