Nice job, Jeff. I'll check out your web site, too. I also like tenons better, but its still instructive to see what can happen, and how you can move on after a mishap.
I start all N.E. bowls between centers so I can tip them for the best balance and figure. The 2-prong drive spur from Best Wood Tools goes right in the chuck jaws, and works like a charm. Keep up the nice work.
@vbalman07 I see no response from Jeff, so I'll jump in. You have 2 choices -- either turn it from green wood to completion in one session, or rough-turn it and leave it a little thick for re-mounting later, after the wood dries. Green (fresh-cut or wet) wood will shrink and warp as it dries. As it does this, it shrinks in width, but not in length, so it becomes oval. If oval is what you want, you turn it all at once; if round is desired, you need to let it dry before making it round again.
Well tyler, It seems there are different ways to d things and that day I happend to want to do it with a dovetail. 95% of the time I use a tenon and they fail also! This was very green wet wood so it tends to compress more than dry wood. Oh and by the way your spelling is terrible, unless you are not american. Just trying to keep our future leaders educated.
