- Woodturning Apple Wood Bowl - Finish turning a twice-turned apple bowl that was roughed when green
A while back I picked up some apple logs from a local orchard. Some of them were pretty gnarly (and good candidates for resin!) but I had a few trunks that were of a decent diameter and were solid for the most part, though a bit soft in places. I rough turned a bowl from one of the bigger logs and stuck it in the converted dishwasher kiln for a few weeks. I didn’t record the rough turning but thought it would be fun to show the finish turning process. You can see how oval the bowl went when drying - so much in fact that I had to turn the tenon down to use the smaller 50mm jaws because I didn’t have enough wood left to get it back to round and carry on with the 100mm jaws. Fortunately I had enough thickness to complete the bowl and I’m pleased with how it turned out.
I’ll be making some modifications to my dishwasher kiln in the coming weeks. I’m using a 60w incandescent bulb for the heat source and the first load I dried in it came out perfectly. However, since that first load I’ve blown (2) 60w and (1) 40w bulb. A friend uses a humidity controller and is having good luck with it so I ordered one and am going to give it a shot. I’m picking up a load of green butternut this weekend and want to get it roughed and into the kiln as soon as I can. I’ll keep you posted 😃

Woodturning White Oak Crotch Bowl - The Flying Danger Bowl That Almost Got Away! ruclips.net/video/zupN3xl50os/видео.html
love your vids lisa the way you explain what your doing and the tone of your voice is very calming thank you allan uk
Thank you so much Allan, I’m glad you are finding them enjoyable 😊
Well done. Finish was right for the type of bowl.
Thanks Johnnie!
Very impressive Lisa 👏
Thanks Tim 😁
Really like this bowl. I am amazed that it didn’t crack. I also really like how the tried and true looks on the apple
Hi Scott, thanks for watching! I initially had great luck with my dishwasher kiln, but am going to redo the “mechanics” of it and add a humidity controller as I keep blowing the light bulbs. But I haven’t lost any to cracking yet - here’s hoping that continues 🤞
very nice, I love turning Apple... just subscribed Thanks
Thanks so very for the sub, I really appreciate it. Apple is a joy to turn, that’s for sure and I have a bunch left so there will be more projects in the future 😃
Great looking bowl
Thank you so much 😊
Looks very nice!👍🏻
Thanks James!
Very nice piece!
Thank you so much 😊
A centre finder may have helped you.returning can be trying,but the world loves a tryer well done.
I have 2 and didn’t think to see if it would help 🙄
Very nice work
Thanks Robert, I appreciate it 😊
Nice work!
Thank you Don!
It’s ok. Wonky bowls are the new round ones for 2021. Beautiful wood and patterns.
Hi Helen, thanks so much. I’ve really come to like wonky bowls 😊
Beautiful
Thanks Stu!
great job,i have learnt a lot from you,thank you
Thanks Mark, I’m glad you’re finding the videos helpful 😊
Beautiful bowl shape and color. I just subscribed.
Hi Paul, thanks so much for watching and subscribing - much appreciated! 😃
I dig the rim detail.
Thanks Robert 😊
I have a love-hate relationship with apple wood. I think it’s the prettiest wood I’ve worked with and most self destructive. It really likes to move as it dries. Good job.
Hi there, thanks for watching! This is the first time I’ve turned apple and I have a bunch of it, but mostly larger branches. I got a trailer load from on orchard after they did their thinning out and so they weren’t very big trees but I figured it was good to practice on. It sure is pretty and there’s chips & shavings for smoking!
Beautiful work, Lisa.
Hi Rick, thank you so very much. I really do appreciate it! 😊
fantastic
Thank you so much 😀
Really enjoying watching your journey, as a novice it's nice to see your efforts and listen to your lessons as you learn along the way.
Thank you 😁
Love the apple wood. I’m still impressed how much really green wood moves/warps as a result of drying. It seemed so thick when you started and you barely had enough material to finish dimension. Nice piece.
Hi Adam! Yes, it’s pretty crazy - some species seem to move more than others. I have a few blanks I roughed out really early on in my turning journey that I didn’t leave enough to get round once they dried, but the Big Green Monster walnut bowl that I turned green has only gone oval about 1/2” total and warped really evenly
I too struggle with truing up a rough turned bowl as some cuts come to me more natural than others. Good thing I have plenty to practice with! You did a great job and I’ll be using some of your tips to help me get better. Thanks, you just got a new subscriber.
Hi Dean, thanks for watching! I’m glad you’re finding things you can use here 😊
Must have been a very old Apple tree to provide such a large beautiful bowl blank. Turned out to be a gorgeous bowl. 👍
Hi Duane, thanks for stopping by! I did get some nice big trunk pieces and so I’m getting decent sized bowls from them. I have a bunch left so there will definitely be more apple projects coming up 😃
Hi from Arizona. This bowl is so beautiful. Love the rim, coloring and the grain and shape. Job well done. Stay safe and well.
Hi Joalla, thank you so much! We’re hanging in here, you be safe out there as well 😊
Very nice! I look forward to the next project.
Thanks SueEllen! The oak burl and resin project is pretty cool and I’m hoping to get it up next week 😊
The bowl is beautiful. Love the grain in the apple wood
Hi Geneva, thanks so much for watching. I agree, the apple grain is lovely and I’m excited to use some of the branches I have in some upcoming resin projects. Apple trees are so gnarly-they make great candidates for resin. 😊
Epic! Lisa, you have crafted such an awesomely beautiful bowl. The grain, colour, spalting, and the shape (yes, even the rim detail) is what I can only hope to achieve.
Keep on turning.
Cheers, Bluey 👍
Awww, thank you so much for the kind words - I have a lot to learn but I feel like every project is a step in the right direction and I sure am having a lot of fun along the way. I’m picking up some fresh butternut this weekend and am really excited to get that on the lathe and roughed out-I’ve never worked with it before but I hear it’s lovely!
Great job. Nice watching you evolve into a true wood turner!! Keep the videos coming
Thanks Tony, that’s very kind of you to say. I’m definitely learning a ton with each project, and I’m so glad that you are enjoying the videos - they are also getting better 😉
Very nice Lisa, I would call that plain though, it has some interesting grain in it.
I may not have given this little apple bowl enough credit but the spaghetti swirl oak burl and the cherry burl that you’ll see in my next video are incredible as far as grain goes, so the apple had a tough act to follow 😉
As long as we improve as we go, every turn is a learning opportunity. I'm sure you'll do them justice, look forward to seeing what you do. I guess we're always hyper-critical of our own work.
Oh yeah, I’m definitely my own worst critic 🙄
Avery sweet bowl. Lovely, tho' I say it yourself! P
Thanks Pam 😁
Lovely bowl Lisa , I am a new subscriber from Canada and looking at your videos you make a variety of different items and I hope to watch most of them along with what you put on in the future! I like this variety because that is the type of turning I do and don't just stick to making bowls! Thanks!
Cheers Al
Hi Al, welcome! There are so many things to try I figure I’ll never run out of material 😃
Beautiful bowl great job
Thanks Rich!
Beautiful bowl Lisa! Love the grain in it!
Thank you Eric, it does have some interesting grain doesn’t it? 😊
Beautiful bowl!
Thanks! I’m really happy with it 😊
Great job such a out of shape bowl! Good looking grain in it!
Thanks so much! Most of the trunks/branches I got from the orchard are pretty old and gnarly-some are mostly solid wood and some are pretty punky but I’ll be able to make some really pretty pieces since Apple grows so squirrelly 😂
Lisa, it looked like you were sheer scraping by pulling your gouge. Pull cut basicly the same, just open the flute some more and hold the handle flatter to the tool rest. Otherwise, see Lyle Jamieson's channel, he is a master at it. Maybe after rough turning a piece, you should see the center point better, tap it with your awl. You might have been able to take your center finder and make a lot of marks on the tenon to get a better idea where the center should have been. There are a lot better turners that might have better tips about it though. Safe turning.
Hi Joseph, thanks for watching and for the tip! I have actually watched almost all of Lyle's videos and the one on the pull cut multiple times. I understand what I'm SUPPOSED to do, I just can't actually seem to do it! Instead of Anchor, Bevel, Twist, Cut, I go Anchor, Bevel Twist, Catch 🙄. I learned from this to make sure the dimple is super obvious!
When we create is the goal to make it appear as if created by a machine so it is dimensionally perfect? Or is the goal to create imperfect beauty so that it gives evidence, and hence meaning, to the word “handcrafted”?
I’m definitely in the “defects = handrafted” group.
👏👏👏👏🙏❤ parabéns que Deus te abençoe sempre vc.
😊
Nice..how much these sell for
Hi. I am fairly new to turning, what is a “pole cut”?
Pull cut - it’s a bevel-rubbing cut with the nose of the gouge trailing the handle, rather than leading the way as with a push cut. I just can’t get the hang of it without it catching on me 🤷♀️
So I do push cuts and use scrapers instead 😁👍
How can you say Apple is kinda plain😮 I think it's the most beautiful wood I've used so far😍 And this one does not disappoint ! It is wonderful; a real beauty Lisa and you gave it a fitting form👍 I love the piece😃 Stay safe. -Mike😷
p.s. Question: Do you think a center finder would be able to mark a best-fit center and be helpful ?
Hi Mike! You have to keep in mind that I have 2 projects going on at the moment - this lovely apple bowl and a piece of oak burl with some crazy beautiful grain that I cast with some resin and it’s really hard to compete with that!
Yes, I probably should have used the center finder again, it might have gotten me closer. I need to remember to make a deep dimple and maybe hit it with a sharpie for good measure! 😂
@@LisaRamlow Nah, I just love the reds in the apple *so much* ... and a burl is more than ordinary wood grains; Always!
I have a bunch of apple pieces with some crazy funky bark that I’m going to cast with some resin - they have some really amazing coloring and I think they’ll be pretty fantastic vase blanks 😃
@@LisaRamlow Here's hoping they turn out well 😃
That's a very nice piece of work Lisa. You also gave a very good explanation of your considerations while on the job.
My rule of thumb for green turning is to leave 10% of the diameter as my wall thickness. This bowl appeared to be well in that range but you could see the warping very well when you started working on the inside. It was indeed considerable.
All in all a result that you can be proud of. One more question if I may: What do you do with all these finished bowls?
/Leo
Hi Leo, thank you. I shoot for the 10% thickness and most times it works out - I did have one bowl from the first load out of the kiln that I ran out of thickness on, though it was a smaller bowl and I may have taken it just a bit too thin. I think it was oak, not sure if the species plays a role in shrinkage or not but I would think so.
I am currently selling (most of) my work in a couple of local gift shop/galleries. I have a website and plan to sell there as well but I still need to finish building it and getting it updated and that has somehow fallen to the bottom of my to-do list. One of these days I’ll get it straightened out! 😊
Nothing worse than a wonky bowl... ;) Nice job !
I know, right!? 😂
Pretty happy I was able to turn the wonky out. Thanks so much for watching!
What exactly is the definition of a burl?
Hi Robert, I’m not sure of the technical definition but basically a burl is formed when a tree sustains some sort of injury or disease - I believe the tree tries to heal around it and the resulting grain is all kinds of crazy!
