Turning a Simple Wood Bowl on the Lathe but With Power Carved Texture!

- Опубликовано: 17 мар 2024
- Decided to just take it easy with this bowl and just show the process of how I turned this maple wood bowl with texture one afternoon a few weeks ago without speaking. I still remember the very first textured bowl I turned back in 2017 from a piece of poplar of all woods. I feel in love with the look of textured wood back then and it has been one of my favorite things to add to a bowl since. Here lately, I haven't done it as much as I would like but this bowl was some much needed motivation to get the grinder and burrs back out and start planning some future pieces!

Hello Andrew. It's really fun to watch you at work. You radiate a certain calmness that is almost meditative. You work carefully and thoughtfully, and you can see and feel that you know what you are doing at all times. The choice of woods you use is also great. The often wonderful grain and colors of the pieces are in harmony with the shapes you give them. Some wood turners create objects from ridiculously expensive, exotic types of wood that only look so good because it is this exceptional wood, and often not the design that impresses. The material steals the show from the artistic design. Your work from local woods is very down-to-earth and simple, so even small or few carved surface changes often work very well. The finish that you give the objects at the end also fits in with this, of course; no varnish or toxic epoxy, but wood oils and natural essences round off the emotional picture. I like it a lot and work with our local types of wood in almost exactly the same way and with just as much pleasure. I just miss the incredible calm that you radiate. But I'm working on it. I'm looking forward to more great, similar videos from you. Take care and stay healthy. Many woodturning greetings from the north of Germany, George
Thank you for the kind words George, I really do appreciate the thoughtfulness in your compliments! I have always worked by the belief that I want the wood to speak for itself and that there isn't much of a need to use exotics when I have beautiful wood just 10 minutes down the road. Thank you again for the wonderful comment, I really do appreciate that!
Very nice, the finish really made the grain stand out.
Always great to see what you're up to. Lovely work Andrew. Greetings from Australia.
Once again, a beautiful bowl!
I appreciate that! Definitely one I’m proud of!
One word for this STUNNING 👍👍
Gorgeous piece. Love that oil finish. Well done!
Beautiful Piece and interesting process. Full view and Like 👍
I love the way you walk away from your lathe. Nice turn dude, that'll make a customer very happy!
Beautiful work and video.
Another lovely bowl. 😊
Thank you! 😊
This is one that is far more beautiful in person!
Youre too kind!
Andrew that bowl is fantastic, love it!
Thank you Scott!
I love carving and texturing. Great bowl Andrew!
Thank you! I think texturing and tripod feet are my two favorite things to do to a bowl. Id like to try hand carving the texture sometime soon too!
Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing.
Love it! It’s beautiful! Thanks Andrew!
Thank you Brenda! I appreciate that
As always, great video and great piece.
Thank you Josh!
Very nice ❤
I think you made the right decision to start creating more artistic pieces! Well done.
I appreciate that! Sometimes I do second guess my work but then I get comments like yours so thank you for that!
Beautiful work!
Thank ya sir, I appreciate that!
Awesome
Thanks!
great piece, i just did one like that but blue, I like the grinder as well, must try that.
Just checked it out and its a beautiful bowl! I love using the grinder and experimenting with different burrs but I also would like to try and hand carve the texture like you did, I've never done it like that. I just like the grinder because how fast it is lol
Was that a small sanding drum on your dremel? Lots of work in that bowl!! Beautiful! Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the kind words & comment! It was a sanding drum. I used two different sizes for the grooves.
When you turn using a faceplate, what size do you use for like a 22" bowl? What screws do you use?
Beautifully done what finish are you using. And thanks for the bird songs. Still to cold in Canada
Thank you! I went with linseed oil for this one. And you’re welcome! They’ve been going crazy here in NC
Great piece! How many coats of oil do you usually put on?
Thank ya John! I typically try to do 3. Sometimes one or two more depending on how much it soaks it up
Beautiful Andrew! That turned out great! Everything I have tried textures, they come out uneven and look like crap! I could use some pointers
Thank you! Some things I did when starting off is to practice on scrap pieces of wood first to get whatever look I was going for. I would just clamp some wood to the bench and mess around to see what I liked. I would also do some test bowls so if I messed up then it wasn't much of a loss - just small little bowls. Also if you want something more symmetrical, try using the tool rest and indexing system as a guide. Ive done that a few times where I wanted something thats more straight down the bowl and would use the tool rest to guide the grinder down the side of the bowl. Took some getting use too but it worked!
@andrewmccarn Thank you, Andrew! I did use the index on my Laguna 18/36 for some burning but have not tried it with the grinder. I found myself tiping the burner and couldn't keep my lines straight. I finally used a pencil then followed the pencil lines. Thanks again Andrew! I will try these tips and see if I can improve my skills!
curious on if there was any reason why you decided to carve the outside before cutting out the inside?
There is! So I like to carve the outside first because to me it’s easier to establish the wall thickness when the wall is already textured versus doing it after the fact. My thought is if I carve it after turning the inside then I could potentially carve parts of the wall too thin. Also for me it’s easier to do the texture with the solid bowl versus texturing after hollowing. The thinner walls would cause more vibration versus having a solid block of wood. Hopefully that makes sense lol
@@andrewmccarn thanks I’m always learning and turning
