Beautiful cedar bowl. I've watched a lot of your videos and they all have very educational. I'm a new Turner at the age of 73 and you are amazing. I only wish that I had started earlier in life but I traveled around the country for 50 yrs plus or minus. Playing cath up.

[@dukaheritage9445]

Never too late to do something you love! And you'll be able to take I aspiration from your travels and use it in your creations! Thanks for being a part of our familys adventure :)

[@theuncannie1647]

*IDEA for your cedar shavings!* Get (or make) some little _Cotton bags,_ put your shavings in them with tie string closures. They make good sachets for warding off critters ( moths, mice) in your closets and dresser drawers. Package them up and sell them on your site. I'd buy some from you! I've been watching since you started, ❤❤❤❤❤ your work!

[@leighw9684]

Been following you for a while but just saw this video. First...stunning bowl! After watching your complex pieces like the pump, it's equally nice to watch you turn a simple bowl from naturally beautiful wood. Second...your filming and editing skills are light years better now! Third...love the energy and contagious enthusiasm you bring to every video; you've really ramped it up. In short, you were great when you started and now you are amazing! Thanks for sharing you with us.

I made a bowl out of cedar once, about 35 years ago while in junior school. I had actually planned to log into KZbin today and see if anyone else had done it and, low-and-behold, the Google Spies have beat me to it and offered me some cedar turning from one of my favourite woodturners. I haven't turned anything in nearly 30 years, and back then it was metal (hash pipes in highschool); but years later, older, and wiser I find it so satisfying just to watch. Thanks for sharing Todd.

Nice to see someone using oil finishes! Tung oil is some pretty nice stuff. I'm really fond of boiled linseed oil. You can get pretty darn close to a 3D effect, with enough coats and proper sanding in between. Once again, my friend, you do some really outstanding work. Please keep them coming. Be safe, and look after yourselves in these trying times we are all facing.

[@lesleyyoung5730]

Just a tip, not that you need one, you do very fine work. Keep a piece of offcut wood back from what you are turning, and practice burning in your mark in that, since some burn easier than others it will give you a good indication how long you need to burn for. Keep up the good work!

[@malcolmmacpherson1307]

Great finish - any problems with epoxy cracking or crazing if the bowl changes shape? Or does the finish hold the moisture content stable?

[@dukaheritage9445]

I did initially have a few problems early on in playing around with this method. If I'm ever in doubt of a piece continuing to move I generally put it under vacuum at around 95degrees for around 3 days while its still a blank. Better safe than sorry :)

[@jasonalbertson2126]

I'm curious about how dry that piece of red cedar was when you started turning it. I have much cedar, some down, some standing. Mostly incense cedar. Any idea how that turns?
