Live Edge, End Grain, Winged Bowl - Wood Turning

[@jarmstrong2843]

End grain turning can be a challenge. This bowl turned out very nice, Phil!👍👍👍👍👍 I have better luck getting a smooth cut with carbide if I crank up the speed to around 1300-1500 rpm. One of the characteristics of using carbide is that the piece must be turned at a fast speed to get a good finish with the cutting edge just tad bit higher past the center….Just a small tad!!! Suggest you experiment with the technique and see what works best for you.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I'm pretty much going to stick to high speed steel for the most part. I just prefer it but your advice is sound. Thanks!

[@xyz9250]

Stunningly gorgeous!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@LansdowneWoodworker]

Hi Phil l like your turning. With hollowing end grain if you start with a hole drilled to your depth and then clean out from center to outside with pull cut you’ll find it much easier with either carbide or our conventional tools.

[@kevinrenfro8679]

Love this bowl, beautiful. I love my carbide chisels , I can get a pretty smooth finish by just going very slowly and barely touching the wood. Your videos are the best since you tell exactly what chisel and speed to use, not many do that and NO Commercials!

Nice job, Phil! I particularly like the finish. Shape is nice too! I’ve not done and end grain bowl yet, but I like the way that turned out! By the way, how do you sharpen a Forstner bit.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Charles! I just sharpen the inside flat of the Forstner bit. I simply use a 400 grit diamond card and just run it back and forth until it's sharp. I haven't found it necessary to sharpen the teeth.

Turned out really nice Phil. Cherry is one of my favourite woods to turn.

[@alicemiller3139]

You do beautiful work. I don’t get why you use sanding sealer before the varnish. What’s the difference? What would happen if you just used the varnish?

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Alice! 😀 The sealer I use is Zinsser Seal Coat then I finish with Zinsser shellac. The advantage to this particular sealer is, it's thinner than shellac so penetrates the wood deeper and, it's dewaxed. That means you can put any clear coat over it. Shellac has wax in it and it's thicker than sealer so won't penetrate as deeply. Makes a great finish but not so much a sealer. Also, think of sealer as using primer before paint. It just prepares the wood to accept the paint better and, it works!

[@bysonderby]

Gorgeous piece, Phil! I love turning cherry, especially when it`s slightly wet, it smell wonderfully of cherries :) Thanks for showing this wonderful little thing with the long name :D Regards Lars

I am really thankful for how well you explain what you are doing. I am brand new to wood turning, after inheriting a lathe that has been in my husbands family for three generations. Unfortunately, I have no one to learn from in person so my entire wood turning education has been online. I am loving it and very hopeful my daughter will be the fourth generation to create on this lathe.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Tammy! I too, learned how to turn by watching KZbin videos. Well, I had a class in 7th grade but that's been awhile, now. There is such a wealth of knowledgeable people willing to share their experience with us. I'm grateful for what I've learned and if I can pass a little of it on, well, I couldn't ask for more than that! Enjoy your lathe and yes, please include your daughter in the learning experience.

I have been watching a variety of wood turners on YT and I have to say that I like yours probably better than most for the simple fact that you do a terrific job of explaining, in detail, of which most do not tell you anything. Ranging from size gouges, speed, and even what to use on the wood for the finishes. Now I say this because I am just beginning to learn the art of turning and the amount of patience and detail you give is perfect for me. Thank you for your vids and your wonderful work. I also just became a sub so I can keep up with your work as you do different pieces and technics.

[@davidkuhns8389]

Great bowl and another well-done video. One suggestion. On end grain, it is easier to cut with the grain, rather than push into it. That means you work opposite to the way you do normally. After you drilled the center, you could have used a pull cut, with your swept back grind bowl gouge. That way the grain is supported, making for easier work and a smoother surface. The same is true on the outside of the bowl: you can work in the opposite direction from your normal bowl, ensuring the grain is supported. Again, great bowl and forgive my making suggestions.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, David! Suggestions are always welcome, I have much to learn and it's suggestions like yours that help me along the path to becoming a better turner. I will try my best to implement your suggestions next time I turn an end grain piece. I do understand what you are saying, but sometimes when I'm standing there, tool in hand, I can't work it out in my mind. Old age, I guess! Thank you for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated!

[@andrewhuske4607]

I love your work, and being a very new self teaching turner I appreciate your dialogue explaining the thought processes behind why you choose a certain method. So here is my newbie question, what is the purpose of sanding sealer, and do you have to match the sealer with the end finish you will use? ie; shellac based sanding sealer=shellac only finishes.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you very much, Andrew! Sanding sealer seals the wood to prepare it for final finish. Sometimes it is helpful in sealing and stabilizing punky or loose grain so it can then be turned and sanded cleaner than it can without it. The brand of sanding sealer is use is Zinsser Seal Coat. It is a pre-thinned, de-waxed shellac. This is important. Some folks will just thin shellac thinking they have made a sanding sealer and then wonder why their finish won't stick to it. Shellac naturally contains wax. You can't apply a finish over wax. I've been using the Seal Coat for years and have never had a problem with any finish I have applied over it. I hope that helps! Phil

[@andrewhuske4607]

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Thank you Phil, just for my clarity, can you use non-shellac finishes after using a shellac based sanding sealer?

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

@@andrewhuske4607 yes! You can use ANY clear finish for a final coat. Here is the product page for Seal Coat: www.rustoleum.com/en/product-catalog/consumer-brands/zinsser/interior-wood-finishes/sealcoat-universal-sanding-sealer

[@retmachinist]

Howdy Phil.... Most of my bowls I make from the end grain I think the figure in it is what is spectacular . You're so busy in the morning , I am too @ 9 . I like that little protrusion coming off where branch came out.... , just a suggestion , take a dowel and put some sandpaper on it and sand a little groove , now you can place a wooden spoon on it . Cherry is so nice to work with , and when you put a finish on it is soooooo nice , that live edge is fantastic . I saw some bug holes , any bugs come out say hello ? LOL .... since you used CA , I have bought some and I use it to squirt into some holes help seal inside , figuring if moisture got in may split from the inside out . New England weather unpredictable especially with moisture and humidity . Anyway Phil your bowl looks so nice .

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

End grain isn't quite as bad as I expected it to be, Bruce. I like that there is no end grain to speak of on the sides of the bowl. I'll probably make more like that. Yeah, could make a spoon rest real easily. I actually thought of that, but thought it might look like an ashtray! LOL! Holes but no bugs in this one, thankfully. Glad the CA worked out for you. Thank you, Bruce, for continuing to watch and comment, very much appreciated!

[@retmachinist]

Ha your right ...it would like a ash tray.....so Phil you would have to turn a spoon right a way and place it on the bowl so it would look so much like a ash tray LOL .....that little protrusion gives it a special character adds so much to it

Hi Phil,, Very nice bowl! The little "nub/handle/bark" makes the whole piece! Do you know what the moisture content was before turning? Thanks for the video,,, Tom

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Tom! I agree about the little handle, but that was designed right in there before I got my hands on it. I just left it alone! :) I did not measure the moisture content on this one. I've had the cherry for more than 30 years so I just figured it was about as dry as it was going to get! Typically, around here, wood never gets much below 10% and I don't have any qualms about turning a piece at 20%. So far, so good! Phil

[@thomasckuzia7129]

Being that I've only been turning for about 1-1/2 years I don't have any real dry wood. I did find a piece of 4"x4" about a foot long that I've had since we built this house over 50 years ago!I put it on the lathe and tried to turn a long stem wine "glass" out of it.It ended up looking more like a chalice but it's dry for sure! LOL Most of what I have reads between 25%-35% on my moisture meter.The only type of wood that has cracked after a micro wave treatment is Red Oak!Been pretty lucky with the other types of wood though!

[@ThePapa1947]

I really like the looks of this one Phil. The bark really accents the cherry perfectly. That little handle on the rim looks as though it was designed right in the bowl. Which I would say it was. Great vision seeing that. I really need to try the shellac finish. How much do you cut the shellac for the final finish? I have much better control with carbides in the end grain so I use what it takes. How much time does it take to edit you videos? They flow so smoothly. I have 3 different ones recorded and it seems I spend more time with edits than I do turning. Hope to get one or 2 posted soon. Keep up the great work! Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Gary! That little handle was definitely designed right in there before I got my hands on it! I do think it makes the piece. Gary, I buy my shellac pre-mixed. I use Zinsser Seal Coat for my sanding sealer and Zinsser Shellac for the finish. Both are pre-mixed. I started using carbide tools with some bars and cutters purchased from Captain Eddie Castelin. Now that I have purchased a couple tools from Easy Wood Tools, I see a much higher quality. But man, they are expensive! They do work great, though, especially on end grain. It used to take me about the same amount of time to edit as it does to turn the piece, much like you. Now, I'm a little faster but not much. I find I'm only turning about one piece per week when I used to turn about three pieces per week before I started my channel. Looking forward to your next videos, keep'em coming! Phil
