Woodturning - A Little More Than Sycamore

In this week’s project Harry and I took a dry piece of Sycamore and gave it a bit of texturing using a woodburning pen after turning a bowl with a wood lathe.
This bowl was a little difficult as the bowl had steep sides which went pretty deep. I managed to get a good consistent wall thickness though and finished off the last bit of the bottom with a negative rake scraper. Finally, I finished the piece with Odie’s Oil.
I had a great time at SWAT this year, soon you should be seeing some exciting new tools in future videos!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Very nice. I enjoy the deeper bowls, turning them and watching others. They’re just different from the norm. Well done.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Doug! It gets a bit nervous once that tool extends deeper than usual past the tool rest!

Beautiful bowl, Robert. I really like the woodburned edge. Well done!

Great tool work resulting in a fine piece.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Alan! I was pleased how my tool control went with this piece. It's been a while since I've turned a bowl.

[@BrickhouseCraftWorks]

Well done, Hodge! Love the shape and the detailing along the rim!

[@williamellis8993]

Looks great, Robert. The burning on the rim was a nice accent. When you first said burning, I was wondering if it was going to be pyrography or Lichtenberg. Now I know. Also, Perv Harry strikes again.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Bill! I'm on the fence on the Lichtenberg. If I get around to ever using one it will definitely be the type where I can control from another room....or let Harry do it.

Nice. I like the flat tool rest that you used when using your bottom nosed scraper. Helps stabilize I’m sure.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Mark! Yes the box tool rest comes in handy sometimes!

I think this is my 2nd turning I've used it on and it amazes me how simple it is to use! Becoming my preferred utilitarian finish for sure!

[@woodturninghomemade]

Good job 👍

[@adrianolsen-woodhamwoodtur4980]

Nice project Rob. I always like turning sycamore; it’s always so very well behaved (unlike a certain beaver we all know 😇). Great outcome there. The pyrography on the rim is a nice touch. Great patience shown there………69 ? What’s Harry on about?

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Adrian, I think Harry miscounted somewhere along the line.

[@michaellionart4841]

Question. My bowl gouge has a fairly square grind meaning hollowing is a tad difficult. What are your preferred gouge dimensions (?)
TIA

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Michael, I use the 40-40 grind on the majority of my bowls now until I get to the very bottom where I've got to cut across end grain. If you google 40-40 grind there will be loads of information about it.

[@clarencegreen3071]

Using a spindle roughing gouge at 1:20 ? That's a big No No!

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks for showing concern but that's a 5/8in bowl gouge with a 40/40 grind. A few seconds later you can see a different angle of the same tool. Also the shaft of tool is round and not a formed tang as on spindle roughing gouge.
