Thanks for demonstrating some different techniques. My neighbor and mentor, Tom Fortenbery built a hollowing tool with a brace much like you used in this video.
I absolutely agree, this is a magnificent chunk of walnut. And you created a lovely shape. Well turned and well produced video. A little bit of audio problems though. Excellent entry in the four way collaboration. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
I appreciate being able to follow along on this one. Wow I have to say this wood was absolutely gorgeous!!! While you were explaining reasons not to use a spindle gouge I just had to pause and appreciate that grain! If you have a spare moment for a question. What are the conditions where you would use the water spray on one project and not another? Is it the size, type of wood, shape you are turning, grain of the wood, crotch pieces ... many factors? Any guidance for when I should bring out the spray bottle would be really appreciated :) Oh just a heads up (I am not complaining just noting) your audio was pretty messed especially in the beginning with overlapping audio right around the 3:30 mark. Just wondering about the vibration issue. Any chance stopping the lathe with all the shavings piling up on the bottom and then restarting the centrifugal force must leave the clump on one side and that's gotta account for some of the imbalance no? Super gorgeous pot at the end wow!
That grain is absolutely beautiful. I like your tailstock setup. I may have to make one myself. I’m guessing you epoxied the threaded shaft into the wood that fits into the chuck or did you thread it in. How did you ensure it was dead center in the wood? Thanks for the instruction
Awesome looking pot! Love the grain of that walnut. Do you have a video that better shows the tool you used to hold the pot to finish the bottom? Thanks for this video.
A beautiful pot for sure. What is the ratio of your 3 part finish, if I may ask. I really enjoy watching these challenge videos that the four of you do and how you each approach it.
I’m sure it’s just one third, one third, one third, mixture. Sometimes I just fly by the seat of my pants so to speak. I don’t think the exact ratio is all that important. I look at it as each component provides a different element like polyurethane is a good hard, tough finish tongue oil has its own characteristics. So that’s how I look at mixing finishes thanks for watching Sam
I'm curious about this as well. I'm a new turner and haven't seen that before. Waiting for a response with anticipation. The only thing I can think of is to swell the fibers.
@@izgood2bking702 ordinarily, when I turn a simple bowl, I don't worry about springing it with water because I can rough turn the bowl very quickly. I worked on this project over several days and had to keep it wet so the surface wouldn't start cracking.. I am very happy with the results and the surface has only one very minor crack. It is even hard to notice.. thanks sam
That is one beautiful walnut burl ..follows the KISS Principle, well done
That is a very nice pot indeed. Beautiful wood. Some very good tips on preventing cracking and on mounting it. Many thanks!
Definitely gorgeous. I learned a lot watching this thanks very much!
Nice looking piece -- that walnut is awesome. Yours is the second of the four I have watched -- now to watch Mike & Tomislav's entries
Great shape and gotta love a good piece of walnut.

Nice Pot form. Good to see the new Mahoney hollowing rig.
I'm lovin' the walnut! Wow, good choice of wood, design and presentation. Very comprehensive.
Sam, this turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing.
Nice pot! Beautiful piece of Walnut! Thanks for sharing Sam!
Take care, Dave
Gotta love crotch feather, no matter what you make from it!
Absolutely stunning, and a wonderful shape
Very nice, a beautiful piece of wood. off to see the other three.
Beautiful piece of wood, love it 😊

Glen, I had them audio messed up around three minutes and 10 seconds. I just removed that section, don't know what happened. Thanks, sam
Absolutely gorgeous
Very nice.
I'm not sure any of the participants met the brief this time around, but it has been instructive and entertaining as ever.

An attractive piece but I thought the brief called for the opening to be less than 1/4 of the diameter.

Did you spray the piece with water to reduce the risk of cracking?
opening looks more than 1/4 of diameter?
Great looking pot! How did you finish the inside? Thanks.
What's the poly/tung /linseed ratios.? Very nice job
I’m sure it’s just one third, one third, one third, mixture. Sometimes I just fly by the seat of my pants so to speak. I don’t think the exact ratio is all that important. I look at it as each component provides a different element like polyurethane is a good hard, tough finish tongue oil has its own characteristics.

Nice piece, but I thought the opening was to be no larger than 1/4 of the overall diameter?
Why are you spraying it with water
I'm curious about this as well. I'm a new turner and haven't seen that before. Waiting for a response with anticipation. The only thing I can think of is to swell the fibers.
Sam is spraying the piece with water to prevent the it from drying out to rapidly. If the piece dries out to quickly it will develop cracks.
@@glencrandall7051…and black walnut looooves to crack!
@@glencrandall7051 Right on.....Sam

Sam I would like to get a price of a Laguna 15""" planer thanks.
I really don’t have anything to do with Laguna Tools. I am a (Robust Lathe) dealer, but that’s all. Sam
