Thanks for all your great advice and videos!
My pleasure! Thank you JIM!!! I appreciated your support and your "Super Thanks!" All the best to you and Happy Turning!
This was one of the best wood turning videos I have seen. Extremely clear and informative on all of the details during the entire project. 👌 Looking forward to watching more of your presentations.
Thank you.
Thank you, Bill! Much appreciated. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Parabéns muito bonito trabalho nota dez excelente 👏👏👍🙏
Muito obrigado!!! Tudo de bom para você e feliz giro!
Hi. Setting up my new work shop for turning studs are up electrical done keep watching your videos getting supper excited to start 🔨🔨 thinking of getting one way 16/40 lath I have general lath now just purchased Rikon grinder and accessories for sharpening Following your tips on learning to have sharp tools first Love your videos thanks Looking for advice on new bowl gouges
Sounds super exciting! Have fun and Happy Turning!
You know I've been turning for a while along the years off & on as my health permit and I seem to keep reviewing your channel throughout my challenges. It feeds in some extent my crazy need for turning. I get request and luckily they don't mind the lull. I appreciate your work as a teacher ( extremely well explained ) and your demonstrations are soo clear and encouraging for anyone to start woodturning. You have the voice, personality lest not forget the the beautiful peaces of art you finish with all that are conducive to learning without stress. I am thanking you for the constant & wonderful influence on my life.
Wow! Thank you for writing and sharing! I'm honored that you enjoy watching these videos. Thanks again and I how you feel better soon and are back to turning. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
@@TurnAWoodBowl its starting to look good now it has some shape!
Man, I appreciate the way you explain and teach. So much knowledge transported with passion! Two thumbs up!!!
I appreciate that! Thank you and Happy Turning!
The camera angle during the interior hollowing portion of this video is priceless. It really shows what the gouge is doing, just as your narration explains the move in detail. I'm sure you hear this quite often, but you are an excellent craftsman AND instructor. I am not a novice turner, and first started turning over 15 years ago. (I did take a long 10+ year break from turning and have just started turning again.) I just want to say that I have learned more from you, than I had in the first few years of turning. Keep up the good work!
Thomas Thank you so much for your kind words of support! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Just found you yesterday, but have already learned stuff from the first few i've watched. Thank you!
Fantastic! Well, there are many more videos for you to enjoy. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
.
Polymerization of linseed oil involves heating to 572 degrees F for an extended period of time, so yes boiled linseed oil is polymerized to change the chemical structure (hydrolysis) of the oil to increase viscosity (saturating) and reduce drying time. Its similar to hydrogenating fats to make them thicker and smoother (saturated fats are bad for you). Tung oil is treated in a similar manner as is shellac. Love turning crotch wood winged bowls. Thanks for the video.
A little more info: Most boiled linseed oils contain cobalt and manganese salts to aid drying. Tried and true does not.
Beautiful! Thank you for so clearly explaining these details. Happy Turning!
Hi im from the UK and New to finishes so probably wrong but was under the impression that Danish oil was a mix of oil and varnish, Is this not the case?
Beautiful! Also, I really appreciate your detailed comments, it really helps, as I’m a novice. Btw, I made my first bowl with the 1/2” bowl gouge that you recommended and I finished with the tried and true linseed and beeswax. It was like night and day as far as ease of use. Appreciate all the help!!! 🤗👍🖖✌️❤️
Wonderful! Thank you. Happy Turning!
Çok güzel bir video olmuş..Harikasın dostum,başarılar dilerim..Severek izliyorum..👏👏👏👍🤗
Nazik sözleriniz için çok teşekkür ederim! Sizinle paylaşabildiğim ve umarım dönüşlerinizde size yardımcı olabildiğim için çok mutluyum! Size en iyi dileklerimle ve mutlu dönüşler!
KEN
WHATS THE BEST BAND SAW BLADE FOR CUTTING OUT BOWL BLANKS. I HAVE A 10 UNCH BAND SAW, SO WHAT DO THINK IA BEST BRADE AND WHAT TPI DO YOU RECOMMEND . THANKS
Well it depends on the size of bowl you're like to do. All the bowls you see me doing here are cut out on a Grizzly 17" bandsaw. Here's a link amzn.to/3bFjS6y I highly recommend getting one with a foot brake. You will have your hands full with larger blanks and being able to bring the blade to a safe and full stop quickly is great with that foot pedal. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Love crotch bowls my favourite to turn
I agree Gregg. Happy Turning!
Great lesson, Kent!! I have lots of crotch wood pieces like what you turned. However, I never considered halving the pieces like you did since I felt there wasn’t enough wood to turn. Now I have a different perspective and will need to try what you showed us. Thanks for sharing!
Agreed!
Fantastic. If there are balanced and somewhat symmetrical, why not. All the best to you. Happy Turning!
I,ve just started last year. A hobby that is consuming my thoughts more and more everyday. Love your videos, they are very educational and provoking. Keep up the excellent work!
It’s addictive
Wonderful Jakub! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Thanks Kent, you always do good work and explain everything very well as you take us along with you for the ride. I've tried out some of the techniques that you've spoken about in your videos, and hope one day I'll be able to be as fluid as you when turning a wood bowl. I can tell you really do enjoy what you do. Thanks for the great content. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much. Yup, I do enjoy turning bowls and sharing information. ;) Happy Turning!
You do good work and this question has little to do with your current video. - - - You (and others) have referred to the dowel cut in (for the 4-Jawed Chuck) as a "tenon". To me (as well as many others), a "Tenon" is a square or rectangular section fashioned onto the end of a board to be received (in most cases) by a mortice. Since any object being turned is (or will be) round, is it not a dowel ? - - - A vase, bowl, lamp, or candle stick is a dowel until it is a finished product. Why do some woodworkers call this a "tenon" ?
Hm? You have me thinking on this one now. LOL Well, if the tenon were viewed from the side, it is clearly a tenon. Because it is cylindrical, I think this is where you're having trouble viewing this as a tenon. If a straight mortise channel was cut in a board to the right size, the bowl's tenon would slide right in. Essentially, the chuck is the receiving mortise. It just also happens to be able to expand and contract. Hope that helps. Happy Turning!
I am late to your channel and just getting back into turning. As others have said, you do an excellent job of talking through your reasoning and technique. Super helpful! One comment about your direction of cut; i could never really get my head around the "cutting downhill" rule of turning but your video on cutting with the grain supported cleared it up for me. You mention several times in this video that you're cutting "unsupported" to preserve the bark, and it think that might be clearer by saying the cut direction is supporting the bark. At least that's the way I interpreted it.
Hello Volks, words are important, especially with the supported grain direction cuts. Check out this article turnawoodbowl.com/supported-cut-wood-grain-bowl-gouge-cut-direction/ All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Kent, why did you choose your robust over say a 3hp powermatic? Price? Is the quality better in robust?
Quality, features, American Made. Happy Turning!
Took your Bowl Turning Start To Finish... With bowl gouge in hand, I’m doing my best to reproduce a similar result here using our local Philippine hardwoods! Wish me luck Professor!
Fantastic! You can do it. Be patient and value the process. Happy Turning!
Many thanks for this! I have been turning for over 25 years and am registered as a professional in France but I still learned a few things from you. I haven't previously been keen on natural edge bowls but I think you have just made me a convert. Again, thank you.
Wonderful! Thank you for your kindness. We all learn and grow from one another. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
How did you become a registered pro?
Dear Kent, I have a wood pile of Desert Ash street trees with plenty of crotch pieces - a metre or more across. I think I need a bigger lathe! My best straight piece is 1800mm long x 1000mm diameter. {6’x3’}. That should give me a long term supply of timber.
… and by the way, the correct pronunciation of polymerised is “pol-im-er-eyes-ed”. Have fun.
Peter, Thank you for writing and sharing! Wow, that sounds like a huge tree. Yes, plenty of turning material. Thanks for the pronunciation tip. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Ken, like the idea of shoulder under tenon, for purposes described, well done. You'r timber just peels off, not so down under in Aussie, our hardwoods are, well, Real Hard. Thanks for your great step by step instructions and descriptions of processes. John, from Albany WA.
John, I'm glad you like the shoulder advantage. Keep those tools sharp and slice away those hard species! ;) Happy Turning! Kent
Hi Kent. I’ve just started turning in the last few weeks and I have found your videos enormously helpful, certainly the best on UA-cam. You explain things very clearly and lucidly. Many thanks
Thank you kindly. Be sure to also see www.TurnAWoodBowl.com All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Thank you for this video and the others. I am just starting out, and having someone explain the basics and why is very helpful.
You are so welcome! Happy Turning!
How can you sand green wood without gumming up your sandpaper? Turning the foot when it's green doesn't result in it warping, requiring you to go back and flatten the bottom? Thank you so much for this really superb video!!
Good question, Robert. The surface dries very quickly and sanding is not much of a problem. Happy Turning!
Any comments on pith in apple wood for this kind of project? I have a crotch about the same size that will make a nice bowl based on other apple bowls I’ve seen.
Most fruit woods have very tight fine grain. Turn it green or as close to green as possible and you'll most likely have good results. Happy Turning!
@@TurnAWoodBowl Thanks for the reply. It’s already half dry, so I’ll have to get to it soon. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos. They include the best explanations of not only how to but also why it works.
love it
Thank you!
Unrelated Question:
Why does no one seem turn in reverse, rotate away, and attack the interior across the center to right interior side of the bowl, doing both pull and push cuts, and then a carbide scrape for the top undercut interior? I find it easier since my headstock doesn’t rotate, especially when hollowing a small bowl with a small access hole above.
I know you’ll have a great answer..;
Robert, good question. That is definitely a way to approach the interior, if you'd like. Just be sure to use a set screw on your faceplate or chuck. If they loosen up with a slight catch, etc, they will quickly unscrew themselves from the lathe. Happy Turning!
Great video Kent, you did everything perfectly. Please be patient with me as I emphasise a point which you did correctly, but which a new comer might miss: - that beautiful crotch grain only exists in the centre of the log, where you drew the line, ie, 25 to 30 mm on either side of that line where you cut it with the bandsaw. The wood closer to the bark has none of that crotch grain. That is why you made the cut face into the outside of the bowl. If the bark side was made into the outside of the bowl you would lose the crotch grain as you hollowed it out.
Kevin,
Thank you for writing and sharing!
Yes! That is absolutely correct and a good point to make. Well said.
All the best to you and Happy Turning!
If it were me...I'd strongly advice NOT to be standing in the line of fire...that seems to be an accident waiting to happen. The forked wood is at two kill zones...the intestines and the heart.
LOL, I agree, no line of fire. I didn't think of the double kill zone. Wow, these trees are vicious! ;) Happy Turning!
Hi, thanks for all the videos and information. Just wondering why it's okay to use a spindle gouge for things like making the dovetail on the tenon etc? Thanks
They can be used in areas where you are only removing light material. The danger is using spindle tools to remove or rough out large volumes of material on a bowl.Happy Turning!
So, how come you didn't just cut a relief in the bottom to expand the chuck in so you didn't have to fart around with that silly jam chuck to cut off the tenon? That relief just becomes your foot. Also why didn't you just sand the back of the bowl when you first cut it instead of after you'd turned it around and go the motor in the way?
Because I like to design the piece as I go. I is difficult to decide what the shape and size of the foot will be before the bowl is finalized. Happy Turning!
I completely agree with your design decisions. Thank you for sharing your thoughts as you work.
Thanks, Jude! I'm glad you like Happy Turning!
How did you made that irregular piece of wood so smoothly? If I do something like this I always get my chisel out of control
Practice, practice, practice. Grow good techniques. All covered here www.TurnAWoodBowl.com/mastery Check it out. Enjoy and Happy Turning!
Hey Kent, hope to see you at the symposium. What kind of elm are you turning? I thought it was crepe myrtle
Hey Tony, sounds good. This is Drake Elm. Happy Turning!
Like your videos.somtime us woodturners need a refresh.like to see a video on the 40 /40 grind if you have any info be nice to see video.you rock kent
Thank you kindly, Matt. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
I just turned a crotch out of “green” hard maple as my 2nd ever bowl. Your video was timely for me too. You make very clean cuts and make it look much easier than it was for me 😂. I learned some more from these bowls I will attempt to incorporate.
Jas
Every bowl you turn is packed with new skills to be learned. Enjoy and Happy Turning!
You are the Bob Ross of wood turning. Fantastic calming instructional videos, good job!
LOL, I love it! OK, thanks Will. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Awesome, thanks for the information..enjoy your videos always
Thanks for watching!
Looks very dangerous! I think I will leave this kind of work for the much more experienced. In stead, I would make a much smaller bowl without limbs hanging out to catch a tool and break a finger or hand, thanks.
Do what works best for you. Happy Turning!
There is no end to what I can learn watching you at the lathe.
Thank you, Charles! Happy Turning!
Hi Kent, that's a nice idea to make twins bowls with one piece, and your comments are always so useful and pleasant revision lessons. Continue your show. 👍
Many thanks Happy Turning!
Nice work! Would you recommend a standard 2HP or a 3HP Robust? Thanks!
You can never go wrong with more power. Happy Turning!
Sorry I can only like and subscribe once!! Thanks for your presentation.
I appreciate that, Steve! Happy Turning!
Yep, subed. Going to your website. Excellent instruction man. Thank you.
Awesome, thank you! Welcome and enjoy! Happy Turning!
Thank you for all the videos! It has been a great help to me as a beginning bowl turner. I have a question about how you deal with the warping and distortion as the bowl dries. Normally, I would use a twice turn approach to deal with the warping. However, in this case, the bowl is turned to a finished form while green; is there a secret to prevent it from warping as it dries?
No secret. These will distort like any green woodturning. However, because of their irregular shape, the distortion is barely noticeable. Happy Turning!
This comment is a tad late, but these were my Christmas gift to a friend two winters ago. She absolutely LOVED them. After watching with me she turned into a huge fan. Thank you!
Wonderful!
Why don't you show what these look like now, I'll bet they're all cracked up .
These have been sold Robert. And I'm sorry you would have lost that bet. ;) Because they are thin they were dry within a couple days. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Those were green correct? What about the drying process? Warping and crack?
Yes, green. Nope, no cracking and only small amount of shrinkage. Turn a evenly thin wall and they dry quickly, like a couple days.
Live edge bowls from drake elm is amazing. I think I'm sold on the sweptback gouge and will check out your vid on that. Excellent-Thanks!
Sounds good Michael. Thanks and Happy Turning!
This was an excellent video! One question how do you keep the wood from cracking as it's drying? You said the wood was wet. Thank you
This species of elm dries well on the shelf in my environment. Remember, all trees are different in every environment. You can use a paper bag to delay the drying if you are in a dry climate. That will help prevent cracking. Happy Turning!
Very informative! Wish I'd watched this yesterday before I chained up that apple log. I didn't leave the crotch wings long enough to flair out like yours in this video. I've been turning for about 16 years, but I still benefit from your vids! keep it up
No problem, Amy. At least you're prepared for the next opportunity! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Love the tip about taking off the lip by lining up the tool rest where you want the cut to be. That will be so helpful going forward. ( 😊 If I write myself a note to remember to do it. Getting old.)
Glad it was helpful! I know what you mean about writing notes. LOL Happy Turning!
We just took some big branches off a black walnut tree and I have lots of raw material including crotch wood. I’m so happy I found your channel just when I’m about to make some bowls.
Fantastic! I hope you have fun making those with the walnut. Sounds fun! Happy Turning!
This video is very timely for me. I have a Japanese maple crotch (slightly smaller as yours) cut last summer. I've wondered how best to turn it. It may have a bark inclusion down into the crotch which might weaken the piece. I'll get a better idea after I bandsaw it in half. I hope it turns out; it will be a gift to my younger daughter (it was her tree).
Sounds like a fun bowl to unwrap. Enjoy the process. Happy Turning!
I clicked the like button before I even started to watch this video. Two more masterpieces. It was very interesting to watch you get two bowls from one
chunk of wood. Thanks for sharing. I love to watch you work.
Thank you kindly, Jim! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
The wood that you are turning is wet. So how do you account for the warping as the wood dries?
You allow it to warp, which is minimal when turning thin. Happy Turning!

Thanks for entering. Happy Turning!
I'm curious as to how it is a finished bowl but, you turned it wet. How does that work and will the bowls change shape as they dry or does the oil prevent that?
Because it is so thin, it will dry in a few days. Any warping or shrinking is minimal. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
@@TurnAWoodBowl thank you for that information! That really helps me as a relatively new turner!
Just watching this vid (first one of yours I’ve seen). As a novice turner but longtime primary school educator, it’s great commentary. Helpful but not too verbose. Smashing effort. Convert to you. I’d echo previous comment about “Worth the effort” vids. Also great source for us Nubia’s! Keep them coming!!!
Awesome, thank you! Will do! Happy Turning!
The best part of the video is that the entire time he is turning, he is explaining what he is doing and why! Most turning videos I have seen are just a view of wood being removed, with no explanation. Well done! I learned more about turning bowls from this one video than any 10 previous videos.
Awesome, Ted! I'm glad you benefited from this one. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Are these 2 bowls for art or can you use them for food like small salads?
Yes, functional art. These can be used more as key or ring bowl. Many people put these near a door and place their keys in them. ;)
Happy Turning!
very impressive good turning great looking bowls
Thank you, John! Cheers! Happy Turning!
Turned his own mallet!!!
I like the way you explain why you do what do I am new to turning thanks
Welcome! Glad to help! Happy Turning!
I just ordered a tee shrit and a sticker from your web site can't wait to get it
WooHoo! Thank you, Betty! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Do you teach live classes? I am ready.
S.Chandler
I don't, sorry. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
You don’t dry the wood before finishing? Does the danish oil allow for that?
Yes, the oil allows the wood to "breathe" and it controls the speed of drying by slowing it a bit, which can help to prevent cracks.
@@TurnAWoodBowl Thanks for the clarification! Have you ever put a follow-up finish, like poly, on top of the oil? If so, how long did you wait?
Very clear and helpful. Thanks for your effort.
You are welcome, Ron!
First time i saw ur channel. I am sure glad I did. I love them.
Thank you, Tammy and welcome! Happy Turning!
Once again, thank you Kent. If I can make a suggestion that would be helpful for me would be to add in your comments some measures of your blanks, diameter, height or depth, tenon depth etc. It would help me a lot to evaluate my projects. I tend to have problems with dimensioning my projects.
Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind. Happy Turning!
👌👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🥇🥇🥇
I assume your 4 jaw chuck has a dovetailed shape. What degree dovetail do you make on your tenon? Also, are you using one of the hurricane chucks? I have heard negative opinions/remarks about jaws that have parallel grooves. It is difficult to see closeups of the jaws for every chuck I have looked at on line. ( I am 1.5 hrs from a woodwork supply store, so I have to rely on internet images.)
Watch you video, grouw up woodturning inspirations! A question, this is seasoned wood or fresh wood?
Green, wet wood, a fresh cut branch. Happy Turning!
Excellent demo with good narrative and first class camera angles. Thanks for sharing
Many thanks! Happy Turning!

Beautiful matching pair of live edge bowls. This is such a treat to watch you work your magic on the lathe!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed this. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Question: since you said that the piece was very wet, were you not concerned that it would warp or crack as it appeared that. You completed the project in one session?
Being turned thin it will dry pretty fast and since it is even thickness it will have less stress. I doubt it will crack. I recommend to practice with local woods available to you. You will learn how certain species behave compared to others. Happy Turning!
Beautifully presented learning curve, covering various chisel actions in creating two mirror imaged bowls. Learned a lot in just this one video. Thank you sir for sharing
My pleasure, Seanie. Happy Turning!
Today I stood in front of my lathe and heard myself saying "ride the bevel" . Nothing more to say ... I'm addicted to your videos. Well, ok, I also shouted out once " time for sanding", but that's Phil Anderson...
Love it! Inner mantras are a good thing…I think. ;) All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Well, it’s like you are going forward in time to see my question about dovetail degree. I type in comments as you go in the video. You sre a great instructor.
I seriously read 2 for 1crotch bowls.
😆
Great work Tim…… just wondering do also rough turn green wood, let it dry and finish turn when the moisture content is reduced
Enjoyed watching your video 👍
Thank you 👍 Happy Turning!
I think Birchwood Casey gun stock finish would work great. It has the polymers & wood penetrating properties your looking for, and is even oil resistant.
I'll have to check it out. Thanks for sharing.
I like your camera angle, I like starting the next bowel right a way, I still have muscle memory.
Great video as always.
Tim, UK.
Thank you, Tim! Happy Turning!
hi there. nice result. Just a naive question: how safe was this without using a faceplate?
Good question! Very safe. You do need to periodically tighten the tailstock, as green wood will contract as you turn. Happy Turning!
@@TurnAWoodBowl ,.
Hey Kent, thanks for another great video. I've been watching all of your videos since i got a lathe for christmas. I've been getting all sorts of compliments on my work and most of that is thanks to you and the "worth the effort" guy. Thanks for making these videos and you can count on a thumbs up from me.
That's awesome. Thank you so much! Happy Turning!
Great training, lovely 2 bowls, many thanks, learned a lot
Glad you enjoyed it. Happy Turning!
Wow 🤩 just amazing
Thanks a lot 😊 Happy Turning!
Thank you for your videos. One question will the bowls not distort or warp since they were turned green
They will distort a small amount but it will be unnoticeable because of the irregular shape. Happy Turning!
Kirk, you are my wood turning swami. I have learned so much from you. One question, I’m doing a twice turned live edge bowl now. How do you recommend I preserve the live edge. I’m thinking to cover in thin CA before my final turning. Especially as I accidentally knocked a chunk off when rough turning. I Used medium CA to restore that.
Rob, you can apply CA at the base of the bark to help it hold on. Remember not all woods will work the same. It is common for the bark to pop off. Try different tree species to find one that works best for live edge work. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Hi Kent, why wouldnt you use a 1 inch forstner bit to make the flat spot for the drive center?
Kent, does your e corse cost any thing to use?
Thanks Judith. Yes, and they are all priced per course. Check them out here www.TurnAWoodBowl.com/courses Happy Turning!
2/14 is just about here. Those 2 bowls interior grain pattern bear a striking resemblance to the shape of a heart. Did you plan that...
Happy coincident. Happy Turning!
Just got a lathe for Christmas, learning so much on UA-cam. i enjoyed this clip and will watch many of your programs.
Thank you, Burtt! All the best to you and Happy Turning!

Hi Kent. How do you prevent the bark edge from falling off once the bowl is finished?
Good question. Allow the piece to dry slowly. The oil helps slow a fast dry time. It really depends of the tree species and other conditions. Some trees will almost flick off their bark instantly and others seem to bond the bark to the wood like cement. Experiment with different varieties and you'll find a good candidate for live edge turnings. Also, try to harvest the wood in the winter when there is less activity between the bark and the wood, in the cambium layer. Happy Turning!
