It's so nice just because it has a lot of imperfections. Nowadays people try to get it perfectly round, perfectly straight and so on, but the true pleasure of working is in this kind of things. Very nice job
If you read Jean Auel's book 'The Valley of Horses' there is a part where Ayla decides she needs to make bowls. She makes them with her hand axe and smooths them with river sand. I imagine they look like this.
nicely done. I'm a turner but I do make carved bowls too. I'd like to add one point of caution. those speedcutters especially the ones that are basically chainsaws on a wheel, have been responsible for some TERRIFIC injuries. They look so easy to use, but if you let it get away from you just slightly, they can really mangle whatever they touch. I've used a chainsaw for 50 years, and that is different. They are dangerous for sure, but you have bakes on moderns chainsaws, plus the cutter is further from you and more mass so it doesn't kick quite so quickly as a hand held grinder. In general the grinder works very well and can make you forget that at all times you keep BOTH hands on the tool.
Hi Paul, thank you. Yes I totally agree when using the cuter it need to be held tight with both hands. It can kick back very easily so you need to be concentrating fully when using it.
@joe blow vibration can really mess with your nerves haha. Some tools I’ve used have made my arms burn and tingle but never that fast, you prob just need to do it more often and get used to it.
I'm so glad you decided to use the natural shape for your caving. It is most attractive than a perfect circle. Great result and great video. Thank you for posting.
I recently got a wood carving disc for my angle grinder and a world of opportunities opened up before me as I saw what it could do. I live in the country so getting hold of a chunk of wood like this is relatively simple. Thankyou. you've inspired me to create.
That Ash wood cookie dried perfectly. I have a 14"x3" arbutus wood cookie I've been drying for a half year now that I had taken from a firewood stump, so one side was already seasoned and finely checked on that exposed end. I coated the cut end with wood glue and hopefully it dries out nicely and doesn't crack up on that side since I'm planning on using it for the seat of a stool.
@@EamonWalshDIY It's gonna be a bit of a challenge since I've never tried something like this plus I'm gonna do an epoxy pour on it to preserve the natural wood color of the arbutus.

Quick question: what attachment were you using to sand the bowl, particularly the inside? Or, what drill or angle grinder attachments would you suggest? Thank you!
Last time I used something along these lines, it yanked me across the log. It was one of those chainsaw pieces that connects to an angle grinder. Dumb be touched the log across the grain. Chain bit into the log and yanked me hard. ;)
I used an angle grinder with a 'Graff Speedcutter' (be very very careful while using this they are dangerous) I then used a flap disc to smooth it out.
Hi Justin, using smaller pieces and gluing would definitely reduce the chance of cracking or splitting. They are only 4 years old so I will have to get back to you in 10 years to see what they look like.
Hi Micael, I only made two bowls with the blade but I reckon I could have made many more with it. FYI if you are using the blades be very carful, they can kick back! Also ware PPE.
Out of curiosity, do you check moisture content in the wood before creating the bowl? How much time did you put into the project? It looks amazing! Great job!
Hi John, no I did not check the moisture content. The piece had been drying indoors for a little over two years before use. It only took a few hours to complete once I got the hang of the cutter.
Thank you. Yeah that sounds like the one I used. It can be scary at first but you can the hang of it.

I never got the chance to find out. There was an an accident with a football! I repaired it though. You can see the results on my Instagram page. If the wood is very very well seasoned before carving and then oiled straight after it would defiantly reduce the chances of it splitting.
I'm new to this. Nice video! Curious wouldn't it be easier and quicker to use a chainsaw to cut a grid and chisel out chunks then use the angle grinder? I ask because of this but also to take some work off of cutting wheel to get more uses from it?
That is one of coolest things I've watched on TH-cam. Awesome job.
Thank you so much Mark.

Nice eamon still see you doing creative work God bless

How long does the wood need to dry before making bowl? Thanks!
It depends on the type of wood and where its drying Donna. This ash had been drying in a shed for a little over 2 years.
Très beau travail. Merci pour cette vidéo intéressante. 🙏
Merci beaucoup
Como pido ese primer disco?
My understanding, we glue lathes together to prevent the wood from warping or cracking. How does your bowls look after 10-20 years?
Hi Justin, using smaller pieces and gluing would definitely reduce the chance of cracking or splitting. They are only 4 years old so I will have to get back to you in 10 years to see what they look like.
Can you list down the equiptment you used in the next video you make. I keep rewinding but it's a little too fast for me.
You will find some of them here. www.instructables.com/member/eamonwalshdiy/
How many bowls can you make per carving blade ? ❤
Hi Micael, I only made two bowls with the blade but I reckon I could have made many more with it. FYI if you are using the blades be very carful, they can kick back! Also ware PPE.

Does the pith eventually crack bad? Does the oil stop it from cracking? I've done smaller pieces and oil seems to prevent cracking.

Awesome video... Do you think the crack at the bottom will expand?
Thanks Alan, if you have a look at my instagram you see what became of it.
Is this a type of wood that's not prone to checking?!? Because I can't imagine that it didn't. Or was it super dry?
Hi David. The wood is Ash and it had been drying for a few years before use.
Excellent
Thank you,
Which grinder disc is that ??

Great job! What grit flap disc did you use?
Thank you, I think it was 80 grit.
How long did this take real time? I just got a wood carving disc and Im really excited to make one
It took a few hours once you get used to using the disc. They can be very dangerous to use so be very careful and use all ppe
Looks beautiful 👌👌this graff speed cutter does not require sharpening ?
Thank you very much. To be honest I dont know! I have just used it a few times and its still sharp.

thats badass man i like the idea for sure i have a lathe its fun but this takes more skill i think

Please list all the tools
its not water right right?
Hi, No its is not water tight but if you needed it water tight you could always epoxy coat it.
Wow, what did u use to sand, please?
Hi Boris, I used a flap disc for the main sanding and then a lot of hand sanding!
Nicely done! May i ask- what was the thickness of stump you used? Looks about 12-14 inches? Thx
Superb.👌👌👌
Thank you !!!
اسم ابزارایی که استفاده کردید چیه
I use a speedcutter from Graff. It attaches to an angle grinder and carves the wood away. Be very careful if using such tools.
