In this 4-Ways video you see how I create a bark-rimmed bowl. You see it all in real time, from log to finished bowl, as I design on the fly, cope with glitches and my occasional carelessness. And I encourage you view these three other approaches to making a natural edge bowl.
Tomislav - • How to make live edge ...
Sam - • Turning a Natural Edg...
Mike - • Natural Edge Winged Bo...
4-WAYS comprises Sam Angelo, Mike Peace, Richard Raffan, and Tomislav Tomašić who suggested that having a few turners publish their approach to one project on RU-vid at the same time should be interesting. 4-WAYS publish after noon on the first of each month, US time, which is evening in Europe. For Australasians it’ll be the 2nd. morning of each month. Each video has links to the others.

I always enjoy Richard’s videos. His years of experience and creative abilities work together to make a beautiful piece. Add to that his clear teaching throughout, making him a truly preeminent guide to anyone wanting to learn this amazing skill. Nothing can replace sitting under the tutelage of a master craftsman but these videos can get us in the ballpark lol.

@linmal2242 6 месяцев назад

I totally agree. His turnings and technique are masterful. The only beef I have is that what is the use of a wooden bowl ? Yes, I did one at school workshop when 14, and still have it to put fruit in, carefully. Must watch for mould. OK bowl turning is decorative stuff, but not very useful ! Objet D'art only?

@MikePeaceWoodturning 9 месяцев назад

"Nothing more boring than a demo when everything goes right." True that! Problem solving always gets folks paying attention. Some folks are wondering why the spindle gouge is more convenient for the outside of the bowl than a deep fluted gouge.

@victoryak86 9 месяцев назад

Mike, enjoying these four way projects you guys do. Looking forward to yours and the others as well.

@RichardRaffanwoodturning 9 месяцев назад

My use of a spindle gouge for profiling bowls does seem to cause a lot of needless angst despite it obviously being a pretty handy tool on smaller bowls. Many years ago I found shavings can jam in a deep-fluted bowl gouge flute when there's a hand over the flute deflecting the shavings. I had a tool to prise them out, then realised there's no such problem with shallow gouges - which are also less expensive tools. Of course it's deep-fluted spindle roughing gouges that should never be used on facework.

@Busterblader13 4 месяца назад

@@RichardRaffanwoodturningso theres no issues using a spindle detail gouge on the outside of face work?

@RichardRaffanwoodturning 4 месяца назад

@@Busterblader13 I've found only positive reasons to use a ½" spindle or detail gouge for shaping a bowl profile. The cut is close to the rest, so the strength of a deep-fluted bowl gouge isn't required. The standard spindle gouge is preferred to the detail gouge unless detailing.

@Busterblader13 4 месяца назад

@@RichardRaffanwoodturning thank you, Richard. Im still very green to turning and didnt realize there was a spindle gouge, and a spindle ‘detail’ gouge. I thought they were one in the same.

I remember a workshop in a Paxton's there about 30 years ago. Very high energy hands-on with about 15 lathes and 15 grinders and a lot of noise. Started at 8am, and everyone except me exhausted and gone by 3.30 or so. There are some very memorable workshops.

Richard, You have been my main woodturning inspiration ever since I bought “Turning Wood with Richard Raffan” almost 40 years ago. I made a copy of your “If you have no failures you’re not trying” page from your “Turning Boxes” hanging over my lathe. I think of that page often in life. As a hobbyist, I’ll never be as accomplished as a turner, but I’ll always keep trying! Thanks for sharing your experiences over the years in books and videos!

Thank you Richard. I enjoy your videos and learn something from each one. I dont know if you can answer questions here but i"ll ask any way. I have a 12x21 midi lathe. when I put a fairly large piece of wood on it to do a bark edge bowl I have trouble when i get to the inside. My lathe shakes and I cant get up enough speed to get a smooth cut. thanks for any help you can provide.

Find yourself a mesquite burl if you want to see some amazing grain patterns. Mesquite is very hard on tools though, it retains a lot of sand from the soil it grows in.

@sethwarner2540 9 месяцев назад

Can't believe you just said"Oh, great! Now I'm gonna have to come in from outer space!"(24:15)! HA HA! Stunning color, this piece, BTW!! I don't even know where PISTACHIO grows; just like its icecream! One thing I noticed at the start of this: You Are Excited about This piece! One more revealing item: you said "Ok, I can tell by the sound, it is round now. Sheesh! So, @ 5430, you tap the piece to center it, but WHAT HOLDS THE PIECE ON ? Friction I suppose...How delightfully British for you to say "plaster", meaning bandaide! 56:12-no shame for artists license!

@RichardRaffanwoodturning 9 месяцев назад

When the bowl is reversed on to the jam chuck there is close contact with the jam chuck all the way around, so as the bowl is tapped on some air is squashed from the space between the bowl and chuck, creating a slight vacuum that helps keep the bowl on the chuck. You don't want any force in the cut - it's essential to let the wood come to the tool.

@corriebutcher 9 месяцев назад

Watching your videos has improved my tool handling immensely. Thank you for taking the time to help the wood turning community. I would like to know why you like to have the highest and lowest points of the bowl on the same axis?

@RichardRaffanwoodturning 9 месяцев назад

This is so a natural-edge piece looks good from any view point. To me this bowl is good from only one side.

@kenvasko2285 9 месяцев назад

Another gem, video and bowl. Can you speak to your philosophy on the shape of the bottom of the bowl on the outside? What is the relationship between the curve of the bowl and the foot?

@RichardRaffanwoodturning 9 месяцев назад

That's a big topic that occupies about the first third of my book Turned Bowl Design published in 1987. The first third of the revamped version, The Art of Turned Bowls, is much the same. Basically I don't want a utilitarian bowl to fall over.

What a gorgeous heartwood! I've never seen pistacchio before. Does it always show such a mix of ebony and extreme grain pattern? What a pity you lost most of it by choosing a tenon.

@RichardRaffanwoodturning 3 месяца назад

This was the first and only pistacchio I've turned so I have no idea what to expect in other trees. The wood will darken so in the long run the darker wood won't be so outstanding. Form tops grain patterns every time.

@Cancun771 4 месяца назад

Do you put CA glue on the bark or anything like that?

@RichardRaffanwoodturning 4 месяца назад

I don't use CA glue for anything longterm as it tends to give way after five or six years. I use 10 miknute epoxy when I do fill gaps. Felling trees in winter is the best approach to keeping bark on a log but retaining the bark is never guaranteed.

@user-tr2hi3ze6y 6 месяцев назад

How in the heck do you get the piece to stick on the block (in the chuck) with the "shoulder", secure enough to use the scraper on the other side? Magic?

I have faith in my excellent chucks and minimal tool pressure against the wood. The latter is the real key to turning.

@RichardRaffanwoodturning 8 месяцев назад

I'm okay with the beads defining the bowl but was never happy with the out-of-kilta natural edge, or indeed the form. Within a week the bowl warped enough that I deemed it to be firewood, but it was saved by a friend who loved both the grooves and distortion. For me it was a demo piece that did it's job in getting people thinking.
