Oak and Jarrah topped Bowl - Wood turning

Sometimes just keeping a simple shape and letting the beauty of the wood shine through is the best option!
English Oak with Australian Jarrah. The Jarrah was recycled from The Rebuild Site www.rebuildsit... in Carlisle, originally this was elegant hardwood floorboards carefully removed and repurposed from a local house near Carlisle.
The finished bowl measures 127mm x 63mm (5" x 2 1/2").
Thank you for watching.

Thank you! Cheers!

[@lg7530]

You make it look so easy! (I know it takes time and skill and patience to get to the level of turning you show us) I enjoy seeing the "chunk" become a beautiful bowl.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Very kind. Thank you very much!👍

That red veneer is so subtle and yet adds so much.

Nice

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you😎👍

[@andrewallason4530]

Jarrah is a phenomenal wood. It was called Swan River Mahogany by the early settlers (Swan River being in Perth, Western Australia). Gorgeous looking bowl. I would have loved to see you using Tasmanian Oak with the Jarrah (Perth born sandgroper here, now living in Tassie)

[@RDMWoodturning]

Perhaps one for the future. I love experimenting with combinations of wood. Thanks for watching 😀👍

Looks beautiful. What make of toolrest do you use?

[@RDMWoodturning]

It was just a cheap 12” rest from Amazon. One of the better items that I’ve bought, much better than the standard 6” rest.

[@DavidMountford-k7t]

Do you find your lathe powerful enough?

[@RDMWoodturning]

For most turning, yes. Once over 250mm diameter with a dense material it starts to stutter, but it’s manageable. Perhaps a bigger lathe next year.

[@danliddle2279]

What size chuck do you use?

[@RDMWoodturning]

I use a Charnwood Viper 2 chuck most of the time. The jaws fit a 40mm mortise, so it is useful for smaller projects. 👍

[@wecarver68]

Do you keep them or sell ? what would your price for each bowl you made??

[@RDMWoodturning]

I give a lot away as gifts for friends and family. If I do occasionally sell them at a craft fair I usually just do diameter multiplied by height, then plus how many hours spent (all in inches) then adjust for type of wood. E.g. a 6x2 inch bowl that took 2 hours, would be £14 minimum, then adjust for type of wood. Hope that helps. I’m sure that everyone does it differently. 👍

[@wecarver68]

@@RDMWoodturning Interesting..

[@STMwoodturning]

Nice, simple bowl. What do you do with the pieces you make on your channel?

[@RDMWoodturning]

I usually give them as gifts, but if I get a backlog of 30+ bowls, I'll go to a local craft fair and sell some... I just don't like parting with them 😂 Thanks for watching 👍
