Woodturning - Finding the Beauty of Walnut

This was a real joy to make. I went back to the basics on this project. Nothing fancy, other than just wanting to bring out the beauty of some walnut. So, here you go. I hope your like it. Thanks for watching. --Dan

Very nice as usual! Love walnut-the way it takes a finish. Made a quilt platter like yours for sister a quilter. Watched & followed closely & glued one maple square on the wrong side of paduck & P.H. , told wife of problem & she thought she could make it work- no such luck. Put it in any way& told sis it was a humility block.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Yeah, I've done it too. Don't feel bad.

Absolutely beautiful, Dan. I just love that rim. I always know that when I see a notification that you've uploaded a video, I have to watch it as soon as I can. Stay safe and well. Bill

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

I appreciate that! Thank you for watching!

[@harrykeel8557]

Walnut is one of my favorite woods to turn. Last year I made a cake stand for one of my sisters in law. And it turned out great. I am not exactly sure what it is about walnut, but it is a beautiful wood like your bowl.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

I agree completely. I love walnut. Here is a gentleman in my area that found out that I donate most of my art to charity auctions. He asked that I come over to his barn so that he could give me some wood. To my great surprise, I came home with over 700 board feet of walnut! So, I've got it coming out of my ears. LOL! Thanks for watching.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Hi Joe! Thank you my friend!

[@theodorebarrettsr.705]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@DavidAdamsen]

Dan, great work! That is some incredible figure in that walnut! Maybe I missed it, but some of those pieces looked like they could have been English walnut? Not sure, lol. Cheers, my friend!

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Hi David! Thank you! This is domestic black walnut. A friend who owns a tree cutting service dropped off the trunks in my yard last year. Later today, he and his wife will be the proud owner of this bowl as a thank you from me. Take care friend! Keep up your great work! It makes my day when I get a new notification from your channel!

[@markfishburn8284]

That looks awesome, I have been trying my hand at segmented work. It doesn't look like that yet. Thank you for sharing.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

You can do it!

[@MattJordanWoodturning]

Top turning Dan 👌

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Thanks Matt!

[@robertroarke5585]

Beautiful work. Where do you get your signature coins?

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Thanks for watching. I order them from a local trophy shop . www.etch-art.com

[@lyndacarter5090]

Exquisite. Questions - have never seen a ball used to sand; what is it? Also, you have the best background music; could you put links to them? Would really appreciate that, if you could?

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Thanks for watching Lynda! It's called a sanding bumble bee. It has a velcro flat side which holds a 3 inch sanding disc. It works great for woodturning and protects your hand from heat. Also, I download music from www.epidemicsound.com. Their variety of music is awesome!

[@WesleyRobinson]

Dan, really like how you put the crotch on the top ring- smart thinking!

[@pettigrewwoodworks]

Just walnut. Just gorgeous!

[@cindyrichardson6084]

Dan, what thickness are you shooting for with these bowls?

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Hi Cindy, Depending on the size of the vessel, I'm normally anywhere between 3/16 to 3/8". Thanks for watching!

[@johnhuggins5021]

Hi, Dan. As usual, beautiful artwork!! Can you tell me where you get your clamping rings; maybe provide a link? Or did you in one of your many links here and I just missed it? Thank you.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Hi John, thanks for watching. I ordered the larger clamp rings off of eBay.

[@johnhuggins5021]

Okay, Thank you. A friend of mine suggested I go to McMaster-Carr. They sell all kinds of sizes.

[@user-xn8ww4ok3x]

Отличная РАБОТА!!! МОЛОДЕЦ!!!!

[@yvonnex123]

Excellent work. Did you make the Label Token inserted in the bottom?

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Thanks for watching. No, I buy those at a local trophy shop.

[@jefffoggymountainworkshop5021]

Really beautiful bowl Dan! Great variety in the grain too. When you make the rings, do you keep the segments in order as they are cut? Or is it just random?

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Thanks for watching Jeff! Sometimes. If I'm doing more than 12 segments per ring, the angle of cut is less and you can achieve a nice grain-match. With this walnut top ring, I basically just tried to keep the color tone together.

[@liammoore953]

I'm soon going to buy a wood lathe, any suggestions?

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

I like my Nova 1624 very much. It would be perfect for a entry level lathe and should continue to provide what you will need as you advance.

[@georgebrill3072]

Beautiful bowl.

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Thank you very much!
