That's a really nice chunk of birch -- the compression figure from the limbs is truly special. And, your bowl captures all that grain beautifully. Do I have suggestions? Of course :-) I find that I get better results by smoothing the outside of the bowl after reversing it onto the chuck and hollowing it -- there's always some loss of concentricity on reversal, and the wood *is* going to move some after it's hollowed, even if it's dry. I then use a 40/40 negative rake scraper (i.e. ground 40 degrees on either side for an 80 degree included angle) to smooth the inside -- I get wispy angel hair shavings with this grind. Finally, I use a laser pointer (the type used to torment small furry house pets) held to the tool rest to check the evenness and/or grain balance of the blank on both natural edge and regular bowls. Dissertation continued next video... :-D Clyde

Clyde Ulmer Haha Thanks for the kind words and advice Clyde, you know I appreciate it! You are definitely right that there will be a loss of concentricity when reversing, and I probably waste too much time on some projects trying to get it to run true because I already spent all the time shear scraping lol I think it's about time I shape myself a good negative rake scraper for the insides of bowls. Sometimes my gouges can leave it good and clean, but many times I'm standing there wondering why I haven't got a negative rake scraper on hand lol That's a very smart idea of using the laser as well, now we are talking precision! I think yet again I have to pin your comment to the top so others can learn from it.....you're starting to be a refusal feature of the channel at this point! Lol I really appreciate it Clyde, and hope others do as well! Kyler

Lovely piece. I also use the two part epoxy from time to time, but lately I have been using fine ground coffee and thin CA. It fills great on fine cracks and you can layer it on larger holes. I normally only do one pass as a final sheer cut but looking at this video I obviously need to spend a little longer to get a great result and avoid the 150 sand paper.(Montana Wood Art).

CrackerJack Thank you very much! Yes you're right about using CA instead of epoxy. It can save a lot of time since there is little to no cure time. The coffee grounds can also make for a more natural colour as well. It would have been the better choice on this bowl. I like to avoid the 150 grit when I can because I've had more issues with getting the 150 sanding scratches out than anything else lol but sometimes it is definitely necessary. Kyler

The final shape of this piece is very pleasing, Kyler. It's just right, it looks good, oh, you know what I mean! Proportions, that's it! Great proportions, nice long taper, I just love it! I have got to study exactly how you are using your swept back gouge. You seem to be pushing the whole side of it into the wood resulting in those long thin shavings and huge amounts of wood removed at a time. I have never tired that. It seems like it would take a lot of muscle to get it done. Are you pushing pretty hard? Love the finish! Wow, just amazing! I cannot get wipe-on poly to spread like that. Mine gets tacky before I can get the piece fully covered. I do use pre-mixed, maybe yours is a little thinner. In any event, great job, it looks really good! Happy New Year, buddy! Phil
@woodturnerky8556
@woodturnerky8556 6 жыл бұрын
madronawoodworks Haha thanks for the kind words Phil, much appreciated! As for the heavy cuts I take, the main thing is to have the tool rest at 45* to the bedways. If it's parallel, the gouge gets pulled in to the wood too easily and it gets aggressive real quick. If the tool rest if perpendicular to the bedways, then the tool has a tendency to bounce away. The 45* is a healthy balance between the two. Also the flute is open to the point where the bevel on the wing is riding along behind the cut. Also the bevel is riding at the nose of the tool as well. Seems like a wide open wild Edge but there is bevel riding all over lol Tool handle slightly dropped as well. It's the main reason I have my grind so swept back. If it's a big out of balance piece, I will anchor the tool to the rest with my hand, and pivot from that point so that I get more control and stability. I don't push into the wood hard, but on big out of balance pieces I hold it tight to the tool rest. With polyurethane I like to thin it down by about 20% with mineral spirits. I basically am looking for the consistency of water. This way I can work with it for a couple mins without any worry of it tacking up on me. Thanks for watching Phil, and I'm glad we are always able to learn of each other! Hope you had a great New Year! Kyler

@woodturnerky8556 5 жыл бұрын
mark verspaget I use Minwax Clear Gloss Polyurethane which can be thinned with any thinner meant for Oil based paints. So mineral spirits, turpentine and paint thinner will all work. If you want to save a couple coats you can always seal it first with shellac or any "sanding sealer' product, but I prefer to let the oil soak deeply into the wood, especially on softer woods as it helps to harden the surface up. First two coats, allow to soak in well, and wipe off any excess once the wood has taken all it wants too. After the first couple coats the wood should be sealed and you can wipe on a very thin coat and leave it as you now want to start building up the finish on top of the surface. And remember to either sand with a very high grit (400 or 600) or scuff with 0000 steel wool between coats to keep the surface even, and to help the next coat "tooth" into the previous coat. Don't apply another coat until the previous coat is dry and not tacky at all. The final coat should create a smooth gloss surface which you don't want to sand or scuff afterwards. Always read the instructions of the can for any additional information they may have. Hope this helps! Kyler

mark verspaget Those tear drops or runs or sags happen when too much finish is applied to the surface so gravity starts to make a mess of it. Make sure when applying finish that it's never more than what the surface tension can keep flat. As for an email, it might be best to find me on Facebook if you have it, under "woodturnerky" and I should check it in the next couple days or so. Thanks! Kyler

Southeast Gen IV's Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated! I just use the regular Fast Drying Clear Gloss Polyurethane by Minwax. Thinning it out helps it to flow better so it lays out good and flat, and it also allows you to wipe it on without things getting tacky. Main things to consider are to use thin coats, sand with 600 or scuff with steel wool between coats, wipe off all excess in the first couple coats until the wood is sealed (where the wood no longer soaks up the finish), and on the coats after the wood is sealed it's best to wipe on a thin coat that sits on top but has no chance of running or sagging. Use a good lint free cloth. Hope this helps and sorry for late reply! Kyler

tony toomey Hey thank you Tony I appreciate that! This bowl wasn't as straight forward of a turn as I thought it would be, but it had more features and figure than I expected also. That's part of the fun in woodturning, never know what you will find! As for the finish, I usually wait about 3-4 hours between coats. If it is getting gummy while scuffing, it's too early. Scuffing is important to keep the surface smooth for the next coat, but also to allow the next coat to "teeth" into the previous coat. I use regular clear gloss polyurethane (not polyacrylic) that I thin down with about 20% mineral spirits. It should become about the consistency of water after thinning. This is basically the same as "wipe-on poly" but a bit cheaper. Very durable finish. I use it when I see chatoyance, or when there is bark because it stabilizes the bark. Hope this helps! Kyler

@woodturnerky8556 6 жыл бұрын
Don Beveridge Hello Don! I usually wait about 3-4 hours between coats, depending on the temperature and humidity. If you start scuffing it up between coats and it's getting gummy, then it's too early. Scuffing is important to keep the surface smooth for each coat, but also to make sure the next coat can "teeth" into the previous coat. Poly is one of the most durable finishes in my opinion. And as for who did I study with? I'm not totally sure what you mean by that lol I might be having what we call in my family, a "polish moment" lol

@@woodturnerky8556 What I mean by "with whom did you study" is, you're a young guy, you didn't learn your skills watching KZbin videos. Your techniques look polished as if you study with or trained with a master turner.

Don Beveridge Well I'm flattered that you say that but unfortunately no, I never did receive any formal training. And the nearest city with a turning club is a good 3 1/2 hour drive away. I've been turning for close to 4 years now and I learned pretty much everything from KZbin. I learned quite a bit with trial and error, but several channels were really what guided me. Namely, Sam Angelo (Wyomingwoodturner), Capt. Eddie Castelin, Carl Jacobson, Mike Waldt, and RoboHippie. There are others but those channels really set me on the right path. I'm very thankful that all these turners put up so much content over the years because I don't know how else I would have learned. Heck, I don't even know if I would have gotten into woodturning if I hadn't stumbled across Sam's channel while looking up how to dry wood lol it's unreal how much information is on youtube!

Too bad that knot came out. Or maybe not. It makes for an interesting feature. Very nice piece no matter what the species. Happy New Year.

Glen Crandall Thanks Glen, I appreciate that! I didn't know what would look best, so I figured I would error on the side of what is easiest and safer for longevity. Happy New Year to you as well! Kyler

R. Allen Shoaf Hello there! I'm interested in what you have been creating. If you have Facebook, you can send it to me there (woodturnerky) through messenger. If you don't have Facebook, I will get an email address for you. My main email is work related so I would have to use an alternative one. Thanks!

Shawn Weir Hey thanks Shaun I appreciate that! During my research, red, grey and river birch are what I have mostly eliminated the possibilities down to. So I think we are getting closer to getting this sorted out lol thanks again! Kyler
