Richard Raffan turns a wobble bowl from green casuarina

- My intention is to show the pace of turning a bowl. The camera doesn't move so you see this 220mm diameter round-bottomed bowl in real time, including how I save the centre using a slicer. I don't bore you with all the sanding as you can see how to sand green timber in • Richard Raffan hollows... .

Thank you for the really great video on turning a green bowl and microwaving it. Thank you!
I learn something new every time, and if it’s NOT new, something gets reinforced from earlier videos.
Thank you, sir.
Oh yeah: awakened at 4:30 this morning so I could watch it! A small price to pay.
I tried similar with eucalyptus but it split as well as twisted, so finished it off by charring it to get even more warp and split. Both bowls were the first sold at the local craft fair. Going to try again with wood that has a more even grain. I like your demo stuff. No nonsense common sense advice. Thank you.
That looks very nice, just like in your books ! Skilful turning & good grammar. Thanks you.
Fantastic job as always! I can't get enough of your videos. Always learn something, I just wish I had more time on the lathe. Looking forward to your next video.
Great lesson Richard.
Another very instructive video. Really like the way you show the beading process. The process you use to core out the blank looks to be a much more affordable approach than some of the coring jigs. The casuarina seems to have some of the same features as flaming box elder.
Box elder is pretty bland compared to the casuarinas and any pink or other coloration soon fades. In contrast, casuarinas have striking medullary rays and are generally much harder so tougher to turn. They're also more likley to split, but are usually worth the effort.
Very nice. Thanks Richard.
Thank You, Richard!
That's so cool. I always thought she oak too prone to splitting. I'm off to find me an old microwave
Casuarinas are prone to splitting which means they can also distort a lot, which makes them ideal for this sort of bowl.
Very nice Richard,thanks for sharing,cheers Colin.
A lovely piece, with a lovely grain. Very vivid while it was green, I have to say, even more so than the ash and claret ash you have turned here. Is there a rule of thumb for the length of time you should put a piece in the microwave. For that I have... a hairdryer. Had me grinning at the 'big reveal' of specialist tools. (and the drying rig too.) Many thanks once more for another instructive video.
I've no rule to follow given there is so much variation one piece to another regards the volume of wood, the percentage of moisture in the wood, and the microwave oven being used. I experiment with each run of bowls. As a VERY rough guide, a 150x75mm bowl with a wall 3mm thick will get 90 seconds initially, but I'll but that short if I hear it crack or smell it heating. Large , thicker, bowls like this get longer. First time in the oven, I want them coming out of the oven steaming.
I love this piece.
Do you have any links or information about the Czechoslovakia brand you mentioned? If they are confident enough to send you some tools, and you like them, there is no reason for me not to check them out.
I Googled: www.truhlarime.cz/core-woodturning-tools-c140/?prod=16
What was the tool you used to core the bowl. Will this technique work on all woods like oak, maple, pecan. Is there any safety concerns to watch out for
The coring tool is a slicer. This is a short introduction: th-cam.com/video/P2XQ8TSYNMw/w-d-xo.html. The chief thing to guard against are the larger bits flying out. Green wood is uually easier to turn than dry.
I learn so much from you . Thanks! Could you elaborate about the "slicer" you used to core out the smaller blank please? This was the first I ever have seen or heard of such a tool/technique

What a beautiful design. You did very well.😃😃
As always another great video. I have learnt so much from your turning videos.
Thanks 👍
Hi everyone,
I have got an issue with my bandsaw blade performance and would love to hear what you have to say!
To begin with, I have sharpened my 4tpi (2240mm x 16mm x 0,65mm) blade with my bench grinder, just like Richard has shown on this channel. It worked out really well, however only when cutting into end grain - it’s cutting like butter when cutting end grain! Now the issue Im experiencing is following: When cutting cross grain, the blade will somehow jump forward into the wood and cause a bang every time. When I push a bit too hard, the blade will stop the 750W Motor and be stuck in the wood after a “Big Bang”. A very, very slow feed rate will eliminate the issue. I haven’t experienced those things with new rough blades nor with higher tooth counts like 7pti.
Is there someone having the same problem? Did you experience something like that with your blades Richard?
Looking forward to solve the issue!
It sounds as though the board you're cutting isn't flat so rocks as you push it into the blade. The blade grabbing isn't uncommon and it's a signal that something isn't secure, like the bandsaw table, or more likely that there's space between the table and the wood you're cutting. Also you're not going to reach many people on my TH-cam channel: this isn't this place for a general discussion and you'll get a wider response posting your questions in one of the groups.
Thanks for your response! The table is as tight and secure as it gets on my bandsaw. The wood is split with an axe and therefore not flat. But the bangs occur also when the blade is cutting supported like on flat boards. Which group do you mean ? I’m going to post it there!
@@thefaulenzer677 It's near impossible to answer questions like this without seeing the wood being cut. I'd try posting the quetion with a video. There's bound to be a bandsaw group that deal with that sort of thing. I suspect you're feeding the wood too fast for the blade you have but it's hard to tell without seeing it happen.
@@RichardRaffanwoodturning Alright, Im going to search the internet for such a group. I might upload a video as well.
Fantastic piece Richard. Great walk through as usual. I went back and watched the Beads on a Bowl to see the tool technique. I missed the rotation of the tool. Which explains my poor beads.
Thanks Richard love this style bowl. I also look up wood species when you mention a new one not native to the US and remember you using she-oak in the past. what kind for fragrance does it have it looks similar to pine.
The casuarinas are hardwoods. I've encountered them in California and Florida as Australian pine, people misled by the very thin leaves that look like pine needles. It doesn't have have the resinous smell of pines.
Looks fun. Very nice!
