Woodturning a Huge Maple Bowl

[@KimTippin]

Wow!!! That is a Big bowl!! I LOVE BIG Bowls!! My dream is to have a huge wooden bowl as a bath tub. You made my dream come true...expect the dream didn't include all those other guys...🤔🤣😂🤣 🤷‍♀️ Very nice to hear your voice again 🤗 I thank you for sharing your talents. You are an inspiration to us! Happy and blessed 4th!

[@jarmstrong2843]

Kim Tippin Wood Turning KT.... you are one of those unnamed wood turning folks I have learned a lot from in my young wood turning experience mentioned in my post to Rod. You’re a really pretty sweet lady both as a person and in appearance. And of course, I know the reason behind all of this! Keep the faith and those wood shavings flying!!!!

[@wakelywanderer12]

Opening reminds me of Wilson on Home Improvement. Glad to see you’re making friends, you belong in that group of A listers. Fantastic bowl.

[@triciac.5078]

Yeap! Was coming here to make the same comment :)

[@RHumphrey]

haha! You're very kind, thank you!

[@rayhopkins9420]

Glad I’m not the only one to think of hi-Dee ho neighbor!

[@ElbowFalls]

Haha the little turners were awesome. Thanks for the video.

[@PohlBarnProductions]

The bowl looks Awesome Wilson I mean Rod ! pretty impressive group of people to be included in, I'm honored but still look a bit Square to any of them. LOL Thumbs up !

[@JensWoodworkingThings]

Well you are a bit of a blockhead!

[@evilbrat5376]

@@JensWoodworkingThings I had thought that but didn't mention it for I do not know that man -

[@RHumphrey]

LOL, thanks Doug! You're next brother, and you belong among them! I'll be carving a mini Doug for my gallery soon. I'll txt you a pic or two when I'm done 😁

[@jarmstrong2843]

For a second, I thought I was looking at Tool Time on TV with you hiding behind that huge chunk of wood. I think I’ll start calling you MSgt Wilson Wilson. Loved all the carved figurines you carved and put inside the bowl’s void. Like you, I am learning from each of those people in my wood turning experience; including YOU! I will say that I am happy to see Captain Eddy getting ready to venture into his shop again. I love his humor & common sense approach. It’s nice to see you honor each of those people in the way that you did. And I am totally blown away by the creativity and artistry each has developed in their turning experiences. It amazes me what you and others manage to get out of a chunk of wood. Perhaps I will get there some day and be proud enough to send you pictures of what I turned. But, that point in my experience seems to be far away since I am not able to turn wood in my shop due to the high summer temperatures that turn it into a sauna. To you and your viewers, please be safe turning wood and when out in public with this virus stuff. Semper Fi

[@theghostskateboardtricks1185]

I agree 100%, also my shop is hot and humid, I go out from about 9-11PM most nights and STILL get soaking wet. I also have learned from each of those turners as well as some others. My wife made a comment the other day about my expensive hobby.

[@pnwRC.]

8:10 to 10:26, I really enjoyed this creative bit of video! Thanks Marine, for taking us along on the adventure as you create yet another beautiful masterpiece!

[@DavidAdamsen]

Happy Independence Day, Rod! That was such a great video, and those figures you carved are hilarious! Amazing stuff! Beautiful bowl, too! 🤩

[@Georgia-WRBNS]

Good Morning Sir! You are THE Nicest! I almost choked on my coffee when I heard my name! Lol! You are Good Man! And Thank You so much! THE BOWL! As it's So Big, it needed All Caps when one even talks about it! 😄 Fantastic job! I love it! Especially the live edge! Very Nice! And Oh My Goodness! All your friends figurines! I love that you have all their smallest details! Put yourself in there and you have a Super Bowl(sorry, bad pun🤦🏼‍♀️ but I had to do it lol) of Talent! Great job as Always! May you and your Beautiful Bride and your family have an Amazing Fourth of July, celebrating this Great Country! May God Bless You and May God Bless these United States of America! 🎆🎇✨🎆🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤🤍💙

My daughter watched the video with me and said “Wow! He’s like the Bob Ross of wood!” The bowl is really beautiful! I’ve always loved larger sized wooden bowls like that.

Amazing, as usual. You continue to be one of my woodturning heroes. Keep it up! Thanks, Dave.

[@jilldavies7094]

Oh, what fun that was! And what a magnificent bowl---once you'd cleared out the squatters within! Thanks, Rod, and wishing you and your fellow Americans a happy 244th birthday on Saturday. We in England bear no grudges!

Gorgeous. Loved the funny interlude from the cave! Those people cravings are full if character.

I love the cavern idea with the wonderful figures you carved. You sir are a man with many talents. Oh yeah, the bowl turned out great too. Keep it up, I look forward to every video.

Good morning, Rod. Happy Independence Day! Thank you so much. Edit: Very clever and fun. Be Stihl my beating heart.. That bowl is big enough to float Moses through the reeds. Wow!

Thanks so much, Sapo! Ha! Nice Stihl reference 😁

That was a riot! Loved the humor you put into the surprise. Turned out to be a beautiful bowl.

[@darlouthia5153]

I loved the little people part. Fun, creative and unexpected. Incredible bowl. Do you name your pieces? This one made me think of the words: patience, determination, respect and hidden treasures.

[@sammorris2693]

Wow! What a beast!! Love your videos...keep them coming 👍

Thank you very much!

[@sammorris2693]

I'd love to get a piece of my work on one of your videos, if you'd think it was worthy of course. How would I send you pictures?

Loved the carving montage in the middle, Top. And the bowl looks great too. Billy

Wow!!! That looks like it was a beast!! Well done.

Such a fun episode. You worked hard on it. The bowl is beautiful as well.

Absolutely gorgeous bowl! I loved the "people " inside" of the inclusion. What a fun tribute! Thanks for sharing.

[@ronbeckhaus7326]

Beautiful bowl! A real beast of a chunk of wood. Well done

[@donfenton7473]

Ron that is a beautiful bowl. I thought the video was one of your best. Thanks for all you do.

[@stevenrobins11]

You're more patient than I am! I'm impressed by your approach to this challenge and the quality of the finished piece.

[@randysmith4344]

Beautiful piece and masterfully done Rod!

[@chiskiewoodcreations9575]

Nice bowl. I also have the 3520C with the extension. I turned a large bowl out of walnut that started with a 28 inch blank. After turning away the cracks and imperfections it was 22 inches. That was a beast and took a couple days to turn. Turned it green and let it dry for about 4 months. Turned out beautiful.

[@helenburke9507]

Love the “crew” you found !! Bowl is beautiful.

[@robertgarland9342]

The bowl came out very nice in the end. Wood turning is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. The piece of timber might look great from the outside but it's always the surprise in the middle that get you.

[@cezargolowniczy5297]

Hello mr. Rod , congratulacions also for paying tribute to your fellow woodworker .

[@dilynnvee374]

Whoa! Coolness. Loved the little intermission. I was waiting for Doug to appear. Lol

Great job! I loved the group at the end!

[@sheilahperry-rosales8748]

Nice bowl for popcorn! The figurines were spot on too.

[@carmens1108]

I'm not sure which I enjoyed more, watching you turn the bowl or seeing all those other turners emerge from the center of the bowl! This was a great video, nice job! ❤

[@thomasarussellsr]

Love all of the visitors litterally coming out of the woodwork. And the bowl turned out really nicely too. That would make a wonderful vessel sink with a few coats of epoxy in the interior of it.

[@katievitale168]

That is an awesome maple bowl! Thought it was a really cute tribute to some of the other wood turners! Mike Waldt was one of the first that I discovered with you, and I really love learning from the two of you. I will check out the others too.

[@kelvinrose9354]

Another great video. Spalted maple is one of my favorite woods. That inclusion was surely a surprise. I enjoyed the figurines, a lot! Nice job on the bowl. Nice finish too. One of my favorite things is when people step outside of the norm. Do something new. It’s easy to do the same thing every time because that feels comfortable. Outstanding video. 5 stars! Happy Fourth of July, Rod!

[@harrykeel8557]

Never know what or who you might find in a piece of wood that big. Awesome piece, Thank You for your service in keeping our country free and safe! Have a blessed Fourth of July!
