As the once famous 80s rapper said: “I like big bowls and I can not lie…” 🤣😂🤣 Awesome job Double-D, love the giant ones! I am so super jelly of the size of bowl you can turn.
@@TournageDubois it’s funny or coincidental that I’m coming up against a few of the exact same issues with my current project. Unbalanced end grain turning. If it holds together, and I don’t make a lamp shade, I’ll be grinding the bottom of my plate as well. Using Mahoney’s too. Not sure if u have or not, but don’t be afraid to paint the oil on the bark. It works great.
What a beast! I agree that pecan gets really hard when it's dry. I'm finish turning so pecan bowls right now and I'm having to resharpen after just a few passes. However, it is beautiful with an oil finish like you used. Love the feathering in your bowl. Bravo Dan!
Excellent work on this BEAUTIFUL bowl. I like the walnut oil on this one. You may find that after about a week a second/third coat will really give the piece a rich finish that is so inviting. BTW, did you brush some oil on the bark? It will help it stay on over time.

Thanks, Tim! You always can make me laugh!!!
That was a beast of a project, Daniel, but well worth it. That piece is beautiful. It looks like you'll be turning pecan for a long time to come.

Thanks, Bill! It was indeed quite a beast. And I still have another huge chunk to get!
Yes. Great job, Daniel. Gorgeous live edge bowl. 😊😊
Thank you, Rob! Definitely was NOT a light piece!
I love the shirt. “I wear this shirt periodically” 😂😂 now to finish watching the video.
LOL!!! Glad you laughed a bit!
Love going through the process. The piece turned out great. Love the feathering and the grain. Oh yeah, I love the periodical T-shirt too.
Thanks, Jean! I appreciate the feedback!
Whew! Now that was worth doing!
Thank you, Valerie! I appreciate that!
Hi Daniel, That is massive and looks amazing.
Great work turning it my friend.
Take care Daniel.
Cheers, Huw
Thank you, Huw! And congrats on your recent milestone!
Dang that was huge. Nice
Yeah, it really is, Jonathan! Thanks for the feedback!
Excellent
Each piece has its own challenges, but it’s always worth it. Killer grain.
Thank you, John! I agree with how unique each piece is!

I certainly will be doing that with my next two coats.
Very nice bowl, Daniel!! Love it!
Thanks, Billy! It sure beat me up! Glad it was worth the effort!
good work man I love it
Thank you, Sid! I appreciate you!
And, WOW!!! What a great piece!!! Impressive!!

Wow. That is a wonderful piece. Love crotch pieces and what patterns they produce.
Thanks, Clyde! They really are amazing!

Thank you, Stuart! Hopefully you'll share some pics of your pieces!
@@TournageDubois I put up a video showing the roughed out blanks earlier this week. But I will post pictures of the completed bowls… if I remember 🤣

Thanks, Doug! I will brush on some oil with the second coat and third, but was trying to get it done in time for this morning... LOL
I just found your channel and this is the first video I have watched. Keep up the great work. What shield/respirator are you using?

Nice. Great work now go take a rest.
Thanks, Bum! I need one after that piece!
