Woodturning One Log, Many Bowls

[@TheKingsGarden.]

What a special gift God has given you to make something from His creation. These are simply lovely.

[@stephanieruggles7783]

Absolutely gorgeous. I love your working with mother nature and taking what she has to offer. And I also like it very much when youtubers network and support each other. Good to see in these special times. Thx.

[@ianc1097]

One of the best videos I’ve seen. No awful music. No “look at how good I am”. Just pure skill and craftsmanship with beautiful products at the end. An absolute pleasure to watch. I can only hope that I’ll be turning this well eventually.

[@fatimasipen8191]

You are not only highly skilled, but also a man of big heart. Thank you.

[@DavidAdamsen]

Rod, Thank you for the shout out and for showing my stuff! Great video! I think my favorite of the four is the second one with the void and the bark on the side! Very unique! Cheers and have a great holiday!

[@RHumphrey]

My pleasure, David! Keep making greatness!

[@Tony_Tyson]

Not bad for one log at all! I very much appreciate that, when someone sends you a piece of wood, you take your time and study it before deciding how you can best put it to use.. so you can make as many beautiful and useful things out of it as possible. That level of thoughtfulness, the understanding of and respect for the raw materials that nature provides to me seems like a rare thing in today's world!

[@gregheffner1896]

Outstanding work my friend! Once again, I am in complete awe. There's a very special place in my heart for ambrosia silver maple. It's right up there with spalted birch. One day I will get my hands on some spalted ambrosia! Take good care, Mr. Humphrey.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@RuthlynWills]

Wow, really beautiful 🤩... I especially love the one with all the holes and crack, it's so full of character!! The grain is absolutely gorgeous and... wow, thanks for sharing

[@KimTippin]

Thank you so much for the sticker, brother! I have watched you turn for a while before I even started turning. I am so thankful for the time and awesome talent you share with us. Your service to our country and to the woodturng community is greatly appreciated! God bless, Rod! 🤗🤗

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks so much, Kim! That means a great deal to me. God bless you as well, sister!

[@AdamTheEvangelist24]

What a wonderful surprise with the live edge bowls. Such a fantastic example of the art being just as important, if not more than the utility. I love how you were able to make so many different pieces out of one round. Praise God for the gifts that keep on giving. Bless you 😇🙏 and thank you for sharing.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, Adam! Much appreciated

[@josie1899]

Another awesome job................getting the most of what you have to work with is quite an accomplishment. Thanks for another lesson, Semper Fi

[@courtneykachur9487]

I love how you paid homage to the wood by using so much of it. Great.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@jilldavies7094]

Four beautiful bowls---but my absolute favourite has to be the little candy dish. So pretty. And the breakage on the edge only adds to its charm---as well as reminds us this is living wood. Thank you, as always, Rod. Your videos absolutely make my Fridays.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, Jill! Cheers!

[@uniqko]

One log,many beautiful log.... Thanks for sharing....🙏

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks so much!

[@AlexaMGrimes]

What a stunning piece of wood and such masterful use of it! Beautiful work Rod.

[@michaelpalmer8632]

Excellent work ,watching your videos is very inspiring to newbies like me. Thankyou for making them.

[@chaoticconjuring]

All four of those bowls turned out absolutely beautiful! You really brought out the natural beauty of the wood in all four of them. Thank you so much for sharing this 💜

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@raymondinkpen1593]

Very cool outcome. Love the colours and gives me some hints about how to deal with some offcuts I have.

[@rickharem5788]

I like them all! I really enjoy squeezing every bit of potential I can put of every lot as you do. Lately it has been gleaning maple stumps after the caller was long gone. Great stuff free!

[@mikegaulitz4223]

Those are beautiful bowls. Ambrosia maple is such a gorgeous wood. Good job getting the most out of that piece of wood. As always great job and thanks so much for sharing

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, Mike! 😊

[@helenburke9507]

Wow. Just magnificent. I love wood and I see so do you . It shows in everything you make. Mother Nature graces us in so many ways. Thank you

[@clydebalcom8252]

Such a wonderful start to Valentine's day. Outstanding work, and four bowls in one video! They're beautiful. Happy Valentine's day to you and your family. Semper Fidelis, Brother.

[@RHumphrey]

Oo-Rah! Thank you, brother!

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Oooo, a green wood turn. Always lots of fun.

So much fun! Thank you!

[@jenniferlawrence8533]

Not a wood worker myself..but look forward to seeing what you create..love every bowl you created today..waiting for more😊

[@MrAmps]

Super turning once again. Love watching you videos in relation to the skill and technique.

[@martinfovargue2999]

Looking great. Always a pleasure watching.

[@rexb6478]

Beautiful work, Thank you for showing your techniques and helping us beginners how to do it and what we can accomplish!

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much! 😊

[@dennistaylor7655]

Those are some very nice looking bowls! I would have never thought that four bowls were living inside the log -- well done!

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks so much!

[@jerrycoleman2610]

Rod, Awesome.!. Sweet.!.!. Bowls.!.!.!. Thanks so much for sharing.!.!.!.

[@emmettjordan7921]

Smart turning Rod using all the wood to make those bowls. Love your work they are beautiful!!!! Please keep up the good work love watching your videos. Been watching you for quite sometime now!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you Emmett, I sure appreciate your compliment and your viewership!

[@jarmstrong2843]

I just viewed this video. It's one I apparently missed a while back. Outstanding, Rod!!! I like the simplicity of the bowls and showing me that green wood is OK to turn. I have lots of green birch and pecan. Oorah!!!! Keep those wood shavings fllying!!!!!! Semper Fi

[@natturefrk]

I like your commentary. You have a very soothing voice. Plus it's fun hearing your thought process(es)

[@litmusist]

You are truly good and skillful. Love watching how you get the bowls done from raw. I am beginning to get interested in this hobby. Thank you for sharing.

[@lauragranado7048]

I just love the little bowls!

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks so much!

[@sherryeblack7180]

Beautiful work as always!!! We wouldn't expect any less, no matter what kind of wood you get your hands on it turns into a work of art.

[@RHumphrey]

Much appreciated!

[@johngriffiths4874]

My second time watching, great design and technique. Beautiful pieces. We have a huge silver maple in our yard which needs a limb removed, when that happens I have been inspired to make things out of it Thanks for doing this and for your service.

[@ThePapa1947]

Very nice Rod and a great use of the whole log. Take care, Gary

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks Gary! I use a totally different part of a tree in tomorrow's video... 😊

[@Coyote48]

All of your work is beyond beautiful

[@johnfrye8452]

You sure maximized the wood. Very nice unusual colored bowls. You brought out the best in the wood.

[@RHumphrey]

Much appreciated!

[@anycaliber9086]

Absolutely great to see you and all the bowls were beautiful I think the live edge was spot on perfect for me. there's just something about a live edge bowl that's very attractive to me. Thank you Rod for just being you your amazing. May God continue to bless you and yours with much LOVE. SEMPER FI

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, my friend. Same to you and Semper Fi

[@alansimpson596]

True artistry Rod by making such beautiful bowls out of a section of log. It's great and reassuring seeing the work of other turners - the craft is alive and well. Semper Fi. P.S. I didn't want to mention this before but at PI I broke the record for "The Crucible" - 4 hours and 3 minutes:-).

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you my friend! It is alive and well indeed, and that makes me happy too. Setting the record for the Crucible must mean you took off for the swamp and were dodging gators! Glad you made it out in one piece, LOL 🐊😂

[@ellenyager9577]

Absolutely beautiful! All of them! Gorgeous! As for your “soup cooler”, have you ever considered doing voice overs, narrations, emceeing, and the like? I love your speaking voice. Semper Fi!

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, Ellen! I've thought about maybe reading some old stuff, public domain type, in videos... but never really thought about anything like you've mentioned. Not sure where I'd begin with that, really. You're very kind! Semper Fi

[@sandragutierrez3667]

Can't pick just one. They are all amazing looking! Awesome bowls. Keep up your wonderful work, Mr. Humphrey.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks so much!

[@LivingstonBrothersWoodcraft]

Rod, these are awesome! Well done. And, thank you for the mention!

[@bygmalerfirma5789]

You are a true maestro with your turning tools. Beautiful work.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[@kentturkow1572]

Terrific looking bowls and great use of the wood. You are a talented turner. Thank for sharing.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[@cmcconn100]

Those are some beautiful bowls. Nice job getting that many pieces out of one round.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@drew.silverotter]

Once again outstanding art! Awesomeness personified!

[@allysonhean4204]

I do adore your live edge work...and that cute little candy bowl! 💓

[@carolynstreet5325]

Beautiful job on all of the bowls. Thank you for sharing.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@gavincoyle]

4 fantastic bowls Rod! Each and every one has their own characteristics and so beautiful absolutely love them gorgeous colours and grain 👍👍👍

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@tracywilliams4907]

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your videos.

[@bobcade1002]

Nice! I alway feel better after watching you make something on the lathe. One log, four bowls and a pile of shavings, very impressive. Thanks for sharing.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, I appreciate that!😊

[@mikesmiles1158]

you really have a knack for finding the beauty in wood, very relaxing watching you work sir.

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

The wood grain is so awesome and your bowls are fantastic as usual.

[@leefrenchfry]

They're beautiful! I especially love the second bowl and the live edge bowl.

[@thezarco]

That second one with the bark inclusions is just beautiful. I love all the character it has! Excellent work!

[@jamesharless5357]

Wow, all four pieces are beautiful, great video, and great job!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@jamesryan5181]

Haha. "Soup cooler" that's a new one for me. Thanks for the chuckle and the amazing craftsmanship.

[@Napalmgas]

Silver Maple that grain looks amazing Rod! Great work, keep on turning. Ou Rah!!! Gary

[@jt-eb4sp]

This was both an informative and enjoyable video. It was interesting and the only sound was you talking, which was so refreshing. No music. Nice. Keep up the interesting videos

[@carolriley8472]

Great use of one log...the bowls are really quite lovely!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@wardausman2795]

Real nice consistent family of bowls. Love your strong, confident approach to your work. You are such a pleasure to watch!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, Ward, I appreciate that!

[@elfowl6873]

Absolutely beautiful, Rod!!!! MASTER WOODTURNER.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@jeremyromand]

I was blown away with all the pieces from a single log! They all look great as usual!!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@garryevans3594]

what a unique piece the color change natures beauty revealed. great management of materials

[@brucek6563]

Wow!! Four beautiful bowls from one piece of a log. Impressive work! I recently subscribed to your channel and I'm in awe of your talent!!! Turning wood is something I would love to learn! Looking forward to more of your videos. Semper Fi!!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much, and welcome to my channel! Semper Fi 😊

[@philvinci9740]

Beautiful. I enjoy watching your mastery of the bowl gouge.

[@jamescahood]

Great job on all of the bowls! They look great! Keep up the great videos. Semper Fi!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you and Semper Fi!

[@lyn1991]

These bowls are beautiful! It’s amazing what can be made from a cut of wood!

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks so much!

[@jonperley7304]

Great work and AWESOME peices!!!👍

[@wardausman2795]

Interesting concept to me . . . because they came from the same log, they appear to be a set, not just 4 different bowls. Love to see you do that again sometime. Though, I realize that is a lot of work. Also, I love how patient you are with your work. Kinda amazing.

[@RHumphrey]

Much appreciated!

[@htxvandal5760]

Amazing work...and I also appreciate your narration. It sets you apart from others. Keep it up.

[@RHumphrey]

Much appreciated! (my next video is narration free, but it's a different kind of woodworking too... 😊)

[@wetwillyccma]

Awesome job Rod. Your doing some beautiful work. Love watching your channel. Keep it up.

[@RHumphrey]

Much appreciated!

[@danielwhite7912]

Hay Rod. Love the new lathe!!! And beautiful job on the bowls. Love the creativity with each bowl. ✌️💙

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks brother! Nice to hear from you!

[@danielwhite7912]

R Humphrey. Yeah I have been in a funk lately. I get depressed and had to get myself in the right direction.

[@janicefrancis5045]

It was wonderful how you used so much of the log. So much beauty inside that piece just waiting for you to set it free. Well done.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@bgpappy30]

I love them all rod. Thank you for your time and for a great video.

[@RHumphrey]

Much appreciated!

[@richparker7778]

Beautiful turnings ! Thank you for your service. Much appreciated.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@francisseth28]

They are absolutely beautiful and very well done/polished. Greetings from the Philippines. 🇵🇭 😍

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@waynemolnar8013]

Great job utilizing the log. They all came out great. Very generous of them to gift that great ambrosia maple. I’ve been turning very dry padauk and guanacaste lately. I miss those long green shavings! Again thank you for the early video to go with my coffee 👍

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you! I love both those species too. ☕

[@gradymcnutt2247]

Beautiful wood grain = beautiful bowls. Your talent never ceases to amaze me.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@abbyd323]

Absolutely beautiful! All of them

[@ItsKiraLyn]

These are beautiful! I’ve never heard the phrase “soup cooler” but it made me giggle so much I shared your channel with my boyfriend! I’ll also be sharing your channel with my dad... a fellow Devil Dog! I have a feeling he would enjoy watching your videos while my mum is in the hospital! Take care sir! Thanks for sharing your art! ✌🏼💚

[@unclemoe5733]

That Ambrosia has splendid character. At 13:17 you show the bowl flipped over with out revealing how it was mounted. I'm guessing you have a vacuum chuck for your new lathe? They are sweet!

[@RHumphrey]

It was the wide jaw set for the stronghold chuck... for got to turn on the camera fro that part, lol. I've been looking at vacuum chucks though, will probably get one eventually.

[@pietersleght8235]

Superb & gorgeous! and they are all so different to come from the same chuck of wood.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much! 😊

[@teresagraser386]

Wow, all four turned out great.

[@jimzehner8122]

You had a great idea and very nice bowls from the one log

[@dianeleeoshea]

Just beautiful, you have such an eye for this. Great video. Inspiring too. We'd try our hand at it if we weren't so old!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you so much!

[@NehpetsNosliw]

Absolutely gorgeous bowls!!!!

[@oneshotme]

Beautiful bowls Rod!!! Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up

[@Bamaman14k]

All beautiful pieces Rod. The first one turned out absolutely magnificent, if I had to pick a favorite. I was a jeweler most of my life, that is when I was not in the sandbox. And I liken this log to a diamond in an experienced cutters hands. You studied, and got the maximum yield from this one piece. I am very impressed. Good job, Jimmy

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you Jimmy, I love that comparison!

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

You really maximized that log! Great job Rod

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, brother!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Love to see the full use of the log, Rod. And, you got four pretty, useful pieces! Very cool! Phil

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, Phil!

[@jamiegoolsby6292]

Beautiful pieces. Love the colors in the wood. Semper Fi!

[@BobGroverthednachristian]

Awesome looking bowls! Quite the yield from one chunk of wood. Love the grain and colorization on them. Great stuff!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@connietai9126]

Woooow these beauties are simply beautiful.You are the best I love your crafts.🤗🤗❤❤🙏🙏

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks so much, Connie!

[@MEGQuilts]

Those are all gorgeous! The shape of the second one and the live edge on the third really speak to me somehow, though the others have lovely contrast in figure and a bright openness. Excellent work!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@russelldavis6159]

patricia here... what wonderful grains in the wood!!! beautious bowls!!!!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@T_B]

"soup cooler"...🤣 That's a 1st for me. Man... I love your videos.... Sir.
