Wood Turning Off Center Bowl Double Tenon Glue Block

- I was planing on turning a simple pretty bowl out of Purple Heart.
Instead I offset the inside which made it a lot out of balance which required much lower RPM's
I used a scrap of oak glued on to make the tenons because I did not want to take material away from the bowl itself.
These are fun to make but a bit tricky.

I forgot how beautiful purpleheart can be. Thanks, the bowl looks great!
Thank Ken. I have another one coming up.
Very simple but pretty.
Thanks for watching,

@@ThePapa1947 Make it simple? No, give it a bead...lol
Nice bowl Gary. I'm going to my best to replicate it.
Excellent!!!
Thanks so much Kenny. It is fairly easy and I am sure you will go good.
Take care,
Gary
Wow! Just came across this one and spent a lovely Sunday morning enjoying it. Thanks!
Thank you Michael. Happy you enjoyed the video.
Gary
Beautiful.turning Gary. The chatoyance is beautiful. I like the off center turning. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you so much Gerald
Take care,
Gary
Good work Gary. Purple heart looks very nice when all polished up. My next course is off center turning and involves an off center bowl like this. I was searching TH-cam when I found your video, so thank you for the info and sharing the video.
Thanks and have fun.
Gary
Gary that's a beauty.👍
Thank you very much William and thanks for watching,
Gary
You have such a wide range of talents!
Thank you very much Willa. I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
It's definitely different. Kinda cute. Beautiful color and grain.
Yes different is a good word. I thought it would be fin to do and it was.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Hi Gary that was a beautiful bowl.
Thank you very much Manjit.
Very nice looking bowl like the off center
Thank you Chris. I noticed you have a new video pop up. I will check it out later tonight. Walnut is always good.
BEAUTIFUL $$
I truly enjoyed the video
Thank you very much William I am very happy you liked it and thanks for taking time to comment.
Gary
What a beautiful, rich & dense timber. This totally unknown to me here in Australia, I will have to Google it to find out what it looks like. Somehow the offset turning seems to sit very well with this timber. The finish is just superb.
Thanks Donald it is a very pretty wood. If not careful the fine dust acts like a dye and one time my white hair had a slight pink look to it. Boy did I hear about that for awhile..
Take care my friend,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I love the reference to the pink hair. That would have been an interesting look I'm sure.
Super video Gary really like the beautiful off center bowl. Purple Heart is a very pretty wood, thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Gary. Glad you like it.
You make it look easy. But then, you make them all look easy. Thanks
Thank you very much Garth. I appreciate your comments.
Gary
Truly amazing what good turners can create in even mediocre wood. But when genuinely beautiful wood is used by a real artist. . . stunning.
Thank you very much James. Your kind words are truly appreciated.
Gary
A good method is to add bonding to the mount and this saves a beautiful purple wood. The center offset went very nicely which increased its cost !!! Great Gary !!!
Thank you very much for your very kind words.
All the best to you,
Gary
Awesome job again Papa..
Thanks so much Bobby! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Take care,
Gary
Very successful and really beautiful. Thanks
Thank you Kevin it is the only one I have done and it was lots of fun. Pretty easy to do.
Take care,
Gary
Very creative and beautiful.
Thank you I am happy you liked it John.
Take care,
Gary
I love purpleheart. I love off-center turnings. So how can I not love this bowl. Well I do love it. It is beautiful. The shape, the color, the finish are all outstanding. And to top is all off this has to be the best production I have seen in a long time. You demonstrated all the steps in the process without overdoing any of them. The amount of commentary was just right. At the end you reiterated all the steps and then properly displayed the finished piece. Outstanding.👍👍 A model for all TH-camrs to emulate. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe. 🙂🙂PS: The music selection was perfect.
Thank you very much Glen for your kind words. Happy you enjoyed this older video. I just watched some of it because I did not recall the music. I pretty much stopped using any music and changed software for editing which I think is doing much better.
Thanks for watching and commenting,
Gary
Very nicely done Gary, beautiful bowl. 👍🇺🇸
Thank you very much I am happy you liked it.
Gary
Absolutely stunning
Thank you very much Donald!
Reminds me of a pickled beet egg Lol, it is beautiful.
Hmm pickled beet egg...have not had one of those for years...now I am hungry.
Thanks for watching and your wonderful comment.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I'm glad you knew what I was talking about!!! Most people look at me like I am crazy when I talk about them 😆 They were my Momma's favorite and she always made them for us kids, only way she could get us to eat our beets.
Well done, Gary. This is wonderful work sir.
Thank you very much Dan for kind words...much appreciated.
Gary
that looks very nice
Thank you very much and thanks for watching,
Gary
Wow Gary, this is a beautiful bowl!!! Thanks for sharing your method of offset turning. Something new for me to try. 👍🏾
Thanks Greg! Always nice to try something new.
Take care,
Gary
Very cool. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Jerry and thanks for watching,
Gary
Excellent finish and clever technique. And skilled turning too.
Thank you very much Bill. And thanks for watching,
Gary
Brilliant work good sir!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Very nice turn
Thank you very much Justin.

Beautiful looking piece! Good job Gary.
Thank you very much Bill and thanks for watching.
Gary
How nice!
Thank you Stuart I appreciate your comment.
Stunning bowl, Gary. Nice job.
Thank you George.
Beautiful bowl, great job my friend 👍🏼👍🏼🤝
Thank you Tomas I am happy you like it.
Take care my friend
beautiful piece!
Thank you Damiano and I hope all is well with you.
@@ThePapa1947 yes, all is well thank you. Working on an installation to do spiral fluting.
Beautiful bowl. I have to pierces of purpleheart I am goin to try this. Hope mine is as beautiful.
Thank you very much.
Best of results for yours.
Hi Gary, Fantastic. Off-centre turning is something I have never tried but I do have a similar sized piece of wood, so if I feel brave enough one day I'll rewatch this video before I give it a go. Cheers, Huw
Thank you Huw and I am sure you will manage just fine. Something softer than Purple Heart would make it easier but it is still offset.
Take care buddy,
Gary
I love the offset turnings! So elegant.
Thanks so much Nan, happy you liked it.
Take care,
Gary
Great video Gary. Your bowl is very striking. I will defiantly be making one of these following your instructions. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Roger glad you like it.
Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Take care,
Gary
Love it.
Thanks so much and thanks for watching,
Gary
! Have a blank of that Gary will try and do the same mate beautiful job mate
Thank you Paul. Let me know how it turns out when you do it.
Gary
Your work is awesome stunning bowl
Thank you so much for your comment Raymond
Big thumbs up, Gary! I love Purple Heart and you certainly did this piece justice! I’m drooling over that lathe of yours. I don’t think mine could handle and off-center turning of that size. 👍✌️🍻🥳
Thank you David I appreciate your comments. I once mounted a piece on a large wooden face plate so I could add counter balance to it. It was really out of balance. It was the Emerging Bowl from a branch video. Multi axis and offset.
Lathe was shaking for sure.
I will say your lathe servers you well based on the outstanding work you do on it.
Take care,
Gary
Very clever!
Thank you Jen!
Well done, very nice!
Thank you Valerie it was fun to do. I have been wanting to turn some of the Elm but it sure is wet. And I have a number of pieces set aside 😊
Someone must be trying to tell me something. I went to Woodcraft yesterday for the bowl turning class. What I learned is that I have a lot to learn. Bowl turning bears very little resemblance to pen turning,
Now, when I left I picked up a piece of 8x8x2 purpleheart to make a bowl for my daughter. Then YT decides that I need to watch videos on offset bowl turning, which I finished by watching yours. So, it looks like I'll be doing a lot of practicing and then will turn an offset bowl with my purpleheart.
Well John happy I am inspired you.
For sure practice on some softer less expensive wood.
I think this is the only one I have done. Maybe time for another.
Best of luck,
Gary
Really awesome, Gary...I haven't tried an off-center bowl, yet, but I will!
Thank you Carol and you will like it.
All fun stuff!
Very nice job Gary, rve never found purple heart to smell, but use the wrong finish and it did turn brown. Found using dedentured to get rid of the oils help also.Ken
Thank you Ken...only probably I have found that when sanding the dust can stain or dye. I found out because I had pink hair in spots for a while. The wife made a point of letting everyone know..lol
So what do you consider the wrong finish to use on it? And what do you like the best?
Take care,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Gary, If you would send me your email address, I'll send you a photo and tell you what I found. We can't figure out how to get a photo attached here. Thanks, Ken
Very nice Gary, Purple Heart is such a beautiful colour. Neat idea adding the dual tenon block.
Thanks for sharing from the U.K.
Thank you very much. Purple heart is really beautiful but the sawdust seems to act like a dye. At least it did to my hair once...lol
Well what can i say, will have to give this a go. Inspirational, you always give us something to consider and stretch are capabilities.
Thank you Florence I appreciate your comments.
Happy turning to you!
Gary
Cool bowl. Well done - and another interesting video, too.
Thank you David I am happy you liked it.
Thank You Gary, You are always thinking & turning something new and challenging. Purple Heart is beautiful wood & you did it justice....TM
Thank you very much Tuffy!
Gary
Another beautiful bowl! :)
Thank you very much James!
WOW, another amazing piece of beautiful work. Well done my friend
Thank you very much I appreciate your comment.
Take care,
Gary
It is beautiful. What would it look like with different colours of layered wood. I've seen it done with small pieces of wood. it looked great
it is beautiful.
Thank you very much Daisy,
Gary
Cool!
Thank you Beatrice, happy you liked it.
Take care,
Gary
Wow mate, the colour of that is absolutely beautiful with its lovely shape and design ! I must look out for some purple heart next time I get over to the timber off cut merchant.
A truly stunning piece Gary , great job my friend!
Cheers, Bram
Thank you Bram and if you could not tell Purple Heart is a very hard wood. But worth it.
Take care
Gary
I r e a l l y, really like it! I'm gonna make one. Really nice!
Thank you Mike and you will see it is not all that hard to do.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another beautiful bowl and what a clever idea to offset the turning. I never tried an offset turning but I think you make it look a lot easier than it really is. Your craftsmanship is reveled in every video you make. Thanks for sharing. Happy Valentines Day!
Thank you Kent for your very kind words. They are much appreciated.
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful as usual, lovely piece. Explained and demonstrated brilliantly. Well done Dad 😜👍🏻🏴🇺🇸👏
Thank you Steve glad you liked it.
Gary
That bowl is beyond gorgeous, Gary. Your idea for offsetting is so great I almost feel guilty about wanting to steal it. ALMOST!! I sure hope the purple color lasts for you. I have had some that stayed purple and some that turned brown. Best of luck with that, my friend!! 🤞🤞👍👍
Safe turning,
.....Gord
Thank you so much Gord. Well you just go ahead and steal the idea I have done the same to yours as well. And I don't feel guilt one bit...LOL
I have heard that about Purple heart so I just checked a bowl I made and engraved cats on the outside...it is still purple but it does not see much light where it is at. I am guessing it is the light doing it. As a matter of fact the plank I cut this piece was so dark I thought it was Walnut when I bought it at a moving sale. I wont say how much I paid for it. I will just say I am pretty cheap and I was tickled for what I got it for.
Thanks for watching and take care my friend,
Gary
Beautiful work as always 👏! Keep them coming!
Thanks Stephen glad you liked it.
Take care,
Gary
I Absolutely Love it Gary! Really Well Done My Friend 👍
Thank you very much Steve I appreciate your comments.
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful bowl like a big pendant good job 'Gary' take care my friend.
Thank you Sagar I am glad you like it. And I just checked out your lidded box...very nice.
Take care my friend,
Gary
Fantastic job Gary, I must try this method when I get back to the shop, thanks for sharing, John
Thank you John glad you like it.
Best to you my friend.
Gary
Lovely piece, thank you for explaining how to do this in simple steps, this is now on my to do list.
Thank you Graham and best of luck on yours when you do it. You will find it easier than it looks.
Gary
Wow Gary that purple heart looks great, outstanding finish on that piece as well, great work!!
Thank you very much Bruce it is something I have wanted to do for awhile.
Just when things get boring an exceptional and exciting turning shows up 👀 Way to go Gary🏆 You da man 👍 Big thanks for doing, and most importantly, for sharing with us🙏 -Mike p.s. Did I say Wow!! ??
Thank you very much Mike that is very kind of you to say.
Happy turning my friend,
Gary
Gary, beautiful piece. Elegant in its simplicity. I like doing offset bowls and use Ron Brown's offset jig. It's certainly more expensive than your method but only requires one mounting to do the bowl. Cheers.
Thank you Tom I am happy you like it. I have thought about making and offset chuck but I doubt I would use it enough.
If there is something I can make I will do it. Partly a cheap thing but mostly I enjoy making things.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
Very imaginative, Gary, but we've come to expect that from you. Take a simple turning and make it difficult, good job! LOL! Truly, I really like this piece! I've considered doing one but now I'm glad I've seen you do it, first. I doubt I would have thought it all the way through the way you did and would have wound up scratching my head. Likely would have been one of those "turn it then burn it" scenarios. Love it, buddy, keep'em coming!
Phil
Thanks Phil I appreciate your comments. Even the take a simple turning and make it difficult...LOL
There was no knot, bark or huge cracks so I had to do something.
But as I said next week will be much simpler!
Thanks for watching my friend and stay tuned I am dreaming up a complex one!
Gary
Great engineering, excellent design, and a nice piece of work. Cheers n have a good holiday. Best Regards
Thank you very much for your kind comments.
Gary
A very nice bowl, purple heart is always nice but how long it will stay purple is the issue. I have just made some purple heart pendants for my granddaughters, sanded them and they went brown but I left them in the sunlight for a few days and they are a purple again.
Thanks
James
Thank you James.
I have turnings from Purple Heart. I did 5 years ago that are still purple. Finished with lacquer.
This piece came from a 6 foot by 1 foot by 2 inch piece of wood that was so dark I did not know what it was. Once I cut a piece off I knew what it was. Time will tell.
Thanks for watching and for the tip on it changing colors.
Gary
Absolutely beautiful, Gary. Besides an awesome piece of wood with fantastic grain and chatoyance, I love the design. That's a really interesting technique. Take care and I'm glad you're finally feeling better.
Thank you Bill I am happy you liked it and how I how it was made.
And thank you yes I am finally about done with the coughing. Everyone I know that had this complained about how long it took for that go away.
Thanks again my friend,
Gary
You come up with the greatest projects. This one I wondered about, but once again another stunning piece
Thank you Dina glad you liked it. I am doing one right now that I am wondering about myself.
I will know soon.
Take care,
Gary
beautiful piece Gary I've never done one but i'm going to have to give it a try! Like Phil said I'm glad I watched you first lol! You and Phil and Rod are go to wood turners to watch and get Ideals, but there are some other greats to thanks for the video's really I love the Purple Heart!
Thank you very much Larry.
It is an honor to be mentioned with the other two.
There always has to be a first. This was my first for this style.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
Fantastic Gary! Makes me want to buy a set of cole jaws to try this!
Beautifully executed and finished 👍😁
Thank you Will. I pretty much bought this set for things like this.
Mr other set of Cole jaws are a bit small.
Gary I’ll bet u were good at math in school. How do u think up all the different shapes. That’s a sign of being a true artist seeing it before it’s ever made. Great job my friend! It’s a keeper!
Thank you very much for your kind words. Yes I was pretty good with math. My job as a wood pattern maker was all about math. Mostly geometry and trigonometry. I have always enjoyed math and angels.
Take care buddy!
Gary
Just wanted to say it’s a beautiful turning excellent the way you did to offset really enjoyed the video
Thank you Robert I appreciate your kind words.
Gary
Bellissima.
Thank you very much!
This one had me scratching my head while you were turning it but I love how it ended up. Very pretty!
Thank you Tracey I wasn't scratching my head but my hair was getting turning even a lighter shade of white...lol
It was fun and I am happy you liked how it turned out.
Gary
This is really close to the technique I used in my off center bowl video a few years ago - you can find it on my channel still. Very nice result here!
Thank and I will look yours up.
Gary
That is absolutely beautiful my friend!!! Have you ever tried using a heat gun to darken the purple heart?
Thank you very much. No I have not heard of the heat gun trick. I will try it on a scrap to see how it works.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
I love the offset turning. Where did you get your large negative rake scraper?
Thank you. My negative rake scraper started out as a standard and I simply ground the top as well.
This is the one I bought: www.pennstateind.com/store/LX130.html
I have some I have made from very old framing chisels and they have really good steel in them.
@@ThePapa1947 Thank you very much
Beautiful bowl , , the Purple heart is a gorgeous looking wood , is it only grown in the USA ?
Thank you I am happy you liked it Stephen. I do not think it grows any where here in the US.
Here is what I have found about it.
Purpleheart trees range from Southeastern Brazil to Costa Rica and even to Trinidad, but most species grow in the Amazon basin
Take care,
Gary
Purple heart is just gorgeous! The off-centering is also special. I am told that the purple heart smells awful during turning. Is that true?
Thank you Jabulani. Not sure about the smell. In 2006 I lost almost all my sense of smell. Under the right conditions I can smell a few things.
Thanks for watching my friend.
Gary
Great job again. How much do you thin down your lacquer ?
If I mix my own I will do about 50/50 . i tend to use the spray cans noe.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
135th.
Thank you Kenneth
4:52 that is absolutely horrible :D
Yeah just a bit out of round! 😊😁😃
Gary, thank you for this simple bowl. You left to much wood on one side. When you get a little more experience you will learn not to do that. Just kidding Gary.
Well thank you Don...now that I stopped laughing I am able to type. Maybe if I would have stood on the other side of the lathe I could have cut off the material I missed...LOL
Thanks Don and thanks for the laugh...it was great!
Gary
