A great technique that I'd like to try from an old episode of New Yankee Workshop.

Here's the link to the video …

I about cried at the 14:05 mark. When he drew the circle on that walnut blank he was going to turn I was yelling at the computer "NO! NO! DONT CUT IT! You gonna throw away the most beautiful part of the wood! Use it all! "
He sure cut away a lot of material from that walnut blank!

I know I watched many videos like this one John when I first got started in turning. As far as log hunting goes, I'm constantly on the lookout for something interesting. Take a break from your toys and build a bowl. Ha ha. Who knows, you may end up using it in your next project.

For me, the technique with the MONSTER equipment was just as interesting as the bowls he produced.
Taking a high-speed tool to a huge, slow-turning chunk of log made a lot of sense-safety and control.
It's a solution to a problem that I'm filing between my ears … but I'll probably be working at a slightly smaller scale. :)

LMAO John. How true.

Geez John, I can't think of a worse way to carve a bowl. I say this as an experienced turner. It is MUCH; MUCH easier to do the job with a standard bowl gouge (or maybe even your fingernail if it is sharp enough). Great for a laugh anyway. Have fun!
