Natural Edge Bowl

This time I turn a beautiful natural edge bowl out of Horseflesh Mahogany. Will Dukes (not Mike...sheesh there goes my Old Timers again) sent me this wood from Florida. I have never heard of or turned Horseflesh Mahogany. It is incredible wood (with a creepy name) that cuts and sands well. A big thanks to Will (aka Mike)!

Excellent tip on mounting the wood. I am doing a live edge today and I wasn't sure which way to mount the wood. This tip made up my mind at the better way.

[@wdukes1327]

That turned out great! I was glad that the quilting held up through the piece. And yeah for thick bowls! I know turners like to impress each other with paper thin edges, but I find that most folks appreciate something substantial.

[@pinklag9584]

Amazing setup you got there Tim

[@nicolaaloisio2474]

It’s a much better idea to start a natural edge bowl between centers. This give you to the flexibility to readjust during the turning so that the high and low spots can be evened out. With a screw drive, you are committed and will likely end up with a bowl that sits higher on one side.

This is the perfect turning lesson on how to save the bark while on the lathe. Your idea about the Danish oil will definitely work. SAFE TURNING, JOHN

[@williamellis8993]

It's good to see a new video from you. I was missing them. This was an interesting concept and a good looking piece.

[@Rodneys-Firewood-Creations]

This was a great project with a beautiful piece of wood Tim. And like yourself, I have never heard of this wood before. But wow, it sure looks great with the Danish Oil.

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

Thanks for this one, Tim. I've got a piece of hawthorn about the same size. Waiting for my Jet 16" to come right now and then I'll be makin' shavin's! The bark isn't so deep, but it is tight to the now well-seasoned wood, so it'll take a LOT of time and patience. Nice inspiration! Well done!

[@ZoeSummers1701A]

Great to have another video from you.

[@CTHOROS]

Nice cuts Tim. Very helpful camera setup. Inspiring videos, thanks.

[@tedingraham4951]

Thank you for the shout out for the Ohio Valley Woodturners Guild. Enjoyed the log vase clinic.

[@jackreeves3001]

Great video, you are worth waiting for! 🤠

[@heyandy889]

Agreed, what a gorgeous piece - great application of the basic techniques Tim has been showing us all along.

[@garythomas6866]

Never heard of Horseflesh Mahogany it is gorgeous . I,ll have to find a place to get some. Awesome bowls, thanks for your tip using the walnut oil . Your videos are always great thanks again.

[@carolriley569]

Really gorgeous bowl!

[@sharonbyers3982]

Hi Tim, STELLAR RESULT!! I'm not surprised...just dazzled...from the wanna be wood turner Oklahoma Grandma, God Bless

[@jlsuter91]

I love your videos tim. Really inspiring stuff. Hope to get up to your level one day!

[@tomasarguinzoni9022]

Very nice bowl 👍🏼

[@duster.]

Thanks Tim, great work. I have a big lump of tree wood in my workshop that might just work. It has a knobbly bark but kind of plain whitish wood - hence tree wood.

[@kanapodfungsaichon5158]

Thank you , your video

[@madmike8325]

This would make a awesome looking sink for a bathroom if it was a little bit bigger and deeper! you should try turning a sink with a live edge like that sometime... Nice work!

[@alanmullock381]

Beautiful!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@JordanWoodwerx]

Great looking piece Tim, thanks man!!

[@chrissullivan2948]

Hi Tim it’s good to hear and see you turning a nice piece of wood. Can I ask what is the arm holding the camera when you start turning the inside of the bowl - I’m wondering if it can be adapted to take a light - stay safe

[@AffordBindEquipment]

so how has it fared after 8 months? did it crack with the danish oil sealing it up?

[@oneshotme]

Enjoyed and gave a Thumbs Up also

[@lonewolfcry]

Great video and what a nice looking bowl. I haven't turned any green wood yet so I am new to doing so. Now he is the question, you mentioned that you could put the bowl in a paper bag with shavings, if the shavings from the bowl are sucked up into a vacuum system with everything else does it have to be the same shaving or can you use whatever you have ? also is it possible to use pet bedding shavings from the store? Thank you for your time and understanding.

[@WoodyWood]

Thanks for that Tim I always have problems with the first cut on the out side of a blank as I cant follow the tool rest as its so small

[@paulbylin3076]

Can you turn it thinner and still use the danish oil to help prevent cracking? Or do you need to leave it thick?

[@samuelmcilroy7331]

Hi Tim, Can u soak the bark with CA glue to finish it

[@nathanast7036]

Man I sure am jealous of that turning setup, lol. Unfortunately I’m a budget turner so I can only fathom having such a shop. I might try a mini version of this, yet all I have is a carbide chisel. Is carbide a recommended tool for bowl turning? Or should I spend some money on a good bowl gouge and a sharpening setup?

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

Yes, you can do that with carbide. Practice up first, learn a lot of patience and yes, you can do this with carbide!

[@Chrisparkerwoodturner]

Good to see you back Tim I've recently started my you own channel Ch come have a look .

[@homeyshlitz]

Why is the wood called Horseflesh Mahogany Tim? It looks nothing like horse flesh. How thin are you going to make the bowl when it dries?

[@royalvarez6436]

Tim, I realize that this comment is out of context, but just wanted let you know that you are in our thoughts as Tulsa is dealing with major weather issues. I hope you and your family were spared from the devastation. Please let us know.

[@sgtcrtrdnl]

You were just in Cincinnati and I missed it?!?!?!

[@dougrobins8291]

Looking forward to the follow up video after the blank dries. You will have the chance to make it thinner, since the warping will be complete after 6 months of drying. Just a suggestion - weigh it now and weigh it each month until you do the second turning. That information would be interesting to a new wood turner. It is such a nice grain that I can't believe that you are not going to put it in a bag with shavings - I'd be reluctant to trust the danish oil treatment to slow the drying rate enough to prevent curing. Hey! you have two, so why not do a test of one in a bag and one not in a bag?

[@BillB11291]

Tim I think you started with the 5/8 V because the handle you used has a nose whereas the 3/4 V need the 3/4" Lathemaster handle which doesn't have a nose.

[@heyandy889]

🚨 SANDING WITHOUT A MA- "Don't go freakin' out on me, I'm gonna put it on in a minute." Ah, ok. Carry on. 👍

[@davidshaper5146]

Roughing left-handed, like you were doing, is a good way to stay out of the line of fire.

[@thewilddinkus8026]

I use chisels on the lathe instead of gouges.

[@renaebettenhausen3611]

THANK YOU for wearing the mask

[@gabrielc6252]

Ugly stuff. Looks dirty and unfinished. Any natural edge bowl looks like that to me
