Woodturning - Cherry Salad Bowl

In this video I wood turn a salad bowl from a cherry tree that had to be removed in order to repair my roof in 2020. I rough turned it on the US Independence Day weekend in 2020 and am sharing the finished bowl with the world on the Independance Day weekend 2021, so this is my Independence Bowl.
I finished the outside with wipe on polyurethane and carnauba wax while I only waxed the inside to keep it food safe.

I can smell it from here! Wonderful.

[@RobBrandtWoodturning]

It has darkened nicely and does smell great.

[@tommycantrell8519]

Very nice bowl. That green cherry turns like butter, however dry turning it get a lot harder. You make both look easy, sweet video 👍

[@RobBrandtWoodturning]

Hi Tommy, thanks for watching, and for the 1st comment :). I really enjoy turning cherry, which is good as I have a half a tree to process from last year. You are right, once the cherry dries it is really tough. Keep well, Rob

[@radarthewoodturner8912]

[@RobBrandtWoodturning]

Thank you RC and welcome. I am finishing a Red oak bowl right now. Keep well, Rob

[@RickTurnsWoodturning]

Wow, a whole year to turn a bowl! Now I don’t feel bad about taking a couple of weeks to do a bowl. 😁🤣 The bowl turned out beautiful - I’ve always liked cherry.

[@RobBrandtWoodturning]

Thanks Rick, I haven't gotten round to makeing a drying/dehydrating box like yours. I am glad I found the footage from 2020. Keep well, Rob

[@PotgieterWoodturning]

@RickTurns i have a rough turned bowl drying from March, i’m on my way to waiting that long for it to dry too.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Really nice bowl, Rob!

[@RobBrandtWoodturning]

Thanks Billy, appreciate you watching.

[@RayWhitbyCreations]

This is gorgeous Rob. I fear, however, that it will hold too many salad leaves and not enough cheeseburgers! Great turn. All the best. Ray

[@RobBrandtWoodturning]

Thank you Ray. When I try to mix the salad, was going to say toss but that might give some the wrong impression, some always ends up on the table, so I made the bowl big :)

[@denisvienat849]

Magnifique jolie plat bravo 👍👏

Absolutely Stunning. Love the grain in your piece. Just gorgeous!

[@RobBrandtWoodturning]

Thank you Carl, I have the sister piece from the opposite side of the trunk to that I still have to turn. Thanks for watching and commenting. Keep well, Rob

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Rob, That is just beautiful. As the saying goes "Good thing come to those who wait". I would definitely call a year waiting. Great video rob and stunning grain on the Cherry. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw

[@RobBrandtWoodturning]

Thank you Huw, now I just have to have the courage to put some salad in it.😬

[@BrickhouseCraftWorks]

Great work Rob! This turned out beautifully! And great job on keeping that piece from cracking while drying! It is truly magnificent! Well done!

[@RobBrandtWoodturning]

Thank you, a little CA early in the crack formation helps. Keep well, Rob

[@billkeogh1591]

Hello Rob: I have some cherry logs cut last summer. They have been covered outdoors (In Ontario, Canada) ever since. Do I still need to rough turn and then let it sit for a year before finishing it? Thank you for the video.

[@RobBrandtWoodturning]

Hi Bill, i think that any bowls you turn will still warp as they dry further, it is difficult for the moisture deap inside the log to escape, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. I have another bowl that looks better, in a quirky natural way, less engineered, that moved as it finished drying and that was after rough turning it and leaving it on a shelf for a year. Supposedly it takes a year per inch to dry depending on the humidity. I hope that helps, keep well, Rob

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Nice one Rob! Did you mean to wear the same shirt one year later when finishing the bowl?

[@RobBrandtWoodturning]

Hi Robert, no, it was pure co-incidence.....I mean yes, I planned it. Keep well, Rob
