As usual, a very well constructed video and an extraordinary gift for teaching. You are my go-to when it comes to checking out turning techniques. Thank you.

Imagine what this piece of wood has seen... Here in the frontier zone between France and Germany there are still oak trees that are 'spiced' with projectiles of all kinds of arms. Sawmills are still concerned about this.

We replaced sections of chestnut beams from our 260 year old building. I turned a bunch of bowls from that. Amazing results.

I once found some oak that was so hard i couldn't keep my chainsaw sharp.

I've just made 6 bowl out of English oak, thats 450 years old, came from an old barn ....no problem, shines like glass...one is now in Japan..and they really appreciate old wood

[GryphonArmorer]

With those corners (the off cuts). You could make a toothpick holder, salt & pepper shakers, and a stick pot/vase. Might be a profitable...., I mean, neat little set. 😉

I’m cutting a change bowl/cup from an oak crotch. The top of the Y is 5.5” x 2.5” and the bottom of the Y is roundish 3.5” - 4.2”. It was cut down to about 6’ length about two months ago, two weeks ago I cut 14” from the top of the split. I don’t have a bandsaw yet, so I threw the long blade on my mom’s jigsaw (that I’m borrowing), and I’ll tell you what brother, that wood is hard as stone. 🤯 It can’t really be that dry yet? I finally got the nerve up to just go ahead and, freehand corrected the way shallow factory grind. It took a little fine machine file work to finish smoothing it up. Cut a 100% better now. That raises a point I’d like to get your opinion on.
Leave the burr? Or, Hone the burr “away”?

I think I prefer to get rid of the burr as part of the “sharpening process”. It’s becoming a ritual. 🤪
I’ve only been turning for about a month. So, you know, my vast existence. 😜😂🤪 Probably won’t be ready to fill an Art Market booth till mid-late next year. Just moving slower than I used to be able to, and a smaller bench top unit. Wen 8”x 12” variable speed. Does the job but definitely looking to get the Wen 14”x 20” & the bed extension, but first thing with the sale of a couple of sugar bowls, stick vases, mushrooms and tops. 🙏 I’m getting at least a three piece set of carbide bit tools.

Any way. Great video. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and have learned so much. Which has been part of the inspiration to ask for a lathe for my birthday and actually got it. I’ve been saying X Box since mine died, but I’m definitely glad the fam waited till I asked for my lathe.
Keep up the great work. Again, thanks.

its jsut sawmill marks... have a log cut at a circular sawmill today and it has those exact sme marks... they make circular saw blades that are 36, 48 or more inches... still available... look up sawmill supplies

Looks like you have a Robust sweet 16. I first saw this at SWAT 2019. How do you like it? I like the smaller profile of it, but wonder if these are limitations for you?

[leewhaley]

I'm turning a piece of black walnut end grain on inside ( just a slice of the tree). It's horribly tough going. Is it the way I've got the grain oriented or is it just very hard wood ?. I haven't turned bowls in over 50 years but I don't remember it being this hard

[Jay.C.H]

I noticed that you are wearing a glove on your left hand. I want to buy a glove, because I have burned my hand from turning too long and the chisel heats up. The problem is I can’t find a glove that should work. What should I be looking for? I have to buy it online because my hands are bigger than the normal XL.

[paulcrew]

This is my favourite TAWB video. I have a good source of very dry spotted gum wood, so I will use what I have learned here to try and turn a bowl as beautiful as this one

[ralphvanpelt]

Kent, another great video. What degree are you sharpening this swept back bowl gouge too? I'm having too many issues with tearout on end grain and making the sand paper mfg. rich.

[garcmol]

Stumbled on some felled oak. Its like a rock. My 10" lathe is getting a workout

[outback_julie]

Try some Australian white gum if you want to talk hard ( I dare you!)

[davidpennington]

I have a lot of Heart Pine boards well over 100 years old. Is Heart Pine good for turning bowls

[GeoffHooper-pj]

Hi. I've just watched this video. Wow. Brilliant. A few weeks ago I was given 8 oak beams from a French war ship that was made in 1706. It's incredible stuff. Talk about rock hard lol. It's even got holes with wooden pegs in them from when it was manufactured. Just thinking as I'm new to turning if I'm not experienced enough to tackle that yet. I ve done some pens so far, and again, wow 500 year old pens. The beams are all around 8 feet long and measure around 10 x 8 inches, or larger. They weigh an absolute ton. It needed a crane to lift them from the garden they came from and get them to my place. After watching your video, what stories could they tell you lol. I'd love to send you a small piece over to you and let an expert have a go with it. If you would like some, I'll gladly send you some over from the UK it's the least I can do with how much I've learnt from watching your videos. Thanks again. Geoff

[pallepedersen]

Great videos you are making, I have enjoyed the most of them an learned a lot, you are a verry good teacher

is your 1/2in bowl gouge the flute size or bar size? I have a 1/2in but it has a 3/8in flute. I was thinking I need to find a 1/2in flute size or 5/8in bar size. Would this be correct?

[jerrylott]

Have a piece of an old homemade stool. When paint was removed found a 2 inch thick Oak seat. Gotta be 50 years hard

[lizsurbanroost]

You probably won't see this comment because this is an old video, but I just wanted to say how much I love your videos.
I don't do this but I love watching these being made, every video I've watched before discovering your channel was always just a sped up video of the wood being turned, they are cool videos and I love them, but I was always sad to never get more info and find out more about this art form. I never had any idea what they were really doing and why they were doing it.
Then I came upon your channel and I am loving all your videos and how you teach and explain everything you do, I don't feel so in the dark anymore and I love it! Its made me appreciate and enjoy these wood turning videos even more :)
Thank you! Love your videos, I don't usually get to comment because I come upon them on my recommended feed on YouTube and I usually only watch on my TV :)
