Woodturning - American Black Walnut Fruit Bowl
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Air dried for over 20 years, this solid block of American Black Walnut is turned into a graceful wooden fruit bowl with a coved base.
In the context of this video, a fruit bowl or wooden fruit bowl is a wide shallow wood bowl for the purpose of displaying fruit or other non-perishable food. I wouldn’t use a bowl like this to serve or eat any moist or liquid foods such as salad or soup. Although, one could if you really wanted to.
In my opinion, a wood bowl like this is more decorative than utilitarian. Utility wood bowls usually have a deeper profile. This is of course, just an opinion. Feel free to agree or disagree as you please.

Everyone has their own way of doing things. No arguing with the end result.
Thanks for watching again Lois. I agree, there is no single way of doing things. Ordinarily I wouldn’t bother adding a block to the bottom of a bowl. However, this blank was too valuable and too thin for me to waste any wood turning a chuck tenon on the bottom.
I won’t hesitate to use this adhesive combo again. Although I will be dealing with the glue squeeze out differently. 😧
Great looking walnut bowl
Thank you! And thanks for watching and commenting again.
Good looking
Thank you @Glenn Provenzano, I do appreciate the compliment.
Very beautiful turn! That tenon idea was spectacular. Thanks for sharing your work with us! ❣️
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching.
I can’t claim waste blocks as my own idea. However, they are extremely useful when you don’t want to use up any of the ‘good’ wood making a chuck tenon.
Nice bowl Croacky. Seems you are experiencing some vibration issues, I had them too. One way to reduce vibrations is to start hollowing at the side and finish that part until final thickness before continueing with the central section of the bowl. Not my original idea but it does help.
That is a very interesting strategy for larger bowls. A strategy I’ll keep in mind. Thanks for posting it.
However, the vibration here was mostly me pushing the pace. This particular blank was extremely hard and dense and slower cuts probably would have left me with a cleaner surface.
I’m not sure if pursuing a smoother surface would have saved me any time on this bowl. The performance of 3M Cubitron discs often makes them the fastest option.
Fantastic finished bowl; looked smashing. Interesting comments about the epoxy adhesive; it made for an exciting watch at least. Enjoyed the video; thank you.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching. Next time I use this epoxy/filler combo I’m going to scrap off the squeeze out before the glue sets up. For obvious reasons . . . :-0
So funny. I'm working on a piece of black walnut just like this, today. I was wondering how well a glue on tenon would hold. I've seen some guys use CA glue as well. That turned out great.
You could probably get away with regular wood glue as well, if the mating surfaces were flat enough and you could apply adequate clamping pressure.
I used epoxy here because I knew neither the walnut or the tenon would be completely flat and the adhesive would have to bridge the gap. I’m still surprised at how hard and tough the filled epoxy was.
Thanks for commenting.
It turned out great! What vac chuck did you use?
Thanks!
The vacuum chuck used in this video is a Oneway 8” drum chuck with a Oneway Rotary Air Fitting on the outboard side of the headstock. I’ve updated the links in the description to include information about my vacuum chuck set up. Thanks for letting me know that info was missing.
