A number of years ago I tried to clear up this same exact question with numerous turners but I also got a lot of different answers, The way I look at I look at it is if a live edge bowl has bark on it it should be considered a live edge (the way the tree was when it was alive). A natural edge bowl with no bark is is just that it is showing the natural edges of the bowls.
Some say one way and some say the other. I just pick up a tool and turn, not being concerned with what to call it. However it is still interesting to hear what the experts have to say. In this case even the experts vary a little bit. Thank you for sharing Mike. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Right on
Good attempt to clarify the distinction. I've only been turning for a little over 3 years and have seen this discussion quite often in social media. Your AI queries are interesting in that they are a consolidation of all the data each of those AI systems had incorporated into their training sets. That kind of indicates that the sum total of all online data on this subject is highly mixed and inconclusive. Always enjoy watching your videos, even if they are just 4 1/2 minutes of my life I won't get back. 😄
Thanks for the mention and the discussion, Mike. Granted, the live/natural subject is not of earthshaking concern. But, if a tree is alive, it definitely has bark on it. So, bark on, live edge.
All in all, this approaches the level of the discussion of how many angels can sit on the head of a pin.
Absolutely! Maybe next Angels discussison is the difference between a friction chuck and a jam chuck!
This subject came up in a class at Arrowmont several years ago. After some discussion among several of us students, our instructor cut to the chase and said natural edge bowls can be done with or without bark. The instructor: David Ellsworth. Good enough for me!
Thanks for sharing that Gerald. My thoughts exactly.
I think this is a discussion topic that could be debated for days. My $.02 is that "live" edge bowls still have the bark on, "natural" edge one do not. However, the table makers seem to have a different nomenclature than wood turners.
Based on the comments, I will start applying your terminology which I think will become more common and accepted going forward. I think linking LIve to Bark makes it easier to remember.
Great job attempting to define a term that is very ambiguous Mike.
Thanks for watching, Jack.
A distinction without a difference.
Agreed unless someone raises theri voice in a discussion! LOL
