Absolutely great to see you and all the bowls were beautiful I think the live edge was spot on perfect for me. there's just something about a live edge bowl that's very attractive to me. Thank you Rod for just being you your amazing. May God continue to bless you and yours with much LOVE. SEMPER FI
Gorgeous work as always Rod. I watched a fella out of canada working ambrosia maple for the first time a couple of years ago, IT is truly beautiful wood. we dont have that down here in Oklahoma nor Texas. But we do have alot of osage orange, black locust, elm & oak, so I guess i will have to make due. Blessings fred
Those are all gorgeous! The shape of the second one and the live edge on the third really speak to me somehow, though the others have lovely contrast in figure and a bright openness. Excellent work!
Those are all beautiful, Rod. Great use of the wood. Soup cooler? I've not heard that one before. Talk all you want - we'll listen. And did I detect more bags-o'-shavings?
@@zainquadri1206 A negative rake scraper has a bevel on the top and bottom, which allows a less than 90 degree approach angle to the work piece. This almost eliminates checking or catching. A proper Negative rake scraper also has a bur which allows for very fine cutting, and reduced tear out, which is why you may see shavings rather than chips flying off them at times. A regular scraper doesn't have a top side bevel.
@@RHumphrey Please can you show us a demonstration when you upload your next video... Show me what the two instruments do in super slow motion for me to understand if possible...
Absolutely beautiful! All of them! Gorgeous! As for your “soup cooler”, have you ever considered doing voice overs, narrations, emceeing, and the like? I love your speaking voice. Semper Fi!
Thanks very much, Ellen! I've thought about maybe reading some old stuff, public domain type, in videos... but never really thought about anything like you've mentioned. Not sure where I'd begin with that, really. You're very kind! Semper Fi
Yeah, it carried through from the initial checking. The good news is, it has remained closed up and actually tightened together on its own as it's drying.
Love the work you do. Thank you for your service. I was wondering how this may work. If you turn a very green bowl thin-ish (thin enough move a lot) and let it dry. I will oval-ate and crack. Dry it completely. Cast it in resin then turn it. the wood will move into and out of the finished resin bowl and the cracks will be filled with the matching colors. PS I really like the bowl with the holes and inclusion. The shape is splendid.
Rod, Thank you for the shout out and for showing my stuff! Great video! I think my favorite of the four is the second one with the void and the bark on the side! Very unique! Cheers and have a great holiday!
One of the best videos I’ve seen. No awful music. No “look at how good I am”. Just pure skill and craftsmanship with beautiful products at the end. An absolute pleasure to watch. I can only hope that I’ll be turning this well eventually.
Wow, really beautiful 🤩... I especially love the one with all the holes and crack, it's so full of character!! The grain is absolutely gorgeous and... wow, thanks for sharing
I don’t say this to be glib - I believe your work is a small manifestation of the Devine. That your skill is merely the tool that the lord utilises to demonstrate beauty. God bless you.
What a wonderful surprise with the live edge bowls. Such a fantastic example of the art being just as important, if not more than the utility. I love how you were able to make so many different pieces out of one round. Praise God for the gifts that keep on giving. Bless you 😇🙏 and thank you for sharing.
Not bad for one log at all! I very much appreciate that, when someone sends you a piece of wood, you take your time and study it before deciding how you can best put it to use.. so you can make as many beautiful and useful things out of it as possible. That level of thoughtfulness, the understanding of and respect for the raw materials that nature provides to me seems like a rare thing in today's world!
Thank you so much for the sticker, brother! I have watched you turn for a while before I even started turning. I am so thankful for the time and awesome talent you share with us. Your service to our country and to the woodturng community is greatly appreciated! God bless, Rod! 🤗🤗
Great bowls, using just about everything. You did get though, when you stopped to clean out the second one, with all the shavings sticking out I thought the rim of the bowl had splintered. LOL!
(mouth 😊) Thanks very much! The tenons were used just to do something different. Some turners prefer them, I prefer the mortise, or recess, but it's good to practice different techniques.
These are beautiful! I’ve never heard the phrase “soup cooler” but it made me giggle so much I shared your channel with my boyfriend! I’ll also be sharing your channel with my dad... a fellow Devil Dog! I have a feeling he would enjoy watching your videos while my mum is in the hospital! Take care sir! Thanks for sharing your art! ✌🏼💚
What do I use to seal the ends of a fresh cut burl to have it dry without checking and cracking? Will beeswax do the trick? My one burl came off a Maple. I left a lot a room on the log to the burl. The tree ended up being hollow so I'm not sure what the burl will look like once I start turning.
Hi Rod, A great set of bowls. My favourite is the Live Edge bowl. probably influenced by the fact I have just turned my first Live Edge bowl from a piece of laburnum I was given. I have posted the video and if you get time I would love to know what you think of it. Cheers, Huw
Nicely done Ron, love the fact that it is green wood. So much easier to turn and sand. Anything you do special to minimize shrinking and do you make the walls as thin as possible? How do the locking mechanism hold on the banjo and tool rest on your powermatic? Really want to upgrade, thanks and cheers from MT
Absolutely gorgeous. I love your working with mother nature and taking what she has to offer. And I also like it very much when youtubers network and support each other. Good to see in these special times. Thx.
My second time watching, great design and technique. Beautiful pieces. We have a huge silver maple in our yard which needs a limb removed, when that happens I have been inspired to make things out of it Thanks for doing this and for your service.
This was both an informative and enjoyable video. It was interesting and the only sound was you talking, which was so refreshing. No music. Nice. Keep up the interesting videos
I like them all! I really enjoy squeezing every bit of potential I can put of every lot as you do. Lately it has been gleaning maple stumps after the caller was long gone. Great stuff free!
Hey brother. Thanks for your service. I’m really new to turning and was wondering how soon I can turn green wood? I have been hoarding up wood from where I work. I’ve heard of cracking and movement but didn’t want to turn something to turn into trash.
If it is green wood wouldn't warp and even crap more. Wouldn't you want to dry it out to finish it. I am not sure i am a complete novice so i don't really know 100%.
What would I need to do to have you mail me a box of those lovely shavings? I don't think my preschoolers have ever held wood shavings. It would be a wonderful lesson.
As I travel thru our countryside I now dream about what stories can be found inside trees... And am having trouble figuring out whether I prefer log pieces lying as waste out there or in your shed yielding their inner beauty to our eyes with polish and grit. We waste a lot of pieces here.
Great work as always. Also very nice that someone sent you the piece to start with. Question, I thought if the wood was green you would not turn it to the finished dimension and finish it as it would most likely move?
These are beautiful. You could always fill the holes in there bigger bowl with resin, it would look beautiful with a nice red resin filling the holes...
Four beautiful bowls---but my absolute favourite has to be the little candy dish. So pretty. And the breakage on the edge only adds to its charm---as well as reminds us this is living wood. Thank you, as always, Rod. Your videos absolutely make my Fridays.

Such a wonderful start to Valentine's day. Outstanding work, and four bowls in one video! They're beautiful. Happy Valentine's day to you and your family. Semper Fidelis, Brother.
All four of those bowls turned out absolutely beautiful! You really brought out the natural beauty of the wood in all four of them. Thank you so much for sharing this 💜
Good morning, Rod. Beautiful stuff. I haven't heard "soup cooler" before. It's always been a pie hole to me, if not something less family-friendly... ;)
Outstanding work my friend! Once again, I am in complete awe. There's a very special place in my heart for ambrosia silver maple. It's right up there with spalted birch. One day I will get my hands on some spalted ambrosia! Take good care, Mr. Humphrey.
True artistry Rod by making such beautiful bowls out of a section of log. It's great and reassuring seeing the work of other turners - the craft is alive and well. Semper Fi. P.S. I didn't want to mention this before but at PI I broke the record for "The Crucible" - 4 hours and 3 minutes:-).
Thank you my friend! It is alive and well indeed, and that makes me happy too. Setting the record for the Crucible must mean you took off for the swamp and were dodging gators! Glad you made it out in one piece, LOL 🐊😂
Another awesome job................getting the most of what you have to work with is quite an accomplishment. Thanks for another lesson, Semper Fi
Excellent work ,watching your videos is very inspiring to newbies like me. Thankyou for making them.
Beautiful job on all of the bowls. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much!
I do adore your live edge work...and that cute little candy bowl! 💓
Fantastic, stunning, beautiful
Thanks very much! 😊
What a great set. Beautiful work.
Thank you very much!
The bowls are beautiful. I love how the grain came out. 👏👏👏
Amazing color beautiful well done 👍
Beautiful. I enjoy watching your mastery of the bowl gouge.
That wood is fantastic.love these works of art.thank you for sharing.Always loyal.

Thanks very much! It really is a beautiful pattern, some look just like sun bursts
Silver maple is everywhere here in OK. It's considered a invasive species. Its very soft when alive but rock hard when dead. Good job.
Those are all gorgeous! The shape of the second one and the live edge on the third really speak to me somehow, though the others have lovely contrast in figure and a bright openness. Excellent work!
Thank you very much!

Soup cooler, lol... yep. Thanks very much!

Just beautiful ✌
Thanks so much!
Love it beautify done
Thank you very much!
Beautiful work, what kind of finish do you apply ? Being that it is green wood and has a lot of moisture inside.

Cheers
Thank you! 😊
Oops number 2 with the crack
Yeah, it carried through from the initial checking. The good news is, it has remained closed up and actually tightened together on its own as it's drying.
My dad was a "lifer" in the Navy, so I thought I had heard every expression there was.... And then you give me "soup cooler". LOL
LOL 😁 thank you!

My pleasure, David! Keep making greatness!
I love how you paid homage to the wood by using so much of it. Great.
Thank you very much!
One log,many beautiful log....
Thanks for sharing....🙏
Thanks so much!
Great use of wood. Every one a masterpiece. You keep running your soup cooler all you want.

Very cool outcome. Love the colours and gives me some hints about how to deal with some offcuts I have.

Great bowls, using just about everything. You did get though, when you stopped to clean out the second one, with all the shavings sticking out I thought the rim of the bowl had splintered. LOL!
Thank you very much! That was a funny way for those shavings to stick out, had to show it 😊
(Soup cooler? ) Good looking bowls. Was there any particular reason you went with tenons rather than the mortis? mortises? morti?
(mouth 😊) Thanks very much! The tenons were used just to do something different. Some turners prefer them, I prefer the mortise, or recess, but it's good to practice different techniques.

Thanks Gary! I use a totally different part of a tree in tomorrow's video... 😊

That inclusion turned out to be a smiley face. All good Rod and keep on smiling.
Much appreciated!😊
Silver Maple that grain looks amazing Rod! Great work, keep on turning. Ou Rah!!!

what a unique piece the color change natures beauty revealed. great management of materials

"soup cooler"...🤣 That's a 1st for me.
Man... I love your videos.... Sir.
Great work as always. Also very nice that someone sent you the piece to start with. Question, I thought if the wood was green you would not turn it to the finished dimension and finish it as it would most likely move?
What a special gift God has given you to make something from His creation. These are simply lovely.
Beautiful turnings!!! Did you have a problem with them warping since it was green wood?
I would not have been able to resist drying that long and going for some end grain pieces. Would have avoided turning all that ambrosia figure away.
Not a wood worker myself..but look forward to seeing what you create..love every bowl you created today..waiting for more😊
These are beautiful. You could always fill the holes in there bigger bowl with resin, it would look beautiful with a nice red resin filling the holes...

How do I send pictures of my work to you. I just started recently and your videos have helped me a lot.
Amo ver seu trabalho.
Muito satisfatório 😍😍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Super turning once again. Love watching you videos in relation to the skill and technique.
Your band saw is way more effective than mine. What type of blade are you using?
Such a wonderful start to Valentine's day. Outstanding work, and four bowls in one video! They're beautiful.
Happy Valentine's day to you and your family. Semper Fidelis, Brother.
Oo-Rah! Thank you, brother!
Good eye in cutting that log Rod👀 You made some nice unique bowls with plenty of character 🎨 -Mike
Thanks so much, Mike!
So you know how wet the log was when you started turning it. Did the pieces warp at all after?
Dang!!! Those are all spiffy. Especially the one with the crack and hole. That natural edge hole adds a lot of pizzazz.
Thanks very much! 😊
Rod, these are awesome! Well done. And, thank you for the mention!
All four of those bowls turned out absolutely beautiful! You really brought out the natural beauty of the wood in all four of them. Thank you so much for sharing this 💜
Thank you very much!
Auction that bowl off for your fellow buddies and USA's heros?
Beautiful work as always!!! We wouldn't expect any less, no matter what kind of wood you get your hands on it turns into a work of art.
Much appreciated!
Good morning, Rod. Beautiful stuff. I haven't heard "soup cooler" before. It's always been a pie hole to me, if not something less family-friendly... ;)
lol... one of many, pie hole works too! Thank you!
Stunning work as always buddy, you are rocking that new lathe in style!
Thanks very much! 😊
Beautiful, very very Beautiful. Wish I could see this art of skill to buy.
Thank you very much!
You have a God given talent! Beautiful work Very entertaining.
"My soup cooler." That's a new one. Ha ha.
😁
I'm just learning how to use my lathe. I'm looking forward to making stuff like this. Great work, they are beautiful 👍
Thank you very much! Have fun, and don't even try to not get addicted to turning, lol!
Wish I knew your first name. You always impress me with what you turn out.
Outstanding work my friend! Once again, I am in complete awe. There's a very special place in my heart for ambrosia silver maple. It's right up there with spalted birch. One day I will get my hands on some spalted ambrosia! Take good care, Mr. Humphrey.
Thank you very much!
You are not only highly skilled, but also a man of big heart. Thank you.
Beautiful bowels, never heard the term (soup cooler).
Great work and AWESOME peices!!!👍
Great work all around. You ever considered getting one of those bowl coring tools to make nesting bowls out of the same log?
Thats what I was thinking too. Lo e your work.
I dont know what happend to my v. LOL
I've thought about it, but have yet to get one... Thank you!
LOL 😁
