Thank you for your terrific videos! New turner here. I don't understand why the unsupported grain after the end grain isn't a worse problem than the end grain. If I were using a router on a board with similar grain, the most vulnerable edge would be the section with the unsupported grain. I would consider making a climb cut there. It would be like reversing the direction the bowl is turning for just that section. Thanks for any help.

Always wonderful way to explain the problems and their effective solutions. I am a first timer turner and I run to Kent's videos when I need a solution to my turning problem. Once I understood the solution, I apply it in my turning: the result I successfully manage to eliminate the problem. What is delightful is that you care to answer my posts, I do not feel ignored. With some engineering background, I understood the geometry of he bowl gouge and the dynamics of its meeting with the revolving wood. This helped to learn to avoid a catch. Now if I get a catch, I know what I did wrong and rectify it. Thanks Kent for your help to all wood turners, especially to a new turner like me. I purchased three carbide-tip gouges, but for some reason I enjoy more using the conventional bowl gouge. Do they make conventional bowl gouge with carbide tip? Best.
@TurnAWoodBowl3 жыл бұрын
VK, Thank you for writing and sharing. I'm so glad to be able to help when you need it. But I'm more glad that you are enjoying the process of turning. Yes, I believe there is more of a connection between the turner and the wood with the bowl gouge compared to the carbide scraper. Of course they both work, but there's a cleaner, more natural feeling with the gouge. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

Bowl gouge is still new to me. Didn’t have one, made my own. Watched your bowl gouge angle vid and this one. Between the two, this was my aha moment. Mostly make bodhran tippers (Celtic drumsticks) which is spindle work, but recently upgraded my lathe and have been playing with bowls and lidded boxes. Been favouring my carbide tools for a lot of this journey, mostly due to a lack of a good sharpening setup. With my homemade bowl gouge, I did a freehand 40/40 grind on a crappy bench grinder with no angle support then refined it by hand with diamond stones, tried it out and I found your so called aha moment.

Hi Kent , I will say that I have been getting kinda lucky with the end grain as I was learning, the last few bowls have had issues and I’m rewatching your videos to see what I’ve missed , turning a bowl to finish with even slightly green wood has proven to be a bad choice as it’s warping in me most of the time before I even get it completely sanded. I also have found that in continuing to follow your advice it is getting much easier to follow your examples and advice example to move your body instead of your arms while cutting out the shape of a project. I may have missed it but do you have a video on green wood ? Thank you for your great instructions and advice to help us learn and become better in our turning experience

Again, very useful advice: tear out is quite an issue with the seasoned pine I am using. And, by the way, the fibres in the timber xylem are real “straws” that take water from the roots of the tree to the leaves so your straw model is perfect.
@TurnAWoodBowl3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the info! Have you read "The Hidden Life of Trees" by Peter Wohlleben. The straw info is correct, but did you know that we (humans) still have not figured out how the water is lifted all the way to the tops of the trees? They explain how the "quick" answers we've long believed don't actually work like we thought. It's an amazing read, that will have you looking at every tree differently.

Only having and using a lathe for about 3 weeks and knowing nothing about turning when starting, I find your videos invaluable. You really are awesome at instruction. One question, why does coming from bottom of bowl help with end grain tearout versus coming from top of bowl down. I understand the supported cut thing some what but not really understanding the fibers not being supported coming down from the top if the fibers seem to be running the same direction on either cut. I know I must be missing something here just not seeing it at the moment why. Again, thanks for your videos, I think they are among the best of the best out there.

Nice video; thank you. You say when shaping the exterior of the bowl, to get a supported cut by turning from the base of the bowl toward the rim. How about when turning the interior of the bowl? Still from the center of the bowl toward the rim? or in that case, do you go from the rim toward the base?

Great question. The inside supported direct will change to rim to bottom. Check out this video where I cover it all kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbhzY7GImbibl3U.html All the best to you and Happy Turning!

Kent. Do you have a top ten of your favorite species to turn?

Good question. I usually love what I'm turning currently. Here are some of the ones I really like to turn; cherry, honey locust, ligustrum (in the olive family), elm, maple, walnut, camphor, cedar, pecan. Those are the top that come to mind. ;)
