Omg! I learned more in 3 minutes in watching your video for figuring out end grain log turning than some half hour videos with taking/ cutting pieces off etc .... Thank you!!!
Cheers James, that's a lot of wood. Not a all jealous... 🤔. just watch the acidity in the wood, I've a feeling it can rust your lathe bed quickly if you turn it green.
Beautiful bowl in every way....almost a translucent effect on the wall. That lathe looks strong enough to turn a Mack truck! Over the weekend, Kent of "Turnabowl" posted a great video on demoisturizing using a microwave....it looks like you used the same methods re: measuring changes in weight, size, and shape. Best wishes from Kauai and stay healthy.
Thanks for the comments. I've started follow Kent ( as I have seen so much on his website). Already a great resource of videos. The lathe is a decent size!.thanks and take care. John
By the curls coming off while turning and the fact that you microwaved the piece it was a green wood. You kept the pith so why did you not get cracking on both sides where the pith is. If I do end grain my projects always want to crack?
Hard to say; the microwaveing takes a lot of moisture out so it's more stable. So many factors with wood and where you are, though (species, humidity, wood structure etc). Thanks for the comment.
I feel as though the two dark heartwood “eyes” are a distraction to the overall form. They make your eye focus on that area versus enjoy the entire form. Nice job of getting the piece to. a thicknesses that will reduce the chances for cracking at the pith.
It’s a beautiful piece either way but are you sure this is walnut?? I’ve worked with lots of walnut and lots of maple. And this looks much more like maple to me.
Walnut looks much different where I’m from. Not just the sapwood and heartwood but the bark is very rough. This looks like some other type of nut tree… to me it actually looks more like sweet gum
I didnt give this anything for cracking. It can be ok if it's thin and dried in the microwave like this; depends in the moisture content , species of wood etc

As a potter for over 45 years I was always a fan of wooden bowls, 1970 shop class. Appreciate the beauty.

Thank you!!!
Absolutely beautiful! Love the big knot design. ❤❤❤
Thank you. 👌🏻
Beautiful, thank you for the teaching!
@davidfriedman3962 thank you . 👍🏻
We just had two giant walnut trees blow down so I have a lot of walnut on hand. Great job on the piece 👌

Stunningly beautiful.
Great video, John! 👍👍👍
Cheers David. 👍🏻
wow! great project, lotsa learning
Nice view of fingers
Great piece 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Douglas. Appreciated!
wow this is very good john, you make a perfect project
Cheers Ari 👍🏻
Great job John just found your channel subd and 👍.
Cheers. 👊🏻
I like it,nice piece.
Thank you. 👌🏻
You are so amazing....👍
May you be healthy and happy always.....
Thank you 👊🏻
Beautiful
🙏🏻
nice piece and so thin!! WOW if I tried that it probably would fly apart
That has also happened when I've forgotten to stop and check the depth / width
nice work. ty subscribed
Thank you. 👌🏻
Very nicely done!! A piece of art!. Cheers, Paige C.
Thank you Paige. 👍🏻
Incredibile un capolavoro
Thank you 👍🏻
Beatiful, congratulations from São Paulo Brasil
Thank you Alfredo 👍🏻
when starting, do you have a ratio of thickness to width to determine shape and size?

Parabéns ficou chique 👏👏👏👏🙏que Deus abençoe sempre vc.
Thank you
Great looking bowl. What make / model lathe do you have? I like the rotating headstock.
@genechiaramonte1112 thank you. Its an Axminster 508 👍🏻
Big Laaaaaaaaaaaaad!❤️

What bowl gouge is that? Who makes it?
It's an Axminster 1/2 (uk measurements) , but made by Crown. M2 steel nothing special 👍🏻
What does microwaving the bowl do
It dries it quicker to reduce the water content rather than waiting a few weeks or months.
By the curls coming off while turning and the fact that you microwaved the piece it was a green wood. You kept the pith so why did you not get cracking on both sides where the pith is. If I do end grain my projects always want to crack?

Nice job of getting the piece to. a thicknesses that will reduce the chances for cracking at the pith.
Cheers Robert. I agree the heartwood helps distract from the unusual form. Thanks for your comments 👍🏻
Fairly new to turning...may I ask what kind of spur(?) was in the tail stock? Thanks!
Hi Ken. the brand is Axminister it came with my lathe, i think it's a cone/spur drive that you can remove the cone on to use as a ring center.
It’s a beautiful piece either way but are you sure this is walnut?? I’ve worked with lots of walnut and lots of maple. And this looks much more like maple to me.
Cheers Luke, that 's what my tree surgeon friend told me who had to cut it down! Thanks for the comment.
Walnut looks much different where I’m from. Not just the sapwood and heartwood but the bark is very rough. This looks like some other type of nut tree… to me it actually looks more like sweet gum
Cu ce le dați să nu crape
I didnt give this anything for cracking. It can be ok if it's thin and dried in the microwave like this; depends in the moisture content , species of wood etc
Question if I may, as I started "nuking" rough bowls myself, are you getting any cracks or warpage? And how long are you microwaving them for? Thanks!
Сколько процентов воды вы испаряет из готового изделия?
Грецкий орех?
@@Дмитрий-х3ш8х yes 👍🏻
Круто
Thanks 👍🏻
Itll pass with a push in the dark
That looks suspiciously a lot like maple not walnut.
Not turned maple before to be honest. I got it from a tree surgeon friend 👍🏻
No, ist walnut...
Walnut branch with thick sap wood.

no talk i walk
hi
PLease , never wear gloves during wood turning, drilling or other working on rotating machines
