Sapper Woodworking

Welcome to Sapper Woodworking! We're a small husband and wife shop working together to come up with Most of our woods are sourced from trees grown in Indiana.

All products on Sapper Woodworking are handmade in our small Indiana wood shop. Some of our lumber is processed ourselves from logs dropped off at our shop. There is nothing like taking a log that might have ended up as firewood and turning it into one of kind woodworking products. We hope you enjoy the products you see and let us know if you have any questions.

Woodturning basics today as we demonstrate how to wood turn a multi-axis one piece solid wooden coffee scoop.

Power Carving a Walnut Dough Bowl 02/03/2024

https://youtu.be/A5FzIzmzqEI
Wood turning! (or is it woodturning?) No but wood carving a walnut dough bowl for the first time! Woodworking is a passion for me whether wood-turning or wood carving! My recent retiree friend, we'll call her TB, answered the question “what bowl can I make you for your retirement” with “how about a dough bowl!” Dough bowl I thought...what the heck is a dough bowl! So after a quick internet image search, I figured out that I wouldn't be turning this bowl but carving it! Fun times in the shop trying a new technique! Another quick trip to the internet and a set of three angle grinder compatible wood carving disks we're ordered. (only about $22 dollars on Am**on)!

After just a few minutes using the wood carving disk I got a feel for how much material it was removing and although the entire project could be completed with just the carving disk I figured the process would go quicker if I removed a sizable portion of the material with a forstner bit before returning to the disk grinder. Once done with power carving the bowls shape, it was finished with 40 grit sandpaper before final sanding with 60, 80, 120 and 220 grits. The last step was a flood coat of walnut oil followed by touch-up coats in areas the walnut quickly absorbed the oil. I used Mahoney's Walnut utility oil which is advertised as food safe immediately and cures within about 24-48 hours.

Woodturning a Segmented Salad Bowl with Walnut, Canarywood and Padauk | Michael says Wow! 01/21/2024

https://youtu.be/JOor1GP_0b0
Wood turning a segmented salad bowl using Black Walnut, Canarywood and Padauk. After acquiring about 30 nice exotic hardwood boards from a private seller, I set out to make a segmented bowl choosing to use some of the canarywood and padauk hardwoods. For some inspiration I did an internet image search using the terms “segmented bowl walnut canarywood padauk.” The result hit upon a beautiful bowl made by Marc Sitkin. It was an unique design by Marc that really caught my eye. So with just a minor design change and profile alteration, I set up to duplicate his design. I really liked the result, It's one of my favorites now! Come see how I made this bowl. A free subscription to my YouTube channel is available if you have interest in seeing other turnings.

Woodturning an Earth Pangea Walnut Burl in Resin 12/31/2023

https://youtu.be/aN9Pzzsl_Ho

Wood turning an Earth like Pangea bowl (Yeah, Science! & solid Breaking Bad reference). Hello and welcome to our channel. Thanks for watching and feel free to leave a comment in the YouTube chat below. I typically respond to all comments or questions within 48 hours.

This video a style departure from some of my regular wood turnings in that I am using resin as a primary design feature for this bowl, and not just an accent feature. This core wood portion is a walnut burl that had apparently been sitting in a creek. I acquired it caked in mud and grime so after a once over with a power washer it was mostly clean enough to turn. Well at least after drying out for about 15 months.

My resin woodturning playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHfzWjqwQskLab202QoO0iK5jbg-Zg9v8&si=Sn0hf9Xbg1oTIjzE The link is also featured on the end of video thumbnails.

How to you think in turned out? Should I incorporate more resign in future turnings or just continue to feature more beautiful hardwoods?

Woodturning - a Scrap Hardwood Bowl - Vessel 11/19/2023

In today's woodworking lathe video I'm taking some leftover pieces from another project and making a small bowl / vessel. The original project's video link is here: https://youtu.be/PcXr0Agy2DY . This fruit bowl project used scrapes and being that this bowl was made from those leftover glue-ups, I guess you could say that we used scraps of scraps to make this bowl.

Woodturning - a Black Walnut & Spalted Maple Bowl 11/04/2023

With special guest finisher, Debbie Sapper, we're wood turning a black walnut and spalted maple bowl (or dish?) How to steps are shown using our Harvey Woodworking lathe. Wood turning a bowl can be so rewarding. Join us for our adventure!

In today's video Debbie and I will demonstrate the steps we took to turn a random piece of black walnut and some scrap spalted maple pieces into a pretty cool looking utility bowl (or dish?) After the sanding was completed, the finishing process started with Debbie applying two coats of “grain popping” BLO (boiled linseed oil), followed by 5 coats of rattle can spray lacquer, hand buffing down each coat with 0000 steel wool. I followed her with a brief slow speed buffing on the lathe followed by a buffed on coat of Carnauba wax.
