Woodturning - The Emerging Bowl

In this video Harry and I will turn an emerging bowl from a slab of spalted sweet gum. I saw a demonstration by Stuart Batty where he turned a similar piece and figured I should give it a try. The finish used was Mahoney’s Walnut Oil. This is my entry for this months YTCCC2021 challenge of “Balance”.
I’ll begin by marking out some rough dimensions on where I want the bowl to be located. I then cut off a lot of this bulk on the bandsaw so the piece can be more balanced before mounting between centers on the lathe. I begin with the bottom of the piece facing the headstock and begin shaping what will be the top of the winged bowl. In the end I use a jamb chuck to secure the piece so that I can turn a round bottom on the piece.

Nothing like watching a man play with his wood.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

It's even better when a Harry Beaver's involved...

Thanks Richard!

[@SteveC38]

Nice Job Hodge!

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thank you Steve C!

[@carsonwells1785]

You obviously harbor no phobias associated with scale. But when you first dreamed of turning that bowl, did you dream in Technicolor with full surround sound?😇. I for one would definitely have second thoughts of something flying around that far from the machine centerline, but I'm glad you didn't. Your video was awesome to watch and you ended up with a remarkable bowl that I could not have even imagined. Does anybody know where I can pick up an horizon stretcher? I need one badly. Thank you for sharing your vision, time and talent with us. I will be looking forward to your next video.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks for the kind remarks! I can't claim the credit for the design myself. I saw Stuart Batty turn a similar design and figured I'd give it a try!

[@rottiwoodturning6184]

nice work!

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks so much!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Very cool. Had a hard time figuring where you were going for a while. Finally got my bearings. Really enjoyed the video. Good to see you back in the shop. Great bowl.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Doug!

[@TournageDubois]

Another amazing piece, Harry.... oops, I mean Hodge. Love the transition and the finished product! Keep it up!!!

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks bud!

[@lakeshorewoodturner5136]

Beautiful bowl Robert. Very unique design.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks! Can't take credit for the idea. I saw it done by Stuart Batty.

[@williamellis8993]

Looks great, Robert. Really good job on it. Take care.
Bill

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks alot Bill!

[@jackthompson8019]

I don’t know what to say. Very interesting. I would be afraid of those wing spinning around. Well done Robert.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

After some practice you get used to it!

[@HeckingtonArts]

Beautiful piece of timber Robert and a great job

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Yes I'm lucky to be well stocked with more of this wood!

[@GavSedae]

Nice work Hodge, beautiful timber

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Gav!

[@stevecassidy3222]

I've always been a fan of the transition from heartwood to sapwood and what character it can put into a piece (I also love splated wood). The shape you chose shows both off perfectly. Another great piece, Robert

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Steve, I felt he same way!

[@jimgramstad3604]

Nice, great video. What did you finish with? Oil?

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Yes, I used Mahoney's Walnut Oil on the piece. Thanks for watching!

[@cferinga1]

What live center are you using? Thanks for your videos

[@BrickhouseCraftWorks]

Welp, I want to be irritated cause you beat me to it…..but I can’t cause that was absolutely brilliant!
I saw that same demo and was just biding my time before I made my attempt! 😂
Seriously though, you knocked that one out of the park! Well done man!

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Haha, don't you hate when that happens! You should definitely give it a go!

[@stephanielovatt2787]

Interesting! I have seen emerging bowls before, but this one certainly has the largest "platform" I have seen! I thought, for a moment, that the jam chuck might become a lid for the bowl, it was fitting so beautifully, but.. Maybe another time.
Well done! It would have taken quite some careful positioning to avoid being cut by the platform, it was so large.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks for watching Stephanie! Yes live got to make sure to keep our hands away from the spinny bits!

[@RubenWoodcraft]

Beautiful. Perhaps a chips and dip tray, bowl, thing?

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Haha, not too sure this piece has a function!

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Long turn, but worth the effort required.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Valerie! It was a fun project!

[@williamswhistlepipes]

Have you ever thought about trying a younger beaver Harry seems to be getting on a bit.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

I've had a look for ones online but they just don't have the charm that Harry does.

[@williamswhistlepipes]

@@HodgePodgeWoodWorks 😂😂😂😂😂😂 better the devil you know……. Great work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Dore60]

👍

[@OldMtnGeezer]

You lost me with the first note of music. I don't know of anyone who pulls up wood turning videos to listen to tunes.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

That's a great point, in my recent videos I have no longer been adding music.
