In this video I turn a bowl from a cutoff section of construction lumber beam. The wood was given to me by a friend and he challenged me to turn a bowl from the scrap cutoff. Never one to back down from a challenge, I was happy to chuck up this interesting chunk of wood and see what I could make out of it.
Thanks to everyone who has subscribed to my channel in recent months. Earning a living has required me to travel more than usual this past year, and I have not had a chance to turn much or edit videos lately. Thanks for your patience.

the way the grain lines up, or doesn't however you want to look at it looks awsome with that shape. beautiful work

@williamlewis6328 5 лет назад

Old video but LOVE the bowl! I worked with wood for 37 years but never turned. Never knew such a world existed! I missed the boat. Hate that. But I always tried to find a way to use every piece of scalp I could. I applaud you sir!!

Who'd a thunk it, construction lumber... really nice Chas, as always. I (as well as others, I'm sure) have missed seeing new postings from you. Glad to see you are still at it. Looking forward to watching your new Bradford Pear video this evening, as well. Thanks for inspiring us.

Kevin Wenrick Thank you very much, Kevin. You are very kind.

i just watched 'segmented wood bowl' ..this is a beautiful piece of turned art ..16 in dia ..just amazing and will make a great gift back to the man who salvaged the construction lumber ..wish i had the skills you have .

@mrlacroft 10 лет назад

Great bowl. I'm sure the man will be very happy with it and you will see more wood from him. lucky guy.

@chas6444 10 лет назад

mrlacroft I think his wife has already laid claim to it...

@24296333 9 лет назад

Great work Chas. The size and form go so well together. Doesn't need any fancy finish, it will look fantastic just sealed and waxed sitting in the middle of my table, ha. Enjoyed the video. Many thanks.

Alan Biddulph Thank you, Alan. You are very kind.

@johncotreau1216 9 лет назад

Nice Job. Yeah the first time I saw pine used in construction I was surprised. Hard southern yellow pine is popular now in construction. Plenty of strength, but very hard to work.

@chas6444 8 лет назад

Pine and "white wood" are used heavily here in Texas.

@davidclauson6681 10 лет назад

Good to see you back, nice bowl. Always enjoy your videos and Jays. Hopefully you'll be able to get back to the shop, but you gotta make a living. Thanks and take care, David

@chas6444 10 лет назад

David Clauson Thanks, David. Yeah, that making a living thing definitely cuts into my turning time. But I hope to have more time now that we are getting in to the holiday season, my travel and workload should let up a little... (hopefully)

@MikeWaldt 10 лет назад

Beautiful piece Chas, a fine example of creativity, and skill. hope to see more from you in the near future. Take care Mike

@chas6444 10 лет назад

Mike Waldt Thanks, Mike.

@glennjohnson1670 10 лет назад

Turned out very nice. One should note that when using construction scrap lumber to never use a piece of treated lumber. The chemicals used in the process can be extremely dangerous if inhaled from the dust.

@chas6444 10 лет назад

Glenn Johnson Very true indeed, Glenn. I don't mess with the pressure treated wood.. this was just plain old pine, so my only concern was the adhesive. I used a mask when sanding and my "shop" is well ventilated when I have the garage door open... Cheers!

@johnconklin9039 10 лет назад

Very nice bowl. Glad to see a video from you again.

@chas6444 10 лет назад

@ravenhart5796 8 лет назад

Impressive bowl considering where the material cam from which was scraps from construction . Very nice use of what would have other wise been landfill thank you for the video.

Hey Chas... How about revisiting the Bowl to see what your friend did with it? I would like to see the Finish he put on it and know what he did with the Bowl... That was one Awesome Job you did with the Lumber...

@chrisleech1565 6 лет назад

Hi, first timer on your channel Chas. First I'll mention the great turning. Gorgeous engineered beam bowl :-)That control on the backside of your beautiful Powerall lathe looks very much like a VFD (variable freq. drive) out of a CNC Router . I am currently building one for 3D wood carving. I am swamped with the steep learning curve of new "stuff" . I must go look at more of your other uploads. Best regards, C

absolutely beautiful

@longdriver2 4 года назад

I was told that lambeams are treated lumber. I have a piece in my shop right now. I plan on wearing a respirator when I turn it.

@theheyseed 3 года назад

That is not treated lumber.

@papasteve215 5 лет назад

Very nice. Very nice. Just subscribed Thanks for the video

I've seen beams of that girth used to span the top of garage doors in 2-storey houses. They have to be strong enough to support everything above the front 1/2 of the garage (the back wall supports the back 1/2). If that beam delaminated, it would be Lawsuit City! So, the chance of your bowl delaminating, is less than it splitting. The wood type, is Douglas Fir, not pine. I have a few laminated beam offcuts of that and smaller sizes, that I found in construction dumpsters.

@chas6444 9 лет назад

Double Dare Fan Thanks for your comment. If you're a turner, give those offcuts a go on the lathe. Cheers!

@doubledarefan 9 лет назад

Chas Thornhill That's exactly why I'm keeping them.

@jimbennett2940 5 лет назад

Very nice looking piece! As a newbie to turning, I’m wondering how you held it in place, centered, when you r versed it to finish off the bottom?

@chas6444 5 лет назад

Jim Bennett - I just jam-chucked bowls by using a faceplate (or scroll chuck with the jaws opened wide) on the headstock, with some foam shelf liner material for traction, then bring up the revolving center and “jam” the bowl against the faceplate. That provides a firm enough grasp and drive to finish the bottom with light cuts and sanding pressure.

@KamalPiyushIndia 4 года назад

Beautiful bowl but please try and utilise the wood better by making smaller bowls out of the core of the big bowl.

@Gleamiarts 8 лет назад

The seagull is hilarious.

@lindseysturkie2205 4 года назад

Great work and creativity but I don't get why you don't provide a flatter or wider base on your projects. On your Bradford pear vessel the foot is too small. On this segmented bowl it looks like the base is slightly rounded rather than flat. This will make it wobbled spin.

@smitm108 10 лет назад

Chas - I missed the comment if mentioned but will you be applying a finish? If so, I hope you post a picture or two. Thank you ...

@chas6444 10 лет назад

Mark, I plan to let the guy who gave me the scrap wood finish the bowl if he wants to. I'll ask him to post a reply here with a link to pics if he does. Thanks for the comment.

@ricksilk485 7 лет назад

Turned out pretty good for a piece of offcut ....... made something out of nothing , magic.

@scottsherfey1712 7 лет назад

nice

@Josef_R 9 лет назад

You just left the bottom round with no foot on it?

@chas6444 9 лет назад

The bottom isn't round. There is a flat area roughly 5 or 6 inches in diameter. But you are correct in that there isn't a foot.

@kevinmorgan1645 8 лет назад

Looks like Douglas Fir. Nice looking bowl

@johnkosichek7932 9 лет назад

nice going pal, this piece of lumber is not pine, but spruce. pine does not have the strength for construction

@tippyc2 9 лет назад

+John Kosichek Actually, this is a piece of a Douglas Fir glulam beam manufactured by Rosboro. And Pine is used for construction, it would be common in Texas, where Chas seems to be from.
