My 79 yr old husband formerly taught woodworking and has promised to teach me woodturning. His woodshop has been in “retirement” and is a mess, so until it's ready to use, we watch your videos almost daily. When we first found you, he said “That guy knows his stuff.” I agree!

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thanks you kindly! I'm honored you watch my videos. I wish you all the best when you shop is ready. Remember to enjoy the whole process and practice persistently. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@kcglide]

Honestly Kent, I've learned more from you than most other KZbin wood turning videos. Your video about riding the bevel made a light go off in my head and the degree grind. I'm stuck on the 55 degree Irish grind. It serves me well. I've watched 100's of videos, but it's you and Cap'n Eddie Castelin. Y'all are the best. People ask me how I did that? I watched KZbin videos. Glad I found you.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Wow, thanks. I'm so glad to be a part of your journey! Enjoy and Happy Turning!

[@LewisKauffman]

Thanks! Looking forward to the drying e-course, always interested in that segment of turning.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thanks! I'm working on that eCourse right now. Stay tuned. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@jasonclark4922]

Love this pattern. I've got the same sap-spalting pine log sections I'm turning now. Thanks for your postings

[@billrobinson8939]

Wish I knew the brown bag trick a couple weeks ago. I found an 18" x 7" log in the community brush pile that looked like cedar but had only a wet wood smell. Very wet. I turned a bowl from a 4" chunk that looked good. Put in the house and went away for the weekend. It cracked like crazy. One crack was 3/8" out the outer rim. Very disappointing. I took it back out to the shop and loaded it up with CA glue. Now I'm afraid to cut the rest of the log into chunks. When I get around to cutting up the rest of the log, I'm going to wrap each piece in a heavy paper I have and monitor it daily. Thanks for another great informational video.

[@philranalli1901]

Will done

[@kevinbooth2063]

Kent, I was going back through previously watched videos. When you were hollowing the bowl. All I could see was your logo. Imagine that how cool is this. Keep turning and be safe.

[@c0c0asauce]

I have a lot of loblolly pines on my property. The wood is more pale and the blue coloring is randomly scattered throughout the wood. The pine you have here has more defined rings. I practiced on green pieces of this pine until stopped having tear out before I bought my first bowl blank. I made a couple lamp shades with it as well. The firey red glow through the wood makes a plain lamp give a lot of warmth to a room. I planted every tree on my property so all my trees are younger than me lol.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

That's fantastic you have focused on that species and got to know it so well. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

Kent, I looked this video up to watch a second time. I’ve got my first large end grain bowl mounted and thought I’d better have a refresher. I’m using a face plate and my bowl will be a little deeper but it’s about the same diameter. Face shield at the ready, benches covered with painters plastic, tools sharp, fingers (figuratively) crossed and ready to try. Wish me luck.

[@neilmcdonald6902]

I’m so glad I found your videos. Just getting truly started with this turning and your videos are helping tremendously. I turned A 6 inch saucer in shop class 53 yrs ago, and done nothing with a lathe since, but decided to take it up again. Your instructions are very clear and easy to grasp.

Great video on end grain turning not to mention a beautiful bowl. When I first got started in turning I was trying to make bowls this way primarily because I didn’t know any better and got so frustrated with how miserable they would turn out. I have a few logs that I’ve been hanging onto that I thought would make for cool deep bowls with taller bases that Would be turned end grain, this video as well as your last have definitely taught me the correct way to go about making something more than a hollow form or small box that would be end grain turned. Thanks for sharing.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

[@ericwinckler5142]

Hi Kent, I enjoyed see this pine bowl end grain. I have tried different ways to dry my turned bowls and most of the time mold becomes a factor. I live in Tennessee and for now just letting them dry in the shop has worked for me. I have also tried the microwave but must have done that a little wrong also. But I do enjoy and learning from you each time and thank you also.👍👍👍

Absolutely awesome! You are so clever!

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thanks. Glad you like this one. Happy Turning!

[@judithflow3131]

I'd probably flatten one side, make a tennon, and then flip it immediately to get rid of the bit, then flatten the other side, make a tennon there as well and shape the outside of the bowl, then proceed as usual by flipping it again and removing the first tenoon while shaping the inside. Just to get rid of that bit asap and have the piece (especially such a large one) mounted more reliably.

[@HiramWoodworking]

I am in the middle of a very similar turning with a walnut cookie I cut down 4 years ago. I just let it dry and crack (which it didn’t crack too badly). I have almost finished turning the inside. It’s fun to practice those long smooth cuts into endgrain.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Yes, it is fun and completely different compared to side grain turning. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@jeffdriscoll9921]

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

That's possible, and a got subject for another video. Happy Turning!

[@ThomasJacobsen-mz8tu]

Great video, with valuable tips. I want to add that the wood appears to be Ponderosa Pine which is susceptible to the mountain pine beetle. These beetles burrow under the bark to winter, and bring with them a blue fungus. The burrowing cuts and compromises some of the water conductive fibers which transports the blue fungus, This causes the blue stains in the outer edges of the tree. Because water conduction is compromised, if the tree can't purge the beetle with it's sap the tree begins to die from the top down. You can see examples of this in most big box lumber stores.

Kent, each time I watch you videos I am amazed at your skills and descriptions, great teaching skills besides the art you produce. Have you turned end grain with Norfolk Pine ? What of it's embedded limbs - I would like to see it done. Would you get catches with the crossing limb segments?

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Nelson, Thank you, for the kind words. Norfolk pine will tear a bit at times, but with a sharp gouge the limbs are really no issue. All the best to you and Happy Turning! Kent

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you kindly!!! All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@jardiff5983]

looks like a ponderosa pine to me. I don't have a lathe, i just enjoy your videos, but i do own a sawmill. I have noticed that the amount of pitch in the wood depends on the time of year the tree is cut down. live pines are about 50% water year round but are really sticky with sap if cut down in the springtime. it makes a difference on my blade lubricant on a sticky tree. if its real bad, i have to add pinesol or dawn dish soap to keep the pitch from building up on the blade. also, if in a bark beatle zone, pines should only be taken in the winter when the bugs are dormant, if possible. no sense providing them anymore habitat than necessary. the pith being off center usually means constant wind from one side, or it was growing on a hillside.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Josh, thanks for writing and sharing. Great info there! I'm sure you've seen you share of interesting trees! All the best to you and Happy Turning (maybe someday)! ;)

[@israelcharo1563]

Great video and thanks for the clear explanations along the way... In preparing blanks from logs for side-grain bowls we always take care to remove the pith from the blank for fear of cracking. In the case of end-grain bowls the pith will of course be in the bowl...I understand the notion of slowing down the drying process to prevent cracks... but when starting with green wood won't cracks still begin at the pith and propagate outwards?

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Yes, it is very likely going to crack. However, the crack can be repaired or left as a feature. Happy Turning!

[@davepopejoy7515]

Very helpful information! What was the initial moisture?

[@chuckwalton2868]

Gorgeous! From my experience, I'm wondering if even by slowing the drying process if you're going to escape checking. One of my favorite parts of your videos is hearing you express your enjoyment in the beauty & art of it all. I've had the experience several times of being so moved by the shear beauty of the piece itself, that I felt I couldn't in good conscience put my initials on the bottom... like, "wow, I didn't do that!"

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Yes, there is magic in creating turnings with wood. I feel the same way many times. This piece will probably check and I'll incorporate that into the final piece, one way or another. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

I did too but it was mainly because I was never told on any of the beginner videos I watched that you had to cut the logs down the middle to turn the side grain. Used to get so frustrated watching videos where they removed huge strips easily and near effortlessly hollowing them while I got small pieces/dust and tons of skips while using the bowl gouge before I experimented with cutting it in half.....damn near teared up when I started to removed chunks of wood for the first time but at least I got damn good with end grain turning

For a beginner like me, this channel is the best I can ask for, and I believe experienced turners will find it interesting too... great work man. Only have one question, what is your thought about expanding jaw hold, and whether or not are you planning a video about it.

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Thank you for the kind words. I rarely use a mortise, with an expanded hold because I want the mass at the bowl bottom so I can customize the shape of the base and the foot. Plus, narrow bottom bowls do not offer enough "meat" for a secure mortise connection. Just my preference. Both ways can work. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

[@idfclutchnixon]

So I watched your end grain bowl turning video - cool. But how do you sand it once it has dried?

[@fisherbig1]

Yo hubiese balanceado y emparejado la superficie exterior con una gubia mas gruesa y trabajando de adentro hacia afuera y después a la inversa. Muy lindo trabajo. Felicitaciones

[@jimbalz3017]

I hope you'll show the progress of these green-turned bowls as the weeks progress. I'd love to see them as they dry. How do you know when they're done? Do you just go by the condition of the bag, or do you weigh or something else more analytical? Then what? sand and finish as usual???

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

You'll know when the bowl is drying, it's very obvious. Also, weighing is the method to know when the bowl has reached equilibrium. Happy Turning!

[@user-to1kx8rq5t]

You cut from outer edge of bowl toward center yet that’s unsupported, no? Your other video-you started from center and worked toward rim. Why the difference?

[@miltroth5447]

Why are you using a MT2 extension in you videos? Videos are great, watch them all learn a lot. Thanks

I get the impression that an end grain bowl would be harder to do for a beginner? But I love the looks of it

It's not that hard to make. You can do it. Happy Turning!

What is on the back of the jam chuck you are using. How does it attach to the headstock? I am going to try to make an end grain bowl tomorrow at my makers space. Your videos are so informative. Thankyou

[@TurnAWoodBowl]

Barbara, thats a tenon and it's attaching into a dovetail four-jaw chuck. See this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpSVhXl-m5uqhc0 Happy Turning!
