Coring A Cherry Log

Using the Kel-McNaughton system to get more than one bowl out of a log half. The inner bowls are smaller, but are of more value than shavings on the compost pile.
This is my way of doing this process and is not the only way of coring, much less the only way to use this system. This video is not meant for instruction or education. This video is a record of my journey and a demonstration of how I do things. Please, if there is anything I do that does not feel safe or causes to feel nervous, don’t do it. You take responsibility of your own actions.

I am very new to the world of woodturning and mainly know it from youtube videos but this is the first time I saw using one log for more than one time. Clearly you need a special tool but it is possible. Thank you for taking time to show it.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Yes it does take a special tool. To my knowledge there are only 3 companies that make such a system.

[@DANYMITERESTORATION]

@@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound I did listen to your explanation, I also agree that all 3 pieces were useful even the first one which was the smallest. I am new to this so I am soaking all the knowledge I can:)

Great job Doug I like seeing other ways of doing things and tools👍👍👍👍

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Thank you Scott

Hi Doug, Big lump of Cherry and a very nice coring system. Take care Doug. Cheers, Huw

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

It was a really big tree. I can probably cut 3-4 more blocks as large as this one was. Thanks for watching and responding.

[@vickiejenkinson2468]

Good idea and I also wondered about face shield. I like that you don't waste all the beautiful wood. It looks hard tho. Listening to you speak, I am not surprised to hear you're a minister! Thanks for sharing your creativity with me again. Stay safe, Vickie

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Thank you Vickie.

[@JiggsysShed]

Thanks for sharing Doug. That's a great system.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Can save a lot of money if used often. Thanks for watching.

[@MoleValleyMaker]

Great demonstration Doug! Thanks, Dave

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Thank you Dave. Much appreciated!

[@DeansWoodworking]

Great Video Thanks for Sharing!!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

+Dean's Woodworking thank you. I hope to do another coring video soon that is a good bit better. Want to represent the tool well.

[@JordanWoodwerx]

Awesome tool Doug, I need that!! Thanks Doug!!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Bruce, it’s a lot of work but can bring in $’s instead of ending up on the floor. Thanks for watching.

[@laurencebugeja4160]

Great tool Doug you will save the wood for other projects well done.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Exactly. Thanks for watching.

[@ChadEamesWoodWorks]

Thanks for the demo, Doug! I recently got the McNaughton system for the flexibility, but have only used it once - it was a little jarring, literally. Glad to see that you were able to do it smoothly - gives me hope that I'll figure it out! Great video!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Thanks for watching Chad. I believe the greatest secret is to hold the back of the handle up all the time. Message me if you have other questions.

[@stephendonathan6782]

New subscriber I really like your demonstration on coring. Thanks for sharing! Take care and GOD BLESS!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Thank you for watching Stephen. There will be more coring ahead.

[@luizzahome]

You do good work, master congratulations👍🏻👍🏻

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Thank you

[@glenndornak6410]

Great job. I know we don’t use the word “but”, but I caught you without safety glasses and face shield. See you on Wednesday.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Correct. While coring I am not at the side of the wood. So I’m out of the line of fire. No excuse though, I should have had my shield on. It is tough when doing video. I can do the up and down thing, but it really does get to be a pain. Thanks for watching.

[@amiedeangelis8915]

Excellent and informative video Mr Miller, thank you for sharing it. Gorgeous chunk of wood, any other projects with it on the cards?

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Thank you Amie. Absolutely. All 6 blanks will be turned, I hope all on camera. But at least one of the large blanks will be on camera for sure.

[@TheMessyStudio]

k down and get a coring system.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Thanks for watching Billy. What did you mean by “k”?
