- This 145x85mm claret ash bowl was turned from green (unseasoned) timber. The tree was felled only a few weeks earlier. You see the base completed using a jam chuck.
For in-depth explanations of the tools and techniques you need to refer to Richard Raffan’s woodturning books and videos. www.richardraffan.com.au/book...

Richard is the best of the best.
Mr. Raffan, I applaud the fact that you left in the falling of stuff as you said, "things like that happen." No truer words to be spoken.
I love how you show your mistake with scraper and how you fix it. You don't see that often on TH-cam.
Love the bowl😀
So great to see you back on the lathe Richard. And these long videos are truly appreciated! Thank you for your great work!
As before, my "mentor" is back on line, and I am continuing to learn ... even after all the DVD's and the books. Always a pleasure and definitely a learning experience.
As a woodturning teacher i really appreciate you make new videos, and long ones... I learned with Raffan's DVDs and I want my students to have good references to follow on TH-cam. These videos are necessary! greetings from Barcelona, Spain
It's been awhile since I've had you spray me with your shavings. This was a great reinforcement as to how I developed my turning style. I am watching this during my lunch break eating my salad from a Round bottom bowl. Thank You!
Richard, it's always pleasure watching you turn. I first seen you turn in the 1980's when you made a VHS tape fot Taunton Press. You have gift being able to teach people. Keeping things clear and simple. Thank you!
Great video Richard. This is one of the best bowl demo videos I reckon I've ever seen, the way you show so many different tools and cuts, and explain how you're doing each step and why you're doing it the way you do. Thanks
The design of the bowl is wonderful and the apparent ease with which you made it is inspiring. Your videos are very informative. Thank you.
Great video and explanation of the whole process. I appreciate that you keep in the "oops" moments. It lets people know that those still happen among the best turners too.
Very fun! Thanks for taking the time to build this channel, Richard. It seems you are providing the "in betweens" of detail for your production videos. This is very enjoyable and informative! The real-time action is very corroborative of life at the lathe in my estimation. Thanks!
Always a pleasure to watch the Master at work. With only a gouge and a scraper He still turns out beatiful pieces. Thanks Richard !!
A pleasure to watch and learn from you Richard.
Thanks a lot for the decision to keep sharing all you know about woodturning. I have alreafy shared your channel here in Brazil within woodturning community.
Merci beaucoup Richard pour ces belles vidéos très pédagogiques qui viennent illustrer votre livre qui ne me quitte jamais !!!
Continuez nous sommes très nombreux à aimer ce que vous faites !
Bonne continuation.
Great demonstration. Thank you for sharing and your informative commentary. Thank you!
New sub here, Rex Kruger sent me from his channel. I have enjoyed your videos. Not only the turning expertise but great lighting, camera work and sound. I have been watching all of your back log of videos. Your turnings and teaching are wonderful.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, techniques and skills with us Richard! I always learn a lot from your demonstration! Glad to see you back teaching, you’ve got a gentle down to earth way of sharing your knowledge. I love the beaded bowl and plan to male one like it. Thanks again

I have one of your early books on wood turning . My first inspiration, sir .
Absolutely enjoy your videos, Richard! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us...
What a brilliant, generous Xmas gift to us all, all these videos!
Thanks Richard
I really enjoy your instruction. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Great camera work
Thanks for another informative video. The real time, or Richard Raffan tine (which in my case is at least 4-5 times faster than my time) turning out such a nice little
Le bowl was enjoyable and informative. Hopefully with more practice using the techniques you showed will help me speed up, but I doubt I’ll be able to reach your real time. Thanks again. Cheers, Tom
Nice to see you on TH-cam Excellent videos Sam Angelo
Thanks, Sam. I miss catching up in person now I'm no longer travelling.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Yep, things have changed for all of us. I did about 25 Remote demos a year ago, but they just took over my shop and life. I'm back to just doing videos. Be well Sam
great video. better than most of the American how to guides. Camerman also great for the prompts. just waiting for my wood to be delivered.
She's a beauty !
He is a pleasure to watch..
Absolutely marvelous work, Mr. Raffan! I thoroughly love watching you turn. What say we twist your arm a bit and get the Nish family to host you at CSUSA for a special class so I can watch shavings fly into Kirk's face? More importantly, I want terribly to learn at your feet in person!
Unfortunately I'm of an age when travel insurance is likely to be more than the airfare. And I'm no longer up to long days of hands-on workshops and listening to ten or more lathes at a time.
Just amazing.
Very,very nice!!!
Many thanks Richard interesting technique for finishing the bottom of a bowl. Geoff
It's a pretty standard technique and one of several for refinining or removing chuck marks and finishing the bottom of a bowl. There will be a seperate video on jam chucks.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning look forward to that.
Thank you.
Très jolie travail Richard j’adore ce genre de bol bravo 👍👏🇨🇭
Moi aussie.
Great video as usual...keep them coming. I have 1 and 1.25 in scrapers and am afraid to use them like you do because I almost always get a catch. I know I should raise the handle some but still seem to catch. Any suggestions?
Its me again, sensei. I saw the beautiful tray out of ash, and now I will continue my bingeing on your videos. But what in the world do you do with a bowl without a flat bottom? You could eat a bowl of cereal, or soup when camping...Ha!
My observation is that longterm bowls warp slightly, and that those that started with flat bases wobble on a flat surface. I build that in initially. My round-bottomed bowls are flattened spheres, often with a slight indentation at centre and they're seadier than you might think. I have two I often use for breakfast cereal, one turned on a pole lathe by Robin Wood. For assured longterm stability I have tripod bowls and you cna see those on www.richardraffan.com.au
I am always amazed at your use of a spindle gouge to remove wood! I always thought that you weren’t supposed to.
What would you say is the bevel on the spindle gouge?
You are amazing!
Thanks!
The bevel on the nose of my 1/2-in spindle gouge is 45 degrees for facework and about 35 degrees for spindles and endgrain hollowing. It is deep-fluted spindle roughing gouges that should never be used for facework. They used always to be called roughing gouges, which led novice turners to think that meant roughing anything.
Hello. What a lovely little bowl. Is your 'Claret Ash' much the same as our British Ash? Also, are you experiencing any Ash Dieback? A pleasure to watch you Richard. Best regards.
Claret ash is a varient of Caucasian ash. It was developed around 1910 in Adelaide. It's very similar to the tons of English ash I turned into bowls in Devon in the 1970s. It's a pleasure to work with. The leaves go purple in autumn, hence claret ash. It was widely planted in Canberra 40 or 50 years ago and those trees have often grown too big for where they are, so there's quite a bit of claret ash available.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Okay, thank you Richard. So no Ash dieback then. It's here and caused by beetle grubs, I think. Best regards.
But if it's green wood, won't the bowl distort when it dries out? It seems too thin to turn it again and true it up if that happens.
I turn most bowls green knowing they will distort. How they warp is dictated by how the grain lies in the blank. You can see a few of the thousands I've sold over 40 years at www.richardraffan.com.au/bowls-turned-green/. A major advantage of turning green bowls is that you can use logs before they split. When I finish bowls green I don't have to wait years for the roughed bowl to season. I leave three feet on green-turned bowl so they sit firm - th-cam.com/video/dqtydrnCpyU/w-d-xo.html. You'll find more about turning green wood in my books, and particularly The Art of Turned Bowls or Turned Bowl Design. www.richardraffan.com.au/books-and-dvds/.
What species of wood are you turning?
I couldn't remember the wood but fortunately it's above in the intro: Claret ash.
