#woodturning #woodworking #turnawoodbowl - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Before I started watching these videos, it just never occurred to me that a bowl would be oriented in any other direction. Imagine my surprise when I watched Phil Anderson of Shady Acres Wood Shop put a chunk of wood onto his lathe side to. You cant do that I mentally screamed at my tablet. Well, about 35 minutes later I learned that he CAN do that when he held a beautiful live edge bowl in his hands and showed off the magnificent crotch grain and the unusual bark formations that he had preserved. So now I know, but I appreciate you confirming that one actually can make end grain bowls as well. And a beautiful, well crafted bowl at that. Thank you once again Kent for your time, patience, knowledge and passion for this wonderful ancient art form. I look forward to spending time with you each day.
I picked up a very similar piece of ditch wood today and planned on trying an end grain bowl. Then I stumbled on this video. Thanks for the lesson.
LOL - when passing a nice pile, before I even stop, my wife yells NO! But honey, I need these.... Thanks for sharing
LOL! I don't have that issue so much. Now when the car is filled to the roof, and we have a long road trip, I do hear a little grumbling. ;) Happy Turning!
I joined a local wood turning club a few months back, we were chatting at lunch and discussing different techniques when I mentioned a really good channel for learning, when one of the old blokes says “is that turn a wood bowl on TH-cam?”, another bloke leans in, “yeah is that Kent, who does the bowl videos?”
About 4 on us were fans of your videos and then all commented on your various techniques. Great job mate, always learning so much from your content 👍
Jed, Thank you for writing and sharing! Wow, thanks for the kind words and support. I'm honored to be able to help you guys along your wood bowl turning journey. Is it safe to say you're in Australia? I've always wanted to visit. All the best to you and Happy Turning, "mate!" ;)
@@TurnAWoodBowl yes mate, Aussie here! Hopefully you get a chance to visit one day. Come to rainbow beach if you do, it’s paradise!
Ditch wood. Love it! Nice shot of the car. Maybe next time, slide across the hood all Dukes of Hazard-like.
Thanks Kent for what you do. You’re among my top 5 TH-camrs lately.
This was such a well presented tutorial and the filming was superb! Clear, focused with all angles for optimum clarity. That extreme close up showing the effects of the different cutting angles really helps. Thank you for going that extra mile. It was so helpful!
Awesome, thank you, Ron! I'm thankful you appreciate the effort! All the best to you and Happy Turning!

When turning wet, end grain pieces, I leave the tenon, then drill out the pith. It is easy to glue a plug into the drill hole after the piece dries, and I don't get any splitting. The tenon is there to ease sanding and finishing, too.
Makes sense. Thanks for sharing. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Great video on hogging out end grain. I can use this on my birdhouse design. Thx Kent.
This one helped me a lot! My eyes are always scanning the roadside for free wood, so I was drawn to this video. But then, when you started the end grain bowl turning, it went from interesting to totally immersed. Thank you for this one.
Thanks, Jeff. Glad you liked this one! Happy Turning!
Kent, gotta tell ya how much I appreciate your videos! Started turning earlier this year and have done about 5 bowls thus far. I’ve probably said this in previous comments, but I really appreciate the real time speed and the thorough explanation. It has helped me tremendously.
That's awesome. Thank you for writing and sharing! So glad these are helping you. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
I have been turning bowls for a year, mostly side grain, but have tried a couple of end grains and ‘discovered’ what I don’t know about wood. This video has been the equivalent of a graduate school class in turning…thank you so much. Not only is the turning action second to none but the dialogue is a fountain of knowledge which has answered so many questions about areas that I didn’t know I didn’t know. Thank you thank you.
That is awesome! Thank you so much, Bill! I'm so glad you learned form this. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Great teaching, Thank you
;) My Pleasure! Happy Turning!
So glad I found this video.
Lots of good information I could have used 2 days ago when I turned my first ever bowl. Don't get me wrong. It turned out ok and I love it. But I think I made every mistake I could.
Now after watching this video, I feel like I've gone from "How hard can it be?" to "Oh, it's supposed to be that easy."
Thanks hoss.
My pleasure Hoss. Give it some time and practice, you've got this. Happy Turning!
I just took delivery of my lathe yesterday. I have so much to learn and am sure you are going to be my teacher. Thank you for an excellent teaching video, exactly what I need right now.
Great to hear! Thank you and welcome aboard. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
@@TurnAWoodBowl Thank you so much.
This is really informative and helpful. Thank you
ditch wood? lol. love it. it's one of the most satisfying things ever to jump out of the truck and fire up the chainsaw and bring home some random chunk of ditch wood only for it to turn out to be some of the most beautiful stuff you've ever seen.
It's a big wet spindle! Thank's Ken. Best regards.
You got that right! Thanks and Happy Turning!
Thanks I learned a lot 👍
Glad to hear it, Robert! Happy Turning!
Great video thank ❤️
I love end grain turning and prefer it , you can feel the tree looking at it
I totally agree about seeing the rings! Watch my next video. ;) Happy Turning!
I truly appreciate the explanation of when to use the spindle gouge. Never realized it was on account of the grain orientation. As always, extremely informative instruction. Thanks!
Thank you, Wendy! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Just spotted some wood on the side of the road yesterday. Now I have to go back….😊
Hurry! I've seen amazing tree debris just disappear. It only takes one truck and a couple guys to make that great turning material vanish! ;) Happy Turning!
To be pine that turned out really nice! Thanks for sharing! Take care and GOD BLESS!
Thank you! Cheers! Salute! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Thank you for another very informative video. I just picked up a bunch of free wood. It’s all end grain and I want to make bowls. Also I use all carbide tools. You’re a fantastic teacher and ive learned quite a bit from watching your videos. Thank you.
Kent, Very interesting this made for a different looking bowl. You are a very good instructor and I really enjoy your videos. The first couple times of watching I never noticed but we could see the water running off of your bowl gouge. Thank you for showing how we could see if we had the bottom the same thickness as the side walls. That was cool.
Glad this was helpful for you. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Thankyou Kent. Such a pleasure watching your videos.
My first intention is to watch the start but you always get me hooked and I will end up watching the whole thing.
You have such an easy manner. UK Fan
Wow, thanks. Much appreciated. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Very nice. I have a few oak and pine trees that have been down on my property for several years. I am looking forward to inspecting them now for project pieces. Thank you!
Sounds great, Rick. Have fun and Happy Turning!
I’m afraid à cannot explain in words of how much I appreciate your videos. Not only the full subject if a necessity evil for the fresh apprentice woodturners but a refresher for the seasoned woodturners. Your videos are always educational and informative. The demonstrations are presented with a professional level, the explanations as it is filming are meticulously done and voice of experience is added. The tools used are given an explanation . Sir is an exceptionally best woodturners and instructeur of them all. I still watch his videos numerous time. As a refresher and I love to to lister to the instructor all throughout the process of the subject in question.
Sylvie, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are the reason I make these videos. I hope to share my knowledge and spread my enthusiasm for the art of bowl turning. I'm so happy to have inspired you. Thank you sincerely! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Believe me the pleasure is al mine.
Thank you your words of lathe wisdom has real helped me get going on my new fav hobby
Fantastic, Vincent! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Thanks for sharing. Hook tool looks interesting and challenging.
You're welcome. Yes, they take a bit of practice, but not bad. Happy Turning!
Oh, how I wish I had seen this video before I tried turning an end grain bowl last week. As someone new to woodturning I learnt all of the problems you mentioned (The hard way!!!) and most of the solutions by trial and error. I thought I was doing something wrong by using my scraper to remove the interior. (I'm smiling now) I had even planned the same shape foot as yours but, somewhat stupidly I thought the tenon could be the foot. I didn't leave a second base piece to form the foot. I now have another little problem to solve, to finish off my bowl. And that will be after I have finished making my jam chuck...........Watch this space!! (Thanks for some great videos by the way. They are just what we Newbies need. Clear instructions and excellent camera angles to see what you mean.)
Jenny,
Thank you for writing and sharing! Not to worry, everything you described has been etched in your mind and is all part of your learning experience. In reality, you just advanced incredible far in a short time. Well done!
All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Kent
Thanks so much for your instructional and informative videos. I am learning so much.
You're welcome, David! Happy Turning!
Great work as always. Thanks for the fantastic video!
My pleasure! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Terrific video, Kent. Enjoyed the commentary very much. Cheers. 🦘
Thanks, glad you liked this one. Happy Turning!
Looks great Kent!
Thanks for watching! Happy Turning!
Love it! Thank you.
You are so welcome! Happy Turning!
Your editing is amazing (e.g. superimposing the bowl gouge on the hook while cutting to illustrate angular limitation), and your commentary is descriptive and instructional. As an engineer and beginner woodturner, I really appreciate your many videos.
Wow, thank you, Rob! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
So enjoyable to watch thanks for all your input greetings from New Zealand
Thanks for watching all the way in New Zealand! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Thank you for the information on grain.
My pleasure! Happy Turning!
Thanks for all your video I have learned more techniques while watching your video. This video gave me inspiration to do my first deep bowl. It turned out well. I used the Bowl Gouge to turn out the centre.
Wonderful! So glad you are expanding your abilities! Well done! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
i needed this video i just started turning and have so many mistakes
Be sure to watch my bowl gouge series of videos. With persistent, patient practice you'll be making the bowls you imagine! Happy Turning!
Luv free wood, my neighbour gave me some of his red cedar split campground fire pit wood turned a vase & a bowl out of it. Much better than burning it in a fire pit.
Yes, free wood is the best! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Nice work I like good job
Thank you! Cheers!
Stunning
Thank you! Cheers!
thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
The hook tool works better than the smaller ring tool!
It's all in the operator. I've seen both used well by different people. Happy Turning!
What on earth were you thinking!?! ya should have brought a trailer with you for the rest of that wood 😊
Ha! Lots of small loads. Just down the street. ;)
I have lots of "ditch wood" in my own ditch. All I have to do is add the hook tool to my tool rack. Great video - thanks.
Right on, sounds great. Happy Turning!
Great shape. Very good narration. Easy to follow along and see what you are talking about. Nice job. That hook tool seemed to be a little too extended and bouncy. I turned end grain Palm Trees a few times here in South Florida. Turned out different. Mahogany, Black Olive and Live Oak are the other "ditch woods" I find down here. Thanks for sharing.
Lou, thanks for sharing. Great species you have available in ditches. ;) Happy Turning!
nice job. like to see it when its dry and finished.
Thanks 👍 Happy Turning!
Thank you very much for this video! When i first bought my lathe the "end turn bowl" was the first shot at a bowl i tried and oh no was that a butt kicker. I have steered clear of anything like that ever since. ( it did not survive.) That was almost 2 years ago. Side note but related, Im lucky to report that in almost 2 years with the lathe ive only gotten 1 substantial injury ( not to tempt the gods by saying that i am currently knocking on wood, tossing a black cat under a step ladder throwing salt over the left shoulder or what evs etc...) I was sanding on the lathe and somehow turned my middle finger upwards to catch a large chunk of wood / sliver between my nail and finger fully inserted. Quick thinking i pulled it out with nearby needle nose plyers because i knew it was gonna be very tender to the touch in moments. felt the need to share that along with the thank you for your instruction im excited to take another turn at the end grain bowl.
Wow, Thank you for writing and sharing! Ow, that sounds like it hurt. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
I'm so glad you did this video! I started turning in November and my new hobby quickly escalated to include wood collecting. And I've wondered about end grain bowls, seemed like cracking made leaving the core a bad idea. Now I'm going to try it! Can you do a video on bowl design? What proportions make an attractive piece?
Thanks Tammi. Yes end grain turnings have there challenges too, but give it a try. Remember every tree species is different and the you'll need to experiment to see what works best. Bowl design course will be coming after I finish the "Tree to Bowl" course in the working right now. ;) All the best to you and Happy Turning!
very nice piece
Many thanks!
Thanks for the video Kent. I'd love to see some more info on the hook tool, proper presentation, sharpening, etc. I've got one but it baffles me so much that I haven't used it. 🧐
I'll see what I can do. Thanks and Happy Turning!
Sehr schön gemacht👌
Dankesehr. Viel Spaß beim Drehen!
Please do another video when the bowl dries. I'd love to see the new shape. and how you finish it.
I'll see what I can do. Happy Turning!
Always be sure of the wood species. Oleander turns great and is so pretty. It will also loll you. I learned the hard way
Well I sure don't want to be lolled. It doesn't sound good. Happy Turning!
@@TurnAWoodBowl Dern autocorrect.
Excellent video. Those hook tools always made me a little nervous so I used to use the sorby ring tool. Not sure if they still make it. It's been a few years since I've done any serious turning I'm just getting back into it. Thank you for the videos.
Wow that was so cool 😎 😍
Thank you, Mandi! Happy Turning!
@@TurnAWoodBowl I don't turn, though it would be so cool
very cool
Thank you, Jane. Happy Turning!
I enjoy your videos. Thank you. A bottom feeder bowl gouge would get you to the bottom of that bowl.
Yes, but not as easily with a grain supported direction. Happy Turning!
ive done two bowls like that so far, both have split and cracked on the sides as it dried and i have a heck of a time getting the bowl area dug out, course i dont have a hook thingie
Thanks for the interesting video. I've wondered from time to time about why Japanese lathes and tools aren't used for bowl work.
Thanks for watching!
And then the wait to see if it dries or cracks.. lol. I love using wood from out community compost/yard waste site, and about half are bowls, the rest are artisinal firewood.
Found wood is the best! Happy Turning!
That looks amazing, I was given some log chunks a while ago but my lathe isn't big enough, and I can't afford to buy another one.
Thank you for sharing Mark. Maybe in the future. Happy Turning!
I’m looking forward to see the final finish when it dried 🇸🇪
I'll see what I can do. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Whoa Kent! Those quick stops and jackrabbit starts at the beginning of the video are hard on the car. Yeah, I know you're excited about turning some free wood (ditch wood) and wanted to get with the program when you got home. Burning rubber as you were leaving indicated this!!!!!! Just giving you a hard time!!!!
Very informative video. I never thought pine would be a good wood to turn even if it was free. But, you have given me good cause to change my mind and will look for some pine or other types of wood from tree trimming services and try a little end grain turning. The hook tool is interesting and will need to look into one. However, I think a round carbide tool would work well hollowing out the wood. But, it might mean I need to kick up the speed of the lathe to get a good cutting action and possibly increase some hazards at the same time. Thanks for sharing!!!!!!
BTW.....Nice wood grain in the inside of the bowl!!!!
LOL. Free sound effects from the web turned my car into a stunt vehicle. LOL Glad you enjoyed! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
An impact driver and square head skrews realy help for Mounting face plates
Kent, please bring back the finishing of this bowl.
I'll see what I can do. Happy Turning!
Olá amigo. Muito bom seu trabalho parabéns
Muito obrigado! Tudo de bom para você e feliz giro!
As always: Interesting and instructional. Many thanks! I, too, see family cringe when I spot some wood. "Mum, you have enough already!"
LOL! There's no such thing as "enough!" ;) All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Hi Kent. Beautiful bowl. Do you ever return to where you got the ditch wood blank and make a gift of the bowl to the original owner?
Yes, I've done that. I thought about just placing this one back on the stack by the road. ;)
I got some awesome ditch wood from a neighbor and have been thinking about making them a bowl from it. Just need to do it!
Great ditch wood bowl Kent. It kind of looks like pine to me.
Thanks. Oh, its pine indeed. Happy Turning!

Muito obrigado. Feliz Virada!
I stop and pick up wood all the time and turn it into art. #itsalwaysnicetotouchwood
Roger that! Happy Turning!
Is there a part 2 after it dried? I'd love to see the final finished bowl and anything extra that needed to be done with it :)
liked your ditch wood bowl and the hooked tool, can't find that hooked cutter in the UK it looked better for end grain then the mess I normally make
Jim, There are other hook tools around. Some are full loops as well. Happy Turning!
Could you twice turn the bowl after drying/warping? Could you do your microwave drying method?
Yes, all the same principles apply to end grain turnings, just the support grain cut direction changes. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Slide / steady your hand along the tool rest when roughing out to reduce tool jumping.
I hope you found your grub screw again.
LOL. Nope it's gone. I need another. ;) Happy Turning!
Thanks for the great tutorial. Your channel is so helpful for those quite new to turning. Just wondering how you will sand the end grain bowl now that you have turned the foot, off the lathe I guess? Thanks again, you have really helped me to learn. Phil
Thanks. Yes, sand by hand. Boring but effective. Happy Turning!
When you talk about peeling away shavings on a large scale that’s how a log is processed for plywood veneer. I make lots of small boxes using a whole branch using similar methods to what you did but on a much smaller scale
Kent, that is so interesting and turning pine besides! I have turned a couple of red pine bowls but only side grain. Watched your shellac video and am wondering if the shellac would seal off the pith area in your bowl. Noticed you said you may need to use epoxy. Thank you for another excellent video.
Thanks Geroge👍 Yes, shellac would work well. Happy Turning!
Nice Video, nice Bowl. I Hope you found the screw of the hook!
Thanks, but not likely. ;) Happy Turning!
Hi Kent. Thanks for sharing this and the education. Beautiful results from this end grain turning. How did you finish this piece? And how soon after turning as it needed to dry. I am not sure if a finish slows down the drying process and therefore reduces the chances of cracks!
Great question. I have not finished it yet as it still needs to dry. A danish oil can be applied while the wood is moist and it will slow the drying process. Later a final finish can be added. Happy Turning!
I really gotta get my lathe set up.
Oh yeah! You're going to have a blast! Happy Turning!
wow👍
Thank you! ;) Happy Turning!
Great video Kent, and as usual your explanation is first rate. Q? I notice that Eastern European turners hook tool cuts on the far side of the piece with the cutting edge down, not the near side whilst the rotation is still forward. Have you tried this was? Stay safe, John
Oh yes, there are many different knife configurations. Have you ever seen the Russian dolls being turned. They use what looks like an Exacto knife blade. The Japanese have a similar turning tool. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Kent - is the wood movement during drying more consistent, more concentric around the pith than a side grain turned bowl around it's center? It seems like getting a thinner wall is a more difficult - do you normally leave them with a thicker wall as you showed here?
Yes, the drying will pull into the center. But you need to be caution about cracking just the same as with a side grain bowl. Happy Turning!
Thanks for a great detail instructional vid. You mentioned filling the end grain at the pith centre. What material is suitable for filling? Thanks
Perhaps a 15 minute epoxy. Happy Turning!
How can you ensure that it doesn't crack to the pith with a bowl like this? For me it seems like it never matters how dry it is, it cracks all the way to the center 99% of the time.
Even wall thickness and controlled moisture release are the keys. I have an eCourse coming soon all about this. Stay tuned. Happy Turning!
thanks for that video Kent - i was wondering though how you will sand the bowl to finish it. Do you have a part 2 to the video showing the drying technique and sanding?
It will be sanded by hand. Too boring for a video. ;) Happy Turning!
As always, This was a great time watching, concrete nuance and tips. By the way, I see you are using CBN, what do you think of the Sorby system? Thx in advance
I have both. I like the ease of use for the Oneway system, probably because I trained with one. The Sorby system is equally nice, but with slightly different techniques. Happy Turning!
Wayne F Dallas , Pa. Sharpening
Thank you for entering. Happy Turning!
Hi Kent, can I ask if you a basic description of the difference between, a Bowl Gouge, and a Spindle Gouge?
You sure can! Watch this th-cam.com/video/jC95iQOtONQ/w-d-xo.html ;) Happy Turning!
I noticed that you made the tenon considerably bigger then in the tenon tutorial. Is that a special consideration for an end grain turning.
No, it's just what worked well for this turning.
at 22:45 you can see the setscrew from the hook tool fly off.
Yup. Gone! Lol
Hi Kent. Great video. Wondering if you found the set screw that dropped out of your hook tool? At 22:46 you can see it turned up and almost out.
Anyone got some set screws I could buy? ;) Happy Turning!
Hello Kent, I'm John and an avid woodworker. I'm not a youngster, 56 and I have acquired most of the toys of the trade but I still have problems with bowls drying and splitting. I use mostly hardwoods, oak, maple and the likes. Any tips?? Thanks. I enjoy watching your tutorials.
Thank you for writing and sharing! The whole process of drying and cracking is a massive subject and,. as luck would have, I'm working on an online eCourse all about the subject right now. Stay tuned. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Is the drying time and technique for a end grain bowl roughly similar to a side grain bowl? I would think think the end grain bowl might dry quicker.
Perhaps, but all the other factors are most important; moisture content, humidity, temperature, etc.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you. Happy Turning!
Hi, I really enjoy your videos.
I have been given some Sycamore blanks, freshly cut, but only 3 - 4 inches deep. So I want "end cut" them. I seen in another video someone using a mix of sanding sealer and acetone to dry out the bowl after turnin, before placing in brown paper bag for a couple of weeks to dry out! Do you think this would help to prevent the Piff from cracking?
Thanks again for you very informative videos.
I recommend experimenting with one or two and see what works first. This will give you a good idea how to move forward. Happy Turning!
