- In this video I will be trying to make a tri corner bowl Sometimes called a 3 corner bowl.
Always wanted to make on and found it it was fun. A little slow going but fun. Takes careful and accurate cuts.
Made from a nice piece of Cherry sent to me by Ron from Creations by Ron

Hello my friend,
This is an indicator of high-level skills. Of course, it takes time to reach this level. Their creativity can be a reference and example for art lovers. Congratulations. See you.
Thanks so much Sahane and thanks for watching.
Gary
You are just what Phil Anderson said you was. Amazing
Papa you are awesome.
Thank you Ronnie that is very kind of you to say.
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful and unique bowl. From the last profile of it on the video I see a crown, for the King you are! A great turning, teaching and addictive video. Best.
Thank you so much. That is very kind of you to say.
Take care,
Gary
Ahhhhhh Gary...how could we not like your videos!😃 very nice! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Mike. I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching,
Gary
Papa,
A really nice piece of work. The tri-corner bowl is unique and very different from the usual make a square into a round.
Keep the aspidistra flying!
Many thanks,
Paul
Thank you very much Paul. Yes it is different and it is always nice to try new things.
Take care,
Gary
Dear Papa,
WOW! This a vary unic look, I realy LOVE it.
♡☆♡☆♡☆♡

Hey Gary, Beautiful bowl and the 3 corners is just amazing. Thanks for the idea. Yall have a wonderful day.
Thank you very much Allyn and have a great day as well.
Gary
Oh that turned out great! I live the finish and the shape is amazing! It’s a true beauty! Great job! Bravo!
Thanks so much Mary. They are tricky and hard to see the shape in a cube but it works.
Take care,
Gary
Nicely done The cherry blank worked out beautifully.. Thanks for the video!
Thank you Jerry and thanks for watching.
You did it again sir!
👍😎
Great work
We appreciate you
Thank you very much Luie for your very kind words. They are much appreciated.

Very nice Gary. It turned out really nice. Pretty nice looking bowl. Thanks for sharing the video.
Thank you very much. Happy you like it and thanks for watching.
Gary
Reminds me of a hat I have seen in some part of the World. Beautiful.
I think I have seen those hats. Thanks Khan!
Wow Gary at is beautiful! The color of the wood is gorgeous.
Thank you Jane. For sure it does have some really nice grain.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful, Gary. I'm glad it worked out for you.
Bill
Thank you Bill and so was I.
Soon as I'm done with building my new carving bench, this will be my next attempt. Thanks!
Thank you Michael and best of luck.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I had no doubt that you could do it. Beautiful.
Thank you Herbie, a fun turning to do that helps develop tool control for sure.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Good evening, Gary.
Great project and video. I need to put this on my to do list. Beautiful bowl.
Thank you Ray, for sure it is worth trying. I checked this off my list but have now added 2 more.
Take care,
Gary
A great video Gary. I was surprised how the way you first mounted it worked. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thank you very much Steve. It does look a bit strange mounted that way. But it does work.
Take care,
Gary
That’s really nice. Turned out well and the cherry is awesome
Thank you Mark and thanks for watching.
Gary
Very nicely done, Gary! It came out beautiful, my friend!
Thank you very much Billy. Your comments are much appreciated.
Take care buddy,
Gary
That bowl is really gorgeous, Gary!
Thank you Carol. Happy you like it. I sure had fun turning it.
Fantastic Gary superb workman ship amazing
Thanks so much. Happy you liked it.
Take care,
Gary
Gary, very nice this is a neat bowl. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Kevin and thanks for watching.
Gary
Nice work Gary 👏! Been awhile since I saw anyone make one. I've always wanted to try it but never have. Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!
Thank you Stephen! Never too late to give it a try. God Bless my friend,
Gary
I was impressed 👍 that was hard for me to see the finished piece in that block of wood but it turned out great
Thank you Bill and it is really hard to see it but it was in there.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Lovely bowl. I find these are fun to make and I'm always asked how it's done. When I say I started with a cube, I can see faces go blank. What? How? Nicely done!
Thank Josh. Funny now the shape seems to hide from you. If you look close enough you can find this shape in a round bowl. But that would be cheating LOL
You did well with that cherry. 👍
Thank you James!
Yaaaay! I could tell you were enjoying the challenge, Gary. It's nice to be retired and have the time to let it set a bit, cook some BBQ and get back at it after some thinking time. It's just one of those kinds of pieces. Great job keeping the corners nice and sharp! Great job of explaining the steps you were taking to get through the turning. And a great finish! Very fun video to watch and it makes me want to turn another one these. Keep'em coming, buddy! 😊
Phil
Thanks Phil it was fun and I remember the 2 you did. I do a lot of stopping on turnings that might take a few hours. Taking a few hours to BBQ was needed so I could think and prepare for the hard part of this project. Not to mention cooking dinner LOL.
I am all readying dreaming of a crazy glue up for one of these but it wont be real soon. I feel a piece of Black Locust calling me.
Thanks for watching my freind,
Gary
Great job, love the tip about the negative rake scrapper. I will be using it for sure. My bet it was Phil that did the previous video.
Thank you Chris. I think you might be right about Phil doing one of these. I remember both of his that he did.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I have done two so far. The second one was made from pine that was blown down during a tornado that hit Beauregard community in 2019, where President Trump came and looked at the damage. Tragically 23 people lost their lives. I donated the bowl to the Beauregard Volunteer Fire and Rescue dept. Where it is on display in honor of the people lost.
Thank you Harry and well done donating the piece.
Take care,
Gary
Nice job Gary... I found it quit interesting how you were able to hold the peace, however my skill levels are just not ware they need to be for this project yet...LOL
Thanks for sharing
Thank you Richard. Holding them that way at the start works very well and keeps them centered.
Thanks for watching and best of luck should you ever try one.
Gary
A very pretty little bowl. I love the grain.
Thanks Pauline for watching and commenting.
Gary
Beautiful work Gary! Looks very elegant.
Many thanks Ray and thanks for watching.
Gary
Outstanding Gary very beautiful and sorry it’s took me a while to watch the videos I am behind my parents were sick and they passed away two weeks ago take care and God bless my friend
Oh my gosh Mike I am so sorry to hear this. You lost both of them? I know words will not help at a time like this but my prayers are with you and may God bless you as you heal.
Take care my friend,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Thank you very much and yes my dad died 10 July and my mother 13 of July take care my friend God bless
Another nice one, Gary. I've been trying to think of what I should do with that small pile of 4x4 lumber I've got left over from a porch railing job. Now, I know. I'll have to give one of those 3-corner bowls a try. Trouble is, it's clear, straight-grained wood; I don't know how to work with that! Haha! Ah, a 3-corner burl bowl? I'll let you know how THAT turns out...
Take care,
--Paul
Thanks Paul, as a matter of fact I have a decent sized Maple burl that needs some trimming. Perhaps that might be in the future. But I also have something else in mind I want to make. I was planning on Black Locust and will still probably go that way.
Have fun,
Gary
That is a beautiful turned 3 point bowl! I enjoy the way you turn and your detailed explanation of it. Thank you, I am a subscriber and I'm happy to be so.
Thank you very much Rex and I am very happy to have you as a subscriber. Much appreciated!
Take care,
Gary
Magnet is a great idea. I have a piece of cherry that I need to turn like this.
Thank you Billy. The Cherry worked out nicely. The grain is pretty tight and straight. That helps because you have the piece mounted so the grain is going many different ways.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice one Gary, love your work, this is something I have to try soon.
Thank you Ron and best of luck.
Take care,
Gary
That turned out great Gary I've did a square bowl real knuckle buster but never a 3 corner bowl dizzy bowls are still My favorite thank you 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Radar! Square bowls are fun as well.
Take care my friend,
Gary
Very Nice Piece Gary! Enjoyed the video 👍
Thank you Kimsey and thanks for watching.
Gary
Always fascinating to how a three-cornered piece can originate from a cube.
Ask anyone on the street and they will say 'square'!
Great finish Gary! 😎
Thank you Leo!
Ok Gary… I have to try it as well… very nice and the thickness is uniform…. Great job….
Thank you very much William. It was a lot of fun to turn. Have fun when you try one.
Gary
Thanks for the inspiration, I have been wanting to try that style. Stay well.
Thank you and for sure they are fun. I have some very green Maple I thought about trying but have been keeping this piece of Cherry around for something special and happy it worked out.
Not sure how this would work with green wood but might be fun trying.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Jeez, trying that out of green wood……I wonder if I could get it thin enough not to warp or crack! I sure as heck wouldn’t “video” it! LOL!
@@dtork47 well now you have me wanting to do it lol.
Great work Gary. I have yet to try this but it does look like a fun piece to make. Take care, JOhn
Thank you John. It was fun to do. Just felt like using this piece of wood for something interesting and it worked out.
Thanks for watching, Gary
Great job on turning a beautiful bowl, Gary, and you didn't even break a corner off! It is enjoyable to watch a craftsman work. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Kent. Believe me it was on my mind the whole time. Loosing a corner pretty much would lose it all. Once I did get the corner I stayed away from it.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
Very nice Gary - we’ll done!
Thank you very much Stan!
Take care,
Gary
Hi Gary, great video and I am sure that it will help a lot a of people. I also turn a smaller Version with a tealight candle incerted in the bottom.
Thank you Peter. One of these would be perfect for a tealight. Thanks for the idea.
Very pretty!! Shape & color are great
Thank you very much Lynda. Happy you liked it and thanks for watching,
Gary
Gorgeous little bowl Gary.
Thank you Jack. It was lots of fun to do and happy you liked it.
Gary
COOL COOL COOL Piece again. weldone.
Thank you Manjit!
Take care,
Gary
Gary Gary Gary... between you and Phil, you guys makes it look so easy and effortless, well, untill I try it at least LOL. Brilliant project and video. I still need to try and make one of these. Who knows, maybe in the near future. Again, brilliant work.
Thanks so much Japie! The future is always right in front of us so maybe it is time you gave it a try. Or when you are ready.
Take care,
Gary
It's beautiful! I love it! ❤
Thank you very much. Happy you liked it.
Gary
What a lovely bowl, Gary. I have only seen one other person use tape on the tool rest and that was Phil today! As always, thanks for sharing 🌞
Thank you Ray and I did notice Phil do it today. I have done it on some multi axis turnings and some long winged bowls as well.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Thank You Gary...Fun One Gary....( Turkish Coffee Wake Up Morning )... I know I have said this before ...but...what a pleasure it is Gary waking up on Friday morning & watch you make something interesting. TRI-CORNER BOWL IS CHERRY !!! Thanks for the invitation into your shop this morning.....TM
Glad you enjoyed it tuffy! It was fun to do and might do one with a bunch of glued up wood. It was more of a challenge than anything.
Off for my second cup of coffee...or is that the third LOL
Gary
Hi Papa, Great territorial but I think you’re winging it. 😂.
Phil from the moulin France.
Thank you Phil and for sure I was winging it. Just happy this wing did not take off and fly LOL.
Take care,
Gary
Hi 👋, Gary, In some respects woodturning is a new adventure for me as I used to be or am a Specialist joiner come cabinet maker now retired for the past five years, At 70 years young I am still learning, Especially watching tutorials like yourself creating pieces of art.
Each day is a adventure watching and learning and listening and then go and have a play to see what I can make.
I have two wood lathes, one is a 1949/50 Wadkin RS 8 , with a inverter drive, and Kontour 1500A . Also with inverter drive , I purchased these back in the late nineties to make components for church organs and I had a contract to make thousands of pepper mills salt mills , These were semi automatic set ups. Now using turning chisels, Just feel as if I’ve gone back in time, The experience is great.
Keep up the good work and look forward to the next territorial.
Phil from the moulin France.
Beautiful bowl. Trying new things is the way we learn. I've got to try this. Maybe next video. Great job 👍
Thanks Robert and I will be looking forward to when you do one.
Take care,
Gary
Very nice again Gary.
Thank you Robert and thanks for watching.
Gary
That is fantastic. Love it. Yes, Cherry does make a nice finish.
Thank you very much. It is one of the easier woods to get a great finish on.
Take care,
Gary
Tried? Succeeded! very nice.
Thank you Stuart!
Beautiful Gary. You made it look so easy and thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching! Happy you like it.
Take care,
Gary
Nice three winged bowl. Some times they can be a challenge to turn depending on the wood used. The biggest concern about turning this type of bowl is keeping your fingers.
Last one I turned was from plywood from the big box store. It can be a big challenge keeping the wood from tearing out by the three corners. Best to use pine or Baltic birch plywood. Don’t use oak plywood. I won’t tell you how I know, but it was a disaster.
Thank John you and for sure I would use Baltic birch ply. I made the dodecahedron and turned it into a sphere using Baltic birch and it worked great.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
A stunning tri corner bowl Gary. You make it look so easy but I am not so sure that is the case. This would make a stunning gift for people if it were so desired. Anyone, I am sure, would be thrilled to receive such a gift. The finish is amazing on the Cherry wood. Nice commentary too my friend. A great job. Don from South Aust.
Thanks Don! Well it does take very careful cuts when doing the rim. Other than that the rest is not all that hard. I know after this one I needed to turn a simple shape. But wood ended up being some of the nicest looking I have turned. You will see it in a few weeks.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I have sent you a picture of my attempt. Cherry is so nice
Thank you Neil! I saw the email and I am off to have a look.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Excellent 👍🏻
Thank you 👍
Nice work sir I will have a go:):)
All the best
Yiannis
Best of luck my friend. It is lots of fun.
Hi Gary, I watched your video and Phil Anderson’s and decided I’d like to make one. I wasn’t sure I could hold the work in the lathe as you did and I was correct. So I removed the corners so I had flat surfaces for the drive and live centres. It worked out well and I now have a tri-corner bowl about 115mm corner to corner and 70mm high. I started with a piece of mahogany 93x93x94mm.
Thank you Steve. Sounds like you did a great job of solving a problem. Nice work!
Take care,
Gary
Very cool !
Thank you very much Dan and thanks for watching.
Gary
The tape on the tool rest was a great idea. Bowl turned out very pretty.
Thanks Cecillia! I have used the tape on a natural edge bowl as well as some multi axis turnings. It sure does help.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Well done 👍
Thank you very much Greg.
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful tri-corner bowl, Gary. It is always fun to turn new things. Take care. 😊
Thanks you Rob. Yes doing new things is always fun and intersting.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Très jolie réalisation Gary bravo 👍👏👋
Heureux que ça te plaise Denis et merci d'avoir regardé,
Gary
As always an amazing piece, Gary. I need to get a similar live centre so that i can use it how you used yours. Always something new to get. lol. Lovely finish as always. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Thank you Bruce! The live center came with my lathe. It is just a matter of taking the point out.
This piece of Cherry sanded nicely and really took a nice finish.
Thanks for watching and take care,
Gary
Looks great.
Thank you Travis!
super nice bowl
Thank you very much Ward and thanks for watching.
Gary
Looks great
Thank you Nate!
very nice yes i watch one to
Thank you Delbert!
Another gorgeous piece Gary. Love the 3 points of the bowl.
Thanks for sharing 👍.
Thank you Carl and thanks for watching.
Gary
Lovely work
Thank you Robert and thanks for watching.
Gary
That is really wonderful Gary! A real nice piece of art. You make it look so simple, that maybe I could even do it. I will put this on the long (and growing) list of different projects that I want to try. Thanks for the great lesson, the encouragement, and a great piece of work! See you next week.
Thank you Mark and it was on my list as well. I still have a few things I will work in. Kind of fun doing different things.
Take care,
Gary
Well done.
Thank you very much Josephine!
Great piece Gary. I like trying new things too, especially abstract pieces. As always, thanks for sharing!
Thank you Mark and it is always fun trying something new and different. I have a couple lined up now. Just need to find the time LOL.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
A beautiful piece Gary. I love the idea of the three-point bowl. You made it look easy, so maybe, I will give it a try as well. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you James. For sure give it a try. You might be surprised that if you are careful it is not all that hard.
Best of luck,
Gary
You are so skilled and talented in how you come up with your projects. Beautiful work!
Thanks so much Phyliss. Happy you enjoyed it as much as I did making it.
Gary
That was a very good result, Gary. Never know it was your first attempt. I've wanted to try one of these but haven't had the right piece of wood for it. That and my embellishing has been a bit too extensive, lately. I need a few straightforward projects and that amount of hand sanding doesn't look appealing, at the moment. Glad polishing pastes are so effective by hand. I suppose a person could get a buffing ball to buff the inside of the bowl and use a regular wheel for the outside when it comes to polishing. Yeah, that might save a little bit of elbow grease. Thanks for showing us your fine results and have a great week!
Thank you Jay. So the last square bowl I did was good practice for cutting these wings and getting the wall thickness the same on the edge. And natural edge bowls with long high wings is similar as well. So I looked at it as doing one of those.
Thanks for watching and when you feel up to it give it a try.
Take care,
Gary
Excellent! Haven’t turned a bias cut bowl in a long time. Really caused the grain to go in crazy directions. You did great with it. 1 place in particular was the curves between the points. Fantastic job of getting those areas the same thickness. Such a good example. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Doug. Two things on this I found to be a challenge. Keeping the tips and making the edge the same width.
I have done a number of multi axis turnings where they needed to be that way so it was not too bad. Just very careful cuts as it can get messed up very easily.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That seems like a lot of wood to waste. I wonder if a bandsaw jig could be made to cut the cube in half through the tree corners. Then you would have blanks for two, three-corned bowls, and they would be easier to mount on a screw chuck.
Not a bad idea at all. I was thinking about cutting some of it away but had not thought about the 2 for one. I have a glue up in mind for one of these and for sure that is a good idea for that for sure.
Thanks for watching and the idea,
Gary
Maybe an easier method might be use a parting tool down the middle of the cube in the axis that Gary has it mounted. At least to get the cut started, then finish off on a bandsaw?
Great job ! These are so much fun, I have only made smaller versions of this and I'm still amazed that when I complete one and it comes out in one piece.
Thank you Mark, yes they sure are a lot of fun. Happy you are having fun making them as well.
Take care,
Gary
Gary. I tried my first 3 sided bowl this weekend. Very nervous due to cutting so much air. I finished the bottom tonight. I’m going to attempt to make it a lidded box I think. Definitely not a speed demon on this project.
Well they are slow going compared to a round bowl. Sounds like your doing fine.
That's beautiful, Gary! I've wanted to try one of these for a while, just haven't gotten to it yet. Thanks for the nudge. 🙂 Very nice!
Thank you Mike and that is all we need sometimes. Just a little bit of a nudge. Right now I think I am getting nudged to go make lunch LOL
Take care,
Gary
That is a beautiful tri-cornered bowl. I really enjoyed watching you turn it. Why don't you send Phil a piece of the cutoff?
Thank you . Well there really was not much size to the cutoffs.
Phil has turned a few pieces of wood I gave him. And I just turned a piece of Olive he gave me.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Love that bowl Gary, it is a a beauty with those finishes on it! That is something I hope to try sometime but summer is always very busy so maybe this winter! Thanks!
Cheers Al
Thanks Al and I am sure you will enjoy turning one.
Take care,
Gary
Really nice Gary!! I tried one of those a while back and it didn't turn out well. That one is really nice!
Thanks Chris! I may do another one in the future but give it a different look.
Thanks for watching!
Great bowl. I tried an old piece of cedar post for my first attempt at one of these. Big mistake, extremely dry and brittle so chunks easily chipped off, and a lot was my inexperience too. I’ll try again someday. At least now I know it is not a “ right of passage” to craftsman turners.
Thank you Lee. For sure a dry Cedar fence post would be very difficult. This is just a novelty turning and fun to do but not all that relaxing. I am sure when you try it again you will have success.
Another great video. I was concerned about the sharp corners (safety) but I think you demonstrated good techniques, thanks.
Thank you Tim. Those sharp corners could be wicked! Thanks for watching.
Gary
Nice little bowl, Gary! The cherry has some pretty grain, and I’m impressed by how even and symmetrical it all ended up. And as usual, a nice, smooth finish. I’ve seen several of these made, and I still have a hard time seeing the triangle from the cube when you first start out. lol Great job!
Thank you Marcia! Yes it is hard to see but if you get it between centers you can rotate and identify the 3 corners.
Real easy to get lost without doing that.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Lovely piece! Great technique and exploration/testing
of how you tackle the next area youre working on. I've always wanted to try one myself but it looks like a butt clenching experience!
Thank you Ollie! The only clenching moments were worrying about cutting those corners away or chipping them out.
It was like doing a natural edge turning with 4 very delicate places.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
I'll start my BBQ an see you tomorrow. OK, it's tomorrow. Worth the wait.
Thank you Louis! You gave me a nice laugh on that one! I kept thinking I better not be late getting supper ready but it all worked out LOL.
Take care,
Gary
Very nice Gary! My first attempt at one of these is still sitting unfinished on a shelf. I think I had reached a point where I couldn’t continue, but I saw something in your video that might get it back on the lathe! I had to laugh early on in the video I’m wearing basically the same cargo shorts that you had on. A beautiful bowl for sure.
Cheers, Rick
Thank you Rick! And this time of year I look forward to wearing the old cargo pants. Wife says they are out of style but not in my shop LOL.
Take care,
Gary
