Rick, I’ve had very mixed luck with sycamore. It seems particularly susceptible to ring shake, where the wood actually fractures inside the tree along annular rings. Results just like you had here. Sometimes you can see it on the end of the log and decide whether and how large, it will be possible to turn something from it. Always entertaining and informative to watch you. Thanks!

I had a piece I was working on yesterday that cracked apart but I made a mistake of turning the lathe back on without checking my tool rest clearance and I was almost finished with it and all I heard was a bunch of cracks and pops and that was that, threw it off the lathe and broke it totally in half 😵‍💫😣

I’m sorry your project fell apart. I’m new to wood turning. I’ve not seen placing the log in the lathe the way you have. I wasn’t sure you could turn a bowl in the end grain. What are the pros and cons. If I may ask.

@RickTurnsWoodturning

2 жыл бұрын

Turning a bowl end-grain isn’t very common, but it can be done. It can give an interesting grain pattern, and will sometimes give you a larger taller bowl than using half the log. On the negative side, you’re turning end-grain while hollowing, which is generally more difficult than regular bowl turning which is side grain. Also, turning end-grain usually leaves a lot more torn grain.
