I turned my first live-edge bowl a couple weeks ago - I will use your tricks on the next one!! Thank you
Hey Kent, i’ve been turning on and off for about eight years, but had never turned a bowl between two centers as you demonstrate. I’ve tried it twice now and it’s a revelation. There is genuinely so much to learn from your videos. Please keep up the excellent work I’m sure that the production takes quite a while because it’s so professional, thank you so much for doing this, regards from the UK
We (my husband and I) watch your channel often. He is a newby but has learned so much from watching you. He recently turned his first bowl from a flowering cherry tree limb. It “turned” out beautiful!😊 Thank you for sharing your amazing skills. It has changed our lives! At a time when the world needs to be turned around 🌳🪵🥙
красивая Ладья получилась!!👍
Kent, I never would have known that you liked to turn bowls, lol. This little, live edge cherry bowl is absolutely beautiful.
LOL, I guess it's not a secret anymore. ;)
Love working with Cherry. The smell, the colour. Stunning
Thanks Chris, I agree! Happy Turning!
You made a critical point when you said “after it dries”. Be nice to see this beauty a few months from now.
...that turned out gorgeous!...and thanks for the tips...👍
Matt
This is one of the best explanations I’ve seen of wood turning videos. I immediately subscribed.
Thankyou for a great demo on live edge bowl turning, although I have been turning a little while, haven't turned many bowls yet. I will now!! Thankyou again. Ga, z
Another bowl turning lesson. Thanks much.
I've been using your techniques for almost two years and I've had good luck turning bowls. Thank you Kent. Todd at GSW.
Todd,
Glad to hear. Thank you and enjoy. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Kent
Kent, I'm prepping to turn a live edge bowl. This video was super helpful, thanks.
Glad to help, Bill! Happy Turning!
Nice description and result Kent. Thankyou. Cheers Deno
Glad you enjoyed it! Happy Turning!
Thanks Kent I like and agree with your balancing process, I really like Natural edge turning. Regards George NZ
Many thanks George! Happy Turning!
Beautiful! I am just about to get a lathe for the first time, probably just a small mini-lathe to start. Watching your videos for all your techniques and advice is great! I was fortunate to participate in a Zoom session with Tom Silva and his daughter recently on using a lathe and got some great tips and advice from him as well.
Welcome to the club. Remember; persistent, patient practice will yield the bowls you imagine creating! Enjoy and Happy Turning! Kent
Beautiful grain. I really enjoy your teaching style.
Thank you! Cheers!
Live edge and natural edge bowls are the best! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏽
I love live edge bowls. I have a friend who is a woodturner (from whom I've bought many bowls/items) and I'm fascinated to watch you and have you teach me how he does it. I have zero interest in turning wood myself, but love to learn how things happen/are done.
Actually, the frame drop/pause allows a good look at the orientation and engagement of the gouge to the wood. Maybe this is not a 'defect' in the presentation.
LOL, ok. Thanks Bob!
Another nice job Kent!
Kent. Revisiting some of your videos just to get myself back on track. I noticed though that you appear to be using a different sander that the one listed. It looks like a RO sander. Thanks
Mark, yes I'm using an older model that's no longer available. The linked one is the best match. Happy Turning!
29:58 Thanks for another great lesson on turning a wing bowl. I have just started turning wood bowls and have found your instructions very helpful and inspiring. Thanks and looking forward to your next post already
Enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing Kent.
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome tutorial- love this! I will go back and watch more and have subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for another lesson on turning, always enjoy your presentation - the bowl came out beautiful.
Turned out real nice. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for not verbalizing I have a course. I like the feel of the video much better and thanks for all the content.
Very helpful. Many thanks. I’ll be giving it a try in a couple of weeks.
Enjoy and Happy Turning!
I have done live edge bowls in the past Kent, however I did not get them as well balanced as you did. Now with this new knowledge, I think that I can do better with my next one.
Jack,
So happy this helped.
All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Kent
Hey Kent, nice video and very nice bowl. I am putting the knowledge I get from you to good use making bowls and the live edge bowls are well liked.
Thanks for watching Rick. Happy Turning!
Great job!
Very nice work! Thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
Excelente obra de arte, que sigan los éxitos, un abrazo grande desde Chile Sudamérica.
I've been doing this method of hollowing bowl insides and it works pretty well so far. I also realized that I do everything with 5/8 gouge, even little biddy cups and bowls.
Very nice! Love this bowl. I am going to try it! I have cherry but not black cherry. Hopefully it is the same end result!
terrific instructions and explanations as always. Beautiful piece.
Thank you very much!
That's absolutely amazing.
hi i tried the 55 d swept back bowl gouge just magic
I have a big cherry tree l cut back in the fall. But it's not black cherry. It's red in color. I usually use mallet an gouges to make my bowls an cups. But lm going to use a new lathe l purchased recently. That wood is beautiful your making a bowl out of. You do very fine work l may destroy most of that tree before l get a bowl lol!
Best of luck Bobby! You can do it! Enjoy the process. Happy Turning!
Working on a maple live edge bowl now. The first one I have done in about 10 years. Thanks for the inspiration.
Enjoy and best of luck! Happy Turning! Kent
I figure asymmetric wings might be aesthetically pleasing, as long as the asymmetry is obvious, so it doesn't make people question their eyes, but also still isn't so far out that people wonder whether it could actually stand as intended without hiding a weight in the foot. So, a direct line from the top of the lower wing to the top of the higher wing should probably be a slope that has an angle between 15 and 30 degrees. Less than 15 degrees, and it won't be obvious enough at first glance (or later glances from the corner of an eye), and just annoy people. More than 30-ish degrees, and people will think it will roll over, or assume that the fruit or whatever is placed in the bowl will roll out.
Judith,
Yes, you are thinking about this correctly. The design should have enough intent to be understood as intentional and not appear as a mistake or oversight. ;)
Happy Turning!
Kent
Kent, I really like how well you balanced that bowl. Those edges are so thin and delicate. How long will it take that bowl to dry now that it is turned? Will you show it in a later video so we can see how much it may have moved?
I have been turning some cedar. It has some center rot and got rained on last weekend. I may try to turn another section in a week or so - as you know, it is raining again today. Would love to get together with you and get some one-on-one time turning so I can improve my turning - especially since I am just up the road from you.
Glad you like. It will be dry in a week or so. Sorry, I'm not doing any one-on-one turning at this time. Perhaps in the future. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Lovely vid thanks. What a tasty wood cherry is. I have just pollarded one just outside my workshop so might attempt a live edge bowl.
Usually I find cherry really difficult to dry without splitting. Do you sometimes put oil on for a twice turned bowl after the first turning? I put end grain seal but haven't tried oiling the whole thing. Veering off the subject I know but cherry is so special.
Beautiful job. I've watched this video several times thru my process of turning a few live edge bowls and pick up on "new" things each time to improve my technique. Can you elaborate on what you did for the final finish...I assume you let it dry for a time and the resanded, then put on some type of protective finish?
As usual Kent, a terrific demonstration and a beautiful bowl! My preference seems to be a slightly thicker wall than that, but I realize cracking becomes more of an issue. What finish will you apply over the “tried and true”? A good friend lives in Florida and we missed a chance to visit them when the wood turning symposium was on…..maybe next one! I would love to hi. Cheers, Rick
Rick,
Thank you for writing and sharing!
I will apply multiple coats of T&T Danish Oil until it stops curing and dulling. Usually about 3-4 coats.
Happy Turning!
Kent
Kent, love your videos. I'm learning so much. I made a bowl exactly like this. I waited to add a because it was just too wet to sand, and it cracked. Question, after the linseed oil, did you sand any further after it dried? Also, did you add any additional finish over top. Thanks!
Great job Brad. Yes, you can sand it a bit, but best to wait until it thoroughly dries. Please subscribe. Happy Turning!
Thanks! Do you not show that I've subscribed? Shows on my end.
Thanks for such a great instructional video. How long does it take to dry once you have put the temporary coat of linseed oil on the greenwood bowl?
Love the bowl, hate the bark.
It's personal, I get it. ;) Happy Turning!
Beautiful work! You mentioned the moss/lichen on the bark; do you normally leave that in the final product or do you try to remove it?
I leave it, it's nature. ;) If it's living it will soon dry up and disappear. Happy Turning! Kent
Nice looking bowl, Kent. I've done a couple of live edge Black Cherry bowls, as well as several other species. I usually turn mine a bit thicker and sand to 320, then pack them in a container of fresh shavings. Then I weigh them weekly until they stop losing weight, then sand again and apply the finish. Do you get any deformity using your method? I usually have to flatten the bottom a bit after my bowl has been in a box or bag of shavings for several months. Tony
Tony,
It sound like you have this down. Yes, the bottoms need to be sanded smooth, but that usually about all that needs to be done. All the best to you and Happy Turning! Kent
I would love to see an update after it dries. How long will something like that take to dry? I just acquired a bunch of fresh logs of various species and I’m dying to get some finished bowls out of them but the dry time is intimidating.
Thanks. It'll be dry in a week or so because it's so thin. Don't let that wood dry, turn it now. You'd great benefit from my Understanding Green Wood course www.TurnAWoodBowl.com/green All the best to you and Happy Turning! Kent
I've not seen any videos specifically discussing how to minimize the expansion and contraction of turned wood. I know some disgruntled person will say"This bowl only lasted eight years and now it's cracked," which is absurd but ...
My biggest issue was not getting hit by the wings.
where was the symposium in fl, i missed it :(
The first live edge bowl I tried to make I made 2 mistakes. The first one is that I had dry wood, the second is the wood was hickory - very hard. The second bowl is cherry, but the walls are thicker than I wanted. the interrupted cut was really beating me up. I only have six chisels and only one bowl gouge. It is a Hurricane 1/2" M2, but the shaft is closer to 7/16". Need to get a heavier bowl gouge. Thanks for the tips on how to turn a live edge bowl.
Ray,
Thank you for writing and sharing! Just one more tool and you should be good. ;) All the best to you and Happy Turning! Kent
