Woodturning Natural Edge Without Bark With Nasty Katalox

[@grahammeddings8357]

There is nothing better than watching a craftsman with his tools, brilliant.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir

[@JodineThogmartin]

An extraordinarily beautiful bowl. And as always your explanation and demonstration is top class. I’ve only just started turning and I think it’s about time I express my gratitude to you for your incredibly concise and informative teaching method…watching your videos has improved my technique and understanding so much so that I now feel confident I’ll be able to become a competent turner. Thank you so much 🙏😊

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

That is the point of this videos and I'm honored to be able to help out

[@johnnyb95678]

Beautiful bowl out of a very hard wood. Nicely done! Thank you for the great instruction and tips and tricks on turning.

[@charlesnichols1215]

Great technique. Thanks for opening up your bag of woodturning magic and sharing how you work with what you have & then kick it up another notch or two.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

No worries, thank you for watching

[@racheldray1057]

I love the way you got that edge looking so natural. Brilliant

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks Rachel

[@brycegenevaostler9359]

Thanks for sharing your talent. Very nice bowl.

[@paulplager9498]

Beautiful work Tomi. Love the wood.

[@richardwhisler5593]

I really like the shape of this bowl. Also the wall thickness appears to allow some light through the sapwood. This makes the bowl shimmer in the light which enhances the shape of the bowl! Well done, sir!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Richard

[@jayscott306]

That is exquisite, Tomislav. I really admire smaller work, especially when the wood speaks for itself. It was also nice to watch you deal with some harder timber very effectively.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks Jason

[@borisfurlan9792]

Nice one! You still showing that the possibilities are infinite. Very inspiring, beyond the technique! Cheers!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you buddy

[@jamesstrathy2178]

You tamed that piece of wood. Nice bowl and great video!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Beautiful little bowl.

[@MarklTucson]

Beautiful bowl. I really like how you used the sapwood. The dust looked positively awful but the finish coming off the tool -- the shine was amazing

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you buddy

[@stevenhansen8641]

🕶very nice Tomislav. Thanks for the time and effort.

[@claudepotter7763]

Looks great for a pc of small wood very cool love colors

[@geraldsimon3268]

Love your work

[@OldMtnGeezer]

Beautiful little piece, Tomislav. Well done! 👍

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks 😃

[@Bunk599]

Beautiful. I am always amazed by the numerous small and precise adjustments you make to the tool rest position. Maybe one day a video explaining your thought process for these fine adjustments?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

That is good suggestion, thank you

[@geraldsimon3268]

Looks like the perfect coffee cup.

[@cobberpete1]

What a pleasant surprise. We have an Acacia tree here ( West Australia), that has White sap wood and chocolate brown heart wood. Like yours very hard but polishes very beautifully. I will have to try your trick of using the sap wood like a natural edge bowl.

[@bretteee]

Great work has always lovely piece.

[@vivianmorrow8828]

Just lovely. Thank you!

[@gregdownunderinOz]

What a great looking bowl. Neat trick tommi. I have done a similar bowl with sandalwood, the top rim broke so I darkened edge with stain, left it a little rough. Wife loves it

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Awsome idea you had, thank you very much for watching

[@michaelogden5958]

The finished bowl has a remarkable resemblance to mesquite. Mesquite is also quite dense and has yellow sapwood. It finishes beautifully - like your Katalox. Cheers!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

We don't have mesquite but one day I'll try it as well

[@philstevens9914]

Nice work. I'm a woodworker tat owns a wood lathe and have not got around to using it yet. Too many other projects involving the other machines. Wood turning is a unique skill. Some very talented woodworkers can't turn to save their life. I hope I don't suck at it once I get around to using my lathe.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I'm from same background, I would say it gives us advantage as we understand wood better, but it is specific trade ans it takes time and practice to be proficient at it Thank you very much

[@AlienLeader4]

Awesome little piece. Thanks for sharing that technique. Keep up the amazing work. 👽

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you

[@DavidBird-uu8km]

Very nice, I learn a lot from this video. thanks.

[@DavidBockel]

very creative!

[@jeffjames1567]

Pretty bowl, Tomislav.

[@susanmahler428]

so beautiful!

[@DustanBadovick]

great work !!

[@BrianLemieux-f2b]

Awesome! As usual

[@jorisdemoel3821]

Beautiful work. Shaped edge might be a better name, but it does look quite natural. Many tips and tricks, as always, and always a pleasure to watch your mastery of your art and craft.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much

[@Jon77Levy]

Unnatural-edged bowl... :)

[@turningwiththewoods]

Super nice.

[@davidbales8053]

Amazing how you can take such a small piece of wood, and create a sculptural object that actually seems bigger than what you started with!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Turners are special kind of craftsmen😄

[@boooshes]

Real nice sir

[@jimgeelan5949]

Beautiful little bowl 😊, try telling anyone how much work goes into something so simple looking, also it sound like you have people in your area who like to let everyone else know what their car sounds like 😮

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

A lot of people , most are home made exhaust and not nice like on some nice sport cars, its life so😁

[@alandisomma-od5fz]

I have a bit of wood that looks like yours. Here in Arizona it is called Texas Ebony it is very dense and heavy. Not necessarily too hard but you need to keep your tools sharp. Looks great when polished.

[@0BAMiiN]

Hi Tomislav, that bowl turned out really nice! While you were using the bowl scraper I thought "What profile does it actually have?". Could you upload a top view photo or something of your refiner and the bowl scraper so that we can replicate the profile you have? That would be greatly appreciated 🤗 Thanks for the video and greetings!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Hi, I have several videos on scrapers,you'll see them in workshop playlist or tehniques

[@markduggan3451]

That was a beautiful bowl, I may have missed it, but what wood is it?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Its katalox

[@RayApodaca-DacaTimberworks]

Beautiful little bowl Tommi, can never go wrong with walnut. Bonus, you don't have to worry about keeping the bark on!😅

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks Ray, its accually katalox, way thougher then anything else I've turn

[@RayApodaca-DacaTimberworks]

@tomislavtomasicwoodturning oh wow man, that looks exactly like our black walnut here in Michigan right down to the sapwood. Very cool I'll have to look that up!

[@LuannYoumans-ec5fc]

It's a gorgeous little bowl. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@foreverturningpeterkipfer5468]

I've been following you for some time now and have taken a lot from your videos and enjoy them very much. What type of oil do /did you use and I assume it's food safe? Thanks

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Yes it's food safe ,its steinert woodturning oil

[@RobertSchoenert]

What kind of oil is that? Danish Oil?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

No,its Steinert woodturning oil,its mix of natural oils with waxes

[@marcdehaes]

Nice finish, just wondering if the oil you are using is a food safe one? I just filtered some fresh beeswax last week, that I'm using on the bowls. Can you tell me if this is enough or should I first use an oil and if so what would be the food safe oil to use? Thanks in advance Tomislav. Love your videos by the way.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I use steinert woodturning oil which is linseed and wax , wax on it self is not protective but its nice warm soft finish which I also like ....

[@marcdehaes]

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thanks again Tomislav for Clarifying.

[@mtnbiker310]

It looks great, nice color, grain, and finish, but I don't know that I would call it a natural (or live) edge. (Ha ha, at the end you call it 'man-made natural edge. That's cheating, but it cracks me up.)

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Well ,sometimes is necessary to be able to do something special with plain piece of wood

[@Honeybees2805]

What is it worth ....how much money can you get for it

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Well not much more then usual bowl but its different

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Never did get to meet the chick from your title, Nasty Katalox.

[@yourocky111]

NO
