This video shows how I turn a natural edge bowl in under an hour - starting with the log! I think this a great example of how fun and rewarding woodturning can be. It's a wonderful feeling to be able to start with something that would have been someone's garbage and create something by the end of the day - or an hour!! I hope y'all enjoy!
Also, Happy 4th of July weekend!!

Thank you for letting everyone see you putting on chaps. I've worked in EMS for over 40 years, and have seen some horrifying injuries from not wearing this simple safety item. ❤️

[@charlesmorgan9720]

True that

[@zennbeejones9526]

Hello. There are plenty of videos of turning wood on youtube, but it is your high degree of dedication to your art that sets you apart beautiful work.

[@jaydee5447]

Beautiful piece! I love the natural edge. The natural edge is a great balance between art and nature. The grain pattern on this bowl is gorgeous. Great job.

I found fascinating, how so many master turner's have different methods of doing turning. Kent from Turn a bowl recently also done mulberry natural edge bowl and both have used surprisingly different amount of techniques. Wonderful work Ashley!

[@brunomckay1875]

Good to see you smiling again, welcome back we have missed you.

[@Perception_]

I love to watch the point of engagement, and I just wish there was smell-o-vision as well. This process is just beautiful.

[@Thorserb2]

You have such mesmerizing videos. I love watching the creation of these beautiful and practical works of art. Please keep them coming. You have no clue how many people you are inspiring. Thank you

[@skf0421]

Thanks for making my day. Every time I see one of your videos it takes me back to when I was in one of your classes a few years back. I can see your shop clearly in my minds eye. Thanks for all that you do for the woodturning world.

[@tmber01]

We need more vids like this one. As always, beautiful design and work.

[@Ashpari]

You are brilliant!!! I don't think I could afford wood turn as a hobby but do enjoy watching your videos. Start to finish I enjoy every little bit of the skills you show case, they inspire me to do and continue my hobby fun. Thank you!!!! Much love from Metro Detroit

[@AshleyHarwood]

Wow, thank you!!!

[@todddembsky8321]

Holy Sunny Smile Batman, Yes Robin she does make the day a better place to be. Ashley, just watching you in the opening where you were prepping the log, I was smiling with you all the way. When you are doing something you love, the whole world can see it in your smile end eyes. You are blessed with an amazing gift, thank you for sharing it with us Muggles. Have a wonderful 4th of July

[@tylerposton6925]

Would be great to see some of your favorite ways to finish these natural edge bowls.

[@TheTrock121]

Amazing the way you worked w/ the wood as it released tension and the sides became more oval. That was an act of love. I hand forge decorative aluminum pieces and experience the increase in tension as the piece becomes work hardened.

[@georgecuyler7563]

The grain of the wood is beautiful and I love the bowl.

[@dottyharbison7156]

Ashley, what a beautiful live edge bowl. The colors in the bowl are gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing your work. ❤🙃

[@cajunfid]

Beautiful work, Ashley. There's a tune in Cajun music called la branche de murier which translates to the branch of the mulberry tree. It's sung from a guys perspective about his sweetheart that he lost, probably of his own doing, and how he cuts the mulberry branch down so he can watch her go by every day from his window and how much he misses her and wishes she'd come back to him.

[@scottfarnham2717]

Very nice bowl! Beautiful wood! Thanks for sharing.

[@jonperley7304]

AWESOME love the spalting on the edge of it! Happy wood turnings to you from Ducklake Maine!!!👍

[@doomed1673]

Just got two white mulberry logs so this video was very helpful , great work . Thanks

[@infinytower3317]

Very clear explanation and demonstration! Just started turning... Subscribed!

[@alphatonic1481]

This is like ASMR but for the eyes. I love watching wood being turned into shape.

[@JamesCouch777]

It always amazes me how experienced turners make everything look so easy. Where are the videos when they were learning? Nice job on the piece 👌

[@cabman86]

Beauty and talent all rolled into one. Amazing work!

[@bradbyers7505]

I love the blended foot. So classy.

[@georgecuyler7563]

Beautiful piece

[@boooshes]

Nice to see you back at it.

[@mikebaker2591]

I know you must be very well practiced in sharpening a chain saw, but I want to give kudos to you. I've never scene shavings come out like that. Thanks also for being a great teacher. Enjoyed the video!

[@robertwoodward1682]

Nice work. Great piece. Would like to have known more about the wood’s condition, green, semi-wet, dried. How you age it to keep it from checking. Also, how you finish them, oil, shellac, wax, urethane. Maybe you do it in other videos. I’m new to your channel.

[@draven3838]

I mark the wood I use for making longbows as well, great tip for everyone

[@craigb2366]

Love it! Watching & following your videos from Wilmington NC

[@lunkydog]

Your voice is about a million times more soothing than any of that ASMR nonsense. Always doing amazing work👏👏 Such a shame that Mulberry and particularly Osage won't retain the yellow color.

[@mauriciopineda7565]

Good job girl !!!. The lathe is strong !!

[@jackthompson8019]

Beautiful turning Ashley.

[@jefffoggymountainworkshop5021]

Great to see you back turning a tradition bowl Ashley! Happy 4th!

[@ramadimajor1299]

Lovely and very nice work. I'm curious of your music choice? Seems to be generating happy smiles ;)

[@gavincoyle]

Ashley it was a pleasure to watch you turn, this bowl is beautiful and I have just smashed that subscribe button 👍👍👍

[@ndothan]

So, I just realized that Ashley's jam chuck looks better than my finished bowls lol

[@tonyburelle6633]

Incredible as always, always fascinating watching you work turning nothing into a beautiful something, thanks for sharing

[@tomswisher8662]

Glad to you posting again. Good job.

[@markfishburn8284]

I have always wanted to do a bowl like that, just haven't yet. Thank you for sharing your video.

[@dansmith8550]

Excuse me but that’s so damn impressive how thin you get it down to. Always a pleasure to watch you work.

[@vinceagnes]

I am really impressed. You are a master turner!

[@robertjmckenzie2358]

Truly a hearty soul, nice work.

[@dalepage5511]

Very nice the way the spalted sapwood made a rim for the bowl. You did not mention how you finished it. Keep up the great videos.

[@kennethdean7959]

Ashley, I was curious if you have an idea explaining the different mask/headgear you use.

[@doolinmoranphotography4461]

Yessss

That's another beauty Ashley. ❤️

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Very nice 👍

[@gotoforwoodworkers672]

Very nice job, I really like it!

[@thomasgrimes339]

Beautiful work.

[@jameswallace7351]

That's beautiful I love the live edge my favorite way of seeing you guys turn a bowl how do you dry your bowls after you turn them. James

[@jackknows6509]

Another well executed project. Do you have any video reviews on the lathe you are using?

[@ellyspicer3200]

can you talk about the speeds you use and why at different points of creation?

[@mmgross144]

Simply elegant!

[@loucinci3922]

Looking good. Keep up the awesome channel. Thanks for sharing.

[@AshleyHarwood]

Thanks, I plan to!

[@PBUCKY1969]

Beautiful work Ashley - really fine!

[@johnmitchell1614]

It's gotta be sharp, and it's gotta be tensioned properly. Tension your chainsaw chain. Ashley, Best regards.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Beautiful bowl!

[@stever746]

awesome bowl

[@SilverBack.]

wonderful piece 👏👏👏

[@dddube12]

Ashley that’s Awesome!!!

[@ibrahimibrahim-px6yv]

Beautiful Art 🎨

[@keithedwards1038]

Very nice work. Question for you if I may, where did you get the air fed mask?

[@josephrougeau4107]

Thanks, very inspiring. Makes me want to get going and turn stuff. What brand of the self contained breathing unit is being used in this video.

[@DiemenDesign]

Very nice Ashley, always enjoy watching you turn, and picking up your technique. 3:03, never an elegant way of mounting between centre's, I think every turner has difficulty with that at some point.

[@John-ye4nv]

Just found your channel - I am really enjoying your videos. I notice you turned this from a more or less wet log. Now that you have completed the bowl, how do you keep it from cracking as it dries. Thanks

[@domingospedrobraga265]

Parabéns linda peça bom trabalho nota dez excelente,vc e uma artista 👏👏❤🙏

[@steveberberich3611]

Curious what happened to the other half of log section. I would have split 90° to your cut to capture crotch grain

[@davidwoolley1530]

Nice piece

[@johngrace199]

Very nice piece...
