Beautiful bowl. I recently did a video for our club since we cannot meet and had a situation where I had to redo a piece. I asked the person putting it up on youtube to cut section out before posting but he could did not and I've had a number of responses in appreciation for leaving the couple minutes in. I guess it is encouraging for others to see our mistakes. On your vacuum chuck leaving a ring inside the bowl - I've had the same issue/frustration. I've started putting a double layer of clear plastic wrap over the chuck. I hold it on with a rubber band then cut an X slit to allow the air through. This has helped eliminate/reduce the ring inside the bowl. Thanks for the great video.
Beautiful bowl! I am not a turner but have worked with ebony and mesquite. They are similar species and have dense, hard, and brittle wood. The heartwood and sapwood make nice contrast as is seen in your bowl. The biggest challenge I have had with these woods is that the grain is always twisting and moving around making it difficult to plane, resulting in a lot of tear out and chipping. I normally end up working the piece as best as I can and then sanding down to finished dimension to remove the scars. With that in mind, I am impressed with your lathe work and your result with this ebony. A penetrating finish, like yours, really brings out the dark beauty of these woods. Again, nice job!
Carl, I enjoyed meeting you at the Woodcraft store in Seattle long before the distancing lockdown. You were warm, friendly, inviting and kind. Not pretentious by even a hint. A true gentleman. Your parents and Mrs. Jacobson must surely be proud!
I turned an acacia crotch bowl a couple years back. I left the live edge and finished it with shellac. Turned out great, love the live edge and the high polish on the shellac really makes the grain pop. Nice job on the turning and thanks for showing us the vacuum chuck.
It’s a stunning bowl Carl and what amazed me was when you cut the blank before turning it on the lathe was the amazing sheen of the blank. Incredible. Great video mate 👍🏼👍🏼
The sap wood on Texas Ebony is amazing. I have done some pieces of only sap wood. When sanded to a tiny grit, it starts to look like mother of pearl. It's one of my favorite woods to work.
btw In my region -north of mexico- we have some local ebony. I wonder if this is the same species just called diferent 🤔. The outside is orange-ish and at the center is a really dark brown. And yes its a hard wood XD
I'm just watching random videos and hand sewing a quilt when yours popped up.....loved the bowl but REALLY enjoyed your music track. Thank you for giving me new artists and songs to add to my iTunes. Very mellow.👍
Nice Bowl. I think that you could do a cool video of just talking about what was your thought process and the steps that you took to remount the piece after it broke off. That has happened to me in different stages of the process and sometimes struggle to find a way to mount it again safely and as centered as possible to do another tenon. Thanks, Juan
Oh heavens, the turning masters are human after all. Two days in a row, my favorite TH-cam woodturners, have had design change opportunities with their projects! Great job. Thanks for video and stay well.
Hi Carl - thank you for showing how and why your tennon broke and how you reacted to it. I sometimes have a tough time staying patient when I can’t keep a stiff tennon or mortise and it’s important to remember that it happens to everyone!
Carl Jacobson; We are doing great, I guess. It is a lot of work keeping kids busy in these special times. I just receive 16 pounds of resin from TurnTex, so I will be trying to do some wood/resin hybrid bowls. Fun stuff. I am ever inspired by the work you do. You keep me busy just trying to replicate some of your designs concepts in my work.
Wow the contrast between the colors is amazing. I have a piece of olive wood that is the same shape and size. Now I've got a pretty good idea of how to turn it. Thank you for a great video Carl! - Ed
Beautiful piece of wood Carl. I love a lot of the wood that comes out of Arizona. Many have such great color and figure. And you did quite well by this piece. Too bad about the failed tenon. But good recovery and it finished quite well. Thank you for sharing and stay healthy.
Just got my American Beauty last week. Absolutely love it. But I also had a bowl come off twice. I use a mortise but out of balance is real. Finished it and gave it to my brother as the 1st bowl turned on the new lathe.
Fantastic piece of timber lovely contrast between light and dark, all ways the way camera of when drama happens. Enjoyed the music as well. keep up the good work it lifts everyone's sprites in troubled times both in England and the USA.

Very cool piece. The wood is amazing.

Looks like it fought you to the bitter end! Turned out beautiful!
It was a tuff one!! Thanks brother!!
The heartwood is hard but the sapwood is soft...or at least softer....probably why it broke.....absolutely beautiful !!!
Thank you! Exactly!
It’s a stunning bowl Carl and what amazed me was when you cut the blank before turning it on the lathe was the amazing sheen of the blank. Incredible. Great video mate 👍🏼👍🏼

@@Srt3D01-db-01 It's probably the same species. The sap wood is a little orange.
I love the colors of this wood. Even if it chipped off some when it fell, I am amazed at how it turned out. Very beautiful.
Thank you so much Jessica!!
The contrast between the light and dark is stunning, great craftsmanship and finish!!

Glad it helped Patrick!! You're right, it happens to everyone :)
I love how you were able to keep a good mix of sap wood in the bowl. The contrast is special. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you Buddy! How are you guys doing?
