Woodturning Some of the Prettiest Maple I Have Ever Seen!

- A few weeks ago, I had a load of logs delivered to the shop & in the pile were three maple logs covered in knots & burls. Little did I realize this would probably be some of the prettiest wood I have turned since the flaming box elder from a few weeks ago...

When watching a turning video it is comforting to listen to good music. Great bowl.
Yep, that turned out beautifully.
I appreciate that! Its hard to mess up with wood as pretty as that maple
Beautiful piece; a work of art. I had the good fortune to have some Maple like that and you just can't beat the grain. You are a true artisan, thanks for sharing.
Glad I found your channel. I'm a fan.
I appreciate the kind words! This was the first time I have ever been lucky enough to get a log of maple like this. It is absolutely beautiful! I appreciate ya taking the time to watch & comment as well!
Just beautiful. The wood and the organic shape you created.
Thank you very much!
That is an awesome looking piece! Beautiful work!
Nice and thin for its size, LOVE IT!!!
Thanks! I decided to go on the thinner side this time & I am glad I did
Beautiful. The wood is gorgeous. The size is fabulous. Your work is spot on. The finish is just right. Way to go!
I appreciate the very kind words Doug!
Beautiful bowl. Amazing grain.
I’m super jealous of all the lumber in your yard though. I’ve gotta make friends with a tree service. 😂
I HIGHLY recommend making some calls! Was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Landscapers & arborist will be your best friends when it comes to logs lol
WOW...........
My reaction putting that finish on it!
Love your channel and the scale of the pieces
Thank you for the kind words!
I wish I could find logs that big in Phoenix!
North Carolina trees are definitely a blessing for wood turners here!
@jrclark22 I was just thinking the same thing since I’m also living in Phoenix (unfortunately? Well, as far as felled trees/ finding lumber like this goes).
I never watch this kind of content and am not a wood turner myself, so, I hope this video coming up in my recommended means it’s getting pushed by the algo, bc finding it was fantastic! Watching this was so satisfying, and the finished piece is absolutely gorgeous. Easy, eaaaasy new sub.
I appreciate the very kind words & also subscribing!
Wonderful work Andrew
Thank you Robert!
This is a stunning piece of wood....WOW! I love everything about this bowl. Great video!
Thank you!! I was expecting pretty wood when I cut it up but nothing like this. I was thrilled once that oil started going on there.
@andrewmccarn I saw when you poured the water on it that it was going to be an extraordinary beautiful bowl.
The oil made everything pop. Again, great job!
Wunderschönes Stück ! Gut hast Du es nur geölt. Viele Drechsler machen einfach zu viel des guten. Holz muss nicht Poliert werden. Vor allem nicht wenn es so schön wie dieses ist. Die Form ist schlicht und schön! Weiter so !
Hi Andrew! Not only is this bowl huge, but the wood is spectacular!!! Is it possible for you to talk more during your turning though? Please
Thank you Lori! As of now, my plan is to post videos that vary on the amount of talking. Some will have none, some will have some moments like this & then there will be ones like todays post where it is mostly talking. So it will just depend on what the video is about but also if there is anything specific in a video that doesn't have much talking but something you would like to know, dont hesitate to ask!
Well done
Thanks Scott!
Nice work. I have a Laguna lathe at my place also. 1216 but im new to turning. But you’re doing some awesome stuff.
Thats exciting! One of the best choices I ever made was getting into wood turning so have fun with it!
Beautiful! Love turning maple lots of wonderful surprises in every log.
Thats one of the main reasons I love turning maple, you never know how itll look
Beautiful wood, beautiful work - pleasure to watch! It really soaked that oil up at the end!
Yes it did! Had to do few coats on this one and may go back and do a few more lol
That is a beautiful bowl. Great work, can’t wait to see you turn more. Scott
Thanks Scott! I'm anxious to get some more cut up & back on the lathe already
Wow that's absolutely beautiful.
Thank you!
What a huge live edge bowl! It's so beautiful!👍👍
Fantastic piece, beautiful piece of wood and a stunning looking bowl 😊
Thank you for the kind words!
I'd think a lot of people would like to have one like that. I would.
It should be available on my website in the next few weeks!
This bowl is stunning! You did an excellent job on it. Thank you for showcasing our Half & Half!
Thank you for watching! That oil really help that grain pop!
@@andrewmccarn It really did!!
what a great haul, and as usual, you skill and eye are without compare. Way to go Andrew!
I really do appreciate that! I have to say the maple did all the heavy lifting here.
@@andrewmccarn did it move a lot after you finished it up? I am seeing massive distortions in my larger greenwood turnings this time of year... my 22" fruit bowl almost looks like a massive taco now... 😞
I know you have to sell it but I wish we could keep it! Haha
Christmas is right around the corner.... lol
@@andrewmccarn sad but true haha
Awesome work, brother! Well done!!! Thats gorgeous work!
Stunning piece and amazing wood. Thanks for sharing.
I accidentally came across woodturning recently & l must say it's fascinating & now watch all the time & really enjoy ur big bowls & this pretty maple didn’t disappoint, it's lovely 😊
I am glad you came across it & thank you for watching!
This looks so cool. Looking forward to this build. 😃😃
Love the finish. Gorgeous work!!❤
Nice camera movement in your production, Andrew. Really quality work on both your videography and turning. And what a dramatic finish application! Great work.
I appreciate that! Been trying out a few new things here lately with my videography so glad to know its being noticed!
Love your large bowls! Do you sell them as functional or art? What are you finishing with?
Thank you! I do a mixture of both. The majority of them can be used but some are more decorative. I mostly finish my pieces with tung oil or danish oil, it just depends how I am feeling that day lol
Wow! Fresh cut maple is kinda boring, it's amazing how much character it picks up just sitting out in the weather for awhile. Plus all the burls and knots, great project. How are you liking the Laguna lathe, any issues or problems that you've had to deal with? I'm thinking of upgrading myself.
I agree & maple has to be one of my more favorite woods to work with. You really never know what it will look like until you cut into it. So far I love the laguna & highly recommend it! My only thing is if you can upgrade to the 220 version then that is what I would do but so far the 110 has handled everything I have thrown at it with ease.
GDAY MATE cricky that's all most as good looking as my wife, natural edge deep bowl just love,keep the dream alive Andrew. Ernie smith from brisbane Australia Aussie Aussie Aussie 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Ernie this comment made my day! I cracked up at this. Thank ya for that!
What's the use of having a big lathe if you don't use it to turn big pieces? Well done 👍
Exactly! & thank you!
Absolutely beautiful natural edge bowl. About what size is it?
Thank you! This one came out around 16" x 8" at the tallest point
Nicely done. 2 questions for you.
What brand and size bowl gouge do you use?
Do you have any problems not using the tailstock for support on the inside?
Thank ya! I use the Carter & Sons 5/8s bowl gouge with a Trent Bosch handle & not really. I rarely use the tailstock unless I absolutely have too like if a piece is too unstable or sticks out over the bed too much but usually I dont.
How long are you drying the green turned bowls out before finishing? Ima bout to get an 18/36 and bed extension. Thought hard about the 24/36 but dang $$$
I typically try to let them sit for atleast 4 weeks but they usually sit longer as I get busy doing other things lol I highly recommend the extension. I have loved using it. If you can get the 24/36 then Id say go for it! Wouldve been my choice but I only have 110v in my shop lol
Andrew do you get your logs from a lubmber yard?
I typically call around to arborist & landscapers in the area to see if they sell any logs they cut down. Have made some good connections that way! Also I will check out facebook market place every so often.
