Normally not a fan of the live edge.This is a happy and beautiful exception! Love the way you left the original shape flat plate incorporated into bowl. Super cool idea!
Gosh ..... first time I've seen a Record woodturning lathe in all the videos I've watched, I used to hanker after one of them when I bought handtools in Buck and Ryan's on Tottenham Court Road. Excellent, thank you !
wow, that was such a good video.. the grain on this piece is fantastic, the final shape turned out great and the finish came out great too.. but I love all that spalting and grain... thank you for sharing..
Very different approach and result from a crotch piece. Will approach the pieces I have in my wood shed in an alternate way in the future. Keep up the thought provoking videos. Doug in South Australia.
About ten years ago I gave a chunk of Osage Orange to a friend of mine who is an experienced bowl maker, and he said that as he tried trimming the piece down that small chunks flew off and left cavities that made it even harder to deal with on the second pass, so that he gave up on it. Osage Orange is the hardest wood growing in north America.But I bet if someone could make a bowl out of it that it would last for 1000 years.
Question: if I put something that non-symetrical on my lathe it would wobble so terribly that it may fall over (or at least walk across the shop). How do you make it turn so true with a non-round blank?
Good question. i have lots of weight under the benchtop helping to keep lathe stable. that piece was not that non-symmetrical what it looks. litlle bit tweaking between centers while belt is off(easy to find sweetspot when belt is off).
Thanks! 12*36 inches or 30*90cm between centers. headstock swiveled 15 inches diameter manufacturer tells. and it have 450w motor and 3 speeds 450 950 2000 rpm. good lathe but i am dreaming to get someday bigger and more powerful lathe.
Wow, absolutely beautiful, How long was the total time in turning this piece of art ? ///// Vau, aivan kaunista, kuinka kauan tämän taideteoksen kääntämiseen kului aikaa?
hard to say. filming takes so much time along with work. Maybe it took about 15-20 hours to do this project, including editing and filming. I don't take the time though when this is just a hobby.
Awesome project. I'm going to give you some advice even though you don't know me, and you didn't ask. Set the piece turning and then look through the camera. If it's blurry slowly change the lathe speed until it clears, this might take a few tries. If the picture is clear, it will be much more enjoyable to watch, and you will gain more subscribers. I have just subscribed to your channel, and I hope you are not offended by this comment. 😎
Thanks for commenting! this lathe have only 3 speeds 500 1000 or 2000. hard to turn slowly speed =D my camera gives me bad times or i cant use it properly. i struggle lot of with filming.but learning always something new with every project. And thanks for subscribing ill try to keep getting better videos to watch!
have to feel where to cut and wich order to keep plank balanced. this plank of birch thankfully was pretty balanced start to finish ! always it is not that easy.
@@jarkko.makkonen It sounds like it is something that would not be easy for a beginner if it was an odd shape. Probably a beginner should get some experience wood turning on more or less symmetrical pieces first.
@@jarkko.makkonen muotoilu on tekijän näkemys. Mielestäni aivan sama mitä mieltä muut, vaikka mainitsinkin asiasta. Onko puutilanne helpottunut? Sorvattavaa löytyy?
thanks for commenting! i will try my best to do things what no one have seen ever but it isnt easy. I have a few projects in mind as long as I find the suitable blanks.. stay tuned!
