A few weeks ago I turned a sequoia (redwood) bowl, cut from a large log. A lot of you requested I do it again but this time turned the other way up so it had a natural edge. How did I get on? Well you had better watch and find out. Will it be an Unbelievable Redwood Transformation?

High quality images of this piece can be seen on my Facebook, Instagram and Ko-Fi pages, links available from my home page.

@thebigtree74 Год назад

That is beautiful, the fact that you saved the branch jutting out gives it so much more personality.

@MikeHolton Год назад

Thanks Tessa, it would have been a lot easier to loose it but where is the fun in that 😀, all the best, Mike

@LOTGiscool 7 месяцев назад

These two bowls are fantastic. You really brought out nature's beauty in them. As far as that log cabin goes - they'd both go great in the living room, with either of them being used as a fruit bowl.

Beautiful bowl I love the knot left in. It looks like it was starting to be a handle or something. Congratulations on all your subscribers and I’m glad to be one of them

@paulevans180 Год назад

Mike really glad you turned it this way, I agree with you this is my favourite. Leaving part of the branch was a great idea.

@MikeHolton Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it Paul, the branch made it quite a bit harder than the first one but so worth the effort. 😀

@neilhfrancis1334 Год назад

Yup, my favourite thus far. Just shows that bowls do not have to be symmetrical, but can flow with nature beautifully. Exceptional vision made real - well done sir.

@MikeHolton 11 месяцев назад

Thank you very much Neil, I love turning pieces like this and when the grain is this good it's the icing on the cake 😊

@jeramiahcrosier3481 Год назад

It is really cool seeing similar blanks turned 2 different ways. I can see why folks tend to go to live-edge for crotch pieces, and why woodturners like them so much. Also, my wife thinks that it is hilarious that woodturners fight over "crotch" pieces.

@MikeHolton Год назад

Haha thanks Jerimiah, just wondering if I would fight for a nice crotch, probably lol 😂

@RenaLarson61 Год назад

I loved the first sequoia bowl, and this one is equally beautiful, leaving the high side of the know was the right thing to do, loved it

Hi Rena, I'm glad I left it as well, it made more work but it was worth it! 😀

@donaldadams5342 9 месяцев назад

I love Sequoia wood when turned with skill. You have shown your skill Mike with this half of the the same crotch as the 'sister' bowl. Leaving the knot was a touch of genius I think & as I said in my opening, you have handled & preserved it with great skill & sensitivity. The ripples from the crotch look amazing too & add a touch of class to the already beautiful grain. An amazing piece & I think with the knot & the natural edge put this just ahead of its 'sister' bowl which is also so beautiful. Well done my friend, Don from South Australia.

@MikeHolton 9 месяцев назад

Thanks so much Don, I really try to work with the wood to keep as just of it's character as possible. I can force it into any shape I like but it would never be as good. All the best, Mike

I love the wavy colors of the grain of this wood and you picked the perfect finishes for it. You really picked out the perfect location to cut the natural edge of the bowl Mike and I was a little worried that a piece of that branch was going to be too loose and pop out, but it was joined in with the rest of the piece very nicely. Spectacular bowl!

@susanburrows5288 11 месяцев назад

These two bowls are a fascinating pair! I like both of them, but the live edge is so gorgeous, I love it. For me, the fact that you left the branch in which "explains" to the viewer why the colors are the way they are is a big reason the live edge is my favorite of these two.

Hello Mike. When you turned the first bowl I was stunned by how beautifully it turned out. And I am really pleased you have done the second quite quickly, so those who watched the first are still able to make a sound decision as to which they prefer. To me, this one certainly takes this piece of wood to another level. It is fabulous and you should be rightly proud of it. Well done! Now …. The next question …. What are you going to delight us with when you turn the cut off ends from both pieces? 🤔

@MikeHolton Год назад

Thanks so much Angela and that is a very good question. The end pieces are not as interesting (although my prove to be) so not sure, I guess the obvious thing to do would be to do the same, turn on standard and one natural edge. But I will give it some thought to see if I can think of something more interesting 😀
