Oh Erik, you have done it again. I have a friend who had a dead Aussie cedar tree which he cut down for furniture wood,. he ruined a saw blade on it because because it had grown a round a bomb. Yes a real small bomb.
Wow that is insane. I cut through a hidden 45 cal. bullet once on the tablesaw. You never know what you might find. Once in some Beautiful Walnut I hit several nails from where a clothesline or some such thing had been nailed. Much love to Australia and your family. Hope everyone is doing well.
I have used them but returned them because I did not like the finish they left. I can get a better finishing cut with traditional tools. I might use a carbide tool in the future for roughing or for inside of a canisters as a scraper. Carbide tools are all scrapers and I like cutters.
You really should use a metal lathe for turning steel like that Erik. LOL! What an unfortunate surprise, I thought it was a knot or a crack when I first heard the ticking sound. That must have done quite a number on your tools. It turned out very nice in the end. I have a stick of Mahogany that is only 3/4 X 3 1/2 so no way to make something like this. I think I'll cut it up and include it in a segmented project. I love the "Fire" that Mahogany gives when finished. Nice job as usual Erik. May we have more please?
Thank you Gil. The tool I was using is very hard and did not get a very bad nick I was lucky I stopped right away. The fire in Mahogany is amazing, hope your piece provides some fire to a nice segmented piece.
Safety first boys and girls. You should turn between centers when roughing out like this and not at 1200rpms but slower, once it’s round and balance you can turn up the speed.
Good idea Bill especially if you are a new turner. In my defense I did have it securely mounted to my face plate with six high quality screws while balancing and roughing. I wanted to be ready to make the mortice on the end for my scrolling jaw chuck so I did not feel the need to bring in my tailstock because this is a tiny bowl which as I said before was very well held to the faceplate with long screws. The exciting part was that in the center of the glueup that I got from a window and door shop was the 1/4 crown staple. Thank you for the comment and I should have pointed out why I did not bring in the tailstock like I would normally do on a larger piece.
Eric, great video as always. I have a trend and was having the same issue. 2 things to check - I got a replacement battery but still had issues. I opened up the top and found debris in the fan. I cleaned it out and been working great every since. Thanks for sharing your work.
All kinds of things, Sell, gift, use, abuse, set aside for future sales or gifting. Right now I have lots of bowls and platters that I need to market or take to a sidewalk sale or commission store. Thanks for asking
E, I have meant to ask you, sir: have you ever worked with that very hard African wood called babenga (spelling?)...? It's a greyish to olive dark wood as I remember and quite dense... Arthur
Erik, nice bowl. Question for you: I was always told not to use a roughing spindle gouge on a bowl as it might contact end grain and snap the tang. Was that not an issue here because it was a glued up block?
Very nice turn. I have only turned mahogany once but plan to turn more. SAFE TURNING, John
Thanks John!

Erik,great job. I to turn a lot of glue ups so I use carbide cutters. My I ask why I never see you use theme.

Very nice end product. Nails can be a bitch on tools.
Thanks and yes they can
Another excellent piece, Erik! Such beautiful colors in that wood.
Thank you Carter and Son Toolworks I really appreciate that!
5 star performance Erik!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😃😃😃😃😃
Thank you Allan
Well done. When I can't be turning myself, I like to watch what you are doing. Thanks for the inspiration you provide.
Thank you Johnnie
Beautifully simple and it looks like it has amber flecks that make it glow, gorgeous!
Thanks Keltoi African Mahogany has so much fire

Erik, what do you do with the pieces after you finish them?
All kinds of things, Sell, gift, use, abuse, set aside for future sales or gifting. Right now I have lots of bowls and platters that I need to market or take to a sidewalk sale or commission store. Thanks for asking
Erik Anderson ah that makes sense tbf, thanks for replying 😁
Miss seeing your videos regularly on TH-cam.
Beautiful bowl and I love to watch you turn.
Thanks I have been busy and it is hard to shoot videos when I have very little extra time to do so.
Beautiful.
Thanks

babenga (spelling?)...? It's a greyish to olive dark wood as I remember and quite dense... Arthur
Bubinga and yes I have i had a very small piece of it that I turned into a pen and it was brittle and hard as heck but polished up beautifully!
Thank you for master class, Erik, and the usual GREAT WORK... Arthur B...
ps/very delicate... a goblet?
Thanks Arthur I gave this to my granddaughters for some of their art pens and pencils
Nice looking wood. Way to hang in there and not give up on it.
Turned out very nice.
Thanks The Papa

Beautiful, as always, Erik...love the glow of the mahogany!
Thank you Carol me too!
Erik, nice bowl. Question for you: I was always told not to use a roughing spindle gouge on a bowl as it might contact end grain and snap the tang. Was that not an issue here because it was a glued up block?
On the outside it is just a large spindle but on the inside of a bowl it is a real no no!
Nice bowl Erik..great recovery with that nice little surprise wedged inside the wood.
Thank you Fifi
