Woodturning - Large Natural Edge Bowl - Red Oak [Live Edge]

Using wood from a nearby street tree that was cut down a few weeks ago, I share my method for turning a large irregular blank into a large natural edge bowl with the bark still intact. I mostly use a 5/8" and 1/2" bowl gouge for this one. This piece turned out surprisingly nice, considering it came from a small-ish neighborhood red oak tree (maybe a pin oak or black oak). I generally prefer white oak, but red oak species have some redeeming characteristics.
Thanks for watching! Feel free to ask questions in the comments; I try to get to them all.

Proper training and experience are essential before attempting to use any woodworking equipment. Do not attempt projects or techniques that are beyond your skill level or your comfort level! Serious accidents can happen in an instant and bandaging wounds or sitting in an emergency room is much less fun than woodturning. You are always responsible for your own safety. The only rules are: 1) Be careful; 2) Have fun.
