- I show my method of turning a Birds Mouth Bowl, after being inspired by a video from Ernie Conover.

I'm going to show this to my brother, who has literal acres of invasive Red Cedar on his property. He's been building custom designer furniture using it, as it has a beautiful creamy-white wood with a bright rusty-red heart-wood. The only problem with it is the trunks and branches tend to be narrow (often twisty) and branches occur all along the trunk, right down to the ground. If you can find a thick trunk, however, the multitude of "red eyes" in the wood is very attractive. I think I have come across another thing he can use that beautiful wood for--as it chokes out nearly everything else on his property, so he's keen on getting rid of it. Thank you for the idea, sir, that is a nice bowl!
Glad you found the video of some use, and thank you for watching.
Thanks Mike...every time I watch one of your videos I get excited about going out and chucking up some wood. And, as a beginner, I appreciate the little tips and reminders you throw in from time to time. Cheers! Karl
Thanks for another tutorial. Can’t wait to turn more. I love turning green pieces.
Glad you liked it Jez, wet wood is great fun ... messy ... but great fun ;)
Take care
Mike
Hi Mike, once again a brilliant demonstration! I’ll be giving that a go very soon! Keep turning, Dave
Thank you Dave
Cheers
Mike
Great video. I enjoy the fact that you spent the video time showing the technique and not wasting time on sanding, etc.
Thank you Doug, much appreciated.
Cheers
Mike
I also like that you left the bark on. It adds a whole new dimension to the project, a project that I will try to replicate. Thank You.
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Thanks for the great how-to! I tried it and it turned out great, and I have now done several. Your videos are a great resource
Glad you found the video useful Tony.
Hi Mike, as always your style of getting the information across to your viewers is great, a lovely little project!
Thanks Mark, much appreciated
Cheers
Mike
Great video and amazing tutorial. Really enjoy your filming and narration style!! Thanks for the upload! Keep em coming!!!
Hi "J", and thank you so much for your kind words, they are much appreciated.
Take care
Mike
What a nice project. Gonna try it tomorrow. Thanks Mike.
Nice one Mike. They are fun to turn and as you say, a nice quick product that can hone ones turning skills. Thanks.
Thanks Jim, they are great fun, and as you say hone your tool technique into the bargain :)
Cheers
Mike
Hello dear friend Mike, I am passionate about turning and I have been following your videos and trajectory for a long time and the truth is that every day I learn more, I follow you from Malaga SPAIN
Hi Salavador, and thank you for your kind words, and support.
Take care my friend
Mike
I watched Ernie on Wed morning and was also inspired. I took a piece of Apricot to my club meet on Wed afternoon. Unfortunately there were too many stress cracks through the wood and had to abandon it. I will try again in the next week with a piece of Jacaranda. Yes, I agree the bark adds to the bowl. Very nice, I hope my attempt next week succeeds
My Bowl turned out very nice, Even with a bit of bark inclusion. I think I will do more in the future.
I'm sure it'll be a success Peter, best of luck with the demo mate.
Glad to hear you succeeded Peter, and sorry for the late responses ... real life gets in the way sometimes :)
Take care
Mike
Nice work Mike !! And I don't know way I love that you let is as natural you can !! Thanks for sharing Mike !!
Thank you Kostas, sometimes natural is best ... well most of the time ;)
Cheers
Mike
Wow, you make it look so easy. I’m going to try to make one. It looks like it’s fun. Thank you for the lesson.
It's a fun project to turn Eddie
Cheers
Mike

Thank you Buster I'm very happy to hear that you liked the video.

This channel (and several others like it) have such a rich history of great content. I got a Laguna midi for Christmas and started on my first project straight away :)
Enjoy your new lathe Zio.
That looks like a lot of fun to make :) Thanks for sharing Mike!
Very nice video demonstrating how to do this. Thanks Mike.
Thank you Michael much appreciated.
Excellent, nice little piece, I’m gonna have a look through my stock of logs and turn one or two my self, thanks for the inspiration my friend...
Cheers...
Thank you Adam, glad you've been inspired, as I was after watching Earnie's video :)

Thanks for another great video. I will be going out to wood pile to see what I can use. Seems to be a nice little project with good results in a short time. I’m looking forward to making one.
Glad you were inspired Dan, as I was by Ernie's video.
Take care
Mike
Great bowl, you inspire me to try different projects. Thank you
Thanks John, glad you liked it.
Cheers
Mike
Thanks Mike I enjoyed watching that, as a fairly new woodturner I am always surprised how quickly green wood starts to move when you start to hollow. As always I appreciate you sharing your experience with us.
glad you liked the video Cliff, wet turned wood sometimes has a mind of its own ;)
Cheers
Mike
good job mike, i have done a couple of these myself, but i used a different approach,. always good to find another way to experiment with.
Thanks Bob, as they say, there's more than one easy to skin a cat ;)
Thanks for watching
Cheers
Mike
Great video as always Mike. I'm now off to workshop to give this a go! I do agree with the previous comment regarding being able to see how you present the tools to the wood.
Thanks Jamie, point noted, and wrists soundly slapped! ;)
Take care, and thanks for commenting and watching.
Cheers
Mike
It's always a great idea. The finished vase looks original))) 👍👍👍
Thanks Mike
Cheers
Mike

LOL ... so ... you watched me three times ... then saw how it should be done eh ;)
Thanks for watching Billy
Take care

Very nice project and great thing about it like you mention is that natural features of the log will impact the result. Thank you for sharing mike I will check out Earnie too.

I've go a piece of Beach I didn't know what to do with, Thanks for the idea for it now. should be fun !
I did try this, it turned out ok, that video is up if you'd like to see that, my skill level is lacking to say the least, only been turning a couple months now, watching your how to videos now, Thanks for those they are Awesome.
Such a cool form. I'll definitely be giving this a try.
They are great fun to turn Stuart, and thanks for watching mate.
Cheers
Mike
Great video mike .. these are my favourite type of projects .. i loved the way you decided to leave the bark on right at the last minute. Lovely little piece ... i really need to work on my hollowing skills . This kind of project is perfect for it .. time to pop into the log drier to find a chunk of wood i think ...
Thank you Pete, enjoy mate, they are fun to turn.
Take care
Mike
I always enjoy your videos my friend, you are very good with instructions and super talented. I tried this and had success thanks to your video! Thank you for taking the time and making these, keep up the good work! 👍🙏
Hi Dylan, I am so pleased to hear that the video was of some use, and great to hear you turned your own as well.
Take care
Mike
Mike Waldt Your videos are always very helpful to both beginners and pros, keep turning! 👍
Loved the video mike, will be trying it soon
Pete
I have no idea what I was talking about. I thought you did everything great. I watched the video again and it didn't jog my memory. I love your videos!
Lol ... you had me worried there mate ;)

Great demonstration Mike!
Take care mate
Thank you Carl .. see you both soon mate :)
Cheers
Mike
Love it Mate! A brilliant and inspirational demonstration !
Cheers Mike, Bram
Thanks Bram, appreciate you stopping by mate.
Cheers
Mike
Very inspiring, Mike! I will be making a few of these very soon... One suggestion re: camera placement. It would be good to have a view from the tool side so that we could see how you present it to the wood... Very nice, regardless. Thank you!
Ely
Thank you Ely, and thanks too for the suggestion, I do try and show the tools presentation, but on this occasion I forgot ... my bad totally ;)
Take care, and thanks for your input, much appreciated
Mike
Another great video Mike, it reminds me of BB8 from star wars. Thanks again for your wonderful videos.
Thanks Mike, yes at a stretch I can see BB8 too ;)
Take care
Mike
Awesome as always!
Great tutorial. Some else for me to try.
Thank you Troy
Take care
Mike
Just watched Ernie's vid. What a charming gentleman. If you're watching and you haven't got a chuck Ernie shows you how to make a glue chuck so you can make this just with an existing face plate. Worth seeing the original along with Mike's excellent vid.
Earnie is a very talented turner and demonstrator, and a great source of inspiration Ray
Cheers
Mike
Turned out great Mike 👍
Thank you Sir
Cheers
Mike
nice idea Mike, looks interesting and ill give this ago at the weekend, thanks mike!

Thank you Mr. Widdle, much appreciated
Take care

Love it Mike! At last some items I can try on my tiny Coronet Model 0.
Thank you again Aeneas, enjoy making them :)
Cheers
Mike
Great tutorial, as usual, everything you need , nothing you don’t.
Thank you Louis.
Great video! I tried it today with a piece of green birch. Thank god i used a shield in front of the lathe because i hade a really violent crack and the bowl flew up in my face. It would be helpfull if you showed the tool you’re using for different parts of your projects. I have some lathe tools but i don’t know exactly wich tool is best for a specific task. Thanks for posting inspiring videos!
A truly inspirational project! Looks like it was a lot of fun to turn. Can't wait to give it a try, but first i need to buy a chuck :( . Keep up the great videos. :D
Thank you, you don't need a chuck to turn these, go watch Earnie's video (link in the description), his demo doesn't use one. Or watch my mini series of No Chuck - No Problem.
Take care
Mike
Hola Don Mike lo saludo desde San Luis Argentina lo sigo a usted muy lindo sus trabajos
Loved that one Mike. Gunna try one tomorrow. Cheers mate.
Thank you Noel, you'll have fun turning these I assure you :)
Cheers
Mike
I turned two, one from silver birch and one from stringy bark gum. They turned out a treat.
Well done, Mike! That turned out much better than mine!
Thank you Rick, yours was all good in the end :)
Cheers
Mike
Nice ash Mike! 😁 No seriously.. love it!! See you soon!
LMAO ... thanks Heath. Looking forward to finally meeting you mate.
Cheers
Mike
Great idea. Loved it
Thanks Brent.
I will start my third one tomorrow. First one blew up second one stinks and is fire wood. Love your videos.
Good luck Billy - persevere my friend - and you WILL overcome ;)
Take care

Great video, Mike. Lovely little unusual bowl. Nice little project. Those Hope tools are excellent aren’t they? Work even better in the capable hands of a Master!
Thank you Graham, They are great tools mate, and I suppose they would ... but I wouldn't know anything about that mate :)
Cheers
Mike
Thanks Mike. I've got a few pieces of Hawthorn and Lellandi knocking around to have a go at this.
Glad you're going to have a go my friend.
Cheers
Mike
Amazing and beautiful!
Thanks again Billy
Cheers
Mike
As always, great learning video Mike, cheers mate..👍🏼...I can imaging 3 or 4 smaller versions of this to place in a nest that you could also turn, a nest full of little hungry mouths 😊
Thank you Marc .. and a great idea too :)
Cheers
Mike
I am going to demo this for our Club Saturday. Thanks for showing the process. Wish me luck. It will be on Zoom if you would like to watch.
Great vid mike, I’m almost inspired enough to brave the cold in my workshop and have a go... might go David's though :)
Thank you Glyn, thought you'd end up going to David's nice cosy, AND well stocked workshop ... lol ;)
Cheers mate
Mike
Nice video Mike, thanks again. I have a number of pieces of timber just that shape, so out to the workshop asap. Just a comment if I may. With regard to your comment about the shape at the bottom of the piece, I was surprised that you parted it off as the shape was fine as it was on the chuck. I would have removed it from the chuck as it was and sanded the bottom off. Smashing little pot never the less. Thanks again for your videos, they are an inspiration.
Thanks David, as I explained I too would have made a smaller "base" but the demo was about the technique not the finished pieces shape as such. But I thank you for your comment, and I wholeheartedly agree with you.
take care, and enjoy turning some of them
Mike
As always another awesome video
Thank you Mike
Cheers
Mike
Good video thanks for sharing, my garbage man knocked a branch off my oak last week. Now I think I will cut a piece off and give this a go your video was motivating.
Thank you Lionel, have fun turning it, and thank the garbage man too ;)
Cheers
Mike
Well done mate.
Thank you Charles.
Very informative video thanks and keep em coming

The Bispham Woodturner
Thanks David.
I like it. Great job
Thank you.
G'day Mike once again "Thank you". Fantastic wee project to stimulate the juices. Your Evolution chuck looks impressive - looking at a replacement and wondered ?
Glad you liked the video Ray.
Awesome little project, Mike. Quick and easy to do and looks great. I do have a question however. I have not done much in the way of actual hollowing and was wondering what your recommendation for a first time hollowing would be. Thanks, Dan.
Thanks Donald. You can - with a little practice - hollow small pieces with a spindle or bowl gouge, I do have a video on different methods. However, I now use the Hope 6mm Mini Carbide Hollower, as my prefered tool.
here's the link if your interested:

Hope this helps

Great demo Mike :) I like the effect of leaving bark on the sides too. Some of the original character of the tree to look at :) ॐ
Thank you Mr. Yogi, very much appreciated
Cheers
Mike
