Woodturning: A Walnut Four Legged Square Bowl

Today's project is to see if making a four legged square bowl on the lathe is easier than the winged bowl I made ( • Woodturning: Why it's ... ) previously. You'll have to watch the video to find out, but it did turn out really nicely!
I hope you enjoy this video. Please let me know if there is a project you'd like to see me make and I will do my best to do it. Thank you for all the support you have shown me and the channel!

Ed, loved the video. I mostly do traditional and segmented bowls, but your video inspired me to try one of these. I used an 8"x8"x2" piece of curly birch that I had laying around and I was able to make a decent bowl on my first try on this last day of 2023. Pretty scary stuff and I don't think I will do another for awhile, but worth the effort.

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

That's great! I haven't turned anything like this since this one. I had to really slow down my movements and kept making sure that I kept my fingers out of the way. - Ed

[@stuartscott9646]

When Ed says he doesn't know what he's doing, do NOT believe him! Fine work Mr. Parker!

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you very much Stuart! Both my uncle and my grandfathers were good with their hands so maybe it's in the genes. Have a blessed day! - Ed

[@longdriver2]

After watching your video I made one very similar to yours. While power sanding under the legs I caught a finger nail and tore it off. I haven't completed it yet. I've been shying away from it because of past experience, but I watched the video again and I feel empowered to complete it now. Nice job.

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Dang sorry to hear about the nail! I was very nervous while I was turning that part. I haven't made one since this one. - Ed

[@mikeducott5999]

Nice job, those 4 legged bowls can be tough, especially on the knuckles! A little advice, rub the bevel whenever you use your bowl gouge, except when u e shear scraping with it! I promise u will really see a difference in the cuts u make and the ease of using a bowl gouge! I started with carbide as well and haven’t pick up a carbide tool in 2 years since I was told to run the bevel of the bowl gouge. Way less sanding to, once u get it down a bit!! Good luck and keep up the good work!

[@michaelhogan9053]

Hey Ed, I saw a guy glue wood on when making these bowls, he glued all four sides then cut into a circle on the bandsaw. Worked well, no cutting air,

[@jonsayre9404]

That’s the best way and a lot safer. You just cut the waste block off with the band saw.

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you Michael! Someone commented with a KZbin video showing a safer method. I will give that a try. - Ed

[@CrossCutCreations]

I often switch between carbide and traditional. I'm also more comfortable with carbide, but traditional tools do give me a great tool finish. Nice work, Ed.

[@WolfRidgeWoodworking]

Thank you very much! I find they do for me also. I don't know what it is, but I have such a difficult time with the gouge when truing up the roundness of the piece at the beginning. The bottom and inside are not too bad unless it gets deep and then I have to revert to the carbides. - Ed

[@jarmstrong2843]

See, that didn't hurt. Not too shabby for your first four winged bowl. Great Job!! However, I don’t buy the notion of your expressing some inexperience turning. I see nothing but professionalism in your turnings. The marks around the bottom of the bowl looked to be burnishing marks from the tool. Lighten up on the pressure and take smaller bites. Turning at to low rpm could be the cause of those marks, as well. You want to turn +1000 rpm. Gotta keep the rpm high with carbide tools when turning. This is particularly true when turning the wings to minimize tear out and smoother turning. Nothing wrong with using carbide on the project. Even seasoned wood turners will use carbide to make the job easier. As you become more proficient with a gouge, reduced sanding will result. However, be careful with the gouge where things get narrow towards the top of the back side. You'll get a bad catch. Small round carbide should do the trick here. Also watch your fingers around those spinning wings. You can lose or break a finger very quickly being hit by one or more. Other than this, I say NICE JOB!!! KEEP THOSE WOOD SHAVINGS FLYING. There is a video somewhere on KZbin that shows how to turn these bowls much easier by using sacrificial wool glued to your blank. It prevents injury from the rotating feet. If I can locate the video, I will post the link here provided KZbin does not remove it. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH2Zk5Ksm9uNkKM
