Tips and Techniques
with Denver Sams"

ORDER VIDEOS

Learn how to turn natural edge bowls with the guidance of Denver Sams, a master woodturner and retired Purdue University professor.

Denver's work is shown regularly in juried art shows in Indiana, and as time allows he accepts individual students. Denver has studied with renowned woodturners Rudi Osolnik and Abe Harper.

In this 80-minute video Denver starts you at the beginning, with an overview of how to look at the raw chunk of wood and see the bowl inside.

He shows some of his finished pieces and talks about the variety of approaches you can take.

He covers safety, tool sharpening, and then puts a rough piece of wood on the lathe and begins turning.

Throughout the video he stops the action and points out "insider's" tips and techniques, such as how to move the bevel of the bowl gouge to conform with the contour of the cut.

He explains power sanding, fixing the inevitable cracks that show up during the process of turning natural edge bowls, and covers his favorite method of finishing using tung oil.

There are, of course, many approaches to natural edge bowl turning, but Denver's intent with this video program is to give you one straightforward method to get you started.
