When I first started watching people turning bowls I wondered why someone had not made something to core them first. Especially the large pieces of wood. However, then I watched one core out the bowls like you do. Now, it is a fantastic way not to waste so much wood. You explain how to core for us who do not turn wood. I enjoy watching your instructional videos you give a lot of information. Even though I don't turn I now understand how and why things are being done. You are a wonderful teacher keep up the good work.

@stephanieruggles7783 3 жыл бұрын

The coring system is not only so much more sustainable since you waste less precious wood. It also gives much more bowls for selling them. You could even sell bowl sets made from one log only. Which means a lot more money easier made than by classic turning. Plus it gives you the possibility to core bigger bowls than by the classic wood turning. The coring system also seems to shave the bowls more even than the classic bowl,gauge. Money, time and muscle power also saved. Thats what I call a win win situation for both the wood turner as well as Mother Nature. I hope that this system will make its way into more wood turners sheds in the future. Thanks for sharing. Please stay safe and take care.

Aww, Jim, when you said that you don't usually bother with the smallest bowls, all I could think is that I wish you were still in NB, so I could rescue all your baby bowls! I completely understand your POV, especially with being a larger business. I'm unfortunately on the opposite end of the spectrum, when I bought my 8"X12" lathe, I had no idea how quickly I'd outgrow it, and how limited I'd be, your smallest are probably about my max size, haha! Great video explaining the process!

Very informative, Mr Jim. When I upgrade to a full size lathe, I’d already planned on using some kind of coring system because I truly detest wasting a natural resource such as this beautiful wood that God has gifted to man. I tell you, it makes me want to cry to see a turner get just one bowl out of a truly huge piece of wood- with the rest of it being a pile of shavings on the shop floor! Your OneWay system seem to work pretty well and appears to be intuitive to use. Right now , it’s “in the running” with the McNaughton system. I know there’s a lot of quality in these tools, but that quality sure carries a high price tag! Lol! Thanks again for a great video, quite instructional without being “windy”, if you get my meaning! Lol Have a Blessed Day sir! Charlie Ball.

@SpragueWoodturning 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Charles, after much research I’m glad I bought the Oneway system. It not cheap, but after coring one large tree you will get that money back. I’m working on a processing video now on some monster walnut, should be posted next week. Safe turning, Jim.

I’ve got large Mini ( or a small Midi!) lathe so I’m limited to under 10”, which is what I’ve been turning..... Lol! ( seriously, I’ll take them off your hands, let me know if you want an address to send them to.) Happy turning my friend!

Very good information, and will be looking forward to when you eventually finish those pieces.

My version only has two knives, where the newest one has three (a new larger one....which I am envious of).

Love your vids. Lots of great to the point info. So thanks. What speeds do you core your blanks at, for example the largest one you turned in this vid (the one with the tailstock engaged for support) and do you increase or decrease the speed after the first cored blank?

@SpragueWoodturning 3 жыл бұрын

I forgot to check but it’s probably around 500. The further you get away from center the slower you should go. The smaller cores can be done at higher speeds. I usually turn up the speed until the blank vibrates, then reduce the speed until it stops. Jim

@WHATAGIRLWANTS2009 3 жыл бұрын

Hello, I can't beleive you don't have more viewers! You're amazing. If you'd indulge me, your "system" is that you use the coring system to create rough bowls, you then air age them 3-6 months (with wood preservative) then you do final aging in your refrigerator kiln? Is that correct? also, do you take a moisture reading before your use your coring system? Thank you

@SpragueWoodturning 3 жыл бұрын

I don’t bother taking any readings when first starting to rough turn anything because the moisture readings will be higher than 25%. I prefer to work with logs that are fresh off the stump if possible. Everything you’ve said is correct, it’s best if the bowls loose most of their moisture prior to them going to the kiln, it just speeds up the final drying. Once they get in the kiln, I can usually finish them to 7% in a couple of weeks. Now, as far as my channel is concerned, I’ve completed disregarded it for three years and only really started it in Apr of this year. The plan now is to be here weekly and spread great content to the world, lol. It was originally started so I could run a video at the many shows I do throughout the year and I wanted people to have access to it on KZfaq, Jim.

Update on the Waterlox, I had a second Cypress bowl that turned milky and I know it wasn't because of moisture, the only thing I can think of is that the shop was cold when I put the Waterlox on and it turned milky, by the time I got it sanded down the bowl and shop had warmed up and this time it turned out okay so I'm guessing that temperature has a lot to do with it.
