I like this one too. Amazing how leaving it a little natural in places can draw the eye differently. To one awesome, another unprofessional. I made a maple vase, let a couple places where there used to be branches, same result, either they love it or hate it. Thanks for the video Rus, appreciate the ideas....Dan
@@Danseadorf I don't call it unprofessional. I call it creative. Some people don't have an eye for it. I had a couple professional one at the show and I ended up bringing them home. Thank for watching Dan! I really appreciate it!
...turned out great...👍 I've decided to pick up a bowl gouge (and hopefully figure out how to sharpen it)...I like the size of yours...is that a 1/2" gouge? Matt
@@detroitgator1 all the information is in the description except the price. I sold these smaller one's for 10 bucks. They sold fast so I could have got 15 or maybe more, but I'm not in it for the money.
@@rogsta00 this one was still a little green. After I finished it I put it in a paper bag with the shavings for a few days. That seems to help. If it's real green I rough turn it and do the same in the bag but let it sit sometimes up to six months.
A cool selling point for it also is telling the customer it is green and over time it will “age”. With drilling down the middle it also stops it from warping and cracking too much.
Great project
Thank you!

Matt
Yes mine is a 1/2 inch. I like that size the best.
nice
Thank you!
What did I miss? When did you hollow the center or finish the top?
Sorry my camera messed up on that part. But it's same as my others. I drilled a 1/2 inch hole and tapered the top a little bit.
Good job! You may want to check and update the links in the description.. You just posted this and several of them are no longer available.
@@ericeinsmann5559 Thanks for watching! And thanks for letting me know. I will check them.👍
When did you put the hole in the centre?
I lost the footage of that, but it's just like all my other videos.
Maybe at least let us know wood type. That would be helpful. And what do you sell these little beauties for? Really nice work

Was the wood fresh or seasoned? Is there any worry with fresh wood that it'll crack it warp as it dries?

What do you sell those for? $1.00
10 bucks
Can't you get that ruff end at the tailstock off, looks unprofessional.
@@kennethcaine3402 I could but then no one would want to buy it.
ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
@@vigilante004 Don't know what that means so I'll take it as a good thing. Thanks for watching!
