Woodturning A Segmented Walnut Bowl Part 2

This is the second half to this video:
In part one, I had a walnut bowl that I had started to hollow out, but never finished. It developed several severe cracks in it. I first cut the bowl into five pieces: three that I would keep and two with the cracks that I would not. I needed to remake those two pieces. I did this by making a completely second segmented bowl with the same overall form as the original walnut bowl. In part two, I took the leftover pieces from the segmented bowl and remade new solid walnut pieces. Then I put them all together to make a semi segmented walnut and padauk bowl.

The difference in editing from part 1 to part 2 has a huge increase, and those bowls look amazing. An amazing looking pair of artistry.

I really enjoyed both of the videos on making the walnut bowls. I very much appreciate, the time you take to 'save' the piece by replacing/repairing various imperfections and cracks. Nice job.

I'm blown away at how amazing this looks. Great job Frank.

At this point I have not started selling, but that is the plan in the near
future. stay tuned.

Your videos inspire me to strive for greater artistry in my own filming. I love woodwork, but I love good videography even more. Thank you!

I really like how you don't throw away a blank just because of it being cracked or imperfect in any way. So when I watched the first video I couldn't believe you'd let all the segmented leftovers go to waste. Now I see you really didn't. Beautiful work and a very nice pair of "mirror-imagely" segmented bowls. I love the stop-motion assembly bit btw.

Love the artistry, not just in the bowl, but in the video editing and stop-motion bits as well.

Two super bowls. I like the second bowl better than the first, I think the shape is more pleasing. I could watch you work all day.

[nomadben]

Your videos are so well done and are a great pleasure to watch. The bowls look excellent.

I have too say, I like the cracks. They add character, and I think add too the bowl!

[arongatt]

The cracks gave some character to the bowl I like it

[afyounie]

Both bowls are great, I like the second one more because its thinner, more delicate, and has more of an undercut. The cracks add a very interesting look as well. Really awesome work, and the stop motion stuff is awesome too!

i dont know why but it's so fun to watch crude and rough pieces come together to become one nice and smooth masterpiece. haha

Great work!  Part 1 and 2 were both fun to watch.  I especially enjoyed the animation of tilting the band saw table and later assembling the bowl pieces.  Creative wood working and turning as well as videography - outstanding!  (I looked it up - videography is a word according to Miriam-Webster despite Firefox's spell checker dinging me with the squiggly red line).  Cheers!

Your editing and camera work are superb!...and I love the bowls too! Now that you have a layer of finish on the bowl you can fill the cracks with walnut dust & CA glue, or perhaps a contrasting wood dust or metallic powder, and the CA glue won't stain your piece. I have also found that this works while the work is still on the lathe, just use danish oil to prep the surface around the cracks, apply the CA glue and rub in sawdust. Then let it dry and finish turning.

I like the cracks and deformities in the wood Frank. That is what makes wood well wood.

Red heart and walnut are absolutely beautiful together.

I used to just grind everything. lately I have been touching up the bowl gouge and scraper with a diamond plate (600 or 1200). 5 or 6 times between grindings. this seems to work well, and cuts down on the wear on the tools.
