Follow professional woodtturner Mike Mahoney through the process of producing beautiful, functional kitchenware from a fallen tree. Mike gives an overview of finding wood, layout and cutting blanks for best yield and figure, rough turning and drying the blank. Also covered are various chucking techniques, how to re-turn the blank along with sanding and recommended finishes for bowls intended for use with food. A detailed discussion on design, proportion and suggested sizes best suited for kitchen use will help you produce bowls that perform as good as they look. Also included in Mike¹s video is a demonstration on the proper use of the McNaughton System (used for cutting multiple bowls from a single blank), proper tool sharpening and an explanation of how Mike uses his home-made vacuum system. The many "tips and tricks" covered in the video are useful for woodturners of all skill levels.

Mike Mahoney is a very skilled turner and he can turn a bowls faster than anyone I've seen,but his technique scares the hell out of me.
Excellent DVD. Very good closeups of the tool work.
Great step by step instruction. Mike is a master at what he does! Picked up some great bowl turning tips.
This was an exceptionally clear, well-edited video. Mike Mahoney gives a lot of helpful information without much chitchat or filler. Any turner interested in producing practical woodenware would get something useful out of this film.
I really enjoyed this DVD, while not rocket science I really learned from the close up shots of using the edges of the chisels and the angles to hold to scrape or cut. PS I have never turned a bowl in my life so all is helpful Sound quality is a little weak at times, but video is very good.
