This is truly a beautiful bowl Stephen and a pure joy to watch you turning it, and once again, thank you fore the voice over explenations. Regards, Júlíus
Nice bowl I have some 150 year old black walnut that came off friends family property so always saving for special projects this would be a good one for it thanks for the video!
Beautiful looking bowl and a very instructional video on the differences between end and side grain cuts. Glad to see you back. Looking forward to your next video. I learn a lot from you. Take care.
I should have searched on this project before I started mine. I'm doing exactly the same thing with a walnut bowl. Two days, so far. The techniques and things you mentioned are exactly what I'm experiencing. This wood is HARD! And of course, the end grain isn't helping any. At least I know it's possible. The outside on mine is done and I'm about a third of the way in depth on the inside. I'd just about given up but after watching your video, Stephen, you've inspired me to get back at it. At least I'm retired so no hurry, but it's always nice to get onto the next project. Thanks for this great video! I just subscribed!
I prefer turning green just cause its a whole lot less time in the shop( less sharpening, less lathe time) for me annyways. Its good to see your vids popping up again. hope to see more often coming up.
Thank you sir. I agree with you that it is easier to turn green wood and you can initially save time. It is the drying time and remounting that I would rather not have to do. Either way will produce good projects in the end. Glad you enjoyed this project and thanks for watching.
Great instructional video bro. Really love your work, I don’t know how I missed this one. The wood on the inside of the bowl certainly appeared to come out more easily and very clean with your pull cuts, but I understand that you needed to als go against grain from outside to get wood out quickly.. Thanks for sharing
Nice bowl Stephen. Amazing to me there were no cracks in the blank. Walnut is amazingly beautiful wood. I have found old dropped and forgotten walnut logs in the woods that were so far gone that you could scrap the sap wood off yet the heart wood yielded some beautiful bowls. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Joe. I have to say that I agree with you about Walnut. It truly is a beautiful wood. Also the Older it gets the better. Some dark heartwood color bleeds into the sapwood. This bowl is a slight example of that. Thank you for commenting.
As my friend, "the naked turner" here on UA-cam, you, sir, are an exceptionally fine American Artist! This is a doctrinal thesis on wood-turning and bowl-making on a lathe. This walnut bowl is simply gorgeous work! Thank you for the teaching! Arthur... Pharaon
I know it's been a long time since you shared this video, but I wanted to tell you I thought first the bowl is pretty, and the homemade depth guage is really clever.
So enjoy your video's. You remind me of my late brother-in-law from Arkansas. Talked sort of slow and deliberate. Wish you had cored this piece of walnut..
Glad you are back! You are part of my turning culture and when you disappear, I notice! I'm warming up to my new lathe and joined a club. You say something every now and then that rings a bell in my thick head and this improves the whole shebang. I appreciate you taking the time to do all this, as it helps out the community more than you know. Till the next time , be happy, my friend!!!
Thank you John. I sure am glad you enjoy my channel and are finding it helpful. I really enjoy producing my video projects but they are near the bottom of the "To Do" list and often get the back burner status. I plan to keep doing them as long as I can. Glad you enjoyed this project. Take care.
Hey Stephen good to see you back in the shop, l agree turning end grain can be a real challenge, nice job, l like the bark looks like it finished out nice. Still enjoying my lathe drum sander, sure makes finishing the segments easier, thanks for sharing.
I am turning a walnut bowl similar without the bark. No kidding is the dry end grain hard to cut. Doesn't seem like I will ever finish this beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing the video.
Thank you Stephen, Exceptional turning to a great result. I have a couple of similar pieces of walnut under my lathe which have been there for 2 years. I now know what I am going to try to do with them. Russell
Love the bowl. I've been watching your videos from the beginning ( and there's A LOT OF THEM) until the end. They are very educational as far as what cuts to make and where. You be helped solve a lot of my end grain tear out and such. I love your stuff man. As a new Turner, (less then a year) I need all the help I can get. Lol
Nice job, as usual, Steve. You've motivated me to head to my woodpile and see if I have any similar logs. They won't be as dry as yours so I may need to rough turn them first. Hope the bark will survive further drying. Best wishes, look forward to more videos. Tom Puskar Howell, NJ
Thank you Tom. I am glad you enjoyed this project. I find that usually the bark will tend to stay if it is still strong after about six months of drying. The initial shrinkage has already occurred. Keep it in a dry place. The only problem with turning endgrain while the moisture content is a little high is the possibility of checking.
Beautiful as always, Stephen! I just finished my first small batch of Pens that I learned how to turn from watching your videos! One of them was Walnut and you're right, it is a tough wood!
Mr. Ogle, thanks to watching you, I have finally pulled the trigger and bought my first lathe and i'm getting ready to see what happens next! Thank you.
Hi Stephen, great to see you back. Beautiful bowl and it looked like you worked hard on that end grain but with great results👌👌keep up the good work my friend. Trev
Thank you Trev. Great to hear from you. It was a tough piece of wood but keeping sharp tools will pay off even if it is slower than you think it should be. Glad you enjoyed it buddy.
Hey Stephen, was delighted to get the email announcing this video. Really nice bowl and as usual, I was smarter at the end than the beginning. Our electric utility took a big Arbutus (protected species here in BC) down on one corner of my property and left me with some 30+' of trunk wood and all the large branches, so will be doing some wet turning for a while. Thanks for sharing and welcome back!
Thank you Gord. Sounds like a great score for you my friend. You got lucky with that one. Someone else got to cut it and you got the "Free" wood. I have not heard of Arbutus. Good to hear from you again.
Beautiful bowl, as usual! Glad for the new video. I started turning since the last one, only pens and spindles so far. Had some beautiful crotch black Walnut to turn pens that was tricky and burnt my hand up. Thought I did a bad sharpening job on my old craftsman set, no it was just hard and grain going everywhere.
Thank you Ron. Glad to hear that you have taken the plunge into Woodturning. May you find it as enjoyable as I do. Figured wood can be a bit tricky. I am glad to hear that you have an old set of Craftsman lathe tools. I use mine daily and have found them to be made from really good steel. They hold an edge very well and get very sharp. They are really good tools.
What a great job. I'm new to turning and did my first natural edge bowl last night with reasonable success (but it was a lot smaller then the one you did). Look forward to turning more, thanks for sharing your experience.
Glad to see you back in your shop. Another great video, as always. Happy you pointed out the importance of using sound wood when making an end-grain bowl.
Thank you Scott. I really appreciate it. I have been in the shop I just have a hard time finding time to edit my raw footage. I have several projects on tape if I can just get it all together. Glad you enjoyed this project, sir.
Nice bowl bud. I've done a few projects with black walnut as well to include an end grain bowl. That was a little tricky being I started turning 5 months ago. Thanks for making these videos and explaining the steps and why you do them. I've learned a lot from your videos and have been trying new things each time a chunk of wood goes o. the lathe. Working on a yarn bowl right now, it's made from aspen which is tricky to work with but it's looking really good.
Thank you Wayne. I am thrilled to find out about people actually finding my channel helpful. Glad you enjoyed this project. Good luck with your Aspen Bowl.
Such a pretty bowl. Wish I could do that, would is so beautiful to start with. Your shirt made me giggle, there are some awesome art projects you can make with sawdust. God bless!
Great to see you back my friend. Wow did that turn out nice! The height of the bark was amazing but it looked as though you gained some extra arm muscles digging out the inside of the bowl. Brilliant end result Stephen, please keep them coming 😎🤠😎
Thank you Tom. You are correct. I knew when I had trouble getting screws into it that this bowl was not going to go quietly. Walnut this dry is very hard. Glad you enjoyed it!!
Thank you Sakis. I am glad you enjoyed this project. I was stationed in Crete at the Souda Bay NAS in Hania and passed through Athens a couple of times. You have a very beautiful country. I sure would Love to go back someday. Take care my friend.
You could call that a dragonhide edge, or an alligator rim. Thats awesome, thanks for sharing your videos.😎
This is truly a beautiful bowl Stephen and a pure joy to watch you turning it, and once again, thank you fore the voice over explenations. Regards, Júlíus
Thank you Julius. Glad you are enjoying my format and this project in particular. Take care.
Nice bowl I have some 150 year old black walnut that came off friends family property so always saving for special projects this would be a good one for it thanks for the video!
I have been turning end grain for most of my turning life because I did not know better. Thank you for your turning tips, I learned from them.
Hi Stephen
Beautiful bowl,video and narration!!
I learn more and more with every one of your videos!
Thanks!!!

Thanks Dave. I really do try to get more projects onto the tube, but life is busy around here. Glad you didn't forget my channel in my absence.
Like the lacy edge if the bark. Beautiful bowl inside and out.
