Woodturning a Live Edge Cherry Bowl

About two and a half years ago, I got a big chunk of cherry wood from a viewer who had recently cut down a cherry tree in his yard. I brought this big piece of cherry home and cut it into various pieces with the chainsaw with a few projects in mind. One of the pieces I turned into a live edge bowl. Now that this piece from two and a half years ago has dried, I can finish it and bring it to its final form. I don't do many live edged turnings so this was a little bit of a challenge for me. But it worked out in the end and I think it turned out very nice.

That’s an incredible peace of art.
Thank you for letting us all watch as you made it.
A bowl that only it's mother could love.. It's mother and me, it's wonderful.
superb production quality and storytelling on the video Frank, the split-screen at the start was very effective and fun.
You are a true artist Frank.
Such skill! Amazing wood working, amazing production values!
Awesome!!! Always a viewing pleasure!!!
SOS NOTHING NEW
I've watched most of your videos over the years. I think this piece is my favorite one yet. It really ended up as a showcase of the material more than the form. Very well done.
God DAMN I love these videos. I'm 24 years old, studied engineering in college and am now trying to switch over into neuropsychology, but I really wish I could be a woodworker sometimes. Amazing as always Frank! Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you.
The "Carol Burnett Mop Lady Alter Ego" of yours is a fun touch. Could've used another rotation or two of the payoff shot. That was a great figured piece of wood and wanted to watch it a bit more. Thank you Frank!
Every wood has a beautiful art side and you find that side perfectly. thanks for sharing and I really like your work 🙏
The fact that these videos all take 2-3 years to make is unbelievable. Much respect!
So much patience to let it season for that long. Almost need to forget about it and make heaps more for ongoing green to seasoned rotations.
with enough room or empty top shelves, wood is easy to forget about.
Is it me, or has this revealed a portrait/sculpture of Groot's sister?
Most excellent work Frank! 😁
What a beautiful piece! Great to see the projector screen back in use again, always been a fan of your ""outside the box"" editing!
Beautiful bowl Frank! Loved the ending when the other guy said: "That guy is such a slob!" 😂😂
🙏👍
There is so much beauty in the imperfections of this. It's awesome. Cheers!
You know it's going to be good when Franks brother helps out.
I had no idea they were twins.
Not many know his name is actually Knarf
Beautiful looking bowl, Great Vid as always. thanks for sharing
Love your style of video. You explain exactly what you are doing instead of just showing the work your doing. And, no obnoxious music!
Frank, I’ve flown helicopters in combat but would never try to shave the inside of that burl with that jagged very irregular edge! You’ve got a pair of Steelies Frank!
That is one Beautiful bowl you made! Excellent craftsmanship!
BTW, Don’t listen to that Hawaiian tourist helper you’ve got, he’s had too much sun and a surf board hit him in the head.
MRrwmac I agree with your fear. I was on ragged edge waiting for it to explode or catch the tool!
Andy Phillip does a lot of bowls like this from mutant wood knots and other odd wood pieces. Great stuff.
i think a lot of people don’t realize that the actual bowl turning is the easy part. most anyone could go out, buy a bowl blank, and turn a nice finished bowl in an afternoon. the truly impressive thing about this channel is the way frank sources, processes, organizes and documents his lumber and blanks over the course of years. it seems like every project he takes on uses stock that he has processed down from the tree himself. from bowl blanks to the basement remodel.
3:17 time stamp. Was that bug on there whilst turning? Going for the craziest ride of its lifetime 👍👍🤣🤣🤣
I've recently thought about doing this kind of live edge myself so your experience is very helpful, especially the part on sanding the overhanging points. Enjoyable and informative video as always, Frank. Keep up the great work!
Any info on where I can get me one of those clones Frank? Seems like one could get more stuff done. Noice!
No link in the description for the Hawaiian shirt?
Really amazing production and presentation! Few makers go the extra mile. Love your videos!!
I AM GROOT!
Beautiful peace! I’ve got a nice chunk of burial sitting on my back porch, now I just need to buy a lathe and learn how to use it 🤣
Hello Frank!
In the beginning of the video I was kind of wishing that you would "complete" the bowl with resin, but when I saw the end result I realized that it was perfect just the way it was.
Maybe you can find another similar piece of wood and fill in the missing parts with resin? I guess it will require som kind of mold to get a good result.
Anyways, thanks for a great video! It's very relaxing watching you create nice things out of wood :)
Kind Regards, Joel
Frank, hello! Please advise which mask and which filters will be reliable for protecting the respiratory organs and eyes for woodturning, woodcarving and etc.?
Now starring Robo-Frank!
Wow Frank it is fantastic and stunningly beautiful magnificent and spectacular. Wow!!!
Frank , I would like strongly warn you against the way You trim that blank on bend saw , i saw horrible accident when broken blade bounce of the table straight to the belly of my collogue and make his guts spilled out ,( logically , gravity is bitch) I was 17 and remember this like today. consequently right after our company safety officer posted steep charge (500) for anybody even ,, loitering" on that side of saw and termination for who work like that. Love quality of Your work and looking forward of more consent
I've been watching for years and love these videos. I just realized that I have absolutely no concept of how long the timelapses are in real time. I can't even begin to guess how long it takes you to turn a bowl on a lathe- is it twenty minutes? Is it two hours? I truly have no clue. Honestly, don't tell me. The mystery makes it exciting.
Also, what's your favorite method for getting wood chips off your shirt?
That's a very beautiful piece of irregular work, Frank. Now that autumn is coming I can imagine some delicious Oregon apples in the finished bowl.
Now the new “helmet” “needs” some LED lights to show/highlight your face 😂 Adam Savage has a video about that IIRC
Hi Frank awesome video! FYI the link for the sale does not seem to be working for me, maybe because I am in Argentina? I think I have used it in the past so it shouldn’t be that. Thank you!
Next time maybe hot glue some blocks on the base to support face plate and avoid drilling holes into burl wood itself. Then when finished, use a heat gun to remove glue blocks. Just an idea????
It feels almost criminal how much those PAPR's cost! you could get a fairly competent mini lathe woodturning setup for the cost of the 3m PAPR. i plan on DIYing one sometime soon.
Not only are your wood working skills on poibnt but so are your editing skills. Keep up the great work.
Hm, maybe it would be possible to turn something like this easier if there was some filler material that could be removed later with a chemical. I wonder if such exists. Like some resin or something.
إياك أن تحتاج إلى شي ولا تطلبه من الله.
إحذر!! ان احتجت الى شي فاطلبه من الله وأكثر من الدعاء وألح يارب يارب وأنت موقن بالإجابة.
I love the fluid color and texture of the natural wood. Probably doesn't make since but the natural beauty of the wood that comes out after the work is done.
Production Assistant Frank seems like a rad guy to chill with. Hope he gets paid well. Lol
What I like to do with uneven pieces with interrupted cuts is to go as fast as possible. That way chisel can't sort of plunge too deep between cuts as the piece rotates. Obviously piece has to be fairly well balanced elsewhere at that point but I think that is one way to go about such things.
this is the very first video where I've seen both the drying and the actual bowl turning videos.... reminds me how long you've been creating such great content!!
Very nice bowl, the grain is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your video.
Very nice indeed
Frank, how did you deal with the screw holes from the faceplate?
Very beautiful piece of wood. 😎
12:32 is anyone else getting Groot from guardians of the galaxy vibes ? 🤣
Would have been interesting to complete the bowl using epoxy 😎
that's just beautiful. it's always nice to see your work ♥
I want that (in my Bobby Dukes voice) 🖤❤🖤
Did you do any filling on the screw holes left by the face plate?
Is three Franks too many Franks, or not enough Franks? Discuss.
The sped up scraping looked quite scary. Turned out great in the end
wow, if I ever find a bowl like that, I'll buy it :D Beauty!
Lovely.
How's that new hire working out? Must be nice to have a hand around the shop ;)
he works harder than I do
Was expecting a resin filling around the live edge to preserve it.
Surprised to see it actually doesn't need it :)
I was going to suggest that too. But bark is not as beautiful as sap wood. Although with burl all bets are off. So pretty.
Very cool! Looks like a cracked dinosaur egg or something.
what is the facemask with the breathing tube called? I would like to get one
Mother Nature has no equal in BEAUTY!
End result at 12:32 looks like baby Groot sleeping haha
Turned out beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
The rough part looks like the texture of the edible part of a nut.
It looks like Groot from guardians of the galaxy
Very nice, and so glad you didn't fill it with resin 👍
Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so jealous of your video editing skills....
absolutely love the way the pattern shifts in the light
Love it Frank! Wish you sold some of these!
That's beautiful, Frank.
That bowl is beautiful!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Beautiful I was wondering why you didn’t turn it upside down on your CNC and cut out the bottom so that it was flat and right where you wanted it then you could’ve managed it with the adjustable jaws jaws?
I have done that and it works great but for this one I would have had to make a complicated jig just to hold it on the cnc
Frank:
Big fan and love your work but as a bowl turner would offer a suggestion on how to turn a bowl without having holes in the bottom. Clean off a spot on what will become the inside and either mount a face plate or use a worm screw to mount to the head stock. Turn the outside of the bowl first and leave a tenon or recess for your 4 jaw chuck. Reverse the bowl and hollow out the inside which will erase the screw holes. Once you've finished the inside you can then remove the tenon and have a finished bowl with out holes.
I like that, like video editing but in wood. Cutting off the part of the prosses you don't want seen.
Very nice and a beautiful final product.
Super nice! Thanks for sharing!
That's a nice looking piece. Thanks.
Hi Frank, great video as always 👍. I noticed you have a new “air fed” mask, I use these daily and the speed glass welders mask (the belt pack fits both) I would recommend getting a hold of some visor protectors though as the visor is a scratch magnet, they are literally acetate and similar to a motorcycle helmets visor protector, 3m sell them relatively cheap and they just stick on with sticky tabs👍
I hope this helps and you can grab some soon
did you leave the screw holes on the bottom ?
I'm just here for the video magic.
I didn't know wood grain could do that. +1
hello , can i get your business email ?
Bloody Gorgeous as always frank!
Oh yeah, I get to be the first to comment. I have admired your work and talent ever since I started watching this subscription. I have been turning for almost 30 years and have never done a live edge. I have done mostly spindle work and some bowls but not like what you do. Thank you again for your inspiration. I wish you could come to the Idaho Artistry in Wood when this whole pandemic thing is over. Thanks much and best wishes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
burly bowl for a burly man, great work!
What an episode! We got introduced to some new Franks. There is astronaut Frank and Hawaiian shirt assistant Frank. Welcome to the family guys.
Not so functional but oh so beautiful
Beautiful! Nice job!👍
Anyone else see a decaying xenomorph egg?
Beautiful work :-)
The bowl is amazing. The aloha shirt is… not what I expected someone from Hawai’i to wear, but cool nonetheless ;-)
I don't know if I'm more impressed by the cherry burl or your video editing skills.
That looks like Groot's head !
Congratulations 👍😎👍
Anyone else seeing groot at 12:32 ?
Love your helper, and the bowl! What do you do with all these pieces after you finish them?
Beautiful piece. How did you eliminate the screw holes? It seems like the screws went deeper that what you sanded off at the end.
