Hi. My name is Don Adams & I am very much a retired, disabled former Senior Master of Art (teacher) from South Australia & in my old age I have developed a real love of wood turning. I have never really done much wood turning, a little when I was teaching & had access to a lathe in the Woodwork Centre. I majored in Sculpture & Design among other things. I find watching good woodturning very relaxing with my constant pain. Very enjoyable watching you work this old piece of Mahogany. I certainly would not be upset with the 'salvage' job. Very well executed & I think it enhances the Mahogany. Cheers & thanks from Don in South Aust.
I appreciate the kind words Don, I am glad this helps you! Thank you for watching and taking the time to share, I appreciate it!
I think it's a beautiful bowl. Turned out well. Thanks for sharing your woodworking with all of us, who love wood.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Great example how to recover and still create a beautiful piece!!!
Thanks Mike, it worked out ok!
Well done...they say there's a solution for every problem...
I like the 2 tone pedestal look...
Nice to see ya...🌿🌿🌿
Thank you Pamela, I appreciate it!
Its cool how you recovered from a 'funnel bowl' to a mahogany walnut nowl. Its very pretty too!
Thanks!
Thank you Texana, I appreciate you watching!
I think the ooops added beauty to this piece really enjoyed watching you create this beautiful bowl
Thank you Rich, I appreciate it!
Very nice. I liked the contrast of the walnut from the fix with the rest of the bowl.
Thank you , I appreciate it!
I can relate to your pleasure over that piece of wood! Several years ago I found an old lacquered board in the back of a closet in a dumpy little studio apartment I rented in Ottawa near the University of Ottawa. Years later I stripped the wood down and sanded the finish down to bare wood. A co-worker who builds furniture looked at the wood and could not identify it - he suspected it was a slab of south american hardwood though. It had a hypnotic grain that took stain in an almost holographic manner Cannot think of any other way to describe the grain - it was spectacular though! I ultimately lost the board when my home burned down, and I regret never identifying the wood. Wish I still had it so I could have asked you to craft it into a unique piece. Such a treat to have been gifted an old piece of mahogany! ETA: Very useful to see how to salvage a piece that doesn't go exactly as planned. Lessons like that are hard-won in the shop in the first-person!
It is always nice to find something like that! Unfortunate they it was destroyed, more unfortunate that your house burned. Thank you for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman I could never take up woodturning as a hobby because I am disabled. But I pick up on so many little tips and pointers from watching your videos, it is incredibly rewarding to tag along on your own journey!
I really liked the project and the new base was a good added feature. I saw how dusty it was and hope you wore a mask!👍👍👍
Thank you Eric! I absolutely wear a mask!
i think it looks great as a two peice. One thing i always admire in your videos is how few passes you take to turn a bowl shape. i'd be farting around for 3x as long for the same thing. Amazing toolmanship!
Thank you J B, I appreciate it!
Wow Lewis. I actually do like the extra color. I know it was from incident but I really do. It adds pizzazz. Thanks for sharing your time with us. Stay safe, Vickie
Thank you Vickie, it wasn’t the goal but an acceptable outcome! Thank you for watching!
I like this one a lot, the base is different but gorgeous.
Thank you EG, I appreciate you watching!
And I thought I was alone. Great looking bowl as usual. I really did enjoy seeing your 'failure' and how you reserected (sp?) it. Too many turner's, cabinetmakers, hunting videos, etc never show a failure. Experienced Turner's know the truth, not every piece goes as desired. Bowls crack, chip, have digs, badly torn grain and some actually blow up. With young turner's and some who are new to this amazing 'hobby' get down on themselves and believe they are the only ones who have failures. I wish more people would show and explain their failures and even how they were able to save it, if they did.
So long story short KUDOS to you!! Sorry for the 'rant'.
Thanks Peter! No sense in hiding whats going on, especially if you are trying to help people as well as entertain. Thank you for watching!
Loved the out come, probably even better than if it had been one piece. Learning loads from your vidio thank you.
I agree Pat, unfortunately it happens, fortunately not often! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful bowl, beautiful problem solving! Thanks for sharing! ✌️❤️🍻🖖
Thank you Jack, I appreciate you watching!
Great save, beautiful bowl!👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you James!
Turned out too be a beautiful bowl. With regard to using timber from boats, quite often the wood is treated to prevent marine wood worm. A friend of mine was given some old wood engine bed and when he started to turn it the dust was full of arsenic and he ended up in hospital fighting for his life. Kind of highlights the importance of dust extraction and masks. I very much enjoy your videos. Cheers from west Australia
Thank you Deno! Nothing treated in this wood. Thanks for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman You are most welcome. I'm learning a lot from your videos. I have been learning wood turning for about 4 months and am enjoying your work very much.
The wood is beautiful. Great recovery and a stunning piece.
Thanks Jiggsy! I watching your bandsaw box video earlier, will leave a comment later. Nice job
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman thank you. I'm currently still making my way through my very long watch list.
Not that I am happy about the hole in the bottom, but I'm glad I'm not the only one. :) The fix was fantastic.
Thank you Richard, it was a first for me!
Great save Lewis, looks good 👍👍
Thank you Douglas! I would have like to to just been the 100 year old wood but you do what you have to!
For some reason, this video has made me think more about why woodturning feels so similar to my prior ceramics experience. I usually feel like the sculpture of a man carving himself out of a giant rock, when I am turning. Ceramics feels more like building and turning feels like creative destruction. But I am a hand builder. I don't use the wheel and maybe that is why I didn't make the connection sooner. This bowl made me think about the "trimming" phase of throwing a bowl. Slicing out the tight form from the rough bowl shape. That being said, it's a very nice bowl. I've wondered about old barn beams and figured that this would probably be similar in hardness.
Thank you Dan. Where I live bars beans are softwood but I have seen people turning beams from the States that were all manner of hardwood and very hard. Thank You for watching!
Thanks for sharing this fix, nice work. Smithers, BC
Thank you Rick, I appreciate you watching!
Definitely a thumbs up 👍. Would have been a pretty bowl before, but I really like the Walnut contrast. Very well done fix!
Thank you Bob, I was happy with it but would have preferred it without the fix!
Great save and cool looking bowl
Thanks so much Curtis!
I'm a great fan of twin timber blends - Bravo
Glad you likes it Luciano! I appreciate you watching!
Absolutely beautiful!! If you pour rubbing alcohol on the hot glue it will soften it up and you can peal it off like silicone. Still a perfect bowl, love the different wood colors.
Thank you! The glue was in a hard spot to get at as the block is concave. I do use rubbing alcohol to remove glue often in other situations, works great! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing this Lewis I learn something new everyday 👍
I’m sorry I was the teacher this time Steve! Thanks for watching!
The Klondike Craftsman I would of felt the same as you but didn't have the know how to finish it now I do 👍
Nice save and it looks beautiful .
Thank you Ahron, I appreciate it!
Helpful video. Thanks so much for sharing it. Still looks beautiful.
Thank you Mandy, I appreciate it!
I think the opps added to the bowl's beauty! Sometimes an opps can turn out better than we expect. It is a lovely piece!
I’m not displeased with it by any means other than is isn’t just a 100 year old piece anymore. Thank you for watching Jane!
The walnut makes the grain of the mahogany pop, and serves as contrast to a monochromatic bowl. It is a very great looking bowl.
Thank you Harry, I appreciate it!
Great looking bowl well done 👌👍
Thanks William!
Beautiful bowl.
Thank you Jack!
Great recovery!!
Thank you Mark!
Ich schaue mir viele Videos an , aber so wie Du drechselst das hat mich gefesselt!! Du drechselst so ästhetisch ich kann das kaum beschreiben 👍👍👍 wirklich fantastisch!!!! Leider ist mein Englisch schlecht 👎 aber ich hoffe das es übersetzt werden kann . Einfach mega . Lg aus Duisburg 🇩🇪
Danke, es ist perfekt ubersetzt! Ich schatze deine worte.
Great save!
Thank you Chuck!
Now that was a great save, Lewis! No one would believe that it was not planned to be like that. It’s absolutely gorgeous and my wife thinks it has a real beautiful Japanese feel to it. She also wants me to ask you what the music was that you were using for this video. She liked it a lot and my only fear is that I may never get to listen to rock ‘n’ roll again! LOL! Great video, buddy! You never fail to please! 😃😃😃👍👍👍
Thank you Gord! The only issue I have is that it isn’t a 100 year old piece from a ship anymore! The music is all from the CZcams audio library, I sort by the category “calm”. There is 5 or 6 pieces on this video. You can never stop listening to rock and roll buddy! Thanks for watching!
The walnut makes it, its beautiful,
Thank you Sue!
Nice save!
Thank you Eileen, I appreciate it!
It's a very nice bowl Lewis it looks great and it's very beautiful well done bye cu in the next video bye.
Thank you Laurence!
Nice work, good save.
Thank you Terry!
Hello, it was a pleasant video, congratulations, I wish you continued success👍🏻☺️
Thank you so much!
Great to see that these things don’t just happen to me 😆 great fix, and a beautiful end result, thanks!
Thank you Paully! It doesn’t happen often but it does happen! I appreciate you watching!
Love the finished bowl, thanks for showing the recovery process. Not quite sure if l have enough left to recover my "halo" as the base will make a nice ring dish, l might just leave it at that.
Haha, I hope it works out for you! Thanks for watching!
Well done sir! Very informative - Thank You
Thank you Joel!
Looking good. Congrats on hitting the 10K mark.
Thank you Dave, I appreciate it!
Looks great!
Thank you Billy!
Great save !! I think I like it better than just the sappelli
Thanks Ron!
Very nice job.
Thank you!
Good save
Thanks William!
Nice recovery,pretty looking little bowl, enjoyed
Thanks Brent! Have to show the bad with the good buddy! Thank you for watching!
Nicely done! It’s funny how the bowl always reveals itself despite your initial plan! Thanks for sharing!
Yes Steve, makes you wonder who is in charge! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful
Thanks Bobby!
Watching your videos are very relaxing and mesmerising. The music is gorgeous and relaxing too. I think you did that old wood proud. It looked very dusty. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️
Thank you Wendy! I appreciate you watching! Take care!
ah, so its not just me that buggers things up right at the end, nice recovery ;-)
You are not alone Ed! Thank you for watching
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Jean!
That’s some beautiful wood. Nice recovery. That falls under the “crap happens” category
Yes it does Mark! Thanks for watching!
beautiful
Thank you!
Nice save! I think it looks great with the walnut, beautiful bowl.
Thank you Lindsay! I appreciate you watching!
Nice repair for one of those things that happens from time to time. I’ve done 2 almost identically recently. They can certainly be even better than originally intended. Well done.
Thank you Doug! My issue is that it isn’t just the 100 year old mahogany anymore! Thanks for watching buddy!
Beautiful...I love making something from old wood that has a special meaning. I made a chimney cabinet from 100+ year old Southern Yellow Pine that was used as the wall studs in the science building for Milton College in Wisconsin.
Very cool! It does have an allure for sure! Thank you for watching Carol!
No mistakes! DESIGN MODIFICATIONS!!!
I’ll take that sure! Thank you for watching!
Beautiful bowl. It may be a design change, but still very, very nice! Well done!
Thank you Dave,! I’ve taken a hundred bowls off that way and never had an issue except for when I didn’t know enough to go with the grain. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful bowl, I’ve got a funnel to fix, thanks for sharing .
I’m sorry I had to be the one to show you Tony! Thanks for watching!
Dang decent save!!! Bummer the wood had to split. Must be some serious "kick-ass"hot melt glue you use!!!
Thanks Gayle! I’d been funnel free my entire turning life but I guess this counts as the first!
I find sanding in reverse helps with end grain issues. The bowl looks really nice. Take care and stay safe.
Thank you! I typically change directions with each grit. Thanks for watching!
Looks good. Unfortunate that it needed a fix, but the woods look good together and I don't think that it looks like a fix. Just looks like a design choice ! 👍😊
Thank you! My only real issue with it is that it isn't a 100 year old piece any longer. Other than that its just fine. Thank you for watching!
Always wondered what happened when she got a little thin. Beautiful bowl!!
I was fine until it splintered. I’ve never actually turned through one yet. I guess the streak is broken! Thanks for watching!
i found a plank of oak in the sea that had been sunk there 70 years ago. it's from an old transport platform in the 1800's. haven't dared to use it, i've only been turning for a year so i'm afraid of failure when turning it. it’s 18 feet times 2 feet and 3 inches thick so I get a lot of turning done on it sometimes
That is very cool! Certainly lots of wood to work with! Thank you for watching!
Well done and well saved 👏. It looks like sapele but you would have enjoyed the fragrance whilst turning.
Thank you Joseph! I turned Sapele a few weeks ago, this is lighter and smells different. Thank you for watching!
Olá Boa noite meu amigo eselenti trabalho muito bom mesmo obrigado
Obrigada!
Nice..
Thank you Greg, I appreciate it!
A beautiful save! I just had a similar thing happen to me with a nice walnut piece, and I had put it aside to think about saving it. My first thought was to go in from inside the bowl with a contrasting wood, basically creating a mortise in the bottom of the bowl and turning the insert to fit. I like your idea better, although because it’s a live edge it isn’t round and I have no idea how I would hold it on the chuck to finish the bottom.
That is a tough one! Ideally a vacuum chuck on live edge, but that doesn’t work with a hole in it! Perhaps hotmelt on a sacrificial block? Good luck and Thames for watching!
Looks like the glue was not set completely before you started to turn the added walnut. Could have been dangerous to the project! But nicely recovered and a beautiful "No, that's what I intended to do" project.
Thanks Robert, the glue on the contact surfaces was left plenty long to set, just the squeeze out that was soft. It certainly wasn’t what I intended to do but I’m ok with the result. Thanks for watching.
Nice fix for the boo boo.
Thank you Greg, I appreciate it!
Great recovery, with the embellishment it looks “as designed”.
Thank you! I’m not unhappy with the piece but would have liked it to just have been the 100 year old wood. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful creation👍👍👍 even with all the issues. From one canuck to another next time you are working with 100 year old wood please use your hot glue removal protocol LOL 😁😁😁🙄
Noted! Torch and putty knife next time! Thanks for watching!
Or at least THE PARTING TOOL! I cringed when he brought the chisel out!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman - try your parting tool. Thats the whole idea of the “sacrificial glue block” ...
I’ve done loads of bowl this way without incident. Just a brittle piece.
Great save! Beautiful bowl, but I would have turned it into a pedestal bowl.
Thank you James! I appreciate you watching!
I know nothing about wood turning but couldn’t you have filled in the whole after you got it flat with sawdust and CA glue? Great bowl. Love the mahogany 👍👍
There wasn’t anything to back the glue and sawdust to, just a hole. Thank you for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman Ohhhh I guess I missed that it went all the way through. My eyes aren’t the greatest. So yes I can understand that. Sorry. But the bowl turned out great and I like how you explain through the video 👍👍
Have you thought about doing a bowl with in a bowl. Like a chip and dip server?
I have made them in the past and also nut dishes with a center pedestal hollowed out to hold cracker and pick. Thanks for watching Marc!
Beautiful save Lewis, when you first finished the outside there wasn't much of a shine does the fact you didn't use sand and sealer have anything to do with it? When using hot melt glue try using DNA, it softens the glue and you can peel it off. Cheers Geoff
Thanks! I don't find sealer changes the luster actually. I do use DNA an/or isopropyl on hotmelt but 99 times out of 100 that technique works great. I appreciate you watching.
I just made a nice garden bench out of two ship hatches, and I can assure you it is not Mahogany. Some were made out of a particular Pine, but yours is not Pine either. I'll get back to you.
I am interested to know why you think. Thank you for watching!
Nice save! It looked like you aligned the grain on the walnut with the bowl, would it be ok to cross grain, whether as a repair or multiple layers of different woods?
Thank you Lewis, (great name by the way)! You can absolutely cross grain and layer if you choose. Thank you for watching!
Would wood glue have been stronger then hot glue? It’s a beautiful piece
Wood glue is stronger than hot melt for sure. I glued the Walnut with wood glue. The hotmelt was only used to mount to the lathe. Thank you for watching!
Beautiful bowl! As a new turner, It's good for me, to see how you fixed the bottom!
As for the wood being 100yrs old, it's probably more like 200-300 yrs old, considering how old the tree was when it was cut down. For example, check out my 500-1000 yr old Birch Bentwood rings, on my channel
Thank you! This is the first bottom fix in 25 years! I will certainly check out your rings. I’ve only ever made one and it is on the channel. Was a special one. Thank you for watching!
Nice repair work on the project brother. Not sure the type of wood either but it looks exactly like 3 pieces I recently pulled from a pallet. My first thought was also mahogany and was pleasantly surprised to find such beautiful wood in a pallet. Would you please tell me the grind you have on the gouge you used?
Thanks and again good job.

Thank you ! I have a standard grind made on a Wolverine jig. It is 40-45 degrees. Thank you for watching!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman thanks. It must be the angle of the camera that had me thinking the angle was greater than 55. I've got an extra 1/2" and maybe experiment with that grind tomorrow. I have really started to use a 40/40 more every day. Thanks again.
Looks like you are a fan of the Canadian made General woodworking equipment. Is your lathe a 260?
Yes, my equipment is either General or General International. The lathe is a 26020vs. Thanks for watching!
bottom gouge for all the turning... never seen that before.
I’m not sure what a bottom gouge grind angle is but this is 40-45 degrees done on a Wolverine jig. I think the camera makes it look more steep than it is. Thanks for watching Jon!
جميل جدا حقا انت بارع
اشكرك!
Use rubbing alcohol to get the hot glue to let go.
I do use rubbing alcohol to clean up glue but the glue holding the was in the concave of the sacrificial block. Thank you for watching Chris!
👏👏👏👍🤗
Thank you!
I’ve heard of using shellac how you seem to be using the salad bowl oil but it’s usually referred to as stiffening the grain. Is this the same function you’re looking for?
Hey Victor! Shellac does stiffen grain yes. What I am doing with oil is softening it so it will cut with out tearing out. It also quickens sanding. Something an old timer taught me in the 90s. Thank you for watching!
I have a question. I have a small, basic lathe with no way to attach a chuck or face plate. Do you have any suggestions for good projects that could sell?
If you look on my channel at videos in “project that sells” series there are several that require only a spur drive. Hope that helps!
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman thank you!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Valerie!
Did you receive my earlier comment? I have the answer to what kind of wood your bowl is.
I saw that you said it wasn’t pine. I didn’t get an opinion on what it might be. I am quite certain it is mahogany though. It wasn’t part of the ship but was used as skids for cargo.
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman , probably not mahogany, but I did do some more research and found out that it has a high likely hood of being Cypress. Back in the day, this wood was used a lot around the docks. It is also decay resistant. I hope this helps.
Too bad it’s not a 100 yr old anymore
Exactly Michael! That was my only disappointment. Thank you for watching!
nothing special
Thanks for the feedback
boring
Thanks for the feedback
