True, true. But the camera angle made it look closer than it actually was. The chuck could have brushed the drill, but my hand was safe. It only takes a couple bloody knuckles to learn this one real fast.

Sioux 55-degree. Or try Neiko. Neither of these are high end brands. I just use it for sanding. The sanding stuff is at wooturnerscatalog. Good luck and thanks!

You are so right. I need to find a way to secure the bowl blank on the drill press. I'm open to ideas and suggestions. I will figure something out and feature it in my next video. The next natural edge cherry burl bowl is around 11 inches. Hope to hear some ideas. I will ask around the forums as well.

Thanks Brendan. I was thinking way too hard about it when my wife said "why not just outline it and fold the paper in half both ways?" There was a major silent "Doh!!" in that moment.

Nice bowl, Martin. That reminded me that I had a cherry burl blank in the shop. I pulled it out and found that it had sat for too long and even though it was completely wax sealed it had cracked in a couple places. It's only a 6 X 2 blank but I don't want to lose it. I mixed up some epoxy and filled the cracks using a heat gun to help the epoxy flow down into the crack. Now to see what I end up with when I turn it. I've enjoyed your videos and hope you make some more in the future.

hi martin,

one thing you could do is chuck it between centers, that way can get better balance in the piece.One other suggestion when approaching the bark edge you should come from the headstock going towards the tail stock for about the first inch.This will help keep the bark on because you will have wood supporting the cut.

Going from the tailstock all the way to the headstock can cause the bark to come loose.Very nice bowl you turned.

Very nice video... one thing i find that works well is sanding the bottom more before mounting it on the expanding chuck to avoid awkward close to spinning metal sanding like at 11:10... thanks for the video

Hello Martin, very nice bowl I must say but can I ask where you got the sander drill thingy has I think I want one, did the sander attachment come with it? kind regards Matt.

Very nicely done. That is how I turn my natural edged bowls as well.
