Live Edge Hawthorn Bowl - Wood Turning

[@donscottvansandt4139]

Thanks Phil. For not only your great work but reminding me of some great memories with my grandparents ❤

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@donscottvansandt4139]

The Hawthorne tree is what makes what the Ole timers use to call pawpaw berries! And if you've never tasted one your really missing something! They're delicious! My grandparents used to harvest them with cane poles and make jelly 😂 one of my fond childhood memories

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool memories! 😊

[@pippin1ful]

Another beautiful piece, Phil. I like that big ol' scraper you use. It always puts a good finish on your turning.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Richard! 😃 A lot of the time it does but, it really depends on the wood. Sometimes it results in tear-out.

[@SusanneMilewski-b3q]

Well I love this video! It was like Groundhog Day. I’m watching today as I recover from covid so the chuckle was so welcome. I really like the pureness of this wood. The color contrast between the wood and the bark is so pretty. Great job Phil it’s a favorite of mine.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm so glad you like it, Susanne and I'm glad you are recovering from covid. 😊 No fun!

[@Little_Red_Riding_Hoodlum]

😂 I'm tempted to rewatch this and count the "craps"! 😂

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

LOL! Thanks, Kerri! Phil

[@jeffstevens763]

What I’ve learned from this is leave the cracks alone they have a right to be there good job Phil 👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

That's the lesson and you were paying attention, Jeff! 😊

[@GeraldJensen]

Phil ... I haven't read all 90+ comments, so someone else may have already suggested this. Before you fill cracks with CA, apply a thin coat of shellac on the workpiece, being careful not to flood the crack. When the shellac is dry, break out the CA. When the CA is dry, break out the sheer scraper or sandpaper. The idea is that the shellac seals the wood enough to keep the CA from blooming out into the surrounding grain.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

That's good advice, Gerald. Truth be told, I really don't like to fill cracks. If nature put it there it's good enough for me. Just thought I would try this since it was brown but no luck. Phil

[@perry-ad]

Gorgeous bowl and the shape of the live edge is just perfect. I really enjoyed the repeated expression of disappointment in the glue. When you said "Crap!" for the 4th or 5th time I laughed out loud. As always, thank you for another enlightening video.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Perry! LOL! Well, I guess I was frustrated! Phil

[@stephanielovatt2787]

That hawthorn wood was so white! I hadn't seen it before, either. We have them growing along the roads, but I had no idea the wood was so clean and clear. Nice one!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

We keep on learning, Stephanie. I've got so much more to know!

[@nancyrobinson6242]

The contrast of light and dark is very attratractive in this bowl. Good job.

[@williamellis8993]

Another nice one, Phil. I also like the color that the Howards gave the wood against the color of the bark. I cut down a hawthorn tree many years ago because one of the thorns actually punctured my tractor tire. The trunk was only about 6" dia. I didn't know what I had at the time.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, William! I need to look up a picture of a Hawthorn tree. Not sure I've ever seen one but with thorns like that, they sound nasty! Phil

[@lyndaowen2154]

They did turn out very pretty. That white wood in the dark bark looks great.

And I thought I turned at a high rate of speed. Way Beyond what Nova or one way recommends LOL I view it as personal responsibility and have never heard of the chuck body failing. You took speed to the next level on this one:-). Beautiful beautiful Bowl.

I love turning faster than I usually can when the opportunity presents itself. So much easier and smoother! Thanks, John! 😊

[@richardparker1699]

Yes I liked the video. The wood defies the norn. Where is the grain. Boom, no grain. Oh well, it's still a nice looking bowl. Was fun watching your turn and looking for the grain. Still a nice turn.

[@patriciapolmanteer3586]

Just a random thought... I like when you put at least the year that you turn your "gifts". It lets us all see how your ability improves and grows thru the years. Probably just my thinking but.. That's just me. Stay safe and carry on.. Patty & Ron

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I always dated my turnings. Then I read a comment that said when selling (I haven't) people will see an old date and assume something is wrong with the piece and won't buy. If I ever do get to sell some of my work, this made sense to me but, yes, I prefer them to be dated.

[@anchorburg8196]

Turned out really nice. I like the contrast with the bark also. Others have mention protecting the surrounding area, I dip a finger tip in shellac and apply it around the crack to be filled. Dries in just a couple of minutes. Also, CA glue is anaerobic meaning it cures from lack of air. If left open it takes a long long time for it to finally film over and cure. You many want to test the spray on several types of wood as I have never had it change the color of the wood.

Hi Phil, Hawthorne is a beautiful wood. Don't have a lot of it but recently I made a handle for an awl out of a piece that came from our garden. Almost Ivory white! It is a slow growing wood which is why it has so little figure. The bad thing is the trees take a long time to become big enough to make something out of them. Thnx for the video.

I enjoyed watching you do the blending of the exotic woods using the bandsaw I watched some guy do a similar thing last year and it just looks awesome, really not hard to do with a bandsaw good to know that it's food safe. I would really like to try out the wood wax pastes. Keep up the good work 👍HI Phil I wanted to add to this comment that you replied to. I was watching one of your videos and I was also watching another video of Kim Tippin after watching your video on the olive wood that you turned. Anyway I was also making a comment on her video and accidentally sent the comment to her video to you. It must have been confusing to you (my comment about exotic woods) I guess it was one of those senior moments people talk about. I 'm sorry about this comment being so long but I just had to let you know.. I really enjoy watching your videos Thank you for being a good person.

Great shape Phil nice looking piece . Here in the UK Hawthorn is a hedging bush type of tree and the trunks never grow as large as the one you just turned

[@STMwoodturning]

The first house we owned had a Hawthorne tree. It was about 2.5 feet acros the base of the trunk.

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

I'm kicking myself for not having a picture of the large pile of logs I found **in the street** not very far from home. That was in '15. I had to leave 9/10s of them and took only the few that were small enough for my wife and me to lift into the pickup. The trees grew down near the Columbia River on an abandoned property which was being cleared for development. The log this chunk came from was oval in cross section, 5 feet long, 28 inches across the long oval and was cut from one end of that oval, just at the pith line. I have more!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Only you, Dave, would have a pile of logs in the street right in front of him! LOL! You come up with a crazy amount of wood in such varieties! This must have been HEAVY! Phil

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

Sweet! Mrs DAsh says: "Beautiful! That turned out gorgeous!" So, two thumbs up! My apologies about the cracks; that's one of the drawbacks to this otherwise wonderful wood. It grows in lobes for some reason, and does tend to deep cracks which do not show up in the raw chunk. But so what? Some character just adds to the beautiful wild live edge. Well turned! Oh . . . addendum: did the ironwood show up?

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you to the DAsh family! Oh, jeez, I didn't let you know, YES, the ironwood did show up! Now that I see it, I'm REALLY intimidated. It looks and feels more like petrified wood. Are you sure it can be turned? LOL! Phil

Hey Phil, I did a piece of Hawthorne before and it was a magnificent piece of wood. It was a cracky kind like yours but the colors were beautiful. Try a little shellac around the crack area to eliminate the staining. Also push some coffee grounds into the crack before adding the glue, it's brown so it will look cool when done. Happy turning!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Grampa, for watching and the tips! Phil

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Starbond brown is my favorite glue now. When you use it, wipe the surface clean when you apply it. Since it is colored, the staining will be more evident on light colored wood. To reduce staining, either blue tape on either side, or edge with shellac. Try it again on darker wood. And the “Feed and Wax” finish is not “cheap”, but “inexpensive”😈. Looking good, as usual!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I wish it would have worked out for me, Valerie, but it didn't fill the crack and it wasn't brown. A complete waste of my time. Point taken about the Feed & Wax! Phil

[@valeriehenschel1590]

madronawoodworks Give it another try on a more appropriate piece of wood. You would have had the same problem with reg. C.A. except for the dye difference. For this piece, thick would probably filled the cracks better, given how deep they were.

[@DancingFox6]

I use shellac to keep ca glue from staining the wood when filling cracks or doing inlay. It works pretty well.

[@davidcorden6630]

Hi Phil, another lovely form, nice one - and just the 6 ‘craps’! Lol. I managed to send a piece of cherry flying off the lathe today, just after I’d finished sanding the outside - it was a lot worse than ‘crap’ I can tell you. ;) btw, I bought myself a sandoflex and it rocks, thanks for the tip!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Al! I used to write the date and prefer it that way. Then I read something from a guy that sells his work. He says when a piece is dated and it's an old date, people won't buy because they assume something is wrong with the piece. Made sense to me. I haven't tried to sell any of my work but if I do, I won't have that problem. Besides, people can just watch my videos to see when a piece was made. 😃

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I have had no luck in using CA, thick, thin, or in-between when trying to fill deep cracks such as these. I had a walnut bowl that drank as much as I could feed it, and when I turned it some more, it was if I hadn't applied anything at all. No idea where it all went. Beautiful bowl - the wood brings to mind holly or sycamore, but with much nicer bark.

That is one of the nicest natural edge shapes I have seen. When I saw the blank before you put it in the lathe I just loved the outside shape of the log. And you captured all that shape in the bowl. Even with clear CA it can change the finish near the crack. I was going to say to seal that area which I have heard others talk about. But I see others already mentioned it. So I will refrain from saying it. Oh dang to late LOL. I cant really say that it works 100% because it still seems to take extra sanding. Anyway that was a great turn and turned out nice. Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Gary! I guess I have found that filling the cracks just really isn't my thing. If they are there when I start, they are going to be there when I finish, as nature intended. I will do it if needed structurally, but otherwise, I'm leaving them. Thanks for watching, buddy! Phil

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Wade! CA is an abbreviation for cyanoacrylate, commonly known as super glue. Turners usually buy it at a turner supply store in larger containers. You can get it thin, medium or thick and even some with color added to it. I hope that helps!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm glad you'll try it, Judith. A lot of folks have a fear of them. I can tell you, on some pieces, it takes all of my strength, non-slip gloves and a prayer to get piece off when using it. Most important is to have a flat surface for your chuck jaws to set against. You'll like it! Yes, I've heard about applying finish before the glue. Problem is, I don't always know what that finish is going to be until I see the fully turned and sanded piece! 😊

[@jamesjudd2338]

Awesome! Thanks for the info and all the great videos

[@donnabyers]

I have had that happen to my bowls. I guess you have to seal the wood before you use the ca glue to keep it from staining. Good luck next time!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yes, sealing first can help, Donna. I guess I just don't like filling cracks unless needed for structural integrity. Thank you! Phil

Well the final piece was anything but crap Phil. Most if not all brands of CA glue that I’ve tried/use leave a stain until I tried wiping on some Danish Oil on the surrounding wood before applying the adhesive. I found that definitely helps stop the CA from bonding to the areas that I don’t want it to. That was a nice gesture by Star bond whose products have great ratings. In the case of us wood turners we tend to use such adhesives to fill in gaps, perhaps missing the point that they are primarily meant to glue surfaces together (I add some very fine dust shavings to fill the gap/s & apply CA as a means to add strength and create a tight filled gap rather than just expect it to fill a void. Glad it turned out well in the end & was surprised to find that you are multilingual (speak “French”) as do many of us turners !! Lol 😆. Lovely piece of Hawthorn lives another day but as a very pleasing bowl that would look great in any situation. Always enjoy your projects and my best regards to you from a sunshine and showers English Spring. Your friend, Geof

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Agreed, Geof, sealing first definitely helps. I just don't like filling cracks, at all, so probably didn't put as much effort into it as I could. I've used fine dust along with the CA before, but still don't like the outcome. For me it always ends up looking like a filled crack! LOL! Yes, French is my second language! Hahaha... Thank you so much, Geof, for your great comment! Enjoy the Spring! Phil

If u hold the accelerator about 6 or 8" away and do a quick light mist it will not mess with wood

[@SamuraiSwimmer]

Typical Shady Acres beauty! Looks like you are setting new (RPM) speed records now. I am emboldened by your work to try and take my turning to the next pulley! Questions: 1. Do you use all the grits (80-320) on your Sandoflex when sanding bark, or just one grit? Or is it dependent upon the bark? 2. What angle do you sharpen your round nose scraper sides to--are they the same on both sides? Do you use a sharpening jig like the Wolverine? Thanks in advance, I always enjoy your replies and advice.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Louis! I guess I do seem to be turning at higher speeds, lately. I guess my recent pieces have been more in balance, not sure why. I do like it because it takes less effort to get the chisel through the wood. When sanding bark I almost always use just one grit, 180. Sometimes if the bark is really coarse, I might use 120 and then 180 but I don't go any finer. HA! The angle of my negative rake scraper is a puzzle. All I did, the first time I made that second bevel, was eyeball it. I'm probably going to regrind so that both angles are the same, likely 40 degrees. As it is now, I keep sharpening the wrong side when I want to bring up a new edge and it's a pain! LOL! I do use a Wolverine jig and highly recommend it. It's a real work saver and steel saver as it only takes one, light pass to get back to a sharp edge. Phil

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Thanks so much Phil!

Howdy Phil Had to comment at beginning of video , yes a very lite wood , I said " When Phil puts that feed and wax on it will come alive " have you ever mixed a little sawdust with the CA glue or Elmer's Glue ? I have with larger cracks , . Have to do it a few times sometimes . To reduce any staining don't fill the crack up all the way and do it sooner so when you finish turn any stain is all gone and you are at the level of the glue . The piece you cut off , that will be a beautiful plate . maybe you could place it under this bowl . When you use a acid brush with feed and wax......do you clean it afterwards if so what do you use ? that feed and wax made the grain look nice ,

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Howdy Bruce! I have used sawdust and both CA and carpenters glue, but I really just don't like filling cracks unless it's for a structural issue. I only did it this time because they provided the brown CA so thought I'd give it a try. I like the idea of using the cutoff under this piece, cool! I don't clean the acid brush except to wipe it with the same cloth I applied the wax with. Then, I put both of them in a ziplock bag and they are good to go, next time. I've probably used that same cloth and brush on at least a dozen pieces. Thanks for taking your time to watch and comment, buddy! Phil

[@SiamWoodShop]

Nice work Phil. Lost the "Crap" count but it did bring a smile to my face. Turned out good in the end. Is Hawthorn the same as Blackthorn? I can't wait to get to my Raintree stock. Thanks for sharing. JC from Thailand.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, John! Lol! Guess I should go wash my mouth out! Don't know about Blackthorn and really don't know much about Hawthorn! Yeah, I can't wait until you get up and running, either! Want to see what you come up with. Phil

[@pietervanengelen3933]

Should have put a sealer on the area first. This helps reduce staining. Still a lovely piece

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

That would definitely help, Pieter! Thanks for the tip! Phil

Sounds like great stuff, David! Phil

[@kathybarbieri2345]

You may want to date it (year). Beauty!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I used to write the year on all my pieces, Kathy. Then I read someone say that when he sells his stuff at craft shows, people notice the year and if it's older than one year they think since no one else bought it there must be something wrong with it. Now, I've never sold any of my stuff but if I decide to, that comment made sense. But I agree, I would prefer the year be on there. Thanks! Phil

[@johnfrary5743]

the dark bark is a nice contrast. not had any success with live edge keep losing part or all of the bark

[@roamingchemist2514]

This is one place where I have had some luck with CA - run a line along the bark/wood joint both inside and out before final shaping, and always work outward from wood to bark, never the other way.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

The tree has to be cut while dormant, usually than means Winter time, John. I've been fairly lucky with most of mine, but yeah, lots of times it does just come off and there's nothing you can do about it. Thanks for your comment! Phil
