That's it!!! It's a fantastic bowl... a natural beauty!!! I love this warm glowing grains... the crack in one wing... it's absolut unique!!! Great job... 🎩👍👍🇩🇪🔨
Nice job! Very beautiful bowl. I’m a big fan of Kent’s channel as well as Phil and Papa47. These three channels taught me so much after being away from turning for literally decades. As a camera operator and videographer for 40 years, I also very much appreciate your clean pictures. Very well done! Cheers, Rick
Thank you for the kind words! I'm still trying to improve my camera work and I need some better lights. I had a really bright light but it broke a while back and I need to replace it. Sometimes I just want to focus on the turning and all the camera work slows me down. I've turned several bowls recently without filming so now I'm motivated to film another one.
@garytompkins3761 Thanks! I have to confess I did not do Kent's online courses. I just watched his public videos, and that was enough for me to learn from basically zero experience.
Thank you! That means a lot! I still need to get better, and any mistakes are my own, but he definitely gives great technical advice on how to turn well and safely.
I love that you’re self taught. I discovered woodturning a year ago and I’m hooked.. I wanna learn how to do it and start it up.. beautiful wood and piece! 👌🏼
Thanks! A decent lathe is a big investment and definitely an obstacle. Space to store logs/blanks can also be a problem. You only need a few tools, but to make turning easier, there are some things I bought that were definitely pricey. That said, if you can swing the initial investment, it is so much fun and not that hard to do the basics. I'm still working on improving but it just takes more practice.
I have been watching Kent for years and I see you used his idea of hanging a tarp behind you to control the shavings. Beautiful bowl reminds me of a very large table my father made from "monkey pod" he brought back from Hawaii back in the 50's. Very hard as you said but the finish will last forever. My table is 79 years old and never needed refinishing. Phil from shady acres is also a treasure.
You are absolutely right about me stealing Kent's tarp idea! I have a CNC machine right across from my lathe and it used to get absolutely covered in chips. I still need to tweak it a little, plus the blue tarp looks kind of messy on camera. I really love turning the Sissoo, but the dryer the blanks get the harder the turning. The pores are so tight that it finishes like glass. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Since I retired last year from teaching I've really focused on turning and getting better. And getting these kittens at Christmas time has made me a big time cat-dad. They are a delight! Thanks for watching!
I have one blank of Indian Rosewood sent to me by a friend in Arizona. I bet Phil would not mind a piece from your stash, especially if it is really gnarly! BTW, a jam chuck holds wood without tail support, but a pressure chucking holds wood using tailstock support. Like you, most of us find pressure chucking much faster than taking time to turn a jam chuck. Nicely done, looking forward to more videos from you.
You should definitely turn that blank! They heartwood is really amazing. I would love to share this wood with others and I've been thinking about sending Phil a blank or 2. You are correct about the jam chuck. I got lazy with my terminology! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Gavin! I know Sisso probably doesn't grow in the UK, but are the import regulations also a problem? I just recently saw that this wood might be on a list with restrictions since it is part of the "rosewood" group of species. This stuff is literally a weed in the Phoenix area so I don't have issues with using it since it grows right here. It's so bad that the guy that cut down these 2 trees for my friend ONLY does removals of this species. You have to do a special process to kill the stumps so they don't come back and destroy your concrete. When I run low, I'll just contact him to hook me up with another tree or 2. I wish I could send you some! The kittens are a joy!
LOL. He does. He's actually the mellow one of the two, but he does like to beat up on his sister from time to time. They are much bigger now, but still great companions. Thanks for watching and giving feedback. Much appreciated!
Здравствуйте ! Я из России , очень понравилась чаша, очень красивая текстура дерева . Работа превосходная, смотрел на одном дыхании как Вы уверенно точите такую большую заготовку. Извините за вопрос, может Вы и говорили, но я не понял. Древесину какого дерева Вы используете и как Вы сушите такие большие половинки полена? Хотя по видео я подумал, что Вы точили из сырого дерева, но Вы покрыли чашу маслом. Работа - шедевр. Спасибо!
The wood is Sissoo which is also called Indian Rosewood. The logs I have are still kind of wet and still drying. The ends are coated with a wax sealer to help prevent cracking. Once I finished turning it, the bowl was almost completely dry due to the dry weather conditions here in Arizona, USA. Thanks for watching!
@@FRBPturning Спасибо большое.! Ваша сиссо похожа на яблоню, только не дикую, а сортовую. У неё сердцевина тоже тёмная, темнее чем у сиссо, а оболонь белая. Ваши работы прекрасны,
It is funny that you said you just bought a cording tool because I was thinking you should have bought one to save soooo much turning and then be able to turn a few more smaller bowls?
That's it!!!
It's a fantastic bowl... a natural beauty!!! I love this warm glowing grains... the crack in one wing... it's absolut unique!!!
Great job... 🎩👍👍🇩🇪🔨
@@ralphgraler4223 thank you so much!
Круто! Изделие практичное и красивое👋👋. Коты крутые 👍👍
Thank you!
We have the same lathe! I installed a VFD to give me semi variable drive but aye it is what it is.
What kind of VFD did you use? I’ve been looking to do that for a while.

I.appreciate your descriptions during the video of how and why you do each step. Very helpful to those us us just learning how to turn!
@steveweiss8606 thanks Steve! I try to give the highlights without bogging down in too much detail.
Great job 👏 👍 I love the grain. I also watch Phil Anderson, he is amazing 👏 ❤️ 😊
@gerrychauveau2925 thanks! I've learned a lot from watching Phil and Gary and Kent.
Nice job. Great of you to mention Kent Hartley, one of the best teachers out there, his on line courses are excellent
@garytompkins3761 Thanks! I have to confess I did not do Kent's online courses. I just watched his public videos, and that was enough for me to learn from basically zero experience.
Kent is the best teacher and you are doing him proud with your techniques here ❤️ Amazing work!!
Thank you! That means a lot! I still need to get better, and any mistakes are my own, but he definitely gives great technical advice on how to turn well and safely.
Well done!! Hard to go wrong with the mentoring of Phil, Kent, and ThePapa1947.... Thanks for posting.
@peterrauch6604 thanks! Those 3 guys really suit my style and do a great job creating art, which is what I'm after.

Brilliant bowl Jim - i love that wood. Getting it here in uk is a problem tho. Also the kittens look lovely.

very detailed
I watched Ken myself learned a lot from him lovevthr bowl and it has lots of figure
I try! Thanks for watching.
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
@@FRBPturning my pleasure
How kind of you to take that wood from your friend😊lol.
What a score Jim. Great looking wood and great looking turning.
Gary
@ThePapa1947 thanks Gary! I've lived here 32 years and never works have thought there was such beautiful wood planted in people's yards.
Mr. Beans looks incredibly guilty about something. Better check the floor for landmines. lol
Nice bowl. Good job. Thanks for sharing.
LOL. He does. He's actually the mellow one of the two, but he does like to beat up on his sister from time to time. They are much bigger now, but still great companions. Thanks for watching and giving feedback. Much appreciated!

@alandisomma-od5fz I turned this in April and immediately after started shopping for one. I've used it several times since and love it.
