Woodturning - Flame Box Elder Bowl

[@sakaj]

Nice bowl fantastic job

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you very much!

[@gregheffner1896]

I thoroughly enjoy your work. This piece is outstanding. I've long been a fan of box elder. The spalting is such a nice bonus. I would love to find some flame box elder burl. Think about that for a minute. Also, I have to comment on your kiln. The fact that you up cycled an old refrigerator is awesome! I have built a couple of food dehydrators the same way. I also built a seed sprouting box(not from a refrigerator) to start all my garden vegetable seed each year. It works great. I call it The Contraption. Let's face it, equipment and such is just too expensive. All it takes is a little thought and ingenuity. Okay, I'm done rambling on. Please keep up the fine work and take care

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate the support! 👍

4th like, Todd. I love that bowl. You mentioned ‘flame’. I’ve just used a stain called flame on the outside of a bowl. At least my granddaughter liked it 🌞

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thanks so much my friend ✌️

[@gbjones54]

Beautiful piece, I’m sure she will love it.

[@dukaheritage9445]

[@jacobcremins1676]

The color in that is unbelievable! Nice to see you are still using that old converted fridge for a kiln. 👍

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you my friend and yes the kiln still works great 👍

[@lakeshorewoodturner5136]

Lucky you to have a friend to give you such beautiful wood and lucky friend to have you to turn it into a keepsake bowl to cherish!

[@DiamondDustAndVerdigris]

Wow!

[@dmw1306]

It's just incredible to look at the Grains! And the Streaks of Beautiful colors I've been looking forward for the time I finally find that Piece ❤ I'm working Spauted Maple Burl Epoxy Bowls to keep up my Skills 😁

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you for the kind words, I’m glad you like the grain! Maple Burl is some of my favorite 😍

[@drferry]

Beautiful work, and a gorgeous piece of wood! Maybe I would have used a lighter color filler for the knothole and the bug holes.

[@dukaheritage9445]

I can relate, I do often like to emphasize the flaws though 🙂

[@Jimmysden]

beautiful piece mate. how's the family, miss your wife's and daughter updates. so good having your videos back for something to look forward to.

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you my friend

[@trurex007lee7]

Very nice job. Box Elder looks great but seems to go punky really quickly.

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you, and yes most pieces of box elder that I’ve worked with have some punkyness to them

[@jeanlong4285]

What a beautiful bowl from the flaming box elder. The grain and the spalting is amazing. Great job my friend. I love that you always say love you at the end of your video.

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@Lee-qp6gf]

Beautiful turn, Bro. I turn green to finish quite often. thanks for your time, Lee

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thanks 👍

[@82airborne52]

Awesome outcome!

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thanks my friend ✌️

[@JamesSmith-ji6yx]

Beautiful piece. So glad to see you are back online. I have missed your ability to combine your physical talents with your design talents.

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you so much!

[@lancestancliffe4885]

You just earned my subscription mate, loved the video, got to watch it again with my sound on though lol 😊

[@dukaheritage9445]

Awesome, thank you!

[@SMcCaskill]

Rule #1 dry your wood before turning it. That way you don't have to worry about it cracking after you turn it. Rule #2 remove all the bark so it doesn't rot off later.

[@perrys5954]

I am still learning so take my comment for what it's worth. It's been my experience (limited as it may be) that turning green wood is much more of a pleasant experience than dry wood (easier to cut.. less dust...) Also, isn't a 'twice-turned' bowl much faster overall since removing all that material will really speed up the drying time and make the drying more even since end-grain area dries faster than cross-grain and thick stuff much much slower... I can't recall the statistic but something like natural drying is 1" per year or something. So a rough turned bowl drying in a kiln in like a week or two is a greatly sped up process :p I recently excitedly got a hold of what looks to be flame box elder and am daunted at the possibility of having to wait many months/years to dry it.. just my humble thoughts/reaction to your comment but genuinely please feel free to correct me where I am wrong! :)

[@chrisjohnston2449]

Love the flame. Too bad you were not able to core that piece. Nesting bowls like that are hard to find.

[@dukaheritage9445]

Hopefully I can pick up a bowl saver soon, I have a lot of big burls that I’d hate to waste.

[@lesleyyoung5730]

Beautiful!

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you!

[@BadAppleWoodwerx]

Beautiful! 😎

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you! 😊

[@mrb1060]

Another great job.

[@dukaheritage9445]

I appreciate that, thank you ✌️

[@margaretdavis5695]

Gorgeous! I don't think I've ever seen this wood grain before, and was really surprised at how colorful it was. I really enjoyed watching those colors being revealed as you applied the finishes. I also like that you leave a little "touch" of the outer tree layer in the piece - that adds interest, and I'm glad you mentioned it.

[@outinthesticks1035]

The color is caused by a fungus , and when it dies the colors fade . I have not heard of any way to keep it

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you very much!

[@wesleyhanna1124]

Very well done! Beautiful bowl. Wes @ Piedra Designs

[@dukaheritage9445]

Looks really good!

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you ✌️

[@dannylee9138]

Save those long shavings and put them in some resin and make a plate and cup to go with the bowl

[@dukaheritage9445]

That’s a really great idea actually, would be cool to make a smaller place setting set like that from a larger serving bowl!! Thank you 😊

[@STMwoodturning]

Looks great!

[@dukaheritage9445]

Nice piece! I haven’t seen your videos in a while. Looks like a new lathe in the shop?

[@dukaheritage9445]

Yes my friend much has changed, new lathe, new shop.

[@juliosousa3180]

Simplement superbe. C'est toujours agréable de voir tes réalisations. Dommage que je comprends pas l'anglais......

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you my friend

[@rickchapman3051]

At some point when you're ready a little explanation of what happened or where you have been would be appropriate. Thee bowl is amazing. But I stop short if patrion as it feels like you are moments away from amazing things.

[@cherylsmith900]

That turned out really nice?

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Jester62D]

What part of the country did this log come from ? I have access to western US Box Elder but I've never seen this type. Stunning !

[@outinthesticks1035]

I think it's not so much the part of the country, as it is the growing conditions. The red is a fungus infection, the black lines are same but a different fungus . Red is in living wood, black is on the edge of dead wood where it's starting to decompose. I think it's much more common in damp locations. I have cut trees on stream banks that all had the red pattern and trees from field shelter belts that had none . The red will turn grey with time , I've seen comments from people who have tried lots of ways to keep it but nothing worked . I have found that one side of the black lines will be very soft and tear out and uneven sanding is a problem. I have a lot cut and stored , just waiting till I can afford a vacuum stabilizing system

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you 😊 This is from eastern pa.

[@rosatamascoo]

Nice video!! Very engaging from the begining to the End. To obtain financial freedom, one must either be a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income, particularly on a monthly basis.

[@magdafariass]

I agree with you and believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don't know who agree with me but either a way I recommend real estate or crypto and stock.

[@helenuobenitaz]

Crypto is bringing a different revolution in the world economy, people who are optimistic investors earn consistently. others will just sit and watch!.

[@rebeccalonghurst]

How can someone know a professional account manager that is trustworthy when legit once are hard to find this days. Because my portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading, I just don't know what I do wrong!

[@ericawesterdale]

Yes I'm also a living testimony of expert Mrs Jane. Mrs Jane has changed my financial status for the best all thanks to my aunty who introduced her to me

[@jacobhilll]

Accessing good information is what we investors need to progress financially and generally in life. This is a good one and I appreciate it.

[@angiehall6814]

Awesome!
