Woodturning - Winged Sycamore Crotch Bowl

[@_zhawkeye_9808]

...this double crotch winged bowl just popped up on my home page...and it really did turn out gorgeous...! It's a beautiful thing when two crotches come together...👍 Matt

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Haha, I'll need to save that joke for next time I find a log like this!

[@Skyrunner_84]

Nice work. I like that you kept the wings on. The only thing I would have preferred is keeping the chainsaw marks. I love chainsaw marks on pieces like this.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Interesting idea! I might have to try and incorporate that at some point!

[@rickharem5788]

Good looking bowl. Not long ago I commented you had become my favorite bowl maker. Not to imply that your skills were limited to bowls. I do love your work and learn from you. Thanks, Rick.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Rick. I'm honored!

[@christopherjohnson-designs4089]

Very nice turning, and I like the beaver. Everyone could use a funny beaver hanging around the shop!

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Haha, yes the world would be a better place if everyone had a Harry Beaver.

[@richarddefour5220]

Very pure shape, your beaver will be happy.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Richard. I feel all I do nowadays is try to please my beaver.

[@daveandcindyamos5537]

Just found your videos. Great workmanship. Enjoy the happy music

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Glad you found me and find my videos enjoyable!

Damn impressive, had not ever seen your YT channel, excellent presentation, and work outcome!

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Daniel! Glad you found my channel!

[@stevecassidy3222]

Never used coffee for filling cracks. I really should give it a go, sometime

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

It works great Steve. You should give it a try!

[@SiamWoodShop]

Great work Robert, the shape and grain look tremendous. Stay safe, John

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks John!

[@trurex007lee7]

Nice bowl. You should turn the other half of that crotch so the inside of the tree is the base and see how much feathering of the grain remains at the bottom of the bowl.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Sadly I only have one half of this piece as it was given to me from a fellow woodturner that was moving out of town.

[@dennisrood1469]

Love the three legged bowl. I was looking at a log like that wondering what to do with it thanks for sharing. If you don’t mind if I copy your inspiring work

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Go for it Dennis! Hope it turns out well!

[@larrystanley3886]

absolutly love you ' wifes input. LOL. does she have a sister????

[@josephcraft2845]

Cool

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Joseph!

[@jimgramstad3604]

Beautiful. What did you use for finishing coat?

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Jim. The finish was General Finishes Wood Bowl Finish.

[@thomasbowdler8856]

Maybe a silly question, are the coffee grounds new or used?

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

They're used but I doubt it matters. Just make sure if they're used that they've dried out.

[@BadAppleWoodwerx]

Looks cool Robert. Hope Harry was happy with your crotch. 🤣

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

...never met a beaver that wasn't!

[@jplwoodworks]

Turned out very nice Hodge. Thanks for sharing. Hope you and your family are well, including Harry. Just got a wood burning set in. fairly inexpensive one, but heat setting do you use to sign the bottom of your pieces? Thanks again.

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

I typically have mine set around 6 or 7 out of 10. But I like to try and test it out on similar wood if I have a scrap piece near me.

[@jplwoodworks]

@@HodgePodgeWoodWorks Good advice, Thanks.

[@williamellis8993]

Really nice bowl, Robert. Those branches cound be used to hold your salad serving tools. Did Harry pig out on the shavings? Take care. Bill

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Thanks Bill. I'm surprised Harry is able to maintain his figure with all the shavings he has available

Looks like you really need to invest in a good bandsaw
