Segmented Bowl
This is a commissioned bowl for a birthday present for the wife of a friend of mine. Her name is Leslie and her nickname is sometimes L$ so the thought was to abstract this into a pattern for a decorative ring of a segmented bowl. The L was easy to making into segmented wood pieces but the $ took a little more work. What I ended up with is a series of triangles forming an abstracted $. The bowl is made with walnut for the darker wood and hard maple for the lighter wood. It is made with twelve segments, and is about 14 inches in diameter.
You seem to use walnut a bunch; any reason, or just like it? It's probably my favorite wood.
I don't know why, but your profile picture reminds me of You Don't Know Jack.
Beautiful
Hermoso!
Do you always have end grain facing in and out of the bowl?
i have a question:
what do you think, is it possilble to make a bowl with chisels. because i do not have lathe, but i have a table saw so i can make the segments and glue them together. but possilble or nor not?
Fantastic
Man that's second to none One nice bowl
I want to hang out with you.
You work, is very beautiful!!! Congratulation!!!
if i can get all tool tou have , for sure i cam make it ….jajaja
you are a master
, its prestigious art
This guy is next level.
Here's an idea, make another bowl like this but only turn the inside, and leave the outside as-is, the pattern looks really great when it has corners.
I know this is an older video, but no less cool. I like the details of the lamination.
Frank is truely a master of masters!!!
frank ive been watching ur videos ur are my favorite u get to the point and dont over explain ur projects. one question wh do u have three tablesaws just wondering
Excellent work!
Iam bad in english but must to say you are artiest
Damn, it's beautiful.
sobrang ganda sir. ikaw ang pinaka magaling sa wood turning na nakita ko dito sa Youtube.
I gotta watch some more of your videos.
excelente trabajo Frank!! te admiro!
Nice video editing sir!!! Its cool..
Boa noite frank gostaria de saber quanto custa este trabalho segmentos de madeira.
Not sure what's more impressive, your wood working or your editing
hermoso su trabajo, es un arte lo que usted hace saludos desde argentina!!!!! pdt: que es lo que usa como acabado final? es un aceite o un barniz?gracias por hacer publico su saber!!
those vids are so damn good i cant even handle it.
Binge watch netflix? Ohhh noooo… Frank is the new breaking bad.. without all that bad stuff… lol
Can I run the rings through a planer? I don't have a drum sander and it seems like each of my rings has at least one or two pieces that are slightly higher than the others.
Every time I hear you (Frank) say the phrase 'turned out' I laugh a little because that's exactly what it did- it turned. Recent subscriber, interested in woodwork and videography, absolutely stunned
Frank,always perfect….Congratulations from Brasil.
These videos so much fun to watch. I get a sense that frank is a hard working guy. I feel like these videos are actually funny. Like a comedic tone to them. It's like a movie, it's so entertaining. Brilliant work, beautiful shop, great camera angles, pacing, voice work. Those stop motion segments! MAN! These are quality videos.
If I understand this correctly, The feature ring is now exposing end grain. I am trying this and my gouge is just throwing dust. Is that normal? I love segmented rings because of the littl twists do wood that come off. I almost need to move my lathe outside to finish this bowl. Thoughts?
You are the Akira Kurosawa of wood lathe film making.
magnificent….
The beauty of this bowl is rivaled only by that of the video…
for some reason I can imagine people making shuttles, airplanes, and so many other technologies but for some reason these kind of arts make me think to my self that wether humans are capable of making such beautiful pieces
very nice
I love these!
Good evening. I am very grateful for the videos posted. I see how nice and nice the art you develop .. I am very interested in learning the technique and orientation … thank you for your work. A big hug
This is so good on so many levels! I love the stuff that you make, I'm completely in love with your shop and your tools selection (I live in a one room apartment, I can't even have a table saw). I love your taking us through your process and the way you film it, I love your editing and last but not least, I love your voice too 😀 I really, really hope you get some monetizing from us viewing these videos, since that's the very least we can do as thanks!
Also, that Death Star looks so lonely without its' Super Star Destroyer friend, don't you think? =)
By the way, those big red clamps that you use, never seen such ones over here in Scandinavia, what are they (maker and model)?
I was really mad but his voice is somfunny
wow awesome
