Woodturning - Dragon Bowl from End Grain Black Walnut

Huge American black walnut log turned into an end grain dragon bowl. The final piece reminded my wife to a dragon egg and skin of the dragon therefore the name of this project. Used my one-way easy coring system to produce two bowls out of this log. Due to end grain turning that made it a little harder so tried to be passioned to allowed the cutter to do its job. To add extra features, I added some wave effect to both to the top and bottom. Finished with boiled linseed oil hope you enjoy this woodturning project 😊

is there any way you can make a video on how to make or get that jig of yours

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thanks you 😀 Yes it is a great investment. So nice to see you can make more out of the wood

[@OkayImLisa]

I agree with you.....and I'm wondering about all the tools I've never imagined but might be on someone's wish list. Conclusion: it will be fun to see what's next.

[@curtiswhitfield9045]

where can i get that tool ?

[@chaoticconjuring]

The wood grain on that piece is very beautiful. I’m glad you left it alone and let it shine for itself. Very well done!

Thank you so much 😀

*Man That Linseed oil just makes it jump right out...my FAVORITE (but expensive) wood.*

[@marclytle644]

Wow, that is beautiful. Always loved seeing wood furniture. Take a nice stain that brings out the grain of the wood, just love that natural look. It saddens me to see an old piece of furniture covered in paint. That just hides the beauty. Amazing bowl you made.

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you 😀

[@lucydurham1403]

I love that you scooped out the core! It always makes me a little sad when that gets gouged out, seems like such a waste. The bowl looks great, David!

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 😊 Agree, hate wasting good materials I am glad such coring system is available

[@OOTurok]

Especially when turning exotic wood. Always best to core them out... even cheap wood.

[@cjtheisen5124]

@@DavidsWoodturning Couldn't you make another smaller item from the core?

[@DavidsWoodturning]

[@oskarkirsten3808]

Well done David. I use the Oneway coring tool myself and have made nesting bowls with the inside.core and redone and redone with as many as 5 pieces. Great presentation.

[@prsearls]

That is a remarkable bowl. It shows imagination and skill (and lots of patience) . The wood is very pretty and is sure to get lots of attention.

[@nataliestaheli51602]

Such incredible talent to take a regular looking piece of wood and turn it into a beautiful bowl!

[@Amb3rjack]

A first rate piece David, beautifully done! But I have to say the star of the show is the wood itself. Never seen grain or colour like that before. Completely off the chart in my opinion. Superb!

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you :)

[@eileenjackson7909]

Terry, I agree. I was in awe as this piece was being turned and the grain was revealed.

[@yourdrummer2034]

I have to give props with how you handle a Dremel. I've been a welder for 20 years and of all the tools used to cut and shape material, rotary tools are really difficult to use and not ruin what your working on. 👍

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@judithfairchild8620]

Huh... I've been watching a lot of wood turning lately (it's very relaxing) and not seen that bowl-cutter tool. Certainly saves a LOT of wood compared to just chipping it all away into shavings.

Love black walnut and butternut. Such beautiful wood.

[@aircap]

Gorgeous. Love the coloration in the grain!

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT piece. My personal opinion is with that grain and size, you did not need to scallop top and bottom. Looks more like a crown. I do like your "hollowing" tool, it gives you another piece to work with. Well done! !! !!!

[@DavidsWoodturning]

Yes it a great tool to use to save materials especially when i work on expensive or rate woods
