Woodturning - The GIGANTIC PecanCrete Bowl

[@clydeschuyler]

I love the shirt. “I wear this shirt periodically” 😂😂 now to finish watching the video.

[@TournageDubois]

LOL!!! Glad you laughed a bit!

[@jimg2247]

And, WOW!!! What a great piece!!! Impressive!!

[@TournageDubois]

Thanks!!!

[@copperowlwoodturning5929]

Yes. Great job, Daniel. Gorgeous live edge bowl. 😊😊

[@TournageDubois]

Thank you, Rob! Definitely was NOT a light piece!

[@williamellis8993]

That was a beast of a project, Daniel, but well worth it. That piece is beautiful. It looks like you'll be turning pecan for a long time to come. Bill

[@TournageDubois]

Thanks, Bill! It was indeed quite a beast. And I still have another huge chunk to get!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Daniel, That is massive and looks amazing. Great work turning it my friend. Take care Daniel. Cheers, Huw

[@TournageDubois]

Thank you, Huw! And congrats on your recent milestone!

[@jeanlong4285]

Love going through the process. The piece turned out great. Love the feathering and the grain. Oh yeah, I love the periodical T-shirt too.

[@TournageDubois]

Thanks, Jean! I appreciate the feedback!

As the once famous 80s rapper said: “I like big bowls and I can not lie…” 🤣😂🤣 Awesome job Double-D, love the giant ones! I am so super jelly of the size of bowl you can turn.

[@TournageDubois]

Thanks, Tim! You always can make me laugh!!!

[@jimg2247]

Hey! Thanks for the shout out!

[@TournageDubois]

No worries, my friend! Always appreciate you!

[@JohnFerraro]

Excellent Each piece has its own challenges, but it’s always worth it. Killer grain.

[@TournageDubois]

Thank you, John! I agree with how unique each piece is!

[@JohnFerraro]

@@TournageDubois it’s funny or coincidental that I’m coming up against a few of the exact same issues with my current project. Unbalanced end grain turning. If it holds together, and I don’t make a lamp shade, I’ll be grinding the bottom of my plate as well. Using Mahoney’s too. Not sure if u have or not, but don’t be afraid to paint the oil on the bark. It works great.

[@TournageDubois]

I certainly will be doing that with my next two coats.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Very nice bowl, Daniel!! Love it!

[@TournageDubois]

Thanks, Billy! It sure beat me up! Glad it was worth the effort!

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Whew! Now that was worth doing!

[@TournageDubois]

Thank you, Valerie! I appreciate that!

[@turningwiththewoods]

Dang that was huge. Nice

[@TournageDubois]

Yeah, it really is, Jonathan! Thanks for the feedback!

[@clydeschuyler]

Wow. That is a wonderful piece. Love crotch pieces and what patterns they produce.

[@TournageDubois]

Thanks, Clyde! They really are amazing!

[@STMwoodturning]

What a beast! I agree that pecan gets really hard when it's dry. I'm finish turning so pecan bowls right now and I'm having to resharpen after just a few passes. However, it is beautiful with an oil finish like you used. Love the feathering in your bowl. Bravo Dan!

[@TournageDubois]

Thank you, Stuart! Hopefully you'll share some pics of your pieces!

[@STMwoodturning]

@@TournageDubois I put up a video showing the roughed out blanks earlier this week. But I will post pictures of the completed bowls… if I remember 🤣

[@SidsRepurposing]

good work man I love it

[@TournageDubois]

Thank you, Sid! I appreciate you!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Excellent work on this BEAUTIFUL bowl. I like the walnut oil on this one. You may find that after about a week a second/third coat will really give the piece a rich finish that is so inviting. BTW, did you brush some oil on the bark? It will help it stay on over time.

[@TournageDubois]

Thanks, Doug! I will brush on some oil with the second coat and third, but was trying to get it done in time for this morning... LOL

[@glenntrav]

I just found your channel and this is the first video I have watched. Keep up the great work. What shield/respirator are you using?

[@TournageDubois]

Thank you for watching, and for the kind words! The respirator I have is made by Peke Safety, and can be found here: pekesafety.com/collections/powered-air-purifying-respirators/products/cleanair-hepa-papr-system?variant=47907200205093

[@arnoldpluim8094]

Nice. Great work now go take a rest.

[@TournageDubois]

Thanks, Bum! I need one after that piece!
