WoodTurning - Log to Natural Edge Walnut Bowl

#Woodturning #Woodart #4k #MakersGonnaMake
A simple natural edge Walnut bowl. This was turned green and dried in the microwave; finished with 3 coats of danish oil.
I filmed and edited this one slightly differently to my previous videos with no music and talking.
Thanks for watching!

As a potter for over 45 years I was always a fan of wooden bowls, 1970 shop class. Appreciate the beauty.

[@user-wb3rs3op2p]

Stunningly beautiful.

[@paulr5027]

Omg! I learned more in 3 minutes in watching your video for figuring out end grain log turning than some half hour videos with taking/ cutting pieces off etc .... Thank you!!!

[@jeanmixon5401]

Absolutely beautiful! Love the big knot design. ❤❤❤

[@johnsherlock1920]

Thank you. 👌🏻

[@dmaschy599]

I like it,nice piece.

[@johnsherlock1920]

Thank you. 👌🏻

[@JamesCouch777]

We just had two giant walnut trees blow down so I have a lot of walnut on hand. Great job on the piece 👌

[@johnsherlock1920]

Cheers James, that's a lot of wood. Not a all jealous... 🤔. just watch the acidity in the wood, I've a feeling it can rust your lathe bed quickly if you turn it green.

[@im4dabirds]

wow! great project, lotsa learning

[@SilverBack.]

Great piece 👍👍👍👍

Beautiful

[@johnsherlock1920]

🙏🏻

[@ricktablelander5043]

nice piece and so thin!! WOW if I tried that it probably would fly apart

[@johnsherlock1920]

That has also happened when I've forgotten to stop and check the depth / width

[@William_Kenny]

Great job John just found your channel subd and 👍.

[@centroanzianimaglianosabin4087]

Incredibile un capolavoro

[@johnsherlock1920]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@robertpacini3693]

I feel as though the two dark heartwood “eyes” are a distraction to the overall form. They make your eye focus on that area versus enjoy the entire form. Nice job of getting the piece to. a thicknesses that will reduce the chances for cracking at the pith.

[@johnsherlock1920]

Cheers Robert. I agree the heartwood helps distract from the unusual form. Thanks for your comments 👍🏻

[@dr.skipkazarian5556]

Beautiful bowl in every way....almost a translucent effect on the wall. That lathe looks strong enough to turn a Mack truck! Over the weekend, Kent of "Turnabowl" posted a great video on demoisturizing using a microwave....it looks like you used the same methods re: measuring changes in weight, size, and shape. Best wishes from Kauai and stay healthy.

[@johnsherlock1920]

Thanks for the comments. I've started follow Kent ( as I have seen so much on his website). Already a great resource of videos. The lathe is a decent size!.thanks and take care. John

[@DennisDolan-fl3mw]

when starting, do you have a ratio of thickness to width to determine shape and size?

[@rickcollins4762]

By the curls coming off while turning and the fact that you microwaved the piece it was a green wood. You kept the pith so why did you not get cracking on both sides where the pith is. If I do end grain my projects always want to crack?

[@johnsherlock1920]

Hard to say; the microwaveing takes a lot of moisture out so it's more stable. So many factors with wood and where you are, though (species, humidity, wood structure etc). Thanks for the comment.

[@lukeschrade4904]

It’s a beautiful piece either way but are you sure this is walnut?? I’ve worked with lots of walnut and lots of maple. And this looks much more like maple to me.

[@johnsherlock1920]

Cheers Luke, that 's what my tree surgeon friend told me who had to cut it down! Thanks for the comment.

[@davidsoudek]

Walnut looks much different where I’m from. Not just the sapwood and heartwood but the bark is very rough. This looks like some other type of nut tree… to me it actually looks more like sweet gum

[@kenhardin426]

Fairly new to turning...may I ask what kind of spur(?) was in the tail stock? Thanks!

[@johnsherlock1920]

Hi Ken. the brand is Axminister it came with my lathe, i think it's a cone/spur drive that you can remove the cone on to use as a ring center.

[@user-lc5oq2sw5s]

Круто

[@johnsherlock1920]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@laurencew5220]

What does microwaving the bowl do

[@johnsherlock1920]

It dries it quicker to reduce the water content rather than waiting a few weeks or months.

[@epcable]

What bowl gouge is that? Who makes it?

[@johnsherlock1920]

It's an Axminster 1/2 (uk measurements) , but made by Crown. M2 steel nothing special 👍🏻

[@jaymyers7900]

Question if I may, as I started "nuking" rough bowls myself, are you getting any cracks or warpage? And how long are you microwaving them for? Thanks!

[@user-ii2zm7fc4d]

Сколько процентов воды вы испаряет из готового изделия?

[@ionutbrezeanu7310]

Cu ce le dați să nu crape

[@johnsherlock1920]

I didnt give this anything for cracking. It can be ok if it's thin and dried in the microwave like this; depends in the moisture content , species of wood etc

[@dondeere]

no talk i walk

[@PreppyBuilds]

hi

[@dalezedo5937]

That looks suspiciously a lot like maple not walnut.

[@johnsherlock1920]

Not turned maple before to be honest. I got it from a tree surgeon friend 👍🏻

[@Huizbirn]

No, ist walnut...

[@randythomas6874]

Walnut branch with thick sap wood.
