Ron Grob Thank you kindly Ron! I felt the same way about the beads, but by the end I was glad I stuck with them. Sometimes it's trial and error, or as we say in Canada, denial and error lol Kyler
Welcome to the world of negative rake 😂 super job buddy that came out lovely. Beading looks super almost like a honey pot 👍 scraper is great on torn grain. Few sprays of water and go at it with sharp scraper it will come up super. All the best . Al
Woodturning by Alan Scannell I should have entered the negative rake club years ago! Lol thanks for the kind words and tips buddy, I appreciate that! I'll have to try the water trick next time I have some torn grain........should be on my next turning in that case lol 😜 Thanks again Alan, and sorry for late reply! Kyler
I really like this turning, Kyler. I think you are very brave to even attempt all those beads! And then you get them perfectly sized and spaced! Really impressive. Beautiful wood and the imperfections really only add to the beauty. Very well explained, great camera angles, just an overall good watching experience. Keep'em coming! Phil
madronawoodworks Thank you very much Phil! I think the walnut turns so nicely that it helped me achieve the beads. In all honestly I didn't know if I was going to be able to get it right, but I'm glad I tried because it actually worked out lol I was very happy with how the crack really added to the bowl. Might be the most important feature actually! Thanks again for watching and the encouragement my friend! Safe and happy turning to you! Kyler
hoppers2010 Thank you kindly! I was pleasantly surprised with how smoothly this walnut turned and sanded/finished. I honestly can't believe I have 2000 subs now, blows mind! And yes you're right about the honey pot! Lol Thanks again! Kyler
This is the most enjoyable video you have to watch. It shows the idea, a small failure, and then an AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL bowl at the end. I enjoyed it! SAFE TURNING, John
John Wallace Wow John I really appreciate such kind words, thank you! Midway through the project I was doubting the initial idea. By the end I was really happy I committed to it. It's actually one of my favourite pieces.......I'm sure the fact that it's walnut doesn't hurt either lol Thanks again John! Kyler
Fantastic little bowl Kyler! Like the previous comment, I think the cracks add a great deal of beauty to it. Very nice beads as well. You’re going to have me trying some Odie’s Oil if you keep getting beautuful finishes like that. I love the low sheen, it looks much more natural than high gloss and gives the wood a warm glow. Take Care - Jay
Cigar Smoka Thank you kindly Jay! I completely agree that the crack is what really made this bowl. And to think I avoided turning this piece of wood because I was worried about the crack being a problem lol I was very happy with the Odie's Oil on this Walnut, it really is a great finish! And the smell of the Odie's Oil and Walnut together is really nice too. Thanks again my friend! Kyler
Beautiful bowl - I like the final shape. It would be good info for newer turners to know how difficult or easy it was to remove the remaining tool marks on the inside of the bowl by sanding.
Mike Moore Thanks for the kind words Mike! That's a good point about explaining the sanding a bit more. I was able to power sand using 150, which dealt with the tool marks fairly quickly, then moved through 220, 320, 400, 600, and hand buffed with 0000 steel wool. Thanks for taking the time to leave that suggestion! Kyler
Very well done, Ky. I really like the beaded ogee design -- and that you opted for an odd number of beads (personal design preference). It really is too bad walnut is hard to get where you live. I consider it to be the queen of domestic hardwoods. Wrt to negative rake scrapers: told you so, told you so, told you so... :-D Clyde
Clyde Ulmer Hahaha yes you were another woodturner urging me to enter the negative rake scraper club! And yes you were completely right! That thing works like a dream. Should have re-shaped that scraper long ago. Walnut is really a pleasure to turn. It cuts so nicely for sure a dense, hard heavy wood. And it sands and finishes so well. I shouldn't complain because I still have some really nice hardwoods in my area......but a bit of walnut would me nice lol I wanted an odd number because I like to have a center bead to kinda balance/divide them. Preferences are a funny thing when you think about it lol Thanks for the kind words and all the advice you've been handing over, much appreciated my friend! Kyler
Nice looking bowl! Maybe use a pencil to mark your transitions next time for the beaded area to save bowl material? Pencil Mark's are easier to remove then grooves in the material. Great job regardless!
RN Timber Turnings That is a very good point about using a pencil first! Would have saved some wood and time on this project. Thanks for the advice and kind words, much appreciated! Kyler
Great little bowl. The negative rake scraper looks pretty good in action. The Odies Oil gives a nice finish ennh? thanks for the entertainment. Oh did I say the beads kinda did themselves, looks like they wanted to be there all along. ha Thanks again.
don austin Haha thanks for the kind words Don, I appreciate that! I have been really happy with the Odie's Oil. You don't need to use much, and it takes little effort; and it smells great! And I'm still blown away by the negative rake scraper. Should have re-shaped that scraper a long time ago. But better late than never as they say. Kyler
Kyler are you sure that Walnut was not some kind of brown Butter? Because you made it look like cutting butter and those beads look perfect. I think that crack look perfect in the bowl. A very intricate looking beaded bowl interrupted by a crack. It really makes the bowl if you ask me. Oh and yes I a very proud of you for making and using that negative rake scraper. Great job. Gary
ThePapa1947 Thank you kindly Gary! Honestly the work you and Phil have been putting out lately has inspired me to try out some of the wood I have been hesitating on due to cracks and imperfections. And I must say I'm happy I finally threw this piece of wood on the lathe lol I agree that the crack is what really made this bowl. That's actually why I faced it forward in the thumbnail. And I can't say enough about the negative rake scraper lol Thanks for stopping by Gary! Kyler
David Thanks David! Yes hardwoods in general are quite pricey here in Canada. This last time I was in a hardwood supplier was about 3 years ago....and all I did was see the prices and turned around and went back home to mill up blanks out of local trees lol! Kyler
Sorry you don’t have a lot of walnut available. I have access to a lot of walnut and love the way it turns. Currently turning a large bowl out of a very dry blank.
Ray Evans Well sir, I am a bit jealous lol Walnut is really nice to turn. It's quite hard and heavy but cuts really smooth and nice to finish. Not to mention the incredible figure in the grain. Safe and happy turning to you! Kyler
Obliged if you could let me know the grind angle on your bowl gouge. Thanks, the bowl looks great although personally I preferred it before you beaded it.
CrackerJack Thank you! The swept back grind I started with has a 60* nose angle, and the 40/40 I switched over to is 40* all the way around. I have a video showing how I sharpen them which I'll link below in case you want to check it out. ruclips.net/video/WP3fu2-poI0/видео.html
MG Makes Thank you kindly! Funny thing is I hesitated using this piece of wood because of the crack....turns out it might had been the best part of it! Lol Kyler
Cortland Hunt Yes I hear you, and I think it's like Oak and many other colourful woods where they are sensitizers. Meaning the more you're exposed to it over time, the worse the reactions get! Darn! Lol Kyler
Beautiful bowl. The grain on those beads is spectacular. I'm catching up on your older videos. Glad I am. Bill
William Ellis Thanks again Bill! I hope you find them either useful or at least entertaining.
Kyler
I was not a fan of those beads at first, but it sure came out looking really nice! Great project Ky, thanks for sharing.
Ron Grob Thank you kindly Ron! I felt the same way about the beads, but by the end I was glad I stuck with them. Sometimes it's trial and error, or as we say in Canada, denial and error lol
Kyler
I love the beading it gives it an elegance
Nice piece Ky👍👍👍
Mark Stevens Thank you kindly Mark, much appreciated!
Really nice! I have to try some beads soon!
PF Woodturning Thank you kindly! Give them a go, if you take your time they are much easier than you might first think!
Kyler
Yes, love Walnut. Great job!
James Harless Thank you kindly, I appreciate that!
Kyler
Awesome looking bowl. I like the idea of putting beads down the side of it. Nice job.
George Brill Thank you kindly George! I wasn't sure how it was going to work out, but by the end I was happy I committed to the beads.
Kyler
Beautiful bowl!
para05100 Thank you kindly, I appreciate that!

Wow, nice bowl out of a gnarly piece of walnut. I think the beads make me thing of a bee hive.
Ken
Moonpie Creations Hmm Maybe I should make it into a honey pot! Lol! Thanks for the kind words Ken, I appreciate that my friend!
Kyler
Beautiful bowl you turned there
Enjoyed and Thumbs Up
Russell Anderson Thank you kindly Russell, I appreciate that!
Kyler
Nice piece of wood with lovely character. 5*
David Charleson Thank you kindly David, much appreciated!
Kyler
That is one beautiful piece Ky, I learn so much from your videos. Keep up the great work mate.
Andy C Thanks again Andy, I appreciate that! If you ever have any questions about the tools or techniques I use, don't hesitate to ask!
Kyler
Gorgeous bowl...the walnut just glows and I love the beads!
Carol Riley Thanks for the kind words Carol, much appreciated! I was really happy with this piece of walnut, sure wish I had more!
Kyler
“Take our time and slowly sneak up on the shape” - that is golden advice!
FlyingMerf Yes it kind of goes with one of the first rules in woodturning, "You can take wood off, but you can't put it back on" lol
That’s amazing man! Good work!

Great job with a dry old blank. Looks like a Honey Pot from Winnie the Pooh. Thanks for sharing with us and congratulations on reaching 2k subs.

to think you weren't sure about the beads, turned out pretty damn good I'd say

I never knew I liked walnut until I started turning, that bowl looks great Ky.
The Pohl Barn Projects Thanks buddy! Yea Walnut is nice hard and heavy, but still cuts so nicely. Sands up really well too!

DrechselRentner Joe März Thank you kindly Joe, I appreciate the kind words!

Love to turn Walnut, however I have to wear long sleeve and full respirator. It doesn’t like me. 👍🇺🇸
Cortland Hunt Yes I hear you, and I think it's like Oak and many other colourful woods where they are sensitizers. Meaning the more you're exposed to it over time, the worse the reactions get! Darn! Lol
Kyler
You should have made a yarn bowl out of it
Don Lyons Very true, I could have utilized that crack for it!
Start with a bowl and end up with a toothpick holder, been there done that.
tinkernaut Lol!
