Woodturning: FRANKENBOWL! Maple Burl Cap
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This beautiful burl cap is big leaf maple. I purchased it on eBay for $25, and I think it was well worth the price. To keep the excellent texture of the top of the cap, I turned a small recess in the center of the top. Then I finished it with Watco Wiping Polyurethane.

Like everyone else I gasped when I thought you went through the bottom. Whew! Dodged that bullet. Since I DID do that with the platter you helped me with, I know of a solution. Ha, ha. When you started I wasn’t sure which side should be the top or the bottom. Shows I’ve never turned a Burl bowl before! Love the finish and the final look. So unique. Thanks for sharing.

That is a beauty Rick! I was not sure what to expect when you had to bleep something out. Glad it was a false alarm because I was thinking when you started what I might be cutting the cap off the big burl I have and make one of these. But I did not want to have to make a hole in mine LOL. For sure you have one here I want to copy! Gary

What an absolutely gorgeous bowl!! And a fabulous video with explosions and jokes and your awesome personality. So much fun to watch. Also how do you sharpen and get a burr on your negative rake scraper? I can never get mine to cut, it just seems to tear at the wood.
@RickTurnsWoodturning
3 жыл бұрын
Thank you, Art Mom. The scraper I used in the video was a regular scraper. I did try the negative rake scraper that I have, but it wasn’t cutting at all - maybe I need to sharpen it. I don’t use it very often - my experience with it is that it isn’t all that effective. I made a shear scraper tool that I use frequently (here’s a link to that video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lZupy9Gok83decY.html. I also shear scrape with my gouge and with my regular scraper and I find that does a very good job of removing tool marks, without tearing the grain.
