Bought some khaya wood, kiln dried. Any suggestions to work with it? I am still pretty inexperienced with the lathe even though I already made a few candle holders, small bowls last year. I'm going to make a bigger bowl with the khaya wood, same size as yours on your video. I have a Wen lathe, not a big big one. Thanks for the answer if you can
Really beautiful Kent. A lesson learned about turning the final nub: know the wood you’re turning. Cedar, pine and bass shear off way faster than ash or maple and oak. Get the soft woods close then chisel then off; just to be safe.
Kent, I turn nearly everyday now (retirement is a good thing) but no matter how much I turn, your videos are always helpful as I pick up some small thing I can do better. Oh, yeah, the bowl is wonderful, too!
Kent, I have been watching your videos for sometime now and with this video I got smacked across the head when I realized what you were saying about start cutting the inside wall first and leaving the center mass and slowly cutting the wall and slowly removing the center mass...that made so much sense to me. It was an eye opener. I have only been turning about three years, love your slow pace instructional videos. Keep up the great work.
Kent, once again a great video!! ... lots of inspiration and lots of reasons to go back over your archived videos and courses! ... one thing which you 'forgot' was your promise to show us the use of the sliding depth tool ... senior bowl turner moment! Cheers, Farmer John, Ontario, Canada
Kent, thank you for all the tips in your many videos. They helped me get to the next level of bowl turning. One thing I see you chip away with a chisel fir the spur drive. I just drill a 1.5 inch diameter forstner bit. It is a clean level surface to set the spur to.
Nice bowl, skilfully turned and I learnt a lot. I enjoyed it; thank you. Another reason why I tend to prefer tenon over recess is that there is a chance of cracking the wood around the foot when the chuck is used in expansion mode. Just my "penny's worth". Thanks again
Hi Kent, another great video for woodturners skills. I like your camerawork an the way you are explaining things very much. After three years of woodturning I still can learn a lot from you. Kind regards from Germany, Egbert
Great bowl Kent! You make it look easy. I leave the center mass of the bowl like you do as I work to the center of the bowl but I still occasionally get chatter. Sharp tools and light cuts help a bunch but it's quite a delicate balance to eliminate that chatter. Good job!!
It can be challenging Nate. But, if you make that your goal, you will reach it. You might make a bunch of not-so-great bowls but that is a small price to pay when you finally get there. Remember; persistent, patient practice will yield the bowls you imagine creating! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Just found your channel. I really appreciate your teaching style. Although I started turning over 15 years ago, I gave it a rest for many years and am now reacquainting myself with it. Your lessons are great for new turners and “intermediate” turners, like myself. Thank you!
Beautiful job. I learned long ago as a machinist that the secret to a good job was patience. I would watch others who had to remove half an inch, dial .490 onto their machines and say, yeah, .010 for grind. But then the part would rip out of the vise, it would heat up and end up undersize or any number of other problems. Those were my thoughts as I watched you close in on the final outer shape, then turn the bowl around and creep up on the wall thickness, cut after cut. The finished product spoke highly of it's creator. Thank you once again for sharing and Happy New Year from New Hampshire.
Wow I really enjoyed this video wish I would have watched it before I blew up two bowls this week live and learn is this case it's watch and learn and live to turn another day. Thanks again for helping me with your videos.
Just found your channel. Have been turning and teaching for several decades and have learned a lot just in this one video. Really enjoy your teaching style- no detail is too small to comment on (really the only consistent gig I get from my students, but I'm getting better!) Have been looking at modern sharpening system and love how fast yours works. New subscriber.
Thank you for writing and sharing and welcome! I think you'll find plenty more here and on my website www.TurnAWoodBowl.com All the best to you and Happy Turning!
I know your not looking cudo's , but you are a pleasure to watch. So very informitive, easy to follow, and knowledgable. Hope you keep up the good work. Mike
Kent, instead of using the 0000 steel wool, have you also tried using the left over Ash shavings? I find using them after I pre-sand before any finish is applied yields great results. Was curious if you had tried in the past. Thank you for all of your videos 👍.
Kent, I used to make mortises all the time too until I began watching your videos and seeing the advantages of the tenon and shoulder. I'm sold on using a tenon and shoulder now. Thanks for the great video! Good catch at the end! Absolutely beautiful bowl.
Like the ash bowl. I been wanting to get into bowl turning an I have a lathe but it's around 40 years old an have to change speed with a step down pulley system.
Good reminders as usual, thanks. I have a request: Could you do a video on turning a cube for a three cornered bowl. I'd love to see your method for this interesting project type. Thanks again.
Great work, thanks for the complete demonstration-wonderful bowl, that's the only upside of the emerald ash borer - should be lots of ash at a good price.
Ken, as always, a beautiful bowl and an informative, clear video. I have a suggestion for something different for your channel...arrange a video visit/tour of the Tried & True factory. I would love to see the process and people behind the product. Who knows, you could produce a few of these helpful 'outside the shop' resources a year.
At the Craft Centre I worked at we turned nearly all native woods, Ash been one of them I found it varied from moderately hard to very hard especially Olive Ash, nice bowl showing the grain off.
Nice video. Very thorough. I appreciate the fact that you are teaching good technique. There are a LOT of turners out there that forego technique in order to keep the video manageable. Great Job! I will be subscribing to your channel.
I appreciate that Alex! Yes, there are too many details to rush through the video. It wouldn't do the turning justice. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
😮my tenons sometimes go wonky and don’t hold the bowl steady. Did a mortise recently and it seemed to hold the bowl better, more stable? You’re right, it’s easier to blow out the bottom of the bowl, however you don’t have to shape a foot. Pros and cons?
Thank you for writing and sharing, Rand! It's harder to blow out the bottom with a tenon. The shoulder and tenon give you more wiggle room. Watch this for getting the tenon to hold better th-cam.com/video/L6hvtsAgTI0/w-d-xo.html Happy Turning!
Got a new bowl gouge last week, almost an inch round..ohh the joy of using it removes material unbelievably fast. The problem now is the shavings are so thick my dust collection gets clogged. definitely a great investment for anyone considering the joy and stability alone is worth the $170.
Good question. Typically the first turning is still thick enough to support the whole piece from vibrating. I still work down the walls from top to bottom the same way with a twice turning. Happy Turning!
Kent, Bonjour from France. Can I ask if you have a tutorial on the round carbide tool, please ? No matter what I do, I get catches ! If you can help, I would be very happy to watch.... and Thank you. William
Sorry I don't have a video on that William. However, be sure you have the tool at the centerline of your turning and not below. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Kent, enjoyed the video, good looking bowl. Have you compared the Tried and True vs Howards Feed and wax? Looks like a similar product, I have not tried either finish yet. Tooling up my shop, soon will be testing out all my finishes and seeing what the "Boss Lady" likes best.
I have not tried that product. I just did a quick search and it has several ingredients, unlike Tried and True. It might be ok, but I like my T&T. ;) Happy Turning!
Kent - The sanding mandrel you're using isn't the one you refer to in your recommended gear list - would you please post a link to a source for the one shown in this video?
Great video. I’m going to rewatch to really cement it. I don’t really get why opening the flute creates a more aggressive cut and increases the chance of a catch. Do you have a video on this?
Check out my turning course www.TurnAWoodBowl.com/turn We cover everything thoroughly there. If you open the flute and make a "normal" depth pass you will get a catch. Possibly a nasty catch. Happy Turning!
Yohan, yes when you are starting and for larger pieces a faceplate is very good. As you grow you will want to use a drive center because you have more control of how the blank it mounted and balanced on the lathe. Good quesiton. Thanks and Happy Turning!
Phil do you do anything to contain shavings as they leave your lafe or you just let them go and clean them up later? Beautiful job as usual. Great videos. Thanks. Barry
Thank you. Your videos are so helpfull. Unfortunately, I cant find that finish available in Australia. When you say that finish is beeswax and linseed oil. Do you mean natural linseed or boiled linseed oil?
Clive, sorry I wish this product was readily available everywhere. This is truly boiled linseed oil and not "boiled" like most other manufacturer's claim. Most others use metals and other chemicals in the "boiling" and cooling process. Tries & True makes small batches, not large commercial batches of the product, which is what makes them so different. They are basically make "old school" boiled linseed oil. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Beautiful work Kent! I've got a question on sharpening the bowl gouge. Is it better for the grinding wheel to be turning toward you or away when sharpening? Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!
Interesting question Stephen. The wheel should be move "towards" you or over the top and down in front. I don't know of any grinding wheel that goes the other way. Happy Turning!
I really like the way your narrative is added after the video is finished. It means your description of what you were doing is very clear.
Thanks a lot for your help and response. I was just thinking about my post this morning when I woke up. Have a great Sunday
Enjoy the day. ;) Happy Turning!

I do like the thin-wall look. Thank you for demonstrating your approach, clear and instructive as always.
Kent, your videos are a must watch for me. After a stroke I need the jumpstart to get me going in the workshop. It's a gift. Thank you
Glad to help. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

yes, me too!
I like the idea of "excavating the bowl." You really do make it look easy. Learned a lot. Thanks!
Thank you, Denise! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Great video as they all are. As a beginner, I’m constantly playing them as I turn! So helpful!

Another great video Kent. Thanks for your time.
Nice bowel,I enjoyed the lesson.
Your channel is the most informative turning channel I’ve seen. I wish I’d found it before a destroyed my spindle gouge on a bowl.
Thank you, Monk. Yes, that darn spindle gouge usually gets it first. Hope you are ok. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Beautiful bowl, Kent. I’ll use the tips on finishing. I love ash. Tanks for sharing.
Well done. The figure in the wood is fantastic.
Thank you very much! Happy Turning!
Absolutely beautiful bowl Kent. The grain is beautiful.

Thank you, Tim. Glad to help and Happy Turning!
Gorgeous ash wood grain.
Thank you, Nick! Happy Turning!
Nice bowl, skilfully turned and I learnt a lot. I enjoyed it; thank you. Another reason why I tend to prefer tenon over recess is that there is a chance of cracking the wood around the foot when the chuck is used in expansion mode. Just my "penny's worth". Thanks again
Thank you, Fredrick. Yes, I'm not a mortise fan. I'll use them sometimes, but not often. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Beautiful bowl! I'm eating snacks out of a bowl that I turned very much like yours, with the thin wall look. Thanks again for the interesting video.

Beautiful bowl Kent.

Hi Kent, another great video for woodturners skills. I like your camerawork an the way you are explaining things very much. After three years of woodturning I still can learn a lot from you. Kind regards from Germany, Egbert
Thank you, Egbert! If you'll still learning, that means you're still getting better. Well done, keep it up! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Excellent and enjoyable video Kent. I learn from each of your videos. Thank you very much.

Beautiful bowl Kent 👍 The grain really pops and the Tried&True is a great finish. Really like your videos.
Thank you, Skip! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
I would argue that turning a bowl with a perfect, continuous curve is one of the hardest things to do in wood turning. Beautiful bowl
It can be challenging Nate. But, if you make that your goal, you will reach it. You might make a bunch of not-so-great bowls but that is a small price to pay when you finally get there. Remember; persistent, patient practice will yield the bowls you imagine creating! All the best to you and Happy Turning!

There are times when CA is great. Very thin crack especially.

Thank you, Mark! Happy Turning!
If you used a coring system to save the center of this blank for other bowls, how would that affect the approach to developing the thin walls?
Good question. Typically the first turning is still thick enough to support the whole piece from vibrating. I still work down the walls from top to bottom the same way with a twice turning. Happy Turning!

wondering why you don't use some kind of bowl saver system to use the large amount of useable wood?
Well, Phillip, because I have bowl blanks coming out of my ears. And hurricane season is only a few months away. ;)
Do you comment as you are turning, or do you voice over? Either way, it is another great bowl?
Both! Usually a voice-over after the video is edited. Happy Turning!
The shear scrape at 17:17 is different from the pull cut before because on the shear cut the bevel isn’t riding, is that right?
Correct.
