Woodturning - The Ash Bowl

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

That is such a pleasing shape, Mike! The Ash has some wonderful grain and I love that you left a little nature by way of the bark on the outside. I always enjoy your tool control! Just a great turning! 😃 Phil

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks for your kind words Phil, very much appreciated. Cheers Mike

[@ronbeckhaus7326]

Welcome back Mike, lovely bowl. I tend to try to leave a bit of bark for character when I can, too, especially on a relatively plain wood. Cheers, mate.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Ron I always try to as it seems to give more interest to an otherwise plain piece.

Really nice bowl. I like the character you were able to keep on the outside.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Jean much appreciated.

[@bernardfutter5327]

Attractive shape and superb finish, Mike. Ash can be a lovely wood to turn, and there are so many options for shaping the rim, and adding simple decoration. What I really enjoyed was your presentation, with the right amount of speech and explanation , the detail, and clear illustration. Many thanks. Bernard.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Bernard your kind words are very much appreciated my friend.

[@SuzieSwissWoodturner]

Many thanks Nathan.

[@steverose1]

Beautiful bowl Mike. Thanks for sharing.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks for watching and commenting mate much appreciated.

[@robohippy]

I would have been very nervous turning the inside with all that bark around the recess. I do like ash, but don't get much of it here.

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Reed, I assure you the bark area was very stable mate. Thanks for watching.

[@roystheboy]

Really nice mike i like the shape

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Roy.

[@timbutler3733]

Nice video. I like how smooth you got the ash grain. My ash projects seem to have a rough inner grain

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Tim.

[@smockytubers1188]

I quite like the recurved, just barely hollow shape.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you much appreciated.

[@missteeturns]

Like it. Good to see you back or have I missed any videos?

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks T ... only a couple 🙂

[@uladzimir7868]

Мне было цікава! Дзякую Майк! 👏👏👏👏👏 Прывітанне з Беларусі!

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Uladzimir.

[@glencrandall7051]

A very nice bowl Mike. I do like the bark/natural surface on the outside. As you said it gives the bowl a bit of character. I love the finish. It is especially nice on the outside. Maybe because the light gets to the outside better. Glad to see you again. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe. 🙂🙂 PS Great result from that S.H. 25mm negative rake scraper. Wish they were available here in the US. Or are they?

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Gle your kind words are much more. Unfortunately Simon Hope does not ship to the US ... due to various import impositions the cost is too high and would make items too expensive.

[@Stevepomfrey]

Very nice

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Steve.

[@jamessurrarrer1026]

Great video. Very nice bowl.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks James much appreciated.

[@drandrewclarke]

beautiful. I have a garage full of one year old ash. I've yet to turn one leaving the bark as a feature, my concern being as it dries it will separate

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you, I have found the bark on Ash to be very stable during the drying process. Thanks for watching.

[@drandrewclarke]

@@MikeWaldt cheers for that. Will give it a go

[@les.6343]

Hi Mike thanks for your video like the style and finish. Your tools look very sharp what grit can wheels are you using?.😊

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Les. I have an 80grit for major re shaping, and 180 grit for general sharpening. Thanks for watching.

[@georgeduckworth1157]

Mike do you apply sanding sealer before sanding or during and after? Thanks George

[@MikeWaldt]

After sanding George.

[@Stable_Studio]

Super Little bowl Mike simple design I like it
