@angusMCjamison Another option is to use a coring system to make 3 bowls from this blank, instead of just one. If the wood is rare, expensive or hard to get, coring makes good sense, and if you sell the bowls, it will easily pay for itself.
I tried to turn my " first bowl " yesterday. It's a small one. I gave it a rest after having difficulty turning the interior the bowl's center. Since I'm new at this I wasn't able to relieve all the center of mass. A small "nub" remains. Do you have any suggestions on removing the bowl's interior center?
@ernstbecker1 if you are using a bowl gouge or spindle gouge try turning the tool to where your tool is at more of a angle toward the bevel more. and cut with the point of the tool. Ralph
Also I must say isn't the chuck a little on the tiny side for a piece this big? Especially since it is applied at a stage where the piece isn't even completely balanced yet.
Sometimes I think woodturners forget every other tool exists, once they get themselves a decent lathe ;-) It might save a lot of time and effort to pre-shape the piece more, using saws, wood chisels and the like, before turning. Not to mention increase safety.
'Turning' would be placing your cutting tool outside the rotating piece and changing the width of the wood. In the video, you demonstrated a constant width.
Boring is when you keep width constant and chip away the inside of the piece. Yeah?
@HatchetJacks50 I'm a bit curious as to why there would be a problem with turning wood while wearing a wristwatch? I am having trouble imaging any circumstances as to where that would become a problem.
@Febeleh Any kind of jewelry is a liability when you are using power tools of any kind as I had the same concerns when seeing the watch and bracelet the turner was wearing. A classmate in my high school shop class had two fingers ripped off at an old Oliver lathe when his sleeve got snagged and his first reaction was to brace himself. The pinch point at the tool rest and workpiece does nasty damage. That image was burned into my brain but it keeps me from being complacent when working.
Where is your unified field theorem of temporal distortion mechanic lathe wood bowl statistical analysis to back up that assertion??
You can't just say time doesn't exist in the fabric of the wood lathe process continuum esoteric gibberish without first having masturbated heavily while inventing new words.
Idiots these days- don't know the first thing about how to do anything. It really sickens me. You are the cause of all the world's problems obviously.

Great job! I've spent a few hours turning bowls this size only to have them split. How do you keep them from splitting and cracking? This is not my business, just my wife wanted a couple of bowls for her and her sister. I usually use my lathe for spindles and legs.
@ehwoodworks Hello and thanks for looking at my video .Are you turning end grain or side cut end grain is almost impossable not to split .but you can get a wax wood sealer to put on it but. or you can wrap it in brown paper let it dry to %8 to %12 befor you finnish it .Thanks again Ralph onefakind2 or you could by one of my bowls!
Hi and thanks for looking at my video and my shop the lath is a power matic 2442. And it coast around $5.000 its a 220 volt 3hp. it will get the job done but you have to sell a lot of pieces. thanks Ralph oneofakind2.
@oneofakind2bowls Hello. I am in South Africa and am struggling to find a sealant to treat green wood with to slow the drying process and avoid cracks. What product do you use and what is it make up of so I can try and locate an equivalent in SA
Thanks for watching my video. If you look under the video " from a section of log to the green bowl......" underneath you will see a link that says "See more". Just click on this to see the rest of the description, it has the link your looking for. Once again, thanks and Have a great day.
Looks very confident precise work, and very fascinating to watch. But please put your watch on your other wrist. I thought it was going to catch between the revolving work and the chisel rest at any second.
do you always have the problem with the piece being slightly off center after going from the faceplate to the chuck? I have this problem all the time and dont know any way to fix it...
@release19 - Yes, there is a link to view the finished bowl in the comments above, directly below the video if you would like to see the finished piece. Thanks.
@ TheFr1ch: If thats his Cereal bolw, I am jelouse!!!! That thing could hold 2 boxes of Reeses Puffs!!!!
Awesome job on the bowl, I tried my first one this weekend from a piece of cheery I had for firewood. Still kinda green.. It was going great till the tool cought on it while cutting out the inside and the whole piece shot out of the jaw...lol I stopped at that point and finished putting my drill press together.lol
@zacker001 Thanks for looking at my video. I have had few peaces go flying a cross the shop to just put it back on and start over . thanks again Ralph
I will wrap my bowl in a brown paper bag, turn it upside down on a shelf, and wait till the moisture meter reads between 8% and 12%. Sorry I couldn't be more specific, but the time varys depending on the kind of wood, and how green it is to start with..Thanks!
Thanks for commenting on my video. When I first started turning, I did round the coronors, but I soon found, I had taken out alot of the character, that I choose to leave in my bowls. Thanks for the question, have a happy thanksgiving.
@andredoggy Thanks for looking at my viedo .make sure you bolt it down for it will still walk with pieces out of balance. hope you get to use it alot and enjoy turning on it oneway is a very nice lath.
@RyanliciousGTI Thanks for looking at my video sorry it took me so long to get back to my site . it is the way it is done. on big stuff use your tail stock to help till you get to the point you have to move it .Ralph @oneofakind2
Good video. Big piece of poplar! I like that you only turn local woods; same with me--only local, and salvaged from construction projects, blowdowns, or arborist crews. Treecycling.
@wbro8316 Looks like he's turning on a powermatic 4224, same as JET 4224 for you downunder. Same capacity as Vicmarc300. Over 900 lbs. VB's are lighter, and don't even have a tailstock unless you spend close to 10K, and sure seem less user friendly for everything but extremely large projects. They're smooth because you bolt them to the floor. I'm betting this lathe is unbalanced. Sharper tools would help. Gripping a tenon rather than expanding would be a lot safer as well, IMHO.
You know all too well what a piece of log that size can do if it comes off, I'm sure. Not a fun happening. Nice work though Ralph, I'll be back into turning myself once I get the new shop finished, which is way behind schedule.
One chunk of wood you make sure it's chucked and centered well or you find out how hard it can hit you. Had a 12" diameter blank come off once and it hit the wall and put a hole through the sheathing - glad it didnt hit me.
dude, you're cutting in the wrong direction, at minute 9+ you are scraping the wood from inside out, you should cut outside in and use your bevel!!! a big clue is the noise your chisel is making...
How do you finish a green bowl. I turned a small bowl from green wood and it cracked bigtime.
