3 Years in the Making - Alaskan Woodturning

This is something I have wanted to make for about 3-4 years.
Tri Corner - Trifecta bowl!
Making my own exotic plywood from scratch and fading them into a design was a lot of work but very enjoyable. Woodturning had been a hobby but something I would like to do more of.
I am into each bowl for about 50+ hours of labor and $400 in materials.
The other bowl blank in the video, #2 is now up.

This is the type of art that makes you watch and appreciate the process to the last bit. Well done sir, absolutely beautiful!

[@WarrenGatcomb]

Your shop and woodworking tools are unreal and I loved this bowl , Your skill set is top notch , really enjoyed this video

[@Tyshark]

You are a Master! One of the most beautiful wood turned bowls I have ever seen. Your process in putting the wood together is amazing. Your patience is remarkable!

[@andrewh3730]

Wow! So beautifully made! Not just the different woods put together for such beautiful colors but the knowledge and skill you have as a wood artist. I love the colors and I didn’t know you could do this with wood. Making a blank with so many different kinds that product these beautiful colors. I’m amazed and fascinated with the process you do here. Thank you for sharing !

[@chrissiwierka6903]

Your glue up was fantastic. You took the time to line everything up, and that's why it came out so well (this is a jab at all the other wood tueners that don't take the time to do this). You did a really good job, you should be proud. Also, I love how you went back and fixed that blowout on the corner. Wonderful attention to detail.

[@KennethDrovdal]

The BEST I have seen. Bravo! Such dedication to your goals on this piece. It must be the Alaska solace.

[@blunderbuss9927]

Absolutely beautiful! And what an amazing level of mental stamina and patience in building the plywood from scratch. Yet a new challenge to tackle.

[@Tyrone-Fields]

That is amazing! I was thinking the whole time, that this is well edited, you didnt linger on things too long and sped things up when it should be (imo) but also captured just how much time it took. Having that thing whirling around was scary to watch, that is so much kinetic energy! I cannot afford such things, so I cannot thank you in money, but I do appreciate you sharing this with me(us). So awesome to witness.

Our son lives in Eagle River and I would very much like to visit your shop when we visit. Your shop is incredible and I’m sure everyone that watches your videos is jealous.

@KrisDeVo this is the update i was looking for! good work man, good man

[@padders1068]

Kris, for someone who claims to be "not a professional wood turner", that bowl is a work of Freaking Art! You must have nerves of tungsten to turn that bowl! Kudos to you Sir as well for always wearing proper safety gear for everything, that sets a very good example to any viewers and obviously ensures your own safety. The best way I have heard it described is "you only have 1 pair of eyes, lungs and ears and you need all 3 pairs, so you need to protect them". Thanks for sharing! 🙂😎😎😎😎❤

[@timwilde4200]

Absolutely agree. Sadly, though many do go to the trouble of protecting their eyes, when it comes to their hearing it's another matter. I cringe at the manner in which I see people go about work that will slowly chip away at their hearing but pay it no mind, simply because it's not something that hits them significantly or overnight. Ten or fifteen years later they're struggling to pick up conversations in busy restaurants, losing the dialogue against the background noise, and wondering why. I say all that as someone who has lost a significant amount of my hearing, though that was from many years of working at the industrial level in the mining industry, and despite the fact I used to take all the necessary measures to protect my hearing.

[@mrbear4495]

Absolutely mind blowing, Kris. Stunning work 😃

[@TimberRough]

Very interesting and absolutely beautiful work. Beauty of the wood is gracefully emphasized by the shape of the product!
