This Took 55 Hours to Make - Alaskan Woodturning

[@KrisDeVo]

I am curious if you prefer the vlog style in this video, showcasing Alaska, or the less talking, more building/ASMR type seen in the last video? Which bowl do you prefer, #1 or #2? I appreciate you!

[@RyJones]

Whatever you want to do!

[@TheKindredMan]

I enjoy both. Great work!

[@nenaelliott8058]

I like when the host talks through the video... As long as you're comfortable with it.

[@belowaveragegamer8270]

Man I'll watch whatever you produce. You're a freakin master at workworking though. And I have to ask how much time do you have in making one of those bowls?

[@KrisDeVo]

Appreciate that! About 55hrs per bowl.

[@ditryn]

To all the subscribers, I also live in Eagle River and have bought several items from Kris. I have been to his shop and his home. Kris is a 100% genuine guy, his product is second to none.

[@KrisDeVo]

Wish I had another 100 customers like you, really appreciate the kind words and support! Thank you @ditryn!

[@stephanie09.11]

I am in awe of every single piece that you make/share. I can’t pick one over the other, they are both amazingly beautiful.

[@KrisDeVo]

Much appreciated @stephanie09.11! Glad the sweat shirt fit perfect!

[@bstewartexecutivecarcare3797]

The first one was beautiful! The second one is stunning‼️ They are museum quality works of art 👍✌️☮️

[@KrisDeVo]

Much appreciated @bstewartexecutivecarcare3797!

[@nenaelliott8058]

Kris, I thought the first bowl was beautiful but geeze Louise this bowl is far superior to that. When I saw the finished bowl my jaw hit the floor. So much color and design. It's honestly just amazing. ❤👍♥️♥️💯

[@KrisDeVo]

Much appreciated @nenaelliott8058!

[@joecommesso2592]

i stumbled upon your cutting board video from years ago. then just watched this one, its awesome to see the tiny shop that you came from into the shop your in now, keep killing it bro

[@Al.W7263]

Your bowls are absolutely stunning. Thank you for the video.

[@KrisDeVo]

Glad you like them, cheers.

[@dennishinkle5010]

When it comes to wood Kris there's no doubt in your abilities and you show it again and again. Thank you for sharing.👍

[@johanstrieter-bh2wq]

Beautiful work I love the way the bowl turned out, all the different layers make up more appealing

[@KrisDeVo]

Thank you @johanstrieter-bh2wq!

[@thewoodshop]

Very cool design, love your process. Really liked this video, great story.

[@KrisDeVo]

Much appreciated @thewoodshop! Happy to hear you liked the story part of it as well.

[@doriWyo]

Such fun to watch you expand your skill set.

[@KrisDeVo]

Thank you @doriWyo!

[@christallant3926]

One of the most beautiful bowls I've ever had the pleasure to watch being made. Your patience is amazing. I hope you sell them faster than you can make them. We'll done!

[@blunderbuss9927]

#2 with the purple heart. The contrast is outstanding. I am partial, though, and I use purple heart in about 3/4 of all of my projects, even if just a little accent on drawer handles and on at least 1/2 of all cutting boards and coasters. And that base for the #2 bowl was pretty sweet. The trepidation of parting it off is well understood, but goes away with practice. Without a coring system (definitely need one myself), I've used that method dozens of times, and it always works well if done slowly.

[@jozefhudec4646]

These are one of the nicest bowls I've seen in my short 45 years old life. Genuinely. Amazing work! I like #2 a tiny bit more than #1. But both are great.

[@markb5441]

Beautiful work. Cute daughter, what a lucky dad.

[@gordondafoe3516]

Cute wife too!

[@fourpressmedia2674]

I love that you can visualize the end product before you even start turning. I just marvel at your artistry, creatively working the rough wood to its final product. This is amazing craftsmanship. Keep up the great work, my friend!! Thanks for the patreon plug, I will support you.

[@KrisDeVo]

Really appreciate the support over the years @fourpressmedia2674!

[@mcd3454]

10 out 10! Make more projects and show us! The people want more!😢

[@hswing11]

GREAT CRAFTSMANSHIP WELL DONE. I LIKE BOTH BOWLS

[@lisalally]

Sorry, I couldn’t choose between these pieces, they are both so beautiful. What a lovely gift to receive, something made with time and love. Your truly gifted. 🙏🏼 In awe, from Ireland.

[@KrisDeVo]

Thank you @lisalally!

[@AA-pf9dh]

Keep Up The Great Work Kris! 👍👍

[@KrisDeVo]

Thanks! Will do!

[@sharonpearce3785]

Kris those bowls are absolutely beautiful they I can’t choose a favourite as I love them both. Thanks for yet another great video. 🇬🇧 xx

[@HungTran-ov7wx]

Its beautiful. It look fragile yet sturdy at the same time

[@jeramiahcrosier3481]

Another great video and bowl, Kris! I like the talking more than the ASMR, but I think that there is room for both in the KZbin world. I really like bowl #2, but something about the accent strips in bowl #1 really does it for me.

[@beckyjohnson3153]

Stunning! Very nice details. Well done.

[@KrisDeVo]

Thank you very much!

[@TwoTowersArt]

Its cool to see your daughter get to watch her daddy in his workshop 🎉

[@philvale5724]

Hi 👋, Kris, That was definitely sketchy with that catch, Well saved, it could’ve been a bit painful, I think it was well worth the effort to Try and cor the bowl , especially it, just seems a shame to waste all that time and effort and material, Definitely worth the job, As for which one looks better , I think they both look amazing, they both got their own character, and depending on which way you look at them, time well spent, great looking pieces of art, stay safe, keep up the amazing work. Look forward to seeing your next project., And I forgot to mention, the wildlife looks great as well , I quite often see red squirrels, wild boar,🐗 deer 🦌, and occasional pine, Martin, And the temperature here is around about 15° , I’ve never known it to be so warm here in the winter, did have a few days of frost, but not a lot, Phil from the moulin France

[@KrisDeVo]

Glad you like both bowls! Yeah the catch really could have been bad. That is great you get a nice amount of wildlife. Thanks Phil!

[@petemack3076]

I remember going to the Alaska State Fair maybe 15-20 years ago. The quilts were amazing. The woodworking.... wasn't as good as this. It wasn't at all what I'd expect from a major fair in the lower 48. This is more like it! Good job.

[@BlueSpark-vy3fd]

Amazing, beautiful work!👍

[@john12abey]

I don't have correct words for this, Stunning,, beautiful!, Fantastic! Thanks John

[@reamdelrey]

Bless your work and your beautiful family ❤

[@beachcomer007]

fantastic effort!

[@KrisDeVo]

Many thanks!

[@jacobdean1454]

Wow, beautiful up there

[@KrisDeVo]

Sure is!

[@Blayda1]

As a wood turner myself ,, that is gorgeous

[@Blayda1]

I wear the same mask as you too ,, and every now and then a piece does try to make a break for freedom which really hurts when they hit you. So I can understand your friend turning in full gear. Thing I wear more than anything is a air flow mask because the dust is going to get you if your not careful.

[@johnvatistas6569]

Wow, Wasn't expecting that. Beautiful.

[@joshisil1226]

Beautiful.......Congratulations

[@KrisDeVo]

Thank you so much

Really wish we'd stopped by the shop on our last visit to Eagle River. Would've been cool to see the place and pick up a board. Can't wait to get out there as a resident in 2025.

Kris, love your videos we used to live in Chugiak and attended church in Eagle River and it’s so cool to get to see it again. Love your work! We own a sawmill down here in SW Georgia and it really helps me be a better sawyer seeing how you use materials. Keep the content coming!

[@northernhumidor5615]

Great video. I turn bowls on the regular , if you open up the flute of you’re gouge , it will make a much nicer cut and not bounce so much on you outside cuts.

[@KrisDeVo]

Appreciate the advice. I have tried but am still so new to this. I get scared of the catch when its open

[@davids8493]

Another mind blowing piece 🤯. They look like they take longer than 55 hours to create! Kudos to you. You are a braver man than I to do that kind of turning. Even your sawdust looks great. Could you come up with some kind of project that you could make out of your colorful shavings? I bet it would look fantastic. Thanks.

[@KrisDeVo]

Much appreciated @davids8493! Maybe sometime I will try something with the shavings

[@davids8493]

@@KrisDeVo hi Kris, I say that partially in jest because who would try to make something out of wood shavings/sawdust. With your incredible talents and ingenuity, I think that you could pull it off. Huge respect for your unmeasurable talents!

I wonder if it would help seeing what you are cutting if you used a variable speed strobe light. The object would seem to stand still.

[@KrisDeVo]

Might have to try!

[@josiahhalverson]

I don't know. Not sure you'd want to view only one viewpoint. Seems the ability to view the whole thing as a blur while feeling where your blade hits helps you to know the high spots. Imagine the strobe showing only the low spot. Your blade would hit much sooner than anticipated. Maybe that's ok. Idk. Someone should try it! There's got to be some helpful application for it.
