Maple Knot Bowl
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 чер 2024
- On the side of a piece of wood I was cutting up on the bandsaw, I found a place where a branch had been cut off from the trunk of the tree. It looked like a nice piece that I could turn on the lathe into a bowl. I cut this particular piece of wood out of the larger piece I was working on and put it on the lathe and began to turn it. I found that the center of this piece, that used to be the branch, had completely rotted away and I ended up having to cut off what was going to be the bottom of the bowl. I made a segmented ring and glued it to the bottom of the bowl, making a new bottom to the bowl. It is made from pieces of the same maple tree and some thin walnut inserts. I also had an angled section on the top of the bowl that was missing. I made a segmented piece similar to the ring and glued it to the top of the bowl. It makes a wedge-shaped segmented section on the rim. I finished the bowl with tung oil. I like the juxtaposition of the monolithic section of the bowl and the very regular segmented sections of the bowl.

This is my 1st comment of any sort on anything on You Tube___”you sir are simply the best”!
Most well shot and edited videos on UA-cam.
Your “1-2 hour side project” is way better than any project i could ever do. Awesome!!!!
Someone suggested your videos because of your sophisticated editing. Not only did I see beautiful editing but I stumbled upon a very, very talented woodworker/turner in action. That is a beautiful bowl.
Franks voice is the calm I need to face the world. Thanks Frank.
I like how you celebrate defects and mishaps, instead of trying to hide them.
I've been watching your videos for years, and this is one of the most beautiful bowls I've ever seen you make! Wonderful
Likewise
The 'contouring' and coloring in the wood are very aesthetically pleasing
I like it. I wish I had 10 pieces, all identical to the one in this video. I would distribute them to 10 wood artists like you and give them no instruction other than “make a bowl”. I’d love to see how the others would deal with finding the rotten knot. A lineup of the finished bowls would illustrate a fraction of how many ways their are to solve the same issue. I always enjoy your videos and your unique approach. Please keep em coming. Thanks. 🥸👍🪵💥❗️✅
You inspire my retired life. giving me endless ideas of things I can do next. Thanks
Yes, thank you for the totorial reminder needed to be fluient when turning original desighn ideas.😉
Great bowl and info!!
I like how the segments at the top edge add the feeling of continuity from the part at the bottom.
I don't think that there isn't anything you can't do with wood. You are my woodworking idol for that reason. This is a great example.
Beautiful bowl
So much for simple but then this is “simple” for your skill level. Thanks for the video!
If i ever win the powerball, i will get me a shop like yours. Thanks for another nice video. 👍
Great film. Defects can be the source of creativity. Gorgeous bowl. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Very nice turning and cleaver idea to add the contrasting color to the maple.
Making the best out of a bad situation, thanks for sharing. Charles
Frank: oh a knot that seems like something fast and fun to play with
Knot: challenge accepted >;-)
It's always a pleasure watching you create the pieces in your shop. Keep them coming!

Fantastic Frank! Now here's one for ya: Make a sphere of Jupiter with its bands and storms and aurora and the great red spot! The eyes and swirls in your bowl made me think of that.

Magnificent bowl. I especially liked the additions of the bottom and partial top. Watching how you just seamlessly create from seemingly nothing is a wonder to behold. Really enjoy learning from you.
What a clever idea. Much more interesting than resin 🌞
Amazing that this was just a “spur of the moment” project too. Nice work again!
Best bowl ever! Love it!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍❤️
I really like how the top edge lines ended up continuing the bottom lines. It gives it a look like they're almost moving through the inside of the bowl. And, the mistake you made was thinking "this will be quick." That tells the universe to add stuff to your project! 🤣
Anyone else hear the familiar squeak of the walking clamp of the outro and be entertained by it and simultaneously sad that the video is over? Me, every time.
As usual, just beautiful Frank
Amazing results, video production and explanation.
Great way to salvage that knot, Frank. Looks really nice.

That was a fun one to watch. Seeing you overcome issue after issue and have a wonderfully creative solution was heartening.
Amazing. This bowl turned out beautifully. The segmented sections REALLY add to the bowl. Incredible.
Beautiful piece, Frank -- I love the thinness and flare of it, and I always admire the creativity you use to problem-solve. There's something oddly animated to those little clip clamps -- kind of like the spider robots in Minority Report.
Great to see some turning! Love seeing Frank woodturning.
I've been watching since about 2018. I love all of your videos, but I've definitely missed bowl videos like this. You always have such a cool way to take something unusable and turn it into something beautiful.
Turned out real nice. Thanks for sharing
Frank- thank you for another video to help with my weekend Zen! So so inspirational. Amazing
Surprised to see that knot totally rotted out. It didn't look that bad from the outside. Not much of a hint that you could see. A lovely form here. Thanks for sharing!
The concepts you dream up always amaze! Could watch your videos 2-3 times a week! Great job!!!!!
Lovely shape and contrasts!
Really beautiful work, Frank! It looks amazing! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
You never cease to amaze me!
you sculpted around a knot to come to a design. I like it.
Love how this turned out
I haven’t got a lathe, but I thoroughly enjoy watching you use one. Regards
The one turned out really great!
Very nice. Always enjoy your videos and your commentary. Thank you
Came out nice. 👍
Beautiful as always, Frank.
I'm getting some real Laura Kampf vibes here "Oh, it'll just be a quick little project" and before you know it you're making major structural changes.
Nice. The swirls remind me of the surface of Jupiter.
It was nice meeting you at Winco. 🥳
Very nice project, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful 💜
You nearly had a lampshade there before it turned back into a bowl😄
Birdy
I really like the design! Great work!
Beautiful and interesting process🇨🇦
Another awesome video!! Thank you!!
Nice looking bowl Frank, like the bottom shape to it
Very pretty project, Frank. Congrats.
That's really neat!
Always great!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love how you always find room in your project book for every little scrap piece! 😊
looks really good
Beautiful bowl! When I get my new lathe mounted (I moved shops) I will try something like this.
That reminds me . I need to buy sandpaper. Cheers
wow wow very nice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice transplants
Very nice; beautiful shape and dimensions. For my taste, maybe a slightly darker overall stain to show the swirling grain pattern more, and to contrast a little less with the darker strips you glued in - just a thought.
Love it!
Very nice
I have a feeling that a much thinner bowl would look and feel so much better.
Let's say 1cm thick. Is that possible to turn?
If not the whole bowl, at least the very rim, so it looks like the sides are very thin.
I love this piece! I feel like the best things happen when you're forced to replace some of the original wood :)
good skills❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ i love this
The more I see how you address imperfections, the more I realize that perfection is boring.
The monolithic part reminds me of Jupiter.
Creative use of the piece of wood. Hopefully the bottom stays together. Typically you shouldn’t glue wood that comes to a point. There’s no place for the wood to move.
What a creative mind, please do another stop motion if your feeling up to it
If you flip it over and put some googly eyes on it, he would look pretty good!
I feel like the legs on the lego table would looker better if they also were based on lego bricks.
It was very Memphis 80s looking before you turned the wedge lol
"Turned Out" not to be a knot bowl ... :) Great result ...
Frank, I love that you’ve taken what I call a squirrel* project and made it into an heirloom. Just gorgeous.
(*When I’m in the middle of a long or tedious project and I see something that looks quick and fun, I’m like a dog that’s just sniffing along and then sees a squirrel. I laser focus on the new, shiny project. It’s not an insult.😂)
That's exactly what this was, than it kept growing
Bowled me over
Just watched a documentary on Howarth of London made woodwind instruments. Have you been holding out on us, Frank?
if only you tied the walnut into the maple bowl as well as the filled void section, perhaps break up that hard glue line
Do you sell the bowls? If you don’t, I can only imagine how full your kitchen cupboards must be at this point
How many bowls do you have at home? Whenever I see you turning yet another bowl I just imagine you guys walking around and tripping on piles upon piles of bowls.
I can really feel the sunken cost fallacy on this one. Still, the end product is always worth it it seems
I think they call that "Curly maple"
How about a segmented bowl made out of burl pieces? A way to use burls that are too small to otherwise be used...
👋👍
A Hammond Glider saw?
Would dovetails or tabs have worked for attaching the replacement wood on top? Would it have turned ok? Just curious.
should work, I like the idea.
Yet Another Bowl?
Excellent vid as always Frank! A trick I've used for slippery glue ups like your segmented edge wedge is to sprinkle a few grains of table salt into the wet joint, which adds a little traction owing to the cube shape of the grains. So far I haven't seen any downsides with the tiny amount I've used. I think it dissolves into the wet glue. Cheers!
😃👍🏻👊🏻
Are u going to do a Christmas ornament this year ?
That's the plan
Frank, what is the brand of that band saw?
