- How I made it
Not a Lignum Vitae bowl this time, but Rippled Sycamore and a bonus Mappa Poplar bowl (not shown in the cover picture. The wood in the picture is known in Europe as Rippled Sycamore. But in the USA it’s known as Curley Maple.
Off-centre woodturning fun for everyone including beginners.
Or off center as my friends in the USA spell it 👍 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

First time viewer. Love the piece. Excellent technique. Congrats, it's a winner all around.
Hello Ken? Difficult to tell from some usernames 😁
Thank you kindly for such nice comments 😁👍😁
Welcome Ken! You're in for a treat when you watch his other videos. Wow does he make some interesting art pieces
Good video just got to build up the confidence to try 1 my self
You’ve got this Mark! Just follow the steps and learn as you go! I’m still learning from the moment I enter the workshop to the moment I leave!
You can do it Mark!
I am excited to try this out!
Oooo, I hope it turns out a Beauty Dylan 😁👍😁
Well done my bowl! Clearly I taught you very well 😂😊
Indeed you did Dad! Love you ❤️
@@WoodWithD could you show us some of your Dad's turnings in a video? I vote YES.
See this is why I love watching your videos! You make something complicated, sound easy so I want to try it 😃 lovely pieces
I require pictures of the finish thing though mate 😁😁👍
Very nice video .. perfect timing, since offcenter turning was the President's Challenge last month at our local turning club.
Ha, brilliant Jeff, you’ll have to share this video with the group! Maybe after the competition 🤣🤣🤣👍
Thank you Dick. Really appreciate your video. Best wishes
My pleasure Mark! I hope your make turns out to be a stunner 👍👍👍
Sorry about the delay in my comment, but the weather here is finally warming up and I was preparing my garden. I almost had to build a bloody ark. Beautiful creation 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦
Lol, apology accepted 😝
Snow melting!? How many people and how many pets would be in your ark?
@@WoodWithD well I would be in the ark and a few other Americans....as you know the snow has been wicked this past winter.
Thanks for the great video.. going to try it tomorrow!
Best of luck Charlie, hope you turn a beauty 😊
Great video and project Dick. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure Mr Abel! You made one before or gonna try one like mine?
@@WoodWithD I'm not sur if I'll be trying one right now but i will get to it before Christmas. Again, nice job on the video and your commentary is always appreciated.
Love this process and maybe I should of watched this before doing mine and having to dance around the workshop
As always very informative and great explanation
Great work as always
I thought you were going to watch this at the airport? Where you going anyways?
@@WoodWithD off to Germany for 4 days working 😀
Hi Richard love the bowls. Great explanation on how to make the off centre bowl. I might have a go one day. Cheers 🇦🇺
John! Think you missed my last video with the mallee burrs and the blue glow in the dark resin! Or you getting bored of the resin stuff? 🤣🤣🤣
Send me a pic or pics when you’re done with your off centre bowl sir 👍👍👍😁
Great tutorial!!! I have sketches of a set of this type bowl, but had not figured out how to do the offset. Now I know!!! THANKS!!
My pleasure Clayton! Hope it turns out a beauty 😁👍😁
Ice cream get your fresh ice cream, but save it for afterward just in case you forget that you’re not supposed to put your finger in there… Lol. Bang up job sweetie. They turned out wonderfully. Beautiful grain and chatoyance.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Icecream! 🤤 🤤 🤤
@@WoodWithD very entertaining as always.
besides the great instructions on offcenter turning.... the Ice Cream Break got the like and the subscribe !!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you and welcome along to the not to insane 🤪
More videos will be following soon 👍
Great seeing your work and having a chat at the Goodwood Art Fair this weekend. You had some lovely work on display - and some great TH-cam content too! All the best 👍
Thank you so much Mr Two Hats. I hope you enjoy them all 😁😁😁👍
I have an Elm blank just for this. Awesome presentation Dick. I look forward to more videos like these.
Hi Jim, hmmmmm, Elm would look nice! I wish you good drain sir 😁👍
I think Ema will love it 😍 ❤❤
I hope so 🤣❤️
ThAnk you so much for my pink mouse, I absolutely LOVE it! You are so very very very kind ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wondered how this was done and now I know 😊. Excellent piece ❤
Surprise! Let the cat out the bag now! there’s actually quite a few methods, I’ve just worked out a way with minimal turbulence 😁😁😁😁👍
Absolutely lovely Dick I think Ema will love the piece of popular with all the insect holes in it thanks for the instruction on making off sets both bowels are really beautiful Blessings
Such very kind words Wade! 😁🤗
What part of this world do you hail from?
You got the spelling of her name right, so you must have read some of the other comments 👍👍👍😁
Are you going to make one using this method?
@@WoodWithD Hi Dick no I did not read any of the other comments that spelling just made since to me and my spell check agreed. I hope to try this method when I am able to get back to turning. At the moment I am waiting to have a hip replacement done. I am from a little town i central Alberta Canada call Hanna. I am about 300 KL northeast of Calgary Alberta
@@mnp1964 my gilding business partner Lenore says that’s the Goose hunting capital of Canada. And says the corner stone of her old family smokehouse is probably still by the train tracks there.
You can likely still detect her accent:

Dick the ripple one is stunning, Thank you for sharing the information on how to
My pleasure SilverBack! (Cool username btw. Must be a story behind that.)
Yarp, that ripple is lovely as I expressed in the video!
Icecream truck hasn’t been round today though 😔 🤣👍
@@WoodWithD was it Raspberry Ripple or Lemon sorbet
Your art is inspiring
Thank you Joyce, that’s exactly why I put this stuff of TH-cam - so other turners can get inspiration. Also, so when I sell a piece at a show, I can give the customer the linky and they can see the process of how their piece was made 😁👍
I look forward to other comments on videos of mine you watch 🤗
Not sure I'm ready for that. Much as I would like to, it's beautiful.
You can do it Stuart, if not, then the video instruction will be here waiting for you when you are more sure 😊😊👍
Great video Dick. Keep them coming
Thank you Mark! 🤗
This has given me an idea for a plate or platter. The Death Star from Star Wars.
Fantastic idea! Best of luck with it 😊😊😊👍
❤ very informative thank you for taking the time and effort to explain
You are so welcome! Have you made one yet?
@@WoodWithD no not yet but it’s on the list 😊
These bowls are cool! Like the poplar with the eyes in it!
Thank you Joe 😊, the eyes in the poplar are gorgeous. Only got a handful of that poplar left unfortunately 😢
Great instructional video both of them are superb
Awwww, thank you very much! Welcome to the club!
Hope you enjoy the previous and future vids too 😁👍
Very helpful and well done video. Subscribed, commented, and liked. Well deserved. I just came into a pile of great wood, some of it will be used this way. Thank you sir. =)
Amazing! All very much appreciated! 🙏
Lots of other videos that I also hope you’ll enjoy and find inspirational 😁👍😁
Welcome aboard and I hope you enjoy the ride 🤗👍
Hi Eric- what kind of amazing wood do you have?
Any of that bog oak that Richard is hoarding?
They are both amazing, great walk through and detailed instruction, you make it all seem so simple but I know how much work has gone into that. Have to say the shimmery one trumps it, but would love either on my sideboard! Just saying for the one that’s left ha ha ❤
Haha, no, Lenore is gilding it and it will for at the next show 🤣👍❤️
Yeah! Ice cream! 😋
😋🤣👍
Fantastic. I’m going to save this one for reference. Thank you!
My pleasure Doug, might be okay with your lathe not bolted down for this one! Just don’t go to large or too heavier wood 😁👍
Wow beautiful. Love your snappy delivery too great all round
I do my best to please, least that’s what he said 😬😁👍
Welcome along, new videos coming soon
I will be giving the method a try.. lovely work!
Excellent Anthony! Feel free to pop back on here and let me know if it worked well 😁😁😁👍
Entertaining and helpful!
Thank you Jim - I strive to be and be 😁👍😁
Very cool 😎😎👌👌
As are you sir! 🤗
Great video - I like your pencil tops - lol
🤣🤣🤣 I’m always trying to go find fun and funky ones 🤣🤣🤣
A two-fer. I wasn't expecting that!
Your end results are quite beautiful. Great job - cheers! (Oh and I like the thumbnail)🙂👍
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you Gem 🤗
Great job! Enjoyed immensely.
Thank you kindly. 😊
Are you going to make one?
beautful thanks for the instruction
My pleasure Alan, hope it helps and yours turns out beautiful 🤩 😁👍
Very interesting process and that burl wood is very beautiful.
The mappa poplar! Hell yes! I made the first one of these out of it th-cam.com/video/jpMg-jMG8oE/w-d-xo.html
That link above is for the yew version.
The Mappa poplar version can be been in this video 😁👍😁 th-cam.com/video/fzbRHcgWOX0/w-d-xo.html
Very nice bowl, great instructions. I am going to try it out next week!
Most excellent! Come back and let me know how you got on. The right piece of wood makes it ☺️☺️👍
Luv it
Thank you Randy 😁😁😁
thanks for the insperation. I will try it
My pleasure Neil! If you remember, let me know how you got on 😁👍👍
Incredibly interesting, lots of great tips, thanks!
Do you fancy icecream now?!
Safely back from you tour of Scotland?
@Woodturning with Dick I'm always up for ice-cream!
@@nrw71 🤣🤣🤣 and back home safely?!
Beautiful bowl and I love your instructions.
Thank you kindly! Are you going to do one using this method?
Great looking bowls sir👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I say, thank you very much sir 😁👍
Hello from Tennessee from a fellow Dick. Nice work, Dick.
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you Dick 👍👍 Tennessee Turner?
Great video and thank you for showing the process you use. Will have to look back at this when I get round to doing something off centre.
🤣🤣😊👍 Absolutely
"Wax On, Wax Off." A nod to The Karate Kid? Brilliant.
Epic film! Always kinda say it to myself when applying and removing/polishing the wax off 🤣🤣👍
Love the naration
😁😁👍 Thank you and welcome to the club.
New videos will be coming soon 😀
Great video - thank you! Lots to think about now... This is making me think about the benefits of a lathe with a MUCH larger clearance to the bed. I have 12" clearance now, but was thinking about 15", but maybe spending a few more $$ on the 18 opens up some new opportunities...
Oh there’s so many options and the possibilities are quite high, not endless, if you had enough space and know how, you could rig up a custom lathe and make HUGE things 😁👍
Just beautiful wood beautifully turned
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁❤️
Love it
😁😁😁 if you haven’t made one, you gotta do one soon, with the right bit of wood 👍👍
Welcome along, should be another video out soonish, been crazy busy with commissions etc 👍
Lovely piece thanks for sharing your skills with us, i may have a go myself in a couple of weeks.
With the right piece of wood, with some nice grain or patterning, they do turn out nice! 😊 Best of luck 👍👍👍 Slight poor effort, but did you see this one?: th-cam.com/video/As_KbIIUhcQ/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Lovely work, well explained.😊
Thank you kindly 👍 Best of luck with yours, I’m sure it will be a beauty!
Nice bowls. 👍
Thank you Sean! I often say at art fair to potential customer as they approach ‘Please come, look at my lovely bowls’ it often gets misheard 🤣🤣🤣
@@WoodWithD 😂
Brilliant! Hi! Thanks!
Did you see the icecream?
Nice bowl, Dick. Good technique.
Thank you James. New videos will be coming soon 👍☺️
Saved this video as I will make an offset bowl for myself. Thinking perhaps some spalted pecan.
Excellent Steve, oooooo, that could be nice with the right piece of Pecan! Hard stuff I understand!!☺️
Both very lovely ! And thanks for sharing your method , I'd probably have tried with an out of balance bowl and butchered my way through it !
I think the simplicity of the Sycamore works best , the Mappa is fabulous wood but a touch too busy to really see the design .
Where do you get Mappa from and what sort of cost would a blank like that be ? I especially loved the reveal of the figure at the bottom of the bowl , gorgeous !
👍
Very kind words indeed Jim! Many thanks sir! I look forward to seeing your effort on FB in due course 😁😁😁
The mappa I got as a large wide board from Surrey Timbers, Gilford, see the tour video here: th-cam.com/video/Q8tkix0Dw0U/w-d-xo.html
They may have some bowl blanks or small planks in stock. Give them a call. Though, it is VERY soft!
The rippled sycamore came from Bob at Timberline in Tonbridge and given how much he had, pretty sure he’ll have boards and blanks left.
Agree on the mappa, partly why I’m gifting it away to Ema.
Great
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Great video nice work. Like the methods. Did the like and subscribed.
Welcome along Bruce. Hopefully you’ll enjoy many videos to come. I will turn everyday when I retire, otherwise I try to get a couple of hours in a day 😁
Hi Dick, great video! I think I might give this one a go 😊
And steal my little win with your million subscribers 😔
@@WoodWithD haha, did I say I would make a video on it 😁
🤣🤣🤣 no, but if you do, please give a massive shout to me 😢
@@WoodWithD goes without saying 😁
Beautiful
Thank you kindly John 👍👍😊
Seems like a much safer way to turn off center bowls than I’ve seen before. Thank you for doing this step by step. Wonderful piece! I wonder if you could off center turn goblet, candle holders, or anything spindle like this? If so could you share that video?
Welcome along Madonna.
I’d like to say I’m not into candle holders and goblets, but the next video is going to be a goblet of sorts 🤣 the standard goblet with captive rings that most youtube woodturners do, but tried to do mine with a difference (not off centre 🤣🤣)
Not sure this method would work so well with goblets but maybe candle holders. Give it a try and see 😁👍
Nice process.
Thank you Ken! Cheers! Keep the comments coming when you watch a video 😊 Love comments, good, constructive or bad 👍
Gotta try this
With the right piece of wood, I think it looks amazing 🤩 best of luck 👍👍👍
Hey hi thanks love it etc :P Would love to do gaming day soon
Ah! Took me a minute 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was like, gaming! Oh, i’s with ya! I brought games last time but we just gassed for like 4 hours straight!
@@WoodWithD We'll just have to try harder this time :P
@@cass_p not sure what’s best though! The game where we built on each others stories was brilliant! I remember that fondly!
I'm gonna give it a try
Excellent! I hope turns (ha) out nicely 👍👍👍
Nice. Will have a go.
Fantastic! Would love to see it when finished! ❤️
@@WoodWithD "we" would like to see too. Is there any way you could get people to show you they made one, and then put it in a video?
@@gemofthewoods5802 only if they emailed me some good quality images. 🤗
Nice
Thank you ☺️
I think I'll try that 🤔
If you sell your work, they sell well 😁😊👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
If that’s the easy way, I don’t even want to know about the complicated way. Nevertheless, nice work and well done you.
Hi Dancing Fox 🦊, well, this is the harder way 🤣🤣🤣👍

Love 💗
Very nice, Dick
Awwww, thank you kindly 👍👍👍👍
What is the mening of the paper? And why can't the extra plate cover the whole faceside?
The paper is to stop the glue going into the finish bowl. The extra plate doesn’t cover the entire side so that you can still get your fingers in the bowl to check the wall thickness isn’t getting too thin when turning down the outside. I hope that helps it 👍 Try it and see 😊😊
This is the "easy" way??? Lol. I have a simpler approach but I can see how your method allows to turn much bigger off-center bowls. My method limits me to 6-8 inches, otherwise the lathe walks right out of the shop.
🤣🤣🤣 Barely any wobble though, doing it this way round! It’s all about the wobble!
And not everyone has their lathe bolted down 🤣🤣🤣
I'm gonna give it a try
Most excellent, try without the rim first try. It’s dead easy, just a few steps is all ☺️👍
@woodwithd I started small and not terrribly deep, and ended up with 2 matching bowls in walnut, thanks for the video
