That turned out awesome John! 👍🏻 Had a few laughs along the way too! 😁 Loved the bandsaw laser lol! Not sure on the glue being too thin! I use it sometimes but also use gorilla glue too! Glad you’re feeling better and can’t wait for another video! Thanks for sharing your work! #1000subsforjohn
Thanks! I bought a new bandsaw blade before the end of the video, it was startlingly sharp! It cut the Osage orange so differently. Thanks for watching and commenting Bill
John, you did a really nice job with this. I was going to suggest that you do the cut on the bandsaw but you said that your saw isn’t quite large enough. I guess all I can say is that you need to plan for that step. I will have to plan for my round bowl to be no more than 5” tall so that I can use the bandsaw. You did a fine job. Top tip: Nothing is unrecoverable.” It May not be worth it at the moment, but down you may dream up a great recovery project. Thanks for sharing this. And welcome to the Ack’s family.
Hey Doug! Thanks for the feedback. I have an 18” bandsaw on my wishlist! This one definitely is was in uncharted territory for me. I want to continue to push my turning skills. So I wasn’t exactly sure of the process beyond cutting in half after I turned it…hahaha! Thank you for watching!
Well you got through it and it looks great in the end. Not all projects go smoothly and just adapting to what is happening is something we all need to do. This will not necessarily be of any help for what you did but it reminds of all the patterns I built at work where I glued them up in halves. So when it was done I had two pieces that looked alike which you were looking for. Sometimes they were booked end to end as well. As far as cutting something in half I would make a special fixture to hold it. For what you have I would have framed it with flat sides that were hot glued in place. This would let me rotate the piece and keep it indexed. Plus a way to measure the exact center. Might sound complex but it is not. Plus I would know I would get what I was looking for. It could be cut on the table saw but I would do it on the band saw. And I know yours was not tall enough. My Titebond lll is very thick and very slimy. I doubt I will buy anymore when this is one. Nice finished project and who ever wins will be very happy. Gary
Yeah, after I saw how those pieces came apart, first thing I thought of was some kind of jig to hold piece. But, live and learn! Thank you for watching and commenting Gary!
Sure thing. I tend to think of fixtures because I made so many to hold odd pieces and also just to set something up to locate positions. I continue doing similar things after I retired.
What patience and skill! My dad loved woodworking…great turnout of the Easter basket!
Thank you! It was a fun turn :)

That turned out really well, I like that!
Thanks Tom!
