Would be good if you showed how you mounted the wood!
Wonderful project, thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Thank you! Little bowls are one of the things I want to turn and this video was great. Beautiful little result!
You are so welcome Madonna! Thanks for Watching!!!
GREAT idea.....had not thought about end grain, but will try next week. Thanks for all the new tips in woodturning
Glad to help, Thanks for Watching!!
My wife uses the tiny bowls for salt and pepper near the stove. Beautiful work!
That's a great idea Terry, Thanks for Watching!!!
I have one of those tiny gouges, nice to see another one.
I love it!
Very cute bowl
Thanks Dean I like that little Bowel good 👍 job
Thanks, and Thanks for Watching!!!
I regularly make small bowels from branches and even from 4x4 timber especially if someone is replacing a fence nearby they make great little boxes has well . Really enjoyed watching you work and thanks for sharing your craft with us .
Thank you!!
I really like your little bowls , have to spin off some
Thanks Gary!!
Very good video Dean. As a new turner. I'm always on the lookout for easy to accomplish projects! Thanks so much for the valuable teaching
Glad you enjoyed it
I recently got my wood lathe it’s not the biggest but I think I’ll be able to make some like these and one very interesting thing I have realized is the difference of age in between one artisan and the other, I’m 14 and I’ll very soon be able to say that I too am an artisan (and also an artist)
Welcome to the world of wood turning Have fun and be safe!!!
Great little bowls nicely done 👌👍
Thanks, Glad you like them!
Very informative video for sure. Was sitting here sipping on coffee and thinking about todays project in the shop. Think you just inspired me. Appreciate you sharing.

Handy little bowl, well done.
Thanks Greg, and Thanks for Watching!!!
Love those tiny bowls. Thank you for the video
You are so welcome!
Great video Dean, I like the simple things.
Me too Doug, Thanks for Watching!!!
Did you say to make the diameter of the bowl the same as the height? I love the proportions on that bowl and I’ve been struggling to find a shape I like on my little bowls.
no it is wider than tall.
Very nice indeed - thanks for sharing !
Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks for Watching!!
Hey Dean 👋 love your content. can you tell me howmuch one of those might cost in your area??
These are great. I'm going to try some.
Glad you like them!
Great work Dean 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍, and Thanks for Watrching!!!
Awesome Dean I will have to definitely try this.
Please do!
@DeansWoodworking It's interesting watching how others do things. I make tons of little bowls from cutoffs, I've discovered that with a short piece that has a good tenon, it's easier to hollow the inside first, then shape the outside, then come back to the inside to turn to final thickness. It saves the rechucking step, I leave the bottoms smooth so I can burn in my logo with an iron so I don't put in the little grooves on the bottom.
Very cool! Thanks for Watching!!
I like your process Dean, seems like ine can really turn them out in a short time. Thnx! 😎
Thanks, and Thanks for Watching!!!
I love your method
Thank you
great idea. I can do that. Thank you for sharing such a neat idea. i have seen miniature work but these little bowls would be great.
You are so welcome Paul! Thanks for Watching!!!
Real like this!! Looking for cedar fence posts now.
you can use any wood this was a limb off of a Pear tree. Thanks for Watching!!!
Nice
Thanks
Thank you that was very interesting. I’ve always wanted to do that !
You should! Thanks for Watching!!!
Excellent demo Dean. Simple way to make tiny bowls and a fun to do. Well done Dean, thanks for sharing 👍 👏
My pleasure! Thanks for Watching!!!
Fantastic idea Dean and the pear wood looks terrific. Keep safe, John
Thanks John, you too!
Thank you for that demo, I'm new at woodturning and I've learned a lot from you. I think that little bowl is perfect for me at this point. You are doing a great job with your video demos. Thank you
Thanks Charles Glad it was helpful! Thanks for Watching!!!
Looks really good but think I will walk on your tools look way too much for me. But truly beautiful
Dean, I have decided to do a craft fair in December and was thinking of small bowls along with other bits and so will use this technique and see what happens, cheers old chap.
Good Luck, Thanks for Watching!!!
Love your videos...did anybody ever tell you you sound like Dr Phil..
Thank you, I have not heard that before. Thanks for watching!!!
Hi, great video. I’m going to try these soon. How is the wood attached to the headstock?
Cool
Thanks
Entertaining and educational. A great way to spend 15 minutes or so. You mentioned using spindle gouges and bowl gouges on this project. And other turners have mentioned using both types almost interchangeably. I wonder if it would be a good idea to drop the designation of spindle and bowl and just refer to gouges as shallow flute and deep flute. Thank you for sharing. Have a great holiday and stay safe.
Good point Glen Thanks for Watching!!!
I make little pill bowls, but I do not turn them end grain - I turn them same as larger bowls. I use a worm screw and my 1" Nova jaws to make a small mortise for. I batch them out buy taking a dry limb 4"ish in diameter, cut the top and bottom sides off on table saw, measure and mark my drill spots for the worm screw, drill, back to table saw and cut into individual pieces, round and make the mortises on the batch, use the 1" jaws in expansion and finish
Byron I make those as well this is something I am trying because I can produce them in just a couple minutes per bowl and sell them for less. Thanks for Watching!!
Hi Dean, Great demo on world wide woodturning & this video on small bowl turning! I have a question about what appears to be a vacuum setup on your lathe? Would like to see you explain a little info about it!
Thank you I plan to do a video on the Vacuum setup in the near future its a little to much to cover here in comments. Thanks for Watching!!!
HI Dean, what do you mean by "shaped more like a bowl gouge" but it is a spindle gouge?
The flute is deep for a spindle gouge. Thanks for Watching!
I'm having the same problem. I think I have found a Bulldog chuck spigot jaw with a dovetail. Got it ordered!
let me know how it works, Thanks for Watching!!!
@@DeansWoodworking I also contacted Nova and they stated the 6091 35 mm jaws will fit my G3 chucks. Thanks for your very easy to follow videos.
@@DeansWoodworking Dean- I got the 6091 jaws and they leave too large an opening and are not a good fit. The bulldog spigot jaws fit perfectly . after making the first bowl with marks on the tenon, I made 20 bowls using the bulldog jaws and am very pleased with the results. Thanks again for the excellent video.
I think I can do a big slappy happy bowl if you give me a chance
Go for it you can do it. Thanks for Watching!!
What was the moisture content of the wood before turning?
Very good video. Once again you did an excellent job of explaining and showing your great technique. My dilemma is, I have a chuck, that only closes to 1 & 3/4", so how, once I get the bottom and outside of the bowl turned, and part it off, would I be able to turn it around and turn out the inside of the bowl?
Also, recently, on the world wide web of woodturners, I saw you do a demo on making a platter. It was excellent, and I didn't take enough notes, in hopes that I could replay it and see the steps you took to complete it. However, I cannot locate where to go to see the past demos of the worldwide web of woodturners, when we meet on Wednesday nights.
Thanks again
Tommy Schutz
Tommy another way to do the tiny bowls that might work for you. Turn the outside and inside with the bowl still attached to the limb then part it off that way you don't have to rechuck it. the only downside is you don't get to finsih the bottom as nice but you can always sand it. Thanks for Watching
I've been turning for a shirt while, I just love your content and you're very educational. I was just curious what a bowl like that goes for price wise?
It just depends on the size.
Hi, great video and I’m going to try this soon. Just got my lathe and tools so I’m excited to get started. My question is, how did you attach the piece of wood to the faceplate to complete the outside turning. Thanks
What gouge did you use on the outside of the bowls? mAnd what angle do you grind? Jim Johnson Kansas City.
jim I am not sure but I think that was a 3/8" bowl gouge with a 55 degree grind. Thanks for watching!!
hey Dean, great video as always! Question, would it not be possible and faster to start with a long blank chucked up as you have, make the end the top of the bowl, part down and make your foot then curve down to it. parting off square to start next bowl (after sanding & fish of course) ? I am not a super experienced turner but in my mind that is what I expected you to do before watching video.
yes you can absolutly do it that way what you miss out on is being able to completely finish the bottom on the lathe. Thanks for Watching!!!
Nice project. As you’re end grain hollowing on the inside, would you not cut from centre to outside else you’re cutting directly into the end grain most of the cut?
you are Correct however with a sharp tool you can make it work. Thanks for Watching!!!
Can't wait to try!!!!
Thanks for the Comment and thanks for Watching!!
Are you using fairly dry wood to make sure you do not get cracks? Or as I think I heard, fruit woods do not tend to crack.
This was fairly dry the secret to these is thin consistant wall thickness.
If they sell out how much do you sell them for? That's not a criticism it is just information for me at my craft shows. Please respond because my next show is coming up.
Depends on the size normally anywhere from 7 -15 $
Great video. I was wondering if you ever did this bowl the other way and cut out the centerpiece first and then shaped down the side to the foot
I have, however I like being able to add that little bit to the foot and not having tear out on the foot from the parting tool. You can do it both ways and if you do not have the small jaws you can still do them. I may do another video showing the other way. Thanks for Watching.
I was thinking about that too, since I only have a faceplate for now.
I like those calipers, if that’s what they’re called. I need some
Thanks Jeff and Thanks for Watching!!!
Just discovered your channel - you do a really nice job of explaining step by step. Thanks for the instruction
Thanks Scott, and Thanks for Watching!!!
I tried your process yesterday, ended up with five cute little bowls. Easy, fast and they look good. I used my Oneway Termite to hollow the end grain and it works just great, almost no sanding needed. Thanks, just wish I had a small set of dovetail jaws for my Stronghold Chucks. Using my Spigot Jaws leaves four small compression marks on the tenon…
Great job Peter Thanks for Watching!!!
Super little bowl Dean. Nicely done. I’m thinking in the $15 range?
Thanks Doug I am still trying to figure this out but that is about what I was thinking. Thanks for Watching!!!
Great little project. What size blank are you using? Thanks 😊.
Scott the blank needs to be jus a little longer than the diameter. Thanks for Watching!!!
Thanks! I’m recently retired and getting some stock built up for my first craft sale. Trouble is, I have zero experience in pricing. What would you price this little bowl at?
Daryl It really depends on your area many people get a lot more than I do however we have decided to go with $15. Thanks for Watching!!!
What are the dimensions of the starting stock and the finished bowl?
John I make these from limbs off of the Tree so its just what ever you have. I have made them as small as 1.5" and as big as 4" I hope this helps, Thanks for Watching!!!
Nice small bowl, how can I make an order online, and what is the unit price?
I have been out of the shop Since September 25th last year I do not have any at this time.
Your bowl turned out way different from mine, mine looks like a normal bowl,
Thanks they will all be different.
How much would you charge for a bowl like that at a craft show?
I sold those for $12 ea and sold out early in the show. Thanks for Watching!
I have been without a shop for nearly a year. Now my move is complete and the shop is ready for work. So a couple of questions come to mind. What do you charge for bowls like you demonstrated? What class of people are you selling to? I know, for instance, that a bowl which would go for $50 in an upper class gallery won't sell at a country craft show. I also know that a rough pricing method would be cost of material and cost of time to make the piece. But the cost of wood and the value of my time can very a lot.
Glenn the show that I do covers a huge mix of demographics so its hard to say. I sell these from 10 - 20 depending on size.
@@DeansWoodworking Thanks Dean. That helps.🙂🙂
your very welcome!
Dean whats the best way to keep them from cracking after turning them. I did some end grain tea lamp holders and the pithe was about a 1/4" everyone of them cracked big time.?
Turn them thin and coat them with danish oil or antique oil finish as soon as possible. I have links in the descreption for the antique oil finish. Thanks for Watching!!!
Thanks for the vid!! Am new to this and wanted to ask - It seems that most of your tools are sharpened with a "fingernail" tip. Is this the case with most of the gouges you use?
I use several different grinds, It really depends on what you are doing and what you prefer. Thanks for watching!!!
Green or dry wood
This one was dry but normally they are green. Thanks for Watching!!!
Why did i make one and then watchb the video?
Hi Dean, I just discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying it. Can you tell me if you use a new brush each day for your oil or do you have a magic way of keeping your brush "ungummed" or fresh. Thanks diana
Diana for the walnut oil I can use a brush for a week or so but it dries very slowly, everything else I use it and toss it. Thanks for Watching!!!
Another option I use regularly is simply to put a little on your fingers (or in your palm for larger bowls) and apply with your hands (machine off). With a little practice you won't waste any, won't need a brush, and the residue just gets rubbed into your hands to keep them smooth.
Thanks for the Tip
So how much would you get for that bowel?
Thanks for the video.
It really depends on your area but I sold the last ones for $12 each.
Looks great...noticing it takes as much to make a tiny bowl as a big one...love this tiny 🍐 bowl. We're I closer to Houston I'd surly buy one.
Thank you, and Thanks for Watching!!!
Hi great idea they look great! I just did my first craft fair and would like to make something like these. Question if I may ask what price do you sell these for?? Thanks in advance...
I do 12 each or 2 for 20. Thanks for Watching!!!
Thank you very much!
your very welcome.
what do you charge for it?
It doesn't seem like you have enough of a tendon on the bottom of the bowl for the chuck to grab onto, yet it looks like the chuck grabs it firmly. Optical illusion I guess.
It really does not take a big tennon to hold a small bowl. Thanks for Watching!!!
What kind of partying tool do you use?
That is a 1/8 inch parting tool this particular one was made by Stuart Batty Tools but everyone makes them.
Thanks for Watching!!!
Soooo the chuck marks on the foot?
no chuck marks when you size the tennon correctly. Thanks for Watching!!!
@@DeansWoodworking Thanks, I have to try that.
Give it a try I think you will like the results.
Whoops you already answered that
ok Thanks for Watching!!!
That dangling sleeve SO CLOSE TO THE CHUCK while using the parting tool! A little scary!
I moved from League City to north of Austin a few years ago. Got into turning last year. What part of League City?
South Shore Thanks for Watching!!!
@@DeansWoodworking I moved from the subdivision off 518 and Laguna Point. So very close to you. The street was Misty Morning. I don't know if you ever went there to see my Christmas lights to music.
