Sapele and Beech Fruit Bowl - Wood turning

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Those nasty old scrap pieces turned out to be some gorgeous wood. You’ve been turning some really nice work lately. Well done!

[@RDMWoodturning]

Thank you. I’ve still got one more sapele scrap wood bowl to turn, the glue is nearly set. 👍

[@jamesbrasseaux133]

I love to see old wood used to make something beautiful.

[@RDMWoodturning]

I agree! Thanks for watching 👍

A real elegant bowl... this very fine red stripes in... absolutly inspiring!!! Would round the edges on top... looks softer... But the combi is outstanding!!! ❤ Chapeau 🎩 👍 🇩🇪

I see a lot of interesting combinatios of woods, especially in bowl turing. I have to wonder how they will hold up over time ifthe woods are more or less "athletic". Athletic is a term used to talk about how muchwood moves, even after drying and curing, because of changing atmopheric conditions; not just heat and humidity but barometric pressure as well as ambient humidity if the bowl is sent to another place, say from Delaware to Arizona.

[@RDMWoodturning]

Humidity and indoor heating are big challenges. Hopefully the bowl will hold up. Thanks

[@robbingrelecki1127]

That’s a really beautiful bowl. Question - did you decide to use the beeswax oil so it would be food safe?

[@RDMWoodturning]

Yes, I wanted to make sure it was food safe, so a totally natural product of beeswax oil was used. Thanks for watching 👍

[@dang6832]

Please double or triple the veneer pieces. I’d like to see more color in the beautiful things you make.

[@RDMWoodturning]

I know what you mean. I've just ordered some 1.5mm veneer, so it's 2.5x thicker. Hopefully I'll feature it soon. Thanks

[@dang6832]

@ the thinner color lines feel like they barely add color to the pieces. I like splashes of color on some pieces so I would love to see the colored lines be more prominent.

[@rwyse1]

Excellent turning can you tell me the supplier of the makers name discs

[@RDMWoodturning]

I make them myself with a laser engraver. Thanks 👍

[@twoblacklabs]

@@RDMWoodturning What kind of laser engraver? I see lots on KZbin but never really know what products yield what results. It would be nice to be able to put a real world result to a product name. Thanks and the bowl turned out very nice. I particularly liked that there was no tear out as a result of your glue up.

[@RDMWoodturning]

@@twoblacklabs I have an aufero laser 2. It was fairly cheap and a budget model (£200 ish). Engraves well, but struggles to cut, as it is fairly low powered. Most lasers use the same software laserGRBL. If I were to buy another it would be something with a bit more power.

[@twoblacklabs]

⁠@@RDMWoodturningthanks. Cheap is good!

[@michaelross8794]

That old door frame is getting a LOT of recycled mileage! While I LOVE sapele, I've not worked with beech at all. I LOVE your results. However, how hard is beech? I find that a harder maple AND paduak is actually really, really touchy (I had one of the two glueups, similar to yours in this video, catastrohpically shatter on the lathe) because the density of the two are so radically different...or at least that's my working theory. I mean, I did have a bad catch (which I rarely get anymore), but that could not possibly be the issue. After all, it can't be my fault, right?

[@RDMWoodturning]

Beech is pretty hard, right up there with Ash. If I were to do it again I’d probably go for Cherry with the sapele, so that the density would be similar. No one enjoys a catch. Oak is the one wood that always gets me! 😀👍

[@michaelross8794]

Oak...IKR?!?!?!

[@timgoodall636]

Why have you put the red veneers in?

[@RDMWoodturning]

The red is just a subtle highlight. It’s the fine details that elevate a piece from being ok to good. 👍

[@timgoodall636]

@RDMWoodturning thanks for that. I'll give it a try.

[@zelmeshtin]

چرا اون قرمز رو گزاشتین جنسش چیه.؟

[@RDMWoodturning]

چوب قرمز، روکش لاله است که به رنگ قرمز رنگ آمیزی شده است. ضخامت آن 0.6 میلی متر است و جزئیات کمی به کاسه اضافه می کند. ممنون که تماشا کردید
