It is so good to watch someone who has such skill and understanding working on a project. Explaining as you go. The proof of your knowledge is watching the sharpness of your tools and techniques to get to pristine crisp final finishes. You are not pressuring or forcing the tools to cut but getting excellent shearing type shavings coming off. And at the end having to use very little sanding. You are one I look to in my own learning process. Thank you for sharing.
Your voice over was very clear. I had no trouble understanding. I am doing black walnut bowls and on 2 I had trouble with the bark coming off. I was going to use linseed oil and beeswax mix for the finish. Your bowl is beautiful.
Tremendous bowl Tommi. Loved the voice over, but there is nothing wrong with your normal videos either.. I’ve also found that leaving a piece of wood in a bag for 6 to 9 months really does make the spalting work well. Particularly on paler woods. Thanks Tommi.
I agree, such a beautiful bowl. I always like hearing about the process and reasoning as you turn. Now I am turning myself I can relate to it much more, and pick out finer details to improve on.
That is beautiful wood! I've seen people try to recreate a bark-like look by burning the edge of the bowl with a torch. The natural curves of the edge add character without the bark or color. As always, I appreciate your hints and educational comments as you turn because I am that beginner you're talking about!
When you mentioned about the fungus creating the spalting it reminded me of something I've always wanted to try. I read an article in an old Australian wood worker magazine my father used to collect, memory's foggy on it but in short they buried a burl in a plastic bag partially filled yogurt enough to cover the whole burl once closed up, and left it buried for so many weeks. That brought out some amazing coloring throughout grain on the bowl in the end.
Spalting is simple. Introduce the spalt fungus via chips and shavings, create any composting environment. This can be as simple as burying a piece of wood in a woodchip pile and cover it with grass clippings and don't let it get too dry. Green grass clippings will speed up the process faster than anything else. If possible, rotate your wood every 2-4 weeks. Great video. Thanks.
What a beautiful piece of elm and a gorgeous bowl. I loved this format, and I also love hearing the lathe and the tools cut/scrape the wood. This was very informative. Thank you.
I’m finding a bunch of dead elm trees on my wooded property. They have all pretty much shed every bit of their bark. Apparently a characteristic of elm. Cross grain bowls show neat almost geometric fine grain moire like patterns. Great firewood and super clean without the bark, but thought to be harder to split.
You do a fantastic job describing tool techniques. Would love to see some videos where you really focus on those details - handle orientation, start of cut, tool path, tool rotation, etc.
That's a lovely bowl. Very nice instructive video. I think the format will work well for some videos, but there's also something nice about a running commentary with live 'design opportunities. I do like a good bit of elm, always makes me think of George Lailey. Thanks for another educational and entertaining video.
Thanks Tomislav. Nice bowl. Recently I worked some spalted beech and really enjoyed all the colors from the spalting. Except for the smell. That I don't like. 🫢
As usual, beautiful work and great tips as well. I have a log of spalted water oak that is just right for turning. I will use some of the tips from this video to try and improve my surface finish for less sanding. Thanks for the great vid.
Great video buddy. I like the format and it's how I generally like to do my videos. I don't say a whole lot as I'm turning so I like to fill the void with the voice over. I'm watching on my phone with no headphones and your audio sounds great. I'll see how it sounds tonight on my TV. I watch TH-cam those twobways.
That's a gorgeous chunk of wood and a masterful job of turning. I don't know how you tolerate those wet shavings hitting your hand. I have gloves where hot shavings have actually worn ragged spots.
Great video and great result. As you asking thoughts on voice: You clearly need to drink more coffee in between your explanations. Don't forget to lubricate your vocal cords!
It was so beautiful. Your hands have a great control sir. Seeing that continuous moves were just fantastic. I'm planning to buy a lethe and start woodturning soon! Thanks for this beautiful video. Just subbed!
Your bowl has handsome figure and shape. I like the natural edge and enjoy turning them when the blanks permit. I have not heard of your "homemade spalting" method and I'll try when I get some green wood. The oil finish looks good on this piece. I'm in rut; I usually use shellac and/or wipe-on polyurethane. I need to try some better oil finish products.
Thank you sir for kind words. Poly and shellac are great finish but I would use those on stuff like pepper mill, boxes,urns , for bowls me personally find oils to be more frendly
Tomi (if I might call you that), this bowl is beautiful and what is amazing is that it came from what most would consider a piece of firewood. I've watched a lot of your videos lately and I find that your method of teaching is much better for me. I am brand new to wood turning and just bought my first entry lathe. It is a small lathe and was made by an Austrian company called Fisch. The model is TC90-100 The swing is only 5 inches sho I am very limited in what I can make BUT as I get tools, I think I can try to make what you make on your big machine - only my pieces will be small. Regarding the microwave to dry out wood - do you have a video on that - one that won't get me in trouble with my wife?
Thank you sir soo much,glad my videos help out, that is reason I do this. Learning on small lathe and then step up if there is a need is a great way to start. Please,stay away from microwave from the kitchen. Otherwise you might sleep in workshop 😂😂😂 Just find old one that works and I don't have video on it but I use it only for thin wet stuff I turn to dry it out fast.... although with moving and shop building, now tools and orders I haven't got any logs to play around with wet wood. I think Richard has a video on process but Its simple,I use highest setting on 1 to 2minutes intervals letting it cool down in between ,sometimes just one session is enough, sometimes few. And never,never put wood in and leave...always have eye on the microwave if maybe something is wrong or similar. Again I just use it for thin stuff
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning I have one more question. I want to thank you for all the videos you've made and the knowledge you've shared with everyone. I went to your website to buy a piece of your work but couldn't find any. Then I saw the refiner scraper and thought it would be better if I bought that. However, Tomi, I cannot find a way to purchase it. Can you point me in the right direction so I can place an order for the refiner scraper?
@darrylcrum2495 in 2 days tools will be ready for order. And after launching my tools I'll post also some of my work,so there will be something for everyone 😃
I never get tired of seeing what hides inside the wood! Would love to know your ongoing thoughts about pricing and sizes. You did an entire video on it a few months back and it was very helpful. What would you typically sell a piece like this one for? Love the voiceover btw!!
Fantástico trabajo y muy didáctico en tus explicaciones. Gracias por todo. Fantastic work and very didactic in your explanations. Thanks for everything
Nice Elm live edge bowl. I have many things in common with your methods of work. I'd like to add my opinion so you get a little feedback on the new dubbed format. I know you can add things you may not have thought of afterwards to cover certain aspects of your the process, but generally I prefer a more natural and spontaneous talking as you go approach, or full on live demos.
@rogertulk8607 I am 72 and I know what you mean…plus I am a woman so the odds are against me. My father had a lathe. We sold it when he died 40 yrs ago, but now I wish I had known how great learning to turn would have been
I've finally started turning some of my elm blanks, and it seems to be one of the harder wood or timber as you call it. Did you notice it as well ? Maybe it's dulling my tools quicker and just seemed like it's harder. I heard you say that wood is wet, will it warp ? Sorry I hadn't finished watching the video whenever I asked about the warping. I'll email you some pictures of the elm live edge bowls I made, nothing as good as yours,but I'm just starting, learning from you, it's started out as a hobby but now it's becoming a passion
This elm that I have its hard but even worse as it has some minerals in it that dulls the tools faster.... You might have same case, just sharpen more and you'll be ok😉 I have seen pictures,good job on it
I do usually but this elm really doesn't wanna warp as much....so this one is quite good but if it was warped I just put some 240 on the flat surface and pull the bowl a few times👍,that usually takes care of that...
Nice bowl. I'm assuming that you would have removed the tail stock and rotated the bowl on the temporary mortice to align the high and low points of the natural edge. I'll give that a go as doing it with the full weight on alive centre is a pain to move 1mm. Hopefully my standard jaws should be long enough.
Iam new to wood turning and had to turn some pieces for an old vitorian safe restauration. Got me hooked up on woodturning and you are an amazing crafsman. What oil would you recomend for salad bowls? That is food safe ofcourse. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Hi Well anything 'food safe' that is available to you. My personal preference is pure Tung oil with citrus solvent (orange Peel solvent,food grade) Works and smells beautiful
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thank you so much for the fast anser. I have searched for tung oil with citrus but can't find it. If you could share a name or brand. Thanks again.
Nice video, learnt a lot in this one, thanks, especially on how to introduce the spalting by using a plastic bag on the green wood. Do you keep checking it every now and then to see how the effect is progressing? Thanks again Tomislav.
I have watch lots of videos of yours but never cought the name of the oil/wax you use, please can you inform me so I can get some. love your work and the way you explain all you do and why. Thanks mate
Спасибо, Томислав! Очень люблю вяз, прекрасная древесина. И видео очень информативно, спасибо. Ты в данном случае точишь не совсем сухую древесину. Сушка в микроволновке наверняка приведёт к движению древесины? Для чаши с живым краем это не особенно актуально, форма скроет все деформации. Но ведь на стандартной утилитарной чаше это будет очень видно?
Yes, using microwave will most likely distort the 'regular' bowl but that is usually something I want.... You can put rough out bowl in microwave as well but be carefull how you use it as it can make cracks and Splits if you are not carefull
Great video, as always! Did I understand correctly that the spalting was only from the months you kept it in the bag, or was there some already visible when you were cutting the blanks? The reason I ask is that I have had a hard time getting spalting after processing a log into parts and have relied on leaving longer sections, in the round, outside to get the effect I am looking for. Of course, the problem is that it is very difficult to control (or know) the rate that the fungus is working and avoid letting it go too far.
This blank was as you see in beginning of the video just cut with chainsaw, and I put it just like that in plastic.... If you have some fungus you can add them in bag as well, should help out.... But its nature process so sometimes we can't really control it.... I have had log go to rot very quick and then from same species it took months and months to get some spalting if any.... So I do this from time to time ,each time slighty different way to see what works....
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thank you for explaining. I have noticed the same thing where same species, even different sections of the same tree, will spalt and begin to decay at very different rates while stacked next to each other in the yard. I think I will try some inside in bags just to see if I can figure out some of the variables. Where I live, we have very limited tree species, and our only real hardwood option is paper birch. I love birch, but it tends to lack character without spalting or some substantial figure. Thanks again and peace to you, my brother.
