Woodturning A Black Walnut Bowl

Black walnut is a great wood to turn. It turns well and is beautiful. A few cracks along the way are taken care of with Standbond CA glue.

I love that you repair a tear out or a split. Art doesn't require perfection, only some ❤ and appreciation.

Hey Peggy! Absolutely please keep showing your progress by stopping and starting! I don’t understand other channels that hardly ever stop or never stop, why they think it’s interesting to watch somebody generating a huge pile of wood shavings is beyond me…

I love the difference between the dark and lighter grains of the wood. The bowl came out great.

Peggy, it's so good to another video. My granddaughter has taken an interest in woodturning. She has always loved hanging out in grandpa's shop. That is another beautiful bowl.

[@PFWoodturning]

That is awesome!

Fantastic job on walnut bowl..you make it look so easy..good to see your videos again.. Ian

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks 👍

[@terrytenley9327]

I enjoy each video you do thank you.. I been turning for 56 years and I go around and find folks cutting a tree on their property.. I find all kinds of green wood.. I never like turning dry firewood or drift wood.. But for years I have use watering troughs and old washtubs to soak my greenwood in.. some I have kept for two years before I got around to turning them..I have soaked live oak, walnut, maple, mesquite, you name it.. But at least if I get a crack it’s because it was drying after I turned it the first time..I like paste wax and shrink wrap these days to slow drying and keep weighing them so I know when to put them in the attic.. The attic soars to 140 degrees here in the summer and very seldom get a bowl that’s been turn once to crack.. Fruit woods are the hardest to keep from cracking.. I hope you try to keep your wood wet till turning.. I don’t buy much wood unless it’s part of a resin type bowl. Have fun and keep going. You are fun to watch..

Great makings on the bowl, so much character to the piece. Loved your cutting board designs too.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks for watching

[@barry.w.christie]

I think this is one of my pet hates when turning a solid piece of wood, the amount of wood which is wasted ... but that's part of the price to get the piece you want out of the wood you have! Some pretty serious cracks there, but what a beautiful bowl it turned out to be .... oooh, love those cutting boards, the wood and colours of the resin are fantastic .... PLEASE show us the process of making them👍

[@richardmead9785]

Walnut makes a beautiful bowl! I especially like the use of dark brown Starbond instead of black for crack repair. In my opinion it blends with the wood much better. It seems like “everybody” who turns and repairs cracks just grabs the black. Not always the best choice, I think.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@franwilson2097]

very nice Peggy ,wish we had access to that kind of wood here but is what it is,keep up the good work

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@SpunbyGreenJeans]

Peggy, I have the One way coring system. I have cored out dry ash blanks and it cut those well. Cuts real nice on wet wood. Only thing is the cored blanks get cut the way the knives are shaped. You can't change that shape. If you leave extra thickness, you can then shape the way you want.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you!!

[@jeffweese4551]

Black Walnut has to be my favourite wood to work with, and the smell - absolutely lovely. Thanks for sharing, a beautiful, insightful video.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Jeff!

[@markgreenstein1301]

Greetings - Enjoyed the video. And coincidentally we were in Portland Maine for a couple days last week on our way to Acadia National Park. We'd never been to Maine before -- beautiful area.

Great crack recovery!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@velodctr]

Good to see another video. I have lots of walnut blanks and they have all cracked. Even after cuting the wood in the field, sealing with anchorseal, then rough turning to 1 in thick and reseal immediatley they crack. Mahoney who sells the walnut oil , uses tons of walnut and has no cracks . Just not sure what I am doing wrong. Keep up the good work and make a video making your boards!

[@noelgreen9381]

Re bowlsaver, I have the woodcut system #4 I believe. It’s is great, but bowlsaver work best when the wood is still a bit wet. I have cored dry ash, but it is very slow, tedious and a bit dangerous. I have also used Oneway, the older system that did not have tailstock support, and did not like it at all.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!! 😎✌️

[@donboche1672]

Great bowl as always! Thanks for sharing your turnings. I love black walnut, but allergic to it if the dust is on my skin to long. I do wear a mask. 😊

[@PFWoodturning]

Oh no! That stinks. Thanks for watching!

[@jaybeliever1479]

Nice bowl, Peggy. I was wondering how it would look if you left more of the live edge on the outside even if it was less than round. It would still be round on the inside, but would have an interesting shape outside. Thanks for the video.

[@PFWoodturning]

Great idea!

[@kathywidmer1439]

As always, nice work! I have the one way coring system and love it. It’s the only one I’ve used though but I did a lot of research to find out which system would be right for me (basically I needed fool proof😅)

[@PFWoodturning]

Cool, thanks!

[@michaelshort1980]

I always appreciate that you share your turning speed at various points in the turn. Very helpful for the new turners out there. Also, on this turn what type of live center are you using ? Thanks!

Hi Peggy. I learned a lot of important things from almost all of your videos. Again very nice job and video. I would like you to review my rookie videos and give your opinion.

[@Caasi67]

You probably get this comment 30 times per video, but why do you turn seasoned wood instead of rough turning while still wet?

[@PFWoodturning]

Just personal preference. I don't like waiting for it to dry.

[@nevillewomersley7841]

A much better video. You actually have the headstock on your left side and not like the previous video.
