20 Min. Great Gift or Easy Craft Show Sale! - Wood Turning

I was looking for a quick, small turning due to a sore arm. First piece I saw was this little branch section of Cherry Plum. It proved to be the perfect piece for a simple project that would make an easy sell at a craft show, bazaar or as a neat, spur of the moment gift. Also, a great beginner project! Finished with Howard's Feed & Wax.

I appreciate how you note the gouge size and RPM you are using during this process. So many instructional videos forget these small but important details.

Cute and practical. Fun to watch. Yes, take it for a welcome gift…maybe put something wrapped and sweet inside.

The way you can tell that someone is good at something, is how easy they make it look. 20 minute project for a master, 20 hour project for me.

"The Dixie Cups" haha!
I dig your humor! Part of why you're my favorite YouTube wood turner!

[jasonjohnson]

You took a piece of wood, that someone else would pick up and throw in the fire and made a beautiful little bowl. The grain really popped out with this project. Thanks Phil. Loving your channel. Super helpful !

[TheStanford]

It is alway appreciated when details of size, tools used and lathe speeds given. An experienced woodturner would know these things but the begginer needs all the advice they can get. Thank you.

[DavidFraserYHZ]

I appreciate how you always stop the lathe regularly so we beginners can see how the wood is shaping up. You have a real gift for teaching this craft.

20 minute bowl. I have had a lot of 20 minute jobs that I knocked out in one or two hours during my life. I sure do enjoy your projects and videos.

Just the cutest little bowl. I'd invite you to dinner especially if I knew you were giving 1 of your beautiful creations as a thankyou gift. I'd probably even make a homemade pie. Hope your arm doesn't give you too many fits. I'm getting a total hip replacement June 28th and I've been in extreme pain for almost a year.On pain meds some but your videos help take my mind off of me. Thankyou My Dad always said that getting old isn't for sissies. Lol

I never get tired of watching you turn. You know by looking at your views your a celebrity now! I know you are mine. Great little project for fun. Thank you Phil.

I was thinking they might have been the little paper cups with paper lids of ice cream we would sometimes have with school lunches. Or maybe they were the tiny drinking cups that you would pull one from a plastic tube next to a drinking fountain or water bottle. Or maybe neither of those. I do know that's a really cute bowl anyone would be very happy to receive as a gift! I hope your arm and hand feel better soon. Don't overwork them! ☺️❤️👍

[stephenmccool]

No matter the size, your work is without equal. Job well done. Hope the arm continues to improve

[SoloWoodworking]

What a nice bowl. A small bowl like this seems much more approachable and is something I think I can do rather than trying to tackle something like a big bowl or even a segmented bowl. Thanks Phil. This one inspired me.

Dixie cup takes me back to childhood. That's the shape of them boats you used to get banana splits at the tasty freeze in. That's beautiful !

[Zincchromeshema]

Very cute, love the live edge! Thanks for entertaining us even with a bum arm☺

[JiggsysShed]

Beautiful little bowl. The cracks add character to the natural edge piece.

[BunnyRamey]

Thanks Phil. Love the the way it turned out. Might try to do one myself this weekend. 🙏 praying for your healing.
Dixie cups were small paper cups
They stacked into each other and in a dispenser. Remember having them at grandma's and in the camper.

My neighbors cut down a beautiful cherry wood tree. It was in bad shape but the wood is gorgeous. They let me grab pieces for my turtle habitat. I'd love to swipe the whole tree. 😆 Lots of cracks but beautiful grain. That is a perfect little bowl.

[georgeburke]

When you showed the piece of wood that you were using I didn’t expect it to turn out like that. Amazing!

[joyfulnoise]

I love that the bark reaches all the way to the bottom on this one.
