WOW incredible work! What a lucky guy when you have a super neighbor who donates some burls your way! Beautiful pieces, beautiful finishes and I really loved the leaf cutouts! What a cool addition, completely sets that piece off! Arbortech is my favorite tool in the shop, right along with my lathe! Thanks for sharing the process!
Thanks again Kieran, my neighbor was moving out and was just going to throw them on the burn pile. I was glad he thought of me and I could salvage them, well 3 out of 10 anyway.
Well thank you very much, I am trying to fit in more time for video editing but I am focusing on quality vs. quantity right now and I am an old dog tryin to learn new tricks.
Nicely done. I like the three different types of finishes that you used. The food safe finish interests me as I'm toying with the idea of making bread and charcuterie boards. I've been interested in the epoxy process as well for filling in gaps and cracks in live edge slabs.
Thanks for watching and your support. I really like all of the arbortech products I have used so far... for the most part. I recently reviewed their Power carving kit as seen in this video... ruclips.net/video/c8Scgksvyxw/видео.html . I have also recently obtained an old soap stone carvers cabinet that I use for dust control while carving with the arbortech... video regarding that solution will be in the near future.
Well early on in the video I cut a flat section on the bandsaw and, although I didn't show it in the video I used my Rikon belt/disc sander to completely smooth it flat
@@TherapyWoodWorks that's great. This year I was going make a few bowls for warm and wet food, finished with clear primer and epoxy. Previous years I have used zinser spray Shellac, but those are for dry decorative use.

HI Dan, a question do you buy your burl's or go and find what you like to use, now if you go and cut your own how long do you let them dry ? or can you use them straight from the tree? Cheers Aussie Chris. ps Love the videos .
So the burls I used in this video were given to me by my neighbor who sold there house and needed to get rid of them. They were very dry over a 10 year period but I was only able to salvage 3 out of 10 due to dry rot and cracking. I have bought a couple too from a local garage sale for 10 bucks with an unknown age but I check them with a moisture meter before using them. A lot of bowl turners will do an initial shaping of wet wood then let dry for a year before final forming. Hope this answers your questions and thanks for your interest in the channel.
Yeah my wife really likes the corny t-shirt theme too. I loved making these bowls but I tell you it is hard to come by a source of burls. I lucked out stumbling across those.
Thanks for the inspiration
Pure loveliness
You can use an electric heat gun too, for thinning the epoxy layers
I like your calm and determined style🙂🙂
ahhhhhh thank you for the comments. sometimes it is not so calm in my shop 🥵

Thank you for the educational videos have subscribed 👍🏴
Humongenous! Nice save with the maple leafs
Thanks again, it is definitely one of my favorite pieces, that is why my son got it for Christmas.
Beautiful work Sir! I'm sorry took so long to come across this video.
Thank you for your kind comments. Glad I have the opportunity to share
Very cool channel. I have made a couple live edge cherry burl bowls using that deadly chain saw carver. I will be ordering from Arbor Tech.
That's great Steve that I was able to offer some input for your decision
You are my kingwoodworker.more clips thankyou

New sub from Spain!

Thanks Andy.... a very special charcuterie board is actually the next item coming out of the shop.... stay tuned
Beautiful job. I tried the gaff speed cutter the thing as scary as hell. I think I'll give the arbortech a try.

Looks amazing!
Thanks Brett. The reason I keep going with the videos is the show of appreciation.
Awesome. Them 800 dollar bowls are definitely nice.
From irregular lumps of wood how do you ensure the bottom of the bowl is flat?
Well early on in the video I cut a flat section on the bandsaw and, although I didn't show it in the video I used my Rikon belt/disc sander to completely smooth it flat
great t shirt!
I learned a lot thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice, try the Kutzall wheel some time, unless you are sponsored . I find it works really well!
Nope not sponsored by anybody, I'm just a happy wood worker having fun learning how to make videos. I will check out your suggestion
@@TherapyWoodWorks get the original medium, course is really course and cuts quick. You in the USA or Canada?
@@chippychippy8291 Canada
Burr 👍🏴
Where do you suggest to buy my angle grinding disc?
I have a project at school am making a wood sink I want you to make some measurements for me plz!!!!!🙏
I sure could, what do you need? Keep in mind I don't have the bowls anymore, all gone out for Christmas presents
@@TherapyWoodWorks l want you to make some measurements for me for that sink you made. So that I can use them to my project .
Youll get better shimmer if the sanding is taken up to 1500 grit.
Epoxy needs a primer first, like Kilz wood primer.
Thanks for all the tips. I have never used a primer before epoxy before. I recently revisited this bowl and it is showing no signs of degradation yet.
@@TherapyWoodWorks that's great. This year I was going make a few bowls for warm and wet food, finished with clear primer and epoxy. Previous years I have used zinser spray Shellac, but those are for dry decorative use.
Молодец. Приятно смотреть.
Отлично получается, красавец!
спасибо Вам

Lost me with the music, sorry
Thank you for your input, I am still trying to improve my editing techniques and will take it easy on the BG music in the future.
@@TherapyWoodWorks editing takes a lot of practice but re watch your own efforts and you be your own critic
the real star of this video is that 'horny' moose shirt. this vid is inspiring. i wanna make some bowls now

Should use a draw knife
