A Wood Turning from Silver Maple Firewood

[@goodhopepond]

Behind every stick of wood is a story…to this one you have added tones of beauty, rejuvenation, generosity and family love. Thank you for sharing your skill and your values.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much for your kind words they are much appreciated. Gary

[@scottbeilsmith4261]

That was a great save from the burning pile Gary. Love all the spalting in it. Silver maple is a beautiful looking wood. Thanks for sharing and take care friend 😊.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Scott and had fun saving this piece and was treated with that interesting spalting. Glad you liked it and thanks for watching, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I suppose it would have made a beautiful campfire but it makes a much more beautiful fruit bowl! The spalting is just amazing and your dark patch of the crack just blends right in and makes it all possible. Really a great job, buddy! 😄 Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Phil. That fire was so hot I kept moving my chair back farther. But not before I went and hid this chunk of wood LOL. The piece was so heavy my nephew carried to our motorhome. Which was about 75 yards away. Glad you like it my friend, Gary

[@marciak9826]

A very nice bowl, Gary! I’m sure your niece will love it! Great job on the epoxy repair, it blends in nicely. Sure is some beautiful spalting!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Marcia. This was pretty easy. I just had to clean it up and let that wonderful spalting do all the talking. Pretty fun for sure. Take care, Gary

[@jonmartineau1004]

Gotta love the spalting ! I think it really makes this bowl stand out . A great piece and a great finish . Thanks for sharing Gary . We hope you have a great weekend and week ahead . Til next Friday .

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Jon. Yes the spalting was a great surprise. Even though Silver Maple is pretty on its own. Take care, Gary

[@WoodenItBeNice]

What a lovely bowl and I'm sure your Niece and her Husband will love it. Take care my friend. Hwyl, Huw

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Huw glad you liked it. Take care, Gary

Another beautiful piece Gary and a great backstory. The bowl would make a great popcorn or candy bowl, thanks for sharing

[@waltwhybrewwoodworking]

Thanks for sharing Gary. This shows you never know where you might find a nice piece of wood.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Walt. This was much nicer than I thought it would be when I grabbed it from the stack of firewood. Gary

[@54lespaul3]

Beautiful Gary!! I love spalted wood of any kind but I guess the contrast with Maple is the most dramatic. A lovely bowl!! Cheers, Rick

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Rick. For sure it is a nice match with Maple and the spalting. I have a piece that came from our Maple tree years ago but it seems pretty light and punky. Been avoiding testing it out. But I probably should. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@MarklTucson]

Beautiful piece Gary; the figure and grain patterns really give it interest. Not bad for a piece of firewood. So glad you were able to turn it into something really nice for your niece and her husband.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Mark. I just have to make time to get it out to her. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@edwardhand7070]

Awesome piece Gary. Now I'm going to have to get a piece of my Silver Maple split and ready for my next project. It's now spalted and ready to be made into something beautiful. Happy turning my friend 😊

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Edward. Sounds like you will have a beauty with your Silver Maple. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@qapla]

Nice job, Gary. I have nothing against using resin, but it is refreshing to see someone just use it to repair the wood instead of making it a resin turning with a little wood tossed in. Thanks for saving all that woodgrain and giving a piece of firewood a new life.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Qapla. I have no problem with others using it. But I do not think it is good for me as far as bad reactions go. I have used gallons and gallons of the stuff and for work projects so I decided I will let others have the epoxy and wood show. Thanks for watching, Gary

Thanks Al, yes it was pretty easy turning. Really nice cutting wood for sure. The spalting was a nice bonus for sure. Take care, Gary

[@rayworstine4399]

Good evening, Gary. Some folks rescue animals, some folks rescue firewood. You chose a beautiful piece. I like the light on your Dewalt sander. Excellent bowl.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Ray. Hey someone needs to save the wood from the firepit LOL. I looked at it on the floor of my shop for months just wondering if it was a good idea. Well I found out it was. The light is pretty cool for sure. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary

[@valeriehenschel1590]

They should treasure the unexpected gift from the camp wood pile! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ThePapa1947]

I think so for sure. It was a good reunion along the Nehalem River. We did a 5 mile kayak trip on one of the days.

[@travisgreen3533]

Fantastic. The spalting really does the trick. That is just a really nice bowl.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Travis I appreciate you watching my friend, Gary

[@OldMtnGeezer]

It pains me to think of all the potential beauty & function that's made its way to woodstoves & campfires instead of to our lathes or other woodshop applications over the years. It's sure made me look closer at pieces from my firewood pile. Good save, Gary. You did it justice & I'm sure your niece & nephew will be proud owners.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much. We have burned our fair share of firewood. But mostly Alder which is plentiful around here. It was a nice way to get out in the woods and was mostly from clear cuts that was going to happen no matter what. All wood is now looked at closely for becoming a turning. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@OldMtnGeezer]

@@ThePapa1947 I hear ya. Ours is mostly Ponderosa & Lodgepole Pine here in the Colorado Rockies, but I've managed to squeeze some rather interesting projects from a few out-of-the ordinary pieces.

[@mikemadsen6820]

Nicely done. I like how the black cracks fit in with the spalting.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Mike. Glad I went with the black. The other I still head was a bright red. Would not have looked so good. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

What a gorgeous piece of firewood. It would have been a beautiful piece without any spalting. I saw plenty of curl and movement. But then the spalting really added to it. Beautiful bowl!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Doug. It was the curl that got my attention as I looked across the flames of the campfire. Knowing it was mostly fir I had to get up and get a closer look. That is when that piece somehow got moved to the back of the pile LOL. Thanks for watching, Gary

Thank you Sue. The brush that nature uses paints the best pictures ever. We are blessed to be able to work with it. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@daviddejong187]

Very nice bowl Gary! Sometimes you just have to live with cracks. If I didn't turn all the wood I have that had cracks I wouldn't be turning much at all. A lot of times I can cut them away or turn them away but sometimes not. It's the nature of wood

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks David. I do not worry about cracks that will not cause issues with the piece staying together. The one I filled I was not sure how far it went. It may have been just fine but who knows. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@davidbaxter5132]

Thank you Gary; that is is a similar story to how I source my wood and I love it when there is a connection to the wood and a finished piece can be passed back to those who knew the tree. A lovely bowl, full of character.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you David! I look forward to returning the wood to its home. I always try and get a piece back to someone who had to have a tree taken down. You will see more of that coming up. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@williamfawkes8379]

Nature did the painting, but you helped it find the right shape. Looks awesome. I love it when the spalting has such a variety of markings. It's like a series of doodles that happened at different times.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you William I like how you put your comments. For sure there are lots of doodles to look at. I was sure glad I was able to keep most of the. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@jarmstrong2843]

That's a nice bowl from firewood. Yup, the piece of wood was worth saving from the fireplace. It's good you made the Crack along the side of the bowl look like the spalting. I like it when the flaws of the wood are incorporated into the design. It seems to give the piece more character. IMHO, if it were a perfect piece of wood, it may look like any other turning that has no interesting feature. GOOD ONE, GARY!!!!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you John. The flames in that campfire were licking their lips staring at this piece of wood. But that is what made me notice it over the big pile of fir. I could have taken the other half but it was in really sad shape Thanks for watching, Gary

What a save from the fire. Nice one Gary 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You are right Kris. Maybe if they made Spicy 🔥 ones to add I could fill the bowl 🥣 🔥. Just to balance the flavors.

[@prsearls]

That was a good find from the woodpile. The spalting is beautiful. I use a slow-set resin for filling large cracks. I usually seeps deep into the crack before setting (about 60 minutes depending on temperature). I normally add a colorant, black or red, to highlight this feature. I've never had it fail (so far) during turning and it gets very hard and strong after three days.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Paul. The splating was a real treat. Really could not see it till I started cutting it up. What I had was a table top resin. It worked fine and was good to go in about 24 hours. Thanks for watching, Gary

Hi Gary, I’m turning several pieces of maple that came down in the recent storm. It turns out the tree was probably diseased and is punky on the end greens. I am using something that I saw a while back on another video to fill the punky of the end grain. It’s called aqua coat Clear wood grain filler water-based gel. I’m using it for the first time, but after several coats, I think it’s going to be great. Don’t know if you have had any experience with this or not. By the way, that’s a beautiful piece of spotted wood. Nothing like the way nature decorates the wood.

[@ThePapa1947]

Hi Van, I have not heard of that product. I will look into it for sure. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@kenvasko2285]

Two things: 1. I love the touch you show on the finishing cut for the outside of the bowl. 2. When I get a deep blank with great features, I always think about coring but I don't have a coring tool. Do you core without a coring tool?

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Ken those are my favorite cuts and this wood makes it easy. I do not have a coring tool. I guess if I was making bowls to sell I would probably get one. But it also limits the design you can get out of a blank. Some will say the wood is wasted by not coring but I promise you this one would have ended up becoming smoke had I not grabbed it. And the shavings go on the flower rows. But new toys are always nice LOL Thanks for watching, Gary
