Woodturning Mahogany and Maple Bowl 

Beautiful work and creative way to use the dowel for attention points. Great contrast between the mahogany and maple.

As a newbie turner I appreciate your teaching, especially giving folks heads up about different wood densities very important to understand. Thank you. David

I know this is one of your older videos but I've just recently started watching your channel. I have to say I love your videos, I especially love how you take plywood and pine 2*4's and make something so beautiful with them. I've only been turning for about 2 years now, I'm a state retiree and needed something to do other than reloading and shooting lol. You've given me ideas on how to use scrap pieces and turn nice creations so thank you for that sir. Now having said all of that I'll say this lol. This is absolutely an amazing bowl!! I've already started pulling out pieces of pine dowel and found a beautiful piece of black oak for the bowl itself. I hope you don't mind my stealing your idea lol. God Bless Stay Well and Turn Often

Beautiful bowl. Especially the rich color of the Mahogany.

When you glue a dowel into a bore hole like that, it is a good idea to spread glue on the whole dowel, like you did, but also add a bead of glue to the inside of the top of the hole. When you insert the dowel, it will drag that bead of glue through the hole, coating the sides of the hole as it goes. If you apply it only to the dowel, the top edge of the hole will scrape the glue off the dowel as it goes into the hole and you will have a starved glue joint.

I like the way the shape of the bowl turns a round dowel into an egg shape.

Ya dude ao cool, going to make some nice Christmas gifts. Also LOL more glue!

Beautiful work!

Well done,nice recovery!

Looks great 👍 great idea 👍

Thanks for sharing, an interesting Piece. Glad the glue held. Full View and Like. I’m a new turner so I’m enjoying your videos

Beautiful work, mate! I did something similar a while back but I used epoxy resin to fill the holes. It worked but it didn’t work as well as your bowl did.

Nice work! I like this technique. Novice turner and new subscriber here. Keep up the good work!

Nice bowl good idea

Very Impressive. Can't believe you only started under a year ago. I'm also fairly new to woodturning but no way up to your expertise, I must try harder. Love the bowls that you make and will copy some of your ideas. Have you thought about extending your range outside of bowls?

I made bowl with dowels and I had a similar experience and conclusion. It was cool to try and came out ok but I probably won't do it again.

When I saw the beginning of this, I wanted to rush out to my workshop and do the same thing. But I watched to the end and saw the problems you had. I wonder: would the dowel have held better with a harder wood than mahogany? I also noticed some tear out on the mahogany. Would harder wood, e.g., walnut, have solved that? Thanks for all your videos!

Great bowl and a good idea :) Does it not give problems that it is end grains and side grains? I think when the wood dries it could cause problems?

You need a good quality heavy bowl scraper it makes a big difference to finish before sanding

When putting the dowels in as tight as you did, as you hammer them down you essentially pushed the glue up and out. Next time, try putting glue on the inside and give it a minute to absorb into the interior wood before you insert the dowels. Should glue up much better for you

Verry pretty

Sem palavras ; de mais.

Nice wood and nice bowl. But the nice wood deserved to have all the toolmarks removed. That would had made a even nicer bowl

Hallo

Va.

I've seen worse....
