Woodturning: The Cracken!!

[@patriciaglove8201]

This is stunning. How beautiful ,I can't imagine the pleasure of creating a piece of art like this,and to think in the very old day they made wooden bowls by hand. The old bread bowls,and here you are creating new history to pass on.I am honored to be able to watch a true artist on video.Thank you .

[@DavidAdamsen]

Thank you, Patricia!

[@susanelizabeth2222]

I have an oak nut bowl that belonged to my grandparents, probably from the 1930's. My grandparents kept it full of unshelled nuts along with a nut cracker. Thank you for showing me how it would have been created, although I imagine the technology is much different today. 🧡

[@RoadToTheCup]

The splits add a bit of character, job well done!

[@yourmainmans6125]

Love these videos they’re calming and the work is beautiful

[@lauraferriss1600]

This has got to be the biggest most beautiful peice of art I've ever seen turning a piece that big is dangerous and you made something like that without hesitation well done its amazing

[@peterherrington3300]

[@ralphgraler4223]

OMG! This giant bowl is a league of it's own!!! Amazing!!! Decades of decades were gone in time... to grow in this dimension!!! If this bowl could talk about past times... Congrats 🎩👍👍🇩🇪🔨 a masterpiece!!!

[@mrsfrog2720]

I'm middle-aged but one day I will have a garage where I can make real good quality furniture. I love your video. Incredible!

[@christinarobinson1163]

Once again you have created a masterpiece. I am so lucky to view your videos. I thoroughly enjoy watching these. It does interrupt my housework though.

[@tipsyturner434]

Beautiful piece sir! And congratulations on your wedding!

[@katelinnett9020]

I have an antique wooden bowl from my great-grandmother that measures about 24" across. She would make her bread dough in it. At one point it developed a pretty significant crack, so my grandfather filled it with some kind of resin and put in a few brass staples to stabilize the crack. It looks pretty bad-ass! 😎 It's been retired from bread-making...I have it on my coffee table now, filled with glass fishnet floats.

[@Amybaumgart]

Your videos are always such a pleasure to watch. You demonstrate such artistry as well as impeachable tool presentation and use! But it doesn’t stop there! Your videographer is also and amazing artist!! Thanks you!

[@DavidAdamsen]

Thank you very much, Amy!

[@daniadejonghe4980]

never the same, never predictable, always beautiful.

[@lonniehinton822]

I knew you were going to do something absolutely marvelous with that piece of wood and that wasn't genius I mean absolutely ingenious

[@jodidavis6595]

I can’t believe some of the stuff I see/subscribe to on KZbin. This is so professional and beautifully. The music. The camera and editing wrk. And the wood turning it self. Thank you for the time and effort David. It’s well worth the wait. 🇺🇸👍🏼❤️

[@DavidAdamsen]

Thanks so much, Jodi!

[@marklengal9990]

Great to see you again.

A work of art. The natural edge is just gorgeous. I love it!

That is a BODACIOUS ice cream bowl! I love the grain of the wood.

I'm amazed it turned out so beautiful. I didn't think it was going to stay together. Love the grain in it. Beautiful piece as always David.

[@jasonjohnson3605]

Really nice work again my friend!

[@boziewz6125]

That is absolutely stunning and a true master of the lathe. I would have put some bowties in the crack myself, but only through fear of it coming apart. Well done for seeing it through.

[@kirkorapel215]

Beautiful work. I just re-started wood turning after being introduced to it in high school. The crack hopefully does not spread and the wedding centerpiece idea is amazing.

[@MichaelBechlivanis]

Great bowl!!! Well done!!! I think that those big cracks opened more while you were turning it!!!🙂 Nicely done!!!!

Its refreshing to see a crack not filled in with epoxy and turquoise

[@clarencecaudill2616]

That was good

[@designabeej]

Beautiful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@neilchisholm8376]

Beautiful bowl. Just a thought, have you ever considered mixing the shavings, particularly the longer shavings rather than the dust, from your woodturning in with some epoxy resin and turn the resulting block. I think you could get a most interesting work of art

[@DavidAdamsen]

Thanks Neil! Yes, I've actually seen this idea put to the test before and with some interesting results. Might be worth a try at some point. We'll see!

[@neilchisholm8376]

Awesome. I’m slowly watching all your older vids and watch with interest your new ones as they come out. You are truly an artist! Do you call it your workshop or studio, for I’d call it your studio as that’s where your pieces of fabulous art are made.

Wicked turn , bro! She cracked, but what an outcome! Them fancies down on the island would pay an arm and a leg. Im still lookin for a chunk of wood I found out back the barn.

Spectacular!!! We respect your resolve to NOT fill the cracks with resin (or anything).

[@JoseRoberto-gv2wr]

Perfeito !!! Obra de arte !!! Parabéns !!!

[@sandrader2889]

Extra special those cracks, that's nature! Another beautiful piece of art!

[@sangyenamdrol9392]

A crack like that easily could be filled with wood in the most creative of ways, that broken bowl is going to break some bodies wallet and heart😉

[@DavidAdamsen]

You are correct that a wood filler would an elegant solution, but this piece won’t break anyone’s wallet. It’s already spoken for.

[@Seelenschmiede]

I wished for the big cracks to be filled with clear epoxy, but this is taste. Overall, very nice piece!

Absolutely gorgeous, as are all of your turnings! Ash is so beautiful!

Beautiful, David. I can see, though, why it was so stressful turning it. Take care. Bill

[@snevel]

One of my favorite parts is watching you sharpen the gouge (chisel?) at the beginning.

[@jarmstrong2843]

Hey David, I guess this bowl turned out what it was “cracked” up to be. I think this was one of your largest turnings, if not the largest. While watching the video I kept thinking there was going to be a chunk of wood flying off into space. I’m glad it did not happen. In the end, the cracks added character to the turning. Good one!!!👍👍👍👍👍

[@DavidAdamsen]

Thanks so much, John. Yeah, that was a constant worry! I think the piece is still almost 20 lbs. It was probably around 50 lbs or more when it started.😬

[@Umberto.Goglia]

Appreciate you didn't fill with resin leaving wood natural....very good job! Cheers from Italy!
