bowl turning thread

[mickdundee]

Ah yeah. That's what I'm doing. Maybe I needed to keep going to get the tears out. I watched a good video by FineWoodworking channel on YouTube that shows the different ways chisels are used and how catches happen if you get your angles wrong

[mickdundee]

Hopefully I'll get a chance when I've got time off work in summer cheers Steve. This is vid I meant

your doing well matty!

 

nice bit of ash that, the bowl gouge takes a bit of practice, avoid the tip and back of the wings and you should be o.k, thats where the catches happen, i just bought a 3/4 inch gouge which has enab.ed me to get better with them. I have gotten so used to scrapers they are my main tool and im getting pretty efficient with just a scraper now. Lots of sharpening keeps it cutting clean as a whistle. I use the sorby pro edge sharpening wise, its pucka but expensive initialy, once you have it all its cheap on belts

Got one done today in between knifemaking and dodging the rain.

Had a couple of pieces entered in the craft section of the horticultural tent at a local flower show today, not a bad result,

A few bits of Ash .. 1st is a 17" dia platter from a crotch showing the lovely " flame " effect in the grain .... 2nd is an odd lump ( about 10" dia ) turned to a smooth bowl on the inside but bark left in tact outside ....

How did you hollow the bowl out and keep the bark on.

How did you hollow the bowl out and keep the bark on.

Good question !.... there is not any sign of how I held the bowl in the lathe to hollow it either , no tenon for a dovetail chuck, or screw holes for a faceplate either ..... if you cut a piece of wood straight after felling a live tree and never let it get wet again the bark will stay strongly attached ....
