@jimputnam7539 thank you! It's definitely one of my favorites. The heart wood is why I turn most of these into live edge bowls. Turning the other way wastes so much of the heartwood.
@@FRBPturning you made the right decision. I had a similar experience this week and did the same thing because I’d spent a lot time fixing cracks already
Nice video! I like the amount of discussion you have, with breaks to just see the woodturning. Your voice cadence and tone are perfect and make it enjoyable to listen to. Looking forward to more!
@liveoak4124 I only have 1 decent scraper right now so that's a good tip! Hopefully I can start making some money soon so my wife doesn't yell at me for buying more tools🤣
Great balance between dialogue and cutting scenes. I like the running dialogue that gives us your thoughts and concerns while making decisions. Great to see you using carbide where necessary and not being a slave to gouges. Nice calm approach to the video. I’m a fan. Also….never heard of sassoo?.
@billmaxwell640 thank you! That's exactly the vibe I strive for. Too much talk or silence can be annoying or boring, for me. I spend a lot of time re-watching the footage to get my thoughts down. I had never heard of Sissoo until my friend said he had these trees cut down. Then I realized that's another name for Indian Rosewood, and I did everything I could to get those logs! It took me 2 days and 4 trips, 40 minutes each way to get them all home. Then another 3 days to chop them into blanks. So the logs were "free" but not really... totally worth it, though, and I'd do it again
I‘m new to turning. The most helpful vids show me tool presentation and the top spinning edge. When you put a treatment on, tell me what the stuff is. Best of all are vids at real speed, not fast forwarded. I thank you for this video. You are a true craftsman. Just wanted to share what one new turner, at least, looks for.
@@frkevinmccabe2070 Thanks Kevin! I tend to move my camera shots a round a bit. This is an older video with a different setup than I have now. I’m still working on improving my videos so I appreciate your feedback! Very soon I will have my dual camera setup running which should make things much nicer. I will say, I don’t think you want a real-time video from me! I’m not that fast and for a big bowl like this, there are several hours of footage/work I have to condense into something watchable. Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoy your own journey in woodturning!
That is how yarn bowls, laced-up, and zipper bowls got their start. Carve or cut out the crack and make it a feature area. But making it shorter works too!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That's a real pretty piece of wood turned to a cracking, ( no pun intended ), really pretty bowl. I've subbed to the channel. Liking your videos. 👍🏴
I would love to wait until all my blanks were dry but since I only started collecting logs last year, I would have nothing to turn for the next 2-3 years (or more for the bigger ones)! I do plan on trying more twice turnings when I can find more space to store the roughed bowls, which I don't have right now. Thanks for watching!
Exactly! I love hollowing until I get to the bottom. Then I'm always paranoid I'm going to go through the bottom no matter how many times I measure. I've only done that twice so far, but I'm sure it will happen again. Thanks for watching!
Yup! Gloves make it so my arthritic hands can actually do the work, and long sleeves to keep my allergic skin from getting exposed to irritants. If you read the description you see me address the glove issue. At no time have I told anyone that my way is the only or safest way. Everyone can do what works for them. Thanks for watching and commenting!
That is a fantastic bowl even if it did not end up being your original design. I am wondering why you choose to not rough turn it and let is sit for like a year to dry out?
@JOHNSmith-pn6fj I don't have a lot of storage to put rough turned bowls. So mostly I turn them green and thin. They don't distort much if I make them thin since it's so dry here. They are mostly dry by the time I'm done turning and sanding. This one was totally dry after I let it sit for a couple weeks. I may do more twice turnings now that I have a coring jig. Thanks for watching!
I found it funny when you said that hollowing was your favorite part, it's my least favorite. I much prefer the shaping of the outside. It's too bad it didn't turn out perfect, the wood is so beautiful. The biggest bowl I ever made got knocked down the stairs when my dog fell off the back of the couch and broke a chunk out. 😢
@JamesCouch777 oof. I would probably cry if this bowl got broken at this point. I think I like hollowing because I can usually have the speed higher, and I'm getting closer to being done. I will agree that the outside is where all the creative process happens, which is its own kind of fun.
Beautiful, really brings out the natural beauty of this tree. Your presentation tempo, and description of your efforts is very educational. Can you share which carbide tools being used? Thank you, will follow your work. Best
@davidfriedman3962 thank you! Maybe all those years teaching high schoolers left a mark! I have a set of Woodpeckers Ultrashear Carbide tools. I'm looking to get a couple more to hollow out vases and how forms. I haven't tried to do those types of turning yet.
Interesting timber , never heard of it before. The colour of the timber and grain look a lot like some of the camphor we get here in Oz down under.. Pity about the catches, you need a good hollower. I use cup bits from nova to hollow that deep in the angle. I was surprised that you wanted to finish this bowl with it being so wet. I normally rough out a wet bowl and leave it around an inch thick, a bowl this big would be a little thicker. There is a guide as to how thick a bowl should be when roughing out to dry though. Great result in end. Has the bowl warped at all.
It’s actually Indian rosewood and is used for guitar backs and sides if the trees are big enough. Great tonewood. Here it is used to stabilize slopes around freeways and drainage canals. If it spreads too far, it destroys concrete. After ~2weeks of drying at about 10mm wall thickness it was almost completely dry when I finished it. The rim is now 216mm and there is only 1mm of distortion with zero new cracks. I have found good success with walls around 1/4” (6mm) on wet blanks if I start and finish in the same day. If I only do the outside and then the inside the next day, I get issues. My shop gets so hot in the summer that I sometimes don’t have a choice. Turning right now is pretty tough. My shop is 92-95 F all day every day since summer started. Winter is better but the air is so dry it creates cracking issues. I kind of view this bowl a failure that came back around to success. I do things differently now if I can help it! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful bowl and work. I also have a friend who has given me some large Sissou rosewood from Tucson Arizona. I’m in New Mexico. It’s a beautiful wood. It was hard to tell due to the sped up footage but it looked like you were using a square carbide tool for hollowing at times. Not the correct choice in my humble opinion. I’m a fairly experienced wood turner and I have a suggestion. I use the small 8.9 mm round carbide cutter very often for hollowing. (Finish cuts with scrapers) It’s a game changer. Can hog out a lot of wood and the smaller cutter reduces catches dramatically. Most people say that carbide tools MUST be presented only horizontal to the wood. Nothing is further from the truth providing you use the rule of 45 degrees for slicing wood versus scraping. To accomplish this you round over the bottom corners of the tool with the grinder, polish them up, then roll the tool to approximately 45 degrees and drop the handle and lead the handle in front of the cutter and ONLY cut on the supported side of the tool on the tool rest. If you cut out past the tip of the cutter where the forces are out past the vertical line where the force is keeping you pressed downward onto the rest, but outside that line, instant catch like any other tool will do like a bowl or spindle gouge. I’m a soon to be demo-er and instructor in Durango Colorado at Makerlab. Looking forward to sharing my experience there among some very creative people. Actually leaving in about a half an hour to finalize the details on that. I really enjoyed your video and commentary on this project. I have used some bow ties to not close cracks but keeping them from getting worse and actually highlighting the crack. A possibility in the future. Also a series of holes drilled down either side of the crack with a leather lacing can also be visually highly beneficial and save the height of a bowl. Great fun watching this video. Take care, Scott
Thank you Scott! I have learned how to use my carbide tools a lot better since this video! You are correct in observing that I made some big user errors... I recently got a Trent Bosch hollowing tool set and used it for the first time on my last video and they worked quite well. I also intend to get a smaller hollowing tool as the once I have are absolutely not the right thing for this type of bowl. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to give me some good tips. Thank you very much!
Appears you hove the carbide cutter slightly above centerline when working inside. Try altering your placement next time s you're slightly above when cutting outside and slightly below when cutting inside with carbide. Gary at ThePapa1947 gives a great explanation of this with diagrams.

Sometimes you just have to go with what the wood wants. It turned out beautifully.

Great job! You should let your wood dry all the way before turning. A twice turned bowl will speed up the drying time. Keep on keeping on!

use your carbide tools on a downward angle your catches will be somewhat diminished
