@1:22 Now, I'm actually watching. You have a beast of a Wadkin lathe?!!!!

[@beverlym5465]

I want that bowl!!!!

[@MartinWoodhead]

Make me an offer!

[@PBUCKY1969]

Gorgeous bowl Martin - I must admit though, I have serious lathe envy!

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks very much Paully. It's nice to have a big lath but it doesn't make you a better turner.

[@PBUCKY1969]

@@MartinWoodhead very true Martin - nice to dream though!

[@oneshotme]

To bad to didn't core it so you could get another bowl or two out of it instead if wood chips on the floor Extremely beautiful bowl and an amazing job turning it as well!!!!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@MartinWoodhead]

You wouldn't say that if you saw my bowl mountain! 👀 Thanks for watching! 😊

[@heathermacmillan962]

Wow! Amazing bowl 😃💙

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks Heather. 😊

[@davidshaper5146]

You need a coring setup. Nice turn.

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@dlawson716]

Beautiful piece. What size bowl is that? Also, what size faceplate did you use for that one?

[@mgmoody42]

@5:00 that is a big honking lather!

[@sweetlandsheatingcooling9039]

Wow! That is beautiful! What are the final dimensions?

[@MartinWoodhead]

21 ins x 4.5 ins. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@mgmoody42]

@0:50 Yes, if there is a hole for a screw, put one in.

[@MartinWoodhead]

Yes it was a heavy piece of wood! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@rodolfogilvanfantim2822]

Bom dia Martin, quando a madeira ajuda o milagre acontece , parabens .

Muito obrigado Rodolfo. 😊

[@daviddavies6844]

Hi MARTIN..ITS A REALLY GREAT BIT OF WOOD AN YOU MADE A BEAUTIFUL LOOKING BOWL....IM SOLD ON ELM MY WIFE LOVES IT TO WE HAVE A DINNING TABLE I MADE OF ELM AND TWO OLD STYLE SETTLES TABLE LAMP OF ELM ....WE GREW UP ON THE HARESFIELD ESTATE IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE ...EVEN MY POSTAL ADRESS WAS THE ELMS ... IT WAS LOADED WITH ELM AND SOME MASSIVE TREES...SAD THING THAT ELM BUG KILLED THEM OFF AND LOADS BURNT...I WAS TOLD YOU WERE OK UP SCOTLAND AS A BIT COLDER YOURS WERE OK THE BUG DIDNT STRIKE YOU...IM STILL TURNING BUT THE WOOD IS SO HEAVY AND REAL HARD HERE AS WE ARE NOW IN N.S.W. AUSTRALIA HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILES SOUTH OF BRISBANE....YES WE DO HAVE WHAT WE MADE WITH US...WILL WATCH FOR MORE OF YOUR FILMS.....DAVID..

[@MartinWoodhead]

Hi David Really nice to hear some of your story, The Elms are dying hear too, we have are own very small woodland mostly Elm some looks healthy but its mostly dying, at least I have plenty for turning. I understand what you mean about really hard woods, it's not a lot of plessor when the wood is so hard, constantly sharpening and very slow progress. But I'm sour there must be some interesting woods good for turning. Gday, thank you for your comments and for watching! 😊

[@drgruber57]

Beautiful! Thanks for the video! By the way, was that parafin or some kind of wax that you applied before spraying the lacquer?

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks for watching Dave. I didn't apply anything before spraying, I was sanding. 👀😊

[@larryjones5318]

Oh! That is wonderful. I truly love watching you work. You make it look so easy. I do have a question though. I notice that it doesn’t appear that you utilize an Irish grind. I’m beginning to think about the change. What is your favorite gouge angle for turning bowls?

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks very much Larry. I use a 40/40 grind and something like 55 degree for the bottom. 😊

[@erniesmith1097]

Woohoo Martin that's something large all right and the grain figure is amazing, you carnt beat a good crotch. That wood have to be the biggest set of Cole jaws on any channel I have seen. 🏅🏅🏅Ernie smith from brisbane Australia

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks very much Ernie, yes it was a very nice piece of wood! 😊

[@dionlee3920]

are you once turning everything?

[@MartinWoodhead]

No, it's not always evident in the videos. This bowl was turned over a a couple of months to allow for drying and movement. 😊

[@ronnielloyd4514]

Soup bowl 😁

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@briardsnz]

She’s a beauty, a very big, very grand beauty. That grain through the crotch wood. Great job!

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@oneshotme]

I think it would cover my whole table HAHAHAHA

[@sheikhkhalid5969]

$3700.99 for the bowl. How much for the lathe? just asking. The changeble swing is very cool.

[@MartinWoodhead]

You've got yourself a deal for the bowl. The lathes not for sale! 😊

[@richardholt5602]

Nice work, don't you use bowl saver as you could have got more nice bowls out of the one piece.

[@MartinWoodhead]

You wouldn't say that if you saw my bowl mountain! 👀 Thanks for watching! 😊

[@STMwoodturning]

Looks great Martin! However, this almost too “normal” of a turning for you 😂😂

[@MartinWoodhead]

Yes I know it's a bit boring isn't it! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@STMwoodturning]

@@MartinWoodhead not boring at all sir! I love seeing the natural beauty of the wood be exposed.
