Woodturning - How to Make an Essential Chip's and Dip's Bowl

Was thinking about what to turn next and this idea came to mind. Took me ages to find this large piece of Ash I knew I had .... and it still wasn't quite big enough in the end. Oh well, the wood worm eaten flat side gives the bowl some extra character.
Its sanded to 7000 grit and finished with a few coats of Danish Oil. Now time to get some use out of it 😋😁

I've been wanting to turn a dip & chip bowl. Your video helps give insight to how it's done.

[@solidarityworkers6900]

Wood chips versus tortilla chips. Great useful and attractive piece.

Great bowl ,.i love the lighter coloured woods for foody stuff.

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thank you Sarah! I was hoping it was going to darken up a bit more. I prefer Ash when its more of a light golden colour 😁

Too Cute❣️❣️❣️ Kinda, Looks like Someone got a bit Too Hungry, and took a bite out of the Bowl 🤣🤣🤣 Perfect Ending 👌🏻

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thank you very much! I wanted to keep the imperfection in the wood, perfection isn't everything 😄😁👍

[@thecraftystasher]

@@HarrySmithWoodturning So True!!! I work with Ink a lot, and go after the look of Imperfection / Perfection ~ to get that Old Vintage / Antique Distressed Look & Have actually Torn Paper, then followed up w/ Repairing It ~ For That Imperfect / Perfect Look 👍🏼 Perhaps, I sometimes carry it a bit ~ Too Far 🤣🤣🤣

The flat spots really degrade the bowl.. I like the inner bowl..good luck..

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Fantastic piece Harry and I love you left the natural fault in the side. Great video harry. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw
PS How old is your lathe as it looks like and old APTC Lathe?

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thanks very much Huw! I didn't want to reduce the bowl to a small boring lump, so the imperfection adds some much needed character . The old APTC is definitely getting on a bit .... think I'm in need of an upgrade 😁😊👍

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@@HarrySmithWoodturning I've got the 1628 or 406 as its now called. It's brilliant

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

@@WoodenItBeNice I almost bought one of them the other day but it wasn't to be. Maybe I'll get the upgrade before the end of the year👍

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@@HarrySmithWoodturning Good luck Harry. I believe it's Axminster's best selling lathe and also the one they take to exhibitions.

[@keithcarothers2643]

I love the contract Harry, I was curious of you'd be able to list the type of wood used in the future videos? Perhaps I'm just missing it. No matter what it's wonderful content

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thanks very much Keith! I usually list the wood type and the finish I use in the description. In the case of this video it is Ash 😁😊

Hello from France. I am here for an aperitif or to admire this beautiful work? What is the diameter of your sanding system on the drill, please? Thank you in advance and good Sunday.

Thanks for watching Jules! It's finished with Danish Oil which is food safe when fully hardened 👍😁

Thanks tallyrc 😃👍I used Danish oil.
Take a look in the description field (downward chevron next to the title) for more information on finishes and the back story 👍 🪵

[@StuartOkorofsky]

what is the diameter and height of the finished bowl

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thanks for watching Stuart! It's around 220mm wide and 40mm deep at the highest point (the dip holder) 👍

[@glencrandall7051]

People say sanding is boring. well in my opinion, so is turning. Especially speed up turning. It just looks so frantic. And how about a bit of narration, of at least a caption or two so that I know where you are going with the project and what products you are using. Still, thank you for sharing. Have a great 2022 and stay safe.

[@HarrySmithShorts]

Thank you for your comment Glen 😃👍I prefer to let the wood speak for itself and allow the tools to tell their own story as they make their changes. All the very best 🪵

[@leftmono1016]

It’s pretty obvious what’s going on, and it’s a type of project you don’t normally see.
I’m going to try something similar using my own preferred turning and finishing methods.
People expect everything spoon fed to them. Good luck commenting on all the videos you find boring, you’ve got a lot to get through on TH-cam.

[@josepheberle6485]

What is the wood Sir?

[@HarrySmithWoodturning]

Thanks for watching Joseph! It's Ash 😊😄

[@DennisDolan-fl3mw]

Danish Oil ??? I didn't think Danish Oil was safe to come in contact with food.

[@nickshelton8431]

Also the chipped wall is so sad! 😔

Why the apostrophes?
