Cored set #1

[Jack Mincey]

This is the first set of bowls I cored from the oak burl. It was the smallest of 3 blanks I have to core. The largest bowl is just over 16" in dia. I have them in a plastic bag until I can turn them down to finished thickness and start drying them. I got 9 bowls from this blank 7 bark edge and 2 without bark that I cored off the bottom of the largest bowl.

What tool did you use? The results look good, were you happy with the use of the tool?

[Steve Schlumpf]

Wow! Are those ever going to be nice when finished! Looking forward to seeing that!

[Baxter Smith]

Those look great even now! What a perfect time to have a coring system!

[alex carey]

man this set is going to look great when you finish, looking forward to it.

[Curt Fuller]

Oh Man! That's going to be an incredible set of bowls!

[Jim Slovik]

Nice job. I bet you're coring system just paid for itself.

[David E Keller]

I don't know what's worse... my coring tool envy or my burl envy! Great looking stuff.

[Mike Minto]

firstly, WOW! way cool. and way to maximize great wood. never used a corer, may have to (if i ever get wood large enough). really great.

[Roland Martin]

Wow!! Really got some yeild out of that burl. Those are really going to look great all finished up.

[John Keeton]

Impressive!! Beautiful wood, and now, a lot more of it!!

For some reason, I just don't picture my Delta midi gettin' that job done!!

[Eric Kosanovich]

Vary nice!! So after you core them ... now how do you mount them on the lathe sorry if this sounds dumb.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Really nice Jack. Can't wait to see those finished.

[Jack Mincey]

Thanks everyone. my work is really just now starting on this set. I cored them with a OneWay coring system and love it. I put them in a plastic bag to keep them wet for the few days it will be until I get a chance to turn them to their finished thickness. To mount them I will reverse chuck each bowl and turn a small tenon on them and then mount the tenon in the chuck and turn them down. I will then put them in paper bags or card board boxes to dry and keep my fingers crossed.
Thanks again,
Jack

WOW Jack You sure got a lot of bowls from that burl, looks like the Oneway coring does pay for itself in no-time flat, how hard was it to core those bowls Jack ?? and how much time did it take you to do all those bowls ??.
Maybe I should get a corer for my lathe :cool:

[Jack Mincey]

Leo,
After roughing out the blank it took me just over one hour to core this set of 9 out. The OneWay system is very very easy to use. I turned them to finished thickness yesterday and all looks great so far. If you keep you eyes looking for a sale at Heartville Tool the system goes on sale from time to time and you can save some money if you do get the system. I payed for my coring system and made a little profit from the first set I cored with it.
Thanks again,
Jack

[Donny Lawson]

GREAT looking set of bowls.I think that coring system will make you alot of money in the future so you should be able to buy us all one right???:D Have fun and good luck on the bowls.

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Thanks for the reply Jack :D, I hope you will show some pictures of this set you did core :).
How long have you had the coring tools and what are the smallest/largest pieces you are able to make with the coring system :confused:

[Sean Ackerman NY]

AWESOME, I love that first picture with all of'em on the table

[charlie knighton]

super duper

[Gary Chester]

Yeow!!! That's a bunch of fine wood!!!

[Steve Vaughan]

Jack, did you do all the coring with one of the knife sets? Or, did you have to purchase a couple of the knife sets to core that many from the blank?

That's been my confusion about getting the oneway. The McNaughten looks like it would be a bit more flexible with 2 or 3 different knives with the system.

I've got a 16" swing, and figured that's what I would have to get with the oneway, but does that give me the capability to cut a number of different size cores under that? Thanks, and great looking cores there!

[Jack Mincey]

Thanks again, Steve you have to have all 4 knife sets to do this many bowl sizes. I can get up the 3 bowls from one knive sometimes but normally only get 2 from each blade. For a 16" lathe you might get by without the #4 kife set. Leo, I've had the system for over two years now, but it was easy to use right out of the box. You can core a tiny little bowl with the #1 set say around 4". I have the McNaughten set, but never use it. The oneway is just way easieir.
