Woodturning - Large Natural Edge Bowl - Red Oak [Live Edge]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Using wood from a nearby street tree that was cut down a few weeks ago, I share my method for turning a large irregular blank into a large natural edge bowl with the bark still intact. I mostly use a 5/8" and 1/2" bowl gouge for this one. This piece turned out surprisingly nice, considering it came from a small-ish neighborhood red oak tree (maybe a pin oak or black oak). I generally prefer white oak, but red oak species have some redeeming characteristics.
Thanks for watching! Feel free to ask questions in the comments; I try to get to them all.

Очень красивая чаша, лайк без спорный 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Hi Chad thus bowl is just awesome and stunningly beautiful magnificent and spectacular.
Thank you very much!
Nice natural edge bowl. Off camera sanding is always appreciated but would like if you told us just how much time it took to sand. In this video you said an hour but couldn’t tell if that was fact or hyperbole. It just adds a layer of appreciation of the time and effort in getting a good surface on a project. Thanks
An hour is what I was expecting, but it went a little faster than that - probably 40 minutes or so to get it to 320 grit and remove the tenon. I hadn't sanded it yet when the video went up. Since it was red oak with coarse grain, it's a bit easier to sand than something with fine grain, like pear. Thanks for watching!
I admire your patience and work. Ver nice bowl.
Thank you very much!
Nice bowl, what were u using at the end of your turning to smooth out the bottom? It looked like a round edged scraper but i couldn’t tell
It was a bowl scraper that I ground with a rounder nose.
beautiful piece ... great job!
Thanks, Neil!
Great piece Chad.
Thanks, Doug!
Well done sir! Another beauty.
Thanks, Joel!
What do you think of that face shield and respirator? Does it work well over time?
I LOVE it! I've had it for a few months and it's worked perfectly, so far.
@@ChadEamesWoodWorks Great! I just got mine last week!!
What respirator is it?
@@steveellis3014 It is from Peke Safety pekesafety.com/collections/the-powercap-active
Thanks for your quick reply, I’ve looked at several respirators and have not made a decision yet, there seems to be pros and cons for all of them. Your input is helpful.
Wow.....this is one the nicest live edge turns yet....a tough little piece patiently and carefully turned....and don't get me started on the beauty of the grain! I hope you manage to get this to cure (dry) slowly so the bark can be held intact. Don't know if linseed oil or some other treatment would help but you have my best wishes. Take care Chad.
Thanks so much! I’m drying it in two paper bags and it’s doing well so far. Seems like the bark might actually stay attached. I’ll probably sand it tomorrow, apply oil, and let it cure/dry for a few more days in a couple bags. It was definitely nicer than I was expecting!
Thanks for taking the time to show how you adapted to get the piece on the lathe. That can be the hardest part of a turn. Please let us know how that piece turns out. Have you tried using a microwave to dry pieces after turning?
I'm glad you found the aligning of the bowl helpful; I was hoping someone would. I should have some photos of the piece on my IG/FB in the next few days. So far, it's looking good. I occasionally use the microwave to help dry a piece, but usually only when I'm trying to create extra dramatic warping of the wood. Brown paper grocery bags are my go-to drying method - it's simple, easy, cheap, reliable, and readily available. Thanks for watching, David!
