I have collected wood for many years and have now found the time to turn wood again. It is a very detailed and instructive video. Most of my wood is stored in my car garage. It is open air dried and need a twice turning. So thank you Kent.
I am a Brazilian guy in love with wood turning. It's very helpful and very informative your Chanel . Thanks a lot for your dedication to videos production
I like the fact that you explain as you go, and that you use real time, not fast forward, thank you. I'm new here and you've already helped me a lot thanks. Judy from Calif.
As a journeyman machinist for 35 years there were some tricks we used to cut back on chatter that gets translated to your worked surfaces. Here is one, but there are many. Put a vibration damper in your bowl when pressure holding it doing the outside. I would experiment with the right size old sofa cushion foam stuffed inside the bowl. It might give you a finer finish needing less sanding. I would try it but am disabled from a hand surgery to restore damage when a heavy piece of metal fell on my hand using the lathe. Thanks so much for your fine videos. I look forward to using my hands again working with wood. You are a good teacher. an inspiration for me to work through the pain to get my hand functional.
Real new to turning. Got a piece of Ambrosia Maple to make a large bowl. It was so wet. Left it real thick and place it in a paper bag filled with very dry shaving from the day before. I weighed the piece and will check it weekly. I learned a lot from this video. Thanks
Hi Kent, I've probably made 100 bowls from green wood but I quit making bowls about 15 years ago. I've still got all my equipment and my shop but it looks like you have got me interested again. At 77 it's not too late to start again. I've bought many training videos on DVD, but you've got the best. Thanks for a great video. Gerald Stowers Sr
I'm not a bowl turner, unfortunately I don't have the equipment or space. Thinking about getting into when I move into a larger home hopefully with a garage. Watching your craft is therapeutic. Can actually watch this all day and have. Thank you
Well done sir! I wish this video had been available about 4yrs back when I was struggling to learn how to complete the 2nd turning of a twice turned bowl. For some reason - I was not able to find anyone spending time on this subject and very important skill/step towards completion. I like to watch well done videos (such as yours) that are aimed at the novice turner because it reinforces the good things that I am doing and helps me better understand some of the trouble spots I still have. THANK YOU!
As a brand new wood turner, I have gained so much from each of your videos I have watched. I love the details and the way you explain the "how" and the "why" on each session. Thank you Kent for all you are doing to advance the art of wood turning. I too would be interested in a sanding video from you.
Hi Kent. Just wanted to say thank you for all these videos. I started on the lesson for sharpening the tools, it's amazing! Unfortunately I had to take time off l due to death in the family, but can't wait to start up again and get to the next premium class! You are indeed incredible at teaching and as an artist. Thank you again so much!
when I do undercuts I stand on the opposite side of the lathe. You give out more awesome information then most anyone. My lathe is a Grizzly 3077. Love turning very large bowls out of very large Manzanita stumps. Just turned a burl that weighed 38 pounds to start.
I have a half dozen bowls that I rough-turned about 6 years ago. Life got in the way of final turning but now the time has come to finish them. I haven't turned at all in the interim so I was a little worried about messing up--one is a beautiful big piece of cherry, probably a foot across and 5 inches deep--but tomorrow I can follow the order of your steps and it should go well. So thanks!
Great video. Turned my first dozen green bowls about 3 months ago and was looking for some guidance on how to twice turn them. Feel confident, after watching this to go for it tomorrow. I so much appreciate your content. Thanks Reiner
just found you! since all the local clubs, stores, and NC State have shut down their classes, i am learning to turn from videos and am glad i found your videos and website. you have a nice easy manner of explaining - a great combination of visual and verbal. thanks!
I like the big so-called jam chuck. I'll make mine in a few days. And, yes, I plan to twice turn some bowls. I have some donated carob, oak and elm that is currently drying in my storage shed. I also have three green-turned thick blanks I bought from a friend who can't sell during COVID so he needed to drop inventory. On those I will be doing the second turning. After I build the jam chuck, of course.
Yes my freind I will be twice turning bowls.. very informative videos, your entire library is great .. I have recently acquired a new lathe and your videos have een instrumental to my successful trurnings right from start!! Thank you for your great instructional videos. Keep the good stuff coming MR ! 😁👍
John Sackett Love the video have watched it several times, and since your video I have twice turned six bowls from Holly tree, did a 3 bowl set as a wedding gift for one of my granddaughters last month. Thanks, Kent, for your help in explaining every step as you go and the inspiration you provide. Three major Hollywood Bowls, now six, not bad!
hello kent. I am happily a follower of yours and in Latin America many of us follow your videos thanks to the fact that they are always available with subtitles. It would be great a video about the first tools for bowls focused on the economic but really functional because it is difficult to get tools here and most of us order them from the US but they are very expensive, and even more because of the import costs. Thank you so much for everything
Thanks for watching. Check this video out, perhaps it will help ruclips.net/video/IB7HSTwXfiQ/видео.html Thanks and All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Great video. I've turned dozens of twice turned bowls, and was glad to see that the way I do them is very similar to your method. Thanks for all your work.
I am presently working on sets of twice turned nesting bowls that I have cored and are drying in my cellar, so this is a timely video. I find it much easier to finish off the inside bottom of bowls by switching to a 60 degree gouge. Looking forward to your sanding video. They say woodworking is 80% sanding and 20% fun.
Excellent videos Kent! You make that pull cut look easy but it has been disastrous for me. Lots of gouges. Thanks for showing it in detail on this video! Practice, practice, practice for me.
Hey this is BC you make it look so easy and I can't wait until it warms up so I can play but I know my bowl not going to look like yours. But as as long as it looks like a bowl I '' be happyalso can't wait to receive my replacement tee shirt so I can wear it your talking about shear cut. thanks kent.
Great job on your videos. Yes I'll be twice turning on my wet wood, and once turning on the dry stuff I just got from an estate of a turner that had a barn size shop full of wood that sat for 25 years.
I have just acquired a load of fresh cut sycamore and turned two bowls from it. My left sleeve was wet from spray when I had finished. The bowls are resting in their shavings at the moment but tomorrow I will seal the ends. It is lovely turning wet wood, the shavings come off like a stream from a hose. My next stop is drying wet bowls with a microwave. BTW An American football is similar shape to a rugby ball used by the rest of the World.
@@TurnAWoodBowl rugby is like American football with no armour, fewer breaks and more blood. Try it here ruclips.net/video/t4SuxxH8Olo/видео.html This is the gentlemen’s version, Rugby League is for the ruffians (more blood).
I started turning in spring of this year with just pens. After watching your videos all I've been doing are bowls. A couple standard and a couple live edge, now i have 4 roughed out bowls waiting to dry! Keep the videos coming.
You remind me of my high school shop teacher ( a very good and caring man). He introduced me to the lathe some 40 years ago, but I’d only flirt with the lathe every couple of years. I’ve rediscovered this long lost love, and I’m relearning lots of old skills. Consequently, I appreciate your well prepared and informative videos.
so im looking to get into wood turning and am saving for a lethe. ive been watching a bunch of turning videos with all the other videos you sir are the only one that tells how and why to hold a tool a certain way. please keep it up. awesome details
Thanks Kent. I echo others' comments that this video was very clear, helpful, and informative. I will try it because I understand that the twice turning method is actually the fastest way to get final, perfectly round bowls from green wood. I got some green magnolia from a neighbor's yard and have already done the first turning. I left one too thick, and it cracked; but the others that I turned the walls to about 10% of total diameter are doing well. Maybe I'll try your microwave trick.
Great video, and I appreciate you sharing, you are a TEACHER, and I am your student. Every woodtuner can learn so much by watching you, if they pay attention. Thanks again.
Enjoyed the videos I’ve seen so far, supported grain and riding the bevel great explanations will work on these new techniques. Will be back for more help. Great job
I just caught you're videos recently. I'm hooked on your ability to teach sound, basic principles. Thank you so much for your efforts in contributing your knowledge. This was an awesome turning video and an absolutely beautiful bowl. Thanks again!!!!!
I find your videos informative and instructive. I often watch you turn then go to my lathe to try to duplicate a cut that you have mastered. Sometimes it takes several tries to get the feel of it.
I like that jam-chuck. I have a bowl once turned that looks like yours. That jam-chuck will help be fix the tenon. Plan to make one soon. Cherry bowl turned out great. Looks good. Thanks
Thanks Kent for another informative video. The gapped faceplate jam chuck you used to true up the tenon will be my next project. I’ve been using a block jam chuck, similar to the one you used to remove the tenon near the end of the video, but I think the uneven faceplate may work better, I’ll have to try it. Thanks for the idea. Stay safe and well so you can keep the info flowing. Cheers, Tom
I like to species label my first turned and date them. Then I place them in my dry unheated shed for at least a year. Had pretty good success of about 90 to 95% not cracking. Normally I leave the wall thickness at no less than 1" even on 8" diameter bowls but 10% on bigger ones.....Ron Cumpsty .
Thanks for the video, you're an excellent teacher! So great i found your lesson just in the middle between first and second turn of my first-ever twice turning project. The idea of a big platform with rubber pads for refining a tenon is brilliant, will definitely use it. Greetings from Russia :)
Always exciting seeing your videos pop up! Very practical and easy to understand. Very informative and helpful. I have not wanted to double turn before now. This helps!
I live in Southern New Mexico. Mostly softwoods. I have been successful with some dried mulberry as far as something hard. Also Desert willow. We recently had a storm that toppled trees. I picked up some green mulberry and weeping willow. Will try the twice turned bowls. Thank you for your videos. Really enjoy learning from them.
I like to turn larger pieces and I pack the in the curls from the turning and wait until dry. S I have many boxes in the shop with the information as to what is inside and when it was rough turn. thank you I do enjoy your vedios.
Hi Kent, I did some turning years past and am excited to get back into it at 80years young. You are the best instructor on all wood turners on you tube!! You do an excellent job on explaining Everything ,thank you. Is there a way to get a list of all your videos and classes that you offer? I am excited to turn again and I know I can WITH YOUR HELP!! God’s speed!! Gerry

Kirk, I love your "Turnawoodbowl Videos.' I am presently doing a set of four bowls from wet green Holly wood from a neighbor friend. So I am learning about drying the wet first turned bowls in the micro wave keeping records on each bowl. One of my granddaughters is getting married Dec. 29th so I am hoping I can dry the wood enough to do the twice turning early December to present them as a wedding gift. A 12", 10" and two 7" all food safe with danish oil for use as a salad bowl or popcorn, etc. I've used the end grain sealer after I turned each bowl green on the end grain to help minimize the distortion as they dry. I think it is helping. I left the 12' bowl almost 1 1/2" thick and I am wondering if I can trim it back a bit to speed up its drying time, I've been dring it for a week now it started at 6lb 6 oz and is now down to 4lb. 14 oz. any thoughts?
John, great question. As I say often, it all depends on the wood species and your conditions. There are several things to consider. Have you turned any of this holly completely yet? How much is it deforming as it drys? If the holly isn't deforming much then you may be ok. The 12" bowl first-turn 10% diameter could be 1-1/4" thick walls but you're already very close to that. The idea behind the 10% wall thickness is to leave enough material to have a complete final thin wall. If the bowl turns to an oval and you true up the exterior, there needs to be enough "meat" inside at the thinnest areas of that oval. If not, you'll turn through the wall on the interior turnings. I think you have plenty of time, I'd keep cycling the bowl through the microwave for another week or so and you will probably see their weights "come in for a landing" and stabilize. Hope that helps. All the best to you and your fantastic wedding gift!! Happy Turning!
Really enjoyed this one Kent, very informative. I like how you explain each stage of turning. I also learnt what a true pull cut is, one that a lot of turners believe they are doing when in reality they are using a scraping cut.
sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the login password. I appreciate any help you can give me
@Morgan Parker i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Nice job, very informative and extremely helpful. I appreciate your attention to explaining the attitude of the tool to the work. As a new wood turner that detail is extremely important. I'm sure that it becomes second nature after some time but I find it crucial to learning the art. Thanks.
Two questions for you Kent. 1; what caliper were you using to check the wall depth and 2; where do you get your tuners smock. P.S. Thanks for the video. I really appreciate your concise information as you turn a project, it's really informative and helpful for this newbie, and I am sure for a lot of others.
Very nice. By the 38 Minute mark I normally would have switched to a bottom gouge. I find it much easier and smoother. Also why do you use Danish Oil when you could just purchase the linseed oil. I think the Danish oil has additives to help drying and is not just Linseed oil. I have been using Tung oil for the last year or so, but will have a go with Mahoney's oil at least while the bottle lasts.
Great question! The Tried and True Danish Oil has zero additives and is polymerized linseed oil. As far as I know they are one of the only companies that makes Danish Oil this way and it's fantastic. And about the bowl gouge, my main gouge is a 55° swept back bevel and it gets down in the bottom very well. I will jump to my micro-bevel on deeper or narrower bowls. Thanks and Happy Turning!
Excellent in every way. I'm a beginner and excited because I've just come into a huge cherry root that I'm going to chop up tomorrow. To do it justice I intend to follow your methods closely. I already cut, sanded and oiled one small root and it looks gorgeous. I had no idea roots could be turned, too.
Love the vids and yes I’m def going to turn twice turned bowls! Honestly that’s all I really turn, I’m a tree guy (arborist)! I usually bring a few pieces home from work just about every day! I am def running out of room cus i love to turn green wood, well who doesn’t, but I have so many roughed out bowls, that I def need to finish, but I love roughing them out so much more then finishing them! Oh and I would also like to see a vid about your sanding process!
My sister just had some cottonwood trees cut down. I'm doing two large 12"+ blanks as twice turned bowls. They were so wet they were like standing next to a water sprinkler on the lathe. :-) In several months I'll find out how it goes on the second turning.
Keep those puppies moist for awhile so they can "calm down." Cottonwood cracks like crazy and you want to ease the drying process from high moisture too low to prevent cracking. Use a paper bag and mist them periodically. All the best to you. Happy Turning!
I have collected wood for many years and have now found the time to turn wood again. It is a very detailed and instructive video. Most of my wood is stored in my car garage. It is open air dried and need a twice turning. So thank you Kent.
Glad it was helpful, Eric! Happy Turning!

Very welcome. Excellent. If you have enough wood, try turning two bowls each (one once and one twice) with the same wood and compare the results.
Great video, and I appreciate you sharing, you are a TEACHER, and I am your student. Every woodtuner can learn so much by watching you, if they pay attention. Thanks again.
Wow, thank you!
Enjoyed the videos I’ve seen so far, supported grain and riding the bevel great explanations will work on these new techniques. Will be back for more help. Great job
Glad it was helpful! Happy Turning!
I just caught you're videos recently. I'm hooked on your ability to teach sound, basic principles. Thank you so much for your efforts in contributing your knowledge. This was an awesome turning video and an absolutely beautiful bowl.
Thanks again!!!!!
Awesome, thank you so much! Happy Turning!
I'm new to this craft, so thank you so much for all the great information. I love how beautiful the Cherry Wood TT Bowl turned😉😉 out.
Thank you so much! Welcome and Happy Turning!
I find your videos informative and instructive. I often watch you turn then go to my lathe to try to duplicate a cut that you have mastered. Sometimes it takes several tries to get the feel of it.
Thank you. Happy Turning!
I like that jam-chuck. I have a bowl once turned that looks like yours. That jam-chuck will help be fix the tenon. Plan to make one soon. Cherry bowl turned out great. Looks good. Thanks
Thanks 👍
Thanks Kent for another informative video. The gapped faceplate jam chuck you used to true up the tenon will be my next project. I’ve been using a block jam chuck, similar to the one you used to remove the tenon near the end of the video, but I think the uneven faceplate may work better, I’ll have to try it. Thanks for the idea. Stay safe and well so you can keep the info flowing. Cheers, Tom
Hello Thomas, thanks for the comment! Please let me know what you think of this spaced jam chuck after you build and use yours. Happy Turning!
Thank you your videos are so helpful for beginners like me
Happy to hear that! Glad to help! Enjoy!
Hey Kent, good information as usual. Thanks
Thanks for watching
I like to species label my first turned and date them. Then I place them in my dry unheated shed for at least a year. Had pretty good success of about 90 to 95% not cracking. Normally I leave the wall thickness at no less than 1" even on 8" diameter bowls but 10% on bigger ones.....Ron Cumpsty .
That's a great way to do it, slow and steady. Happy Turning!
Thanks for the video, you're an excellent teacher! So great i found your lesson just in the middle between first and second turn of my first-ever twice turning project. The idea of a big platform with rubber pads for refining a tenon is brilliant, will definitely use it. Greetings from Russia :)
Glad it was helpful! Welcome and happy turning!
Always exciting seeing your videos pop up! Very practical and easy to understand. Very informative and helpful. I have not wanted to double turn before now. This helps!
Great to hear! I'm glad you like these. Thank you!
I live in Southern New Mexico. Mostly softwoods. I have been successful with some dried mulberry as far as something hard. Also Desert willow. We recently had a storm that toppled trees. I picked up some green mulberry and weeping willow. Will try the twice turned bowls. Thank you for your videos. Really enjoy learning from them.
You are welcome! Best of luck to you preparing your bowl blanks!
Awesome! You may it look so easy!! Thanks for all of your videos!
You are so welcome! You can do it!
Just found your videos.I’m a Newbe to turning great information and presentation excellent thank you
Welcome! I hope you learn a ton. Enjoy and Happy Turning!
Very nice idea. I have not seen this before. Thanks so much for the info.
You are so welcome!
I like to turn larger pieces and I pack the in the curls from the turning and wait until dry. S I have many boxes in the shop with the information as to what is inside and when it was rough turn. thank you I do enjoy your vedios.
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing! All the best to you and Happy Turning!

I love tried and true danish oil. Great video brother thank you!
My pleasure, thank you!
Thanks for the information while you are turning it’s great to see how and why the gouge is handled in different ways
Thanks for watching!
I like this shape a lot.
Congrats with 30K!
You deserve more 👍😄
Thank you so much 😀 Happy Turning!
As others have already said, this is a highly informative video on twice-turning bowls. I appreciate the detail; thank you.
Nicholas, you are welcome. Thank you for writing and Happy Turning!
Kirk, I love your "Turnawoodbowl Videos.' I am presently doing a set of four bowls from wet green Holly wood from a neighbor friend. So I am learning about drying the wet first turned bowls in the micro wave keeping records on each bowl. One of my granddaughters is getting married Dec. 29th so I am hoping I can dry the wood enough to do the twice turning early December to present them as a wedding gift. A 12", 10" and two 7" all food safe with danish oil for use as a salad bowl or popcorn, etc. I've used the end grain sealer after I turned each bowl green on the end grain to help minimize the distortion as they dry. I think it is helping. I left the 12' bowl almost 1 1/2" thick and I am wondering if I can trim it back a bit to speed up its drying time, I've been dring it for a week now it started at 6lb 6 oz and is now down to 4lb. 14 oz. any thoughts?
John, great question. As I say often, it all depends on the wood species and your conditions. There are several things to consider. Have you turned any of this holly completely yet? How much is it deforming as it drys? If the holly isn't deforming much then you may be ok. The 12" bowl first-turn 10% diameter could be 1-1/4" thick walls but you're already very close to that. The idea behind the 10% wall thickness is to leave enough material to have a complete final thin wall. If the bowl turns to an oval and you true up the exterior, there needs to be enough "meat" inside at the thinnest areas of that oval. If not, you'll turn through the wall on the interior turnings. I think you have plenty of time, I'd keep cycling the bowl through the microwave for another week or so and you will probably see their weights "come in for a landing" and stabilize. Hope that helps. All the best to you and your fantastic wedding gift!! Happy Turning!
Really interesting thanks and yes I have a number of bowls to twice turn 😅
Love it! I have done one twice turn and did exactly what you said it would!
That is awesome! Happy Turning!
Really enjoyed this one Kent, very informative. I like how you explain each stage of turning. I also learnt what a true pull cut is, one that a lot of turners believe they are doing when in reality they are using a scraping cut.
Glad you enjoyed it
sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I appreciate any help you can give me
@Marcus Felix Instablaster :)
@Morgan Parker i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Morgan Parker It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
Thank you for the video. I'm a new turner and I've never tried turning twice but now I think I'll try it. Your bowl turned out beautiful!
Thank you and I think you'll enjoy the results of twice turning!
Very nice. The journey was interesting also.
Glad you liked!
Thank you.... Im soon getting a lathe.. im so exited... nice tutorial
Enjoy! Practice persistently and you will see good results!
Nice job, very informative and extremely helpful. I appreciate your attention to explaining the attitude of the tool to the work. As a new wood turner that detail is extremely important. I'm sure that it becomes second nature after some time but I find it crucial to learning the art. Thanks.
I'm glad the detail is helpful for you. Much appreciate your comment!
Thank you for the instructions,very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Very well explained , easy to follow , 👍 Brian Erwin NZ
Glad it was helpful, Brian! Happy Turning!
Great infomation
Thank you !
You're welcome, Jon!
Two questions for you Kent. 1; what caliper were you using to check the wall depth and 2; where do you get your tuners smock. P.S. Thanks for the video. I really appreciate your concise information as you turn a project, it's really informative and helpful for this newbie, and I am sure for a lot of others.
Very nice. By the 38 Minute mark I normally would have switched to a bottom gouge. I find it much easier and smoother.
Also why do you use Danish Oil when you could just purchase the linseed oil. I think the Danish oil has additives to help drying and is not just Linseed oil. I have been using Tung oil for the last year or so, but will have a go with Mahoney's oil at least while the bottle lasts.
Great question! The Tried and True Danish Oil has zero additives and is polymerized linseed oil. As far as I know they are one of the only companies that makes Danish Oil this way and it's fantastic. And about the bowl gouge, my main gouge is a 55° swept back bevel and it gets down in the bottom very well. I will jump to my micro-bevel on deeper or narrower bowls. Thanks and Happy Turning!
Fantastic, Thank you!
Thank you, Flappy. Happy Turning!
Excellent in every way. I'm a beginner and excited because I've just come into a huge cherry root that I'm going to chop up tomorrow. To do it justice I intend to follow your methods closely. I already cut, sanded and oiled one small root and it looks gorgeous. I had no idea roots could be turned, too.
Wonderful! All the best to you! Happy Turning!
Muy buen trabajo e y buena Instrucción
muchas gracias. Feliz giro
Love the vids and yes I’m def going to turn twice turned bowls! Honestly that’s all I really turn, I’m a tree guy (arborist)! I usually bring a few pieces home from work just about every day! I am def running out of room cus i love to turn green wood, well who doesn’t, but I have so many roughed out bowls, that I def need to finish, but I love roughing them out so much more then finishing them!
Oh and I would also like to see a vid about your sanding process!
That is awesome! What is the best tree you have brought home? Here's how I sand the bowls ruclips.net/video/cPA55pqozFs/видео.html Happy Turning!
My sister just had some cottonwood trees cut down. I'm doing two large 12"+ blanks as twice turned bowls. They were so wet they were like standing next to a water sprinkler on the lathe. :-) In several months I'll find out how it goes on the second turning.
Keep those puppies moist for awhile so they can "calm down." Cottonwood cracks like crazy and you want to ease the drying process from high moisture too low to prevent cracking. Use a paper bag and mist them periodically. All the best to you. Happy Turning!
Excellent as usual. I would be interested in your doing a sanding video.
Thanks, Al, I'll put a sanding video on the list. Check! ;)
