Wood Turned Plum Bowl

Three years ago I scored some big pieces of plumb wood. I turned one of the pieces in to a bowl blank with the intention of making a live edge bowl. As I let the bowl dry it cracked in a bunch of places. Before finishing the turning on the bowl I filled the cracks with resin. I then did the final turning on the bowl with the resin in place. Except where I lost a few pieces of bark the bowl turned out really nice. I also carved feet for the bowl instead of a rimed base.

I don't know what I'm more jealous, the skills or the workshop. Definitely the skills, the workshop can be purchased. Nicely done Frank!

@supermonkee48 7 лет назад

I love the juxtaposition of the futuristic technology (3D scanning, CNC machine, Six Million Dollar Man) being used to bring out the inherent natural beauty of the live edge. It's a nice blend of machine and nature. Wonderful video as always, Frank.

@waynegoebel395 7 лет назад

Beautiful bowl, Frank. THAT would be an heirloom piece if there ever was one... cost of materials, $0... labor of love, $6,000,000... heirloom piece, priceless... well done.

@tobermorywomble23 7 лет назад

Wow.. This made me realise I've been watching and being inspired by your videos for 4 years now. And still loving them.

@gordroberts53 7 лет назад

The world has been bit scary of late, 17:30 minutes with Frank and the world is just a little brighter. Thanks Frank!

@elainegreen5855 4 года назад

I agree!

@HiVizCamo 4 года назад

Some scarier now, June 2020. Still it's nice to take a break from it.

@bwillan 7 лет назад

That is dedication to the craft. Keeping video footage for 3 years to complete a project. Great job on the bowl too.

@frankgel 7 лет назад

You, my dear sir, are simply the best woodworker in youtube. In your case, it can't even be called woodwork, more like woodart.

@MoYvStarkey 5 лет назад

Love the coloring of the wood. I like the choices you make on the fly. You don't let a thing like the section of wood coming off get to you. You are a fine example of shop safety.

@PhilipMoonTunes 5 лет назад

Frank, I just love your videos. They are all so polished. Your narratives are what make your videos great. Your voice is calming and inviting, giving us all the impression of what a sincere gentleman you are. Keep up the fantastic work!

@lynnchance7015 7 лет назад

I have turned a small natural edge bowl from a wild plumb limb and loved the color and pattern of the grain. I have never seen a plumb tree as big as this one and I really like the finished piece!

@lint2023 7 лет назад

Maybe the most captivating and interesting and talented man on youtube. The idea of capturing the shavings accumulating on the floor was fantastic. That was artistic in itself.

@iraydiaz5888 7 лет назад

Life is an experiment, that is why 'live and learn' is a saying. Beautiful work. I hope to one day be as talented as yourself.

@kristenblack3930 7 лет назад

that bowl turned out so beautifully! and I got a good chuckle out of the 6 million dollar man reference!

@grahamjones2759 5 лет назад

Love the hushed, reverential commentary. Beautiful piece. I love how we are talked through the thinking behind the piece and then can watch to see how it turns out.

@TommyBrisbane 7 лет назад

Another beautiful piece Mr Howarth. Your solution to holding the bowl on the lathe so you could carve the bottom of the bowl was like watching a separate build, it was awesome.

@jessjulian9458 7 лет назад

Frank you are amazing. I could watch your videos all night. Your narration is exceptional. Thanks for sharing.

@andrewoatman6745 4 года назад

Nobody else would start a project just to produce chips to test a different project, then continue with the project as an experiment, ending with something gorgeous that looked like it was the plan all along. Genius.

@KyleShevlin 7 лет назад

The jig you created is pretty genius. I was really impressed with that.

@slightlyskewed 7 лет назад

Frank. You are simply a humble genius. Thanks for another great video.

@thesnowedone 7 лет назад

That rig to reverse the live edge on the lathe was awesome; I would not have thought of that - very cool Frank!

@mickeyd2128 7 лет назад

Fantastic work! And, I love the Six Million Dollar Man references! That was my dad's favorite show growing up, and he's now got my brothers and I hooked!

@Twansaxstudent11190 7 лет назад

The final shape of the bowl and feet in combination remind me of a butterfly perched on something. Especially with the colors of the wood and how the sapwood is at the edges of the "wings" of the bowl. Really beautiful project, Frank!

@teejaded 7 лет назад

Frank, I'm not a huge fan of most wood turning projects, but this bowl is absolutely gorgeous. Easily some of your best work.

@DontTreadOnMeToo 7 лет назад

I could listen to you all day...it is a pleasure to watch you work...thanks frank

@Chef_PC 5 лет назад

I audibly gasped at the bright purple color that came up at 2:36 when you drilled out the center core. Just beautiful!!

@danielcummings8226 7 лет назад

Frank, I think the plum bowl is your best yet. Nice job.

@pipinghotsos 7 лет назад

As ever, this entire video was simply exceptional, from the incredible production quality to the absolutely beautiful and creative product. Something that struck me in particular was the fantastic sequence showing the components of the bowl clamp on the lathe. Loved it.

@HiVizCamo 4 года назад

I had no idea plum trees got that big, such beautiful wood!

@stephiehellyeah2557 7 лет назад

I love this piece so much! It's definitely my favorite. So organic. And the resin makes the bowl even more beautiful. Genius! 👌💖

@markdesolate 7 лет назад

Hey Frank, i am absolutly blown away by the idea of the support jig. A-maz-ing!! Keep up the turning!! Greetings from the Netherlands.

@kotsverslimme 7 лет назад

I'm still astounded by the amount of work and skill you put into these wonderful pieces. As always a joy to watch and listen to.

@namewithoutdigits 7 лет назад

Love how you have added aerial shots and even more animations to what was already stellar production work. Thanks for sharing!

@craftedworkshop 7 лет назад

Absolutely incredible work, Frank. That turned out gorgeous.

@davidflatt8661 5 лет назад

Beautiful work, I loved the way Frank made the viewer aware of his design thought process, very well done video!

@georgebell7103 7 лет назад

I haven't watched your videos lately, because you did so much on the CNC that I could not possibly do. This was very nice.

@TomasSab3D 7 лет назад

The story line is awesome... the flow, the rhythm... awesome all over.

@angelamaro1693 7 лет назад

At first I thought it was going to look like the Death Star ,but then what an amazing project . every time l think that it's just another project it turns out to be an amazing project . And just like your other viewers said an hour video is so interesting it's over in five minutes. keep the videos coming. Upsman retired local 63 California.

How wonderful; a beautiful and pleasing piece! Thanks for sharing all of your well-spent shop time!

@lmt6187 5 лет назад

8 videos in and this is my favorite piece! You're great Frank!

@Luke__D__ 7 лет назад

Those time lapse shots with the changing angle are awesome

@suep9445 4 года назад

Beautiful!! The cracks actually added to the beauty. I'm glad you persevered on this one.

@MichaelAlm 7 лет назад

Really beautiful Frank! I love how the epoxy kind of looks like tree resin in the cracks. Thanks for sharing!

@ScullyBrewing 7 лет назад

I really like the way the resin looks in the cracks, that natural edge also really looks superb!

@cobberpete1 7 лет назад

A lot of things involved here which bring out the great artist you are. The vision for the piece. the extreme patience and ingenuity. Well done Frank on such a beautiful bowl

@NessieFromTheLoch 7 лет назад

I absolutely LOVE the look of the resin filled cracks!

@FullSendPrecision 7 лет назад

You're the most patient man ever. Great job!

@PKedByBlade 7 лет назад

Easily one of my favorite pieces, unbelievable natural structure and aesthetics to that piece of wood; I'm actually glad that piece of bark chipped off.

@ronartenstein 7 лет назад

My gosh Frank, your skills are tremendous. An artist with wood. Your trademark I feel is the ability to turn an experiment into a fabulous piece, seemingly making your plan out along the way. It's adds this sense of spontaneity that translates into your work. A brilliant eye for potential Mr. Howarth.

@kostazateasealot3245 7 лет назад

the little logs make it look alive... I love it!

@philsmith2746 7 лет назад

1 Bowl to rule them all....outstanding piece and process!!!

@Diegoscomeback 7 лет назад

Dont know if you are the best woodturner, but certainly the best editor of the kind, and surely creative, gj.

@bobsonclimber 7 лет назад

I'm always in awe of your ingenuity and craftsmanship Frank, you never fail to impress! Rob.

@_amb._5552 5 лет назад

I have to mention one of my favorite things about this piece is how the color from the wood leached into the resin just a little bit and made it a slight shade of red the plum color of the wood is gorgeous and the contrast between all the colors of the wood and the bark that's leftover is wonderful

@pccalcio 7 лет назад

the best thing is that you genuinely have fun doing things

@Disco.Wizard 7 лет назад

Wow that is honestly the nicest woodturned bowl I have ever seen, excellent work!

@DwightMS1 7 лет назад

Gorgeous Frank! I like how you apply intelligence to every project, and how you explain why and how you do everything.

@TheBbraamse08 7 лет назад

Frank, that thing looks awesome! Please, keep up the great work! I greatly enjoy seeing your creativity in your builds. You are experimenting with new ideas and posting them for us to see. It is great to see you learn and, in turn, we learn from it as well.

@nairbllebpmac4179 7 лет назад

Another amazing project! I love the fact that you aren't afraid to tackle projects that require techniques you haven't used before.

@Ritercrazy 6 лет назад

Beautiful bowl. Very pleasing to the eye. Jig is great idea. Just so smart all around.

@tonyo.8623 7 лет назад

Love the colors in that wood. Also love how you're always trying different technicques with wood turning. Thanks!

I know when I go to heaven I will have Frank Howard and Bob Ross on repeat :) So many happy little accidents :)

@RedemptiondesignsNJ 7 лет назад

I love this! The wild edge is fascinating and beautiful. I'm grateful you left all of the discovery process in. Excellent film work as well.

@Ravn000 7 лет назад

Possibly one of the most beautiful objects I have ever seen... Thank you for doing this and showing it to us!

@eviederbyshire4769 5 лет назад

Absolutely Gorgeous! A ton of work but worth every second! Perseverance is the name of the game with this project, Love it 💖 Well done! 🌟

@travwilson281 7 лет назад

Perfect. As always. Thanks for sharing this. Your gift brightens the world.

@SRG-Learn-Makers 7 лет назад

You are truly an artist. Your woodwork is as brilliant as your filmmaking and both together are priceless. Thanks for sharing this hard and beautiful job.

@WittAllen 7 лет назад

I highly admire all the forethought, patience, ingenuity, and determination it took to make this piece. It's a beautiful, beautiful creation.

@edparker147 5 лет назад

What an inspiration! This bowl is such a beautiful piece of art.

@marccutler1338 7 лет назад

What a great piece! Shared this with my Father ( also an architect, Father, and wood junkie). He turned my boys each a beautiful live edge bowl in the same fashion as yours. Thanks for sharing the experience and the Six Million Dollar Man Theme! Marc

@philipvale1674 4 года назад

Hi very impressed with your skills you obviously been doing this for quite a few years, myself I am retired I'm 68 years old I live in part of France , I am English . I still have some of my woodworking machinery, like my big Watkin woodwork in lathe, because I'm retired I do not have a lot of money so just recently I've been trying to make my own tools I've just made myself a hook gouge. Once again very impressed with your work. Stay safe in these bad times of the virus as we are in lockdown in France. So trying to keep myself busy. Phil from the Moulin in France.

@balazspoka5100 7 лет назад

The biggest problem with this video that it ended too soon. :) Great work of art Frank!

@SteveCole73 5 лет назад

Late to the party, but wow that edge looks so delicate. It is amazing that the bark stayed put. Well done.

@ScrapwoodCity 7 лет назад

Wow, amazing piece! So many techniques involved in this project! Thanks for sharing!

@kit38801 5 лет назад

Best turning video I've seen to date. That plum is spectacular. Good job.

@douglasbrown8113 7 лет назад

This was an awesome piece. I like how you kept both the turned piece and its respective video for 3 years to complete this one. I was almost hoping that when you were filling the cracks you would add some copper to the epoxy to have a feel similar to Japanese broken pottery.

@squareoctopus 7 лет назад

Incredibly beautiful work. It makes it even better to have seen the process.

@andy4an 7 лет назад

gotta say, it's great to see more classical frank makes work. the CNC is awesome, but i appreciate seeing some videos where it's use is more the background than the focus.

@MaximumJonathanosity 7 лет назад

Everything you do is impressive, but this one is absolutely incredible.

@GeorgeWelman 7 лет назад

Awsome!!!!!!! Frank, you are a true artist!!!!!!! Very inspiring for me and I guess also for lots of people!!!!!!!

@Nissimus 7 лет назад

Your facial expressions when using the table saw are priceless :) Thank you for another great work and presentation !

@Nighthawkinlight 7 лет назад

Hot glue to seal the cracks for resin filling is brilliant! I like it. I've had a lot of trouble with that. Even if you stretched a piece of rubber or something over the outside of the cracks and used hot glue to seal around the borders that should work great to get the resin flush with the surface. Tip: you can remove hot glue from wood by soaking it briefly in rubbing alcohol. It peels right off.

@dwaynewladyka577 7 лет назад

NightHawkInLight Cool to see you here.

@frankmakes 7 лет назад

Thanks. There is a spot on the bark where i need to get the hot glue off.

@dominicdelprincipe2583 7 лет назад

Looks like a flower about to bloom... stunning

@RichardHubbuck 5 лет назад

Frank, the fantastic quality of your videos and editing, together with your commentary are just a joy to behold.

@johnyoung2877 7 лет назад

well worth the three year wait and adding those feet is quite unique, well done

@vanessahorig8374 7 лет назад

Absolutely love this project Frank! I think the fact that you tried something different really paid off! Also great thinking in trying to solve problems while woodworking, quite genius!

@RogiervanReekum 7 лет назад

@deej19142 7 лет назад

Six million Dollar Man! YES, that takes me back to my youth.

@shimmeister1062 5 лет назад

Well done Frank - a truly beautiful piece. This is the first video of your's that I have seen seen - it won't be the last. Three things I really enjoy. One, seeing a well equipped with all the toys. Two, seeing someone who can actually use that equipment and three, seeing a great project come to life.

@divyajnana 7 лет назад

Great call adding that little amount of red to the resin. Beautiful piece, thank you

@FernandoCruz-bf1uw 7 лет назад

Wow!!! Amazing project Frank.

@aldurin 6 лет назад

Frank, I don't really know if this is what you were going for with this video, but I thought it would be nice to tell you. It's exactly 4:00 AM here where I live, and I'm having a really difficult sequence of days (more like weeks) -- big decisions and potencial big changes ahead in my life. So, it's a monday morning, I should be waking up to work in a few hours, but I just can't sleep. My head is all over the place; doesn't leave me alone. And then, I made a cup of tea, sat here and watched this video. And, Frank, I have to thank you. These images made me calmer than I ever been in the last week. I watch your channel for years, now. Love your work, the quality of your videos, the funny bits and the beauty of your woodwork. I really hope that you read this and that knowing that you helped me today gives you a little smile. Thanks. Wish you all the best.
