Woodturning - Natural Edge Oblong Oak Bowl

In this video we will be turning a chunk of Black Jack Oak which I got for free in my community. I’ll hope to keep the bark intact and create an oval or oblong bowl which I’ll finish with General Finishes Wood bowl finish.
I’ll begin woodturning between centers, shape the outside with a bowl gouge and reverse mount with a tenon to shape the inside of the bowl.

I love the acorn joke! That’s the kind of cheesy jokes I love to tell! Thank you for showing that your tool steel needs to be sharpened and dressed from time to time! I wish more woodturners did that!

[@daviddeadman8455]

Nice work Robert. Beautiful wedding.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thank you very much!

[@DancingFox6]

You make it look so easy and it’s not easy 😊

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Haha Lois, it just takes practice! Not too long ago I had my struggles with turning bowls and stuff but I've been turning almost every day for the past year and I've seen my skills improve quite a bit.

[@radarthewoodturner8912]

[@jplwoodworks]

Harry I loved the joke- an oak tree , in a nut shell. Keep em coming. Oh and the bowl was nice too hodge. Bout to try and turn a crotch winged vase, glass, bowl. Piece of oak courtesy of Hurricane Laura.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Sounds exciting! I think I need to turn me one of those crotch pieces with the wide rim.

[@HeckingtonArts]

[@ClintHitchcock]

Sweet!

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks so much!

[@roystheboy]

Very nice indeed

[@vickiejenkinson2468]

That's really nice Robert! Looks like that piece of oak was really thirsty. I like that design. Thanks for sharing your creativity with me again. Stay safe, Vickie

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Haha! It was Vickie. I got sort of scared there when it soaked it up so much and was worried it would stay darker than the rest of the bowl but it all evened out in the end.

[@ranulfomendes4983]

Parabéns meu Professor , Belo trabalho

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Espero que você tenha aprendido muito!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Very nice. Love that you oiled the bowl before you applied the Wood Bowl Finish (poly). Really brought out the colors of the oak. Well done buddy.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Doug, the wood was very thirsty!

[@ericwinckler5142]

Hi Robert, really enjoyed watching you work. You make it look so easy. Turned out so nice. I have never tried making a bowl that wide because I have a mini lathe. Thank you always sharing.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

I sometimes feel that the larger the turning the easier it is to get the right curves. Thanks for watching!

[@williamellis8993]

Looks great, Robert. That finish really brought out the grain. I'd like to see another like this but leave the volcano in the middle and make it the bowl part. Take care.
Bill

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Bill. I'll give your suggestion some thought next time I'm rooting around my wood pile.

[@trurex007lee7]

Another great one, those large wings swinging in the lathe really keeps you alert and concentrating, much more than just the physical exertion but well worth it.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

They sure do keep me alert!

[@davidshaper5146]

I have the same lathe and bandsaw, for whatever that's worth.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

I'm completely happy with the lathe. As for the bandsaw....not a fan of the ceramic guides and more power could always be a plus.

[@davidshaper5146]

@@HodgePodgeWoodWorks Those guides kinda suck, and they aren't cheap. I've replaced one, and I'm missing one. And yes, the Powermatic rocks.

[@adrianolsen-woodhamwoodtur4980]

Looks absolutely fantastic Rob…..wonderful piece. Harry’s Acorn joke was awful, though 😖

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Adrian! I keep telling Harry he needs to work on his jokes.

[@stevecassidy3222]

I thought you might be onto a game a whack-a-mole when you started applying the Starbond to the cracks (every time I so much as look at a piece of oak it develops loads of tiny checks), but it's come out great. As ever, nice work, Robert.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Yeah Steve I have a few rough turned oak bowls that have cracked significantly. I may try to do some sort of inlay at some point.

[@valeriehenschel1590]

That wood looked pretty thirsty.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Yes, very much so!

[@markb8954]

Looks good. I’m not a fan of all music, and no narrative. Bowl looked great in the end.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks for the feedback Mark. The next video will have a bit more commentary.
