Love turning cherry...my favorite wood to turn. That bowl will darken up beautiful...

[@PFWoodturning]

Cool, thanks!

[@cheryldidur2300]

I really like the little accent of the black Starbond, and the area of the bark as well. Lovely bowl.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!! ✌️

[@alinmayerthorpe7801]

Lovely bowl Peggy, it sure has nice color and the bark on the side is a very nice feature, well done and thanks! Cheers Al

A lovely bowl, and the entertainment was fun also😊

[@georgeblankenship3283]

Nice bowlPeggy! I hAve turned a lot of cherry as it is plentiful here as is walnut, beech, etc. It's nice to see the contrast of different woods. Good job and look forward to seeing many more from you!

[@PFWoodturning]

Many thanks!

[@ralphhorne6063]

Great job Peggy, beautiful grain in cherry.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@RichardMullins-hl3rf]

I like glue block myself. I like to drill a hole for my depth. Tape on the drill bit for distance. Then hollow out the inside.

Dream what you want to dream, nothing says you can't make it a reality. I've just started my channel I have 15 subscribers and I'm over the moon ... I'm really just starting out with turning and everything and just want to make someone smile at the moment, that's all that matters. I enjoy watching you work and thank for sharing. I also don't understand why some people seem to think they have a right to dictate what you should do, it,s your channel, you're being gracious enough to share!

It turned out awsome. Gotta love turning cherry ! Here In NC I find alot that folks are discarding . Always free for the taking lol...

I love the color of the cherry. The inclusion of bark makes it special.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!

[@bhealey66]

I bought the curved rest last year...and the j rest at the same time. I love them both but gravitate to the j rest more often. I always love your creations. This one is lovely!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks so much!

[@raymondsmith2868]

I seem to turn mostly cherry and walnut, both of these have a fine grain and turn out beautiful. I got some Acks polishing paste, I really like it and was surprised that in the CNY woodworkers club that some members has not even heard of it. Popular finishes in the club are shellac, Osmo (expensive) and wipe on poly (gasp).

[@PFWoodturning]

Cool. Well be sure to give the members my discount code :-)

[@CEdgecomb]

I have the Easy Wood chuck...love it.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks!! That’s what I hear from people who use it

[@dougthatcher3521]

Love your quirky humor! Oh, the bowl is simple and lovely!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@jontoolman]

The woodturner knows best what the chunk of wood wants to be! I have nova G3, Super Nova 2, and Nova Titan chuck. They all work great.

[@PFWoodturning]

Good to know!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Very nice bowl. I’m with you on the small patch of bark. Looks great. Well done, Peggy!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@STMwoodturning]

I've turned cherry a few times but mine was darker red than yours. It required sharp tools but the grain was fantastic! Your bowl looks great and I agree that simple forms are the most beautiful. Stuart

[@PFWoodturning]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jerrydempsey3490]

Very nice Peggy.. 👍 Simplicity equals elegance. Have you ever watched Phil Anderson / Shady Acres Workshop? I like his art pieces. Best wishes.

[@velodctr]

Nice "head "sized bowl. Love watching your channel which I have subscribed to. To everyone else out there in Utubeland, I always measure the moisture in my wood. Wood will move enough just hollowing out the bowl but further drying will cause more warping to the point the bowl will rock on it's foot. Not good. Wood dries about 3/4 to 1 inch per year so after 7 months you stock is not properly dried. I almost always use a tenon and rarely a mortise unless i have a thin piece of wood. I put the chuck on belore I turn the wood around to make sure the chuck doesn't' wobble. If it wobbles, I use a spindle gouge to fine tune the tenon and retry the chuck. Then when you turn the bowl around it won't hardly wobble. Especially important on thin rimmed bowls or puting on a fancy lip . I use the same Nova chuck and it works perfectly fine. In fact, I have many because I get sick and tired of changing out the jaws for different size tenons. My rule of thumb is the tenon is 35% of the diameter of the bowl and at least 3/16 - 1/4 in. deep. No Failures!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you!!

[@janicefrancis5045]

Love it!

What a gorgeous bowl, Peggy! I agree, the bark does add a nice texture to it. Great job! 💜

[@catgynt9148]

Your craftsmanship and artistry are amazing; the fact that you can see the potential of a lump of wood and have the skills to release its beauty for the rest of us to see and enjoy makes you great. Have you ever considered collaborating with art educators or participating in a STEAM / STEM program? Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Cat. I’ve considered teaching before, but haven’t really done it besides one on one here and there.

[@JiggsysShed]

I’m in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and have an endless supply of black cherry. To bad it cracks if you look at it wrong!

Very nice bowl Peggy ……. Always enjoy watching you turn ✌🏼🤠

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@DiemenDesign]

Well turned, great bowl. I find the simple ones sells the best, esp. if customers can use them. I don't often sell pieces that are just mantle pieces, I think it's due to people worried about them getting damaged, and they want something they can use.

[@PFWoodturning]

True. ✌️

[@chicocash9668]

nice wor as alaways I have never turn cherry but may have to try soon

[@PFWoodturning]

[@jeffmchale5826]

Love the way this cherry bowl turned out. 🤭 I hope to get to experience how cherry turns one day. Maybe I'll make that a goal for 2023. 😁

[@PFWoodturning]

Go for it!!

[@timfry4379]

Looks great, Cherry is my favorite to turn. Very forgiving wood, the older it gets the darker red it turns.

[@PFWoodturning]

Beautiful piece, Peggy! One of the first things I turned which didn't end up in the burn pile was a cherry burl bowl for my grandmother. Great stuff to work with.

[@PFWoodturning]

That is awesome!

[@fretless05]

Another beautiful bowl; love the cherry! I noticed that looked like a new jar of Ack's Finishing Paste- is that the first use of the new formula? Let us all know how different it is to work with! It certainly looks great.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks. Yes, this is the new Ack's Polishing Paste, now made with carnuba wax. I've been using it for a few months. It is amazing!!

[@dirtycurty1202]

I use a Super Nova 2 chuck for most of my projects but I'm looking to get a G3 for smaller projects and I'm also looking at a Oneway for larger out board turning projects.

[@johnpargeon5690]

Very nice bowl! I enjoy turning cherry. I have Nova, one way, and easy wood chucks. The one ways are nice and heavy. I use the Novas for smaller turnings. I just got the Easywood, but I like the quick change capability.

[@PFWoodturning]

Cool, thanks!

[@bwrightaway2877]

I've got a good-sized section of cherry log standing outside my shop. I'm hoping to get some spalting in it, but I've never seen spalted cherry, so idk if it's possible. I've gotten some awesome looking spalting in some beech wood that I've done the same thing to.

[@PFWoodturning]

Sounds great!

[@paulbecker9426]

Very pretty! And yes, the black starbond(?) looks really nice with the light-colored wood - keep up the great work! :)

[@bakduvel5819]

a very nice hat.🤭

[@PFWoodturning]

Ha!

[@amycagle6618]

I love that black top! I love the bowl! I shared the video to FB. You called that last chuck Longworth? Is that a brand name? I have always heard them called Cole Jaws. I am not a wood worker, tho I would love to be. I do so enjoy watching turner's channels! You deserve to hit 100k subs!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks very much. Yes, I'm not sure if longworth is the brand or just the name, though.

[@turningwiththewoods]

So to me it was just cheaper to purchase a second (well third really) chuck to avoid the jaw swapping. I’m using 2 record power sc4 chucks and also a oneway stronghold. So i don’t really need to change jaws now :-)

[@PFWoodturning]

Good point!

[@brucebeard581]

I find cherry hard to turn. when dried it is dense and hard. In part my difficulties are probably due to the 'midi' lathe I use; not just enough mass to deal with the material. Nice bowl. Always instructive to watch and learn.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@davepopejoy7515]

Cherry is a great wood to turn, one of my favorite. Does Starbond come in brown? i have not seen it.

[@PFWoodturning]

Do you like it?

[@maxfli343]

Yes ma’am I’m glad I bought it, I had another one but easy wood chuck is so much easier (pardon the pun) to use

[@jeanlong4285]

Really nice bowl Peggy. Do you like your Laguna lathe? I'm looking to upgrade.

[@PFWoodturning]

Yes I do! I upgraded from a Jet 1221.

[@neiljackson8313]

can you turn this green?? up here in northern Michigan I have access to plenty of fruit woods. apple, pear, plum, etc.....

[@PFWoodturning]

You can turn green, yes. but you should only rough turn and then let dry until under about 12% MC.

[@charlesnichols1215]

Like your shape and the bark. Have you reviewed your laguna 18-36? I'm interested in their 24-36 and am curious about your experience with their lathe.

[@PFWoodturning]

Not a formal review. But I've had it for a few years, no problems. It's solid.

[@michaelmcdermott2178]

How do you like the dust shield? Worth the money?

[@PFWoodturning]

Love it. Worth every penny. (I have a link to it, in the video description)

[@michaelmcdermott2178]

I use the G-3 and the EasyWood, as well. And of course, shop made (jam chucks, rests, etc.). Like them all for various applications. I am retired and not a production turner so the fast jaw change feature is a non-starter for me as a selling point. I'd get the Robust curved rest if money wasn't a factor but I already have an S rest that works well enough for what I need. Looks like this blank was wetter on the inside but that goes with the territory. Did you buy the neg rake scraper or regrind a standard scraper? I do turn a fair amount of cherry because I do much of my furniture work in cherry and use offcuts as turning blanks. You'll get to 100k because you are a very friendly presence with interesting projects. Sorry for the long comment but it's Sunday and I have a fresh cup of coffee. Lovely chapeau, by the bye! And the Kilroy!

[@PFWoodturning]

Ha! Thanks. I bought the negative rake.

[@jerryrodgers3482]

Why do you cut your sanding sealer

[@PFWoodturning]

Preference, I think it looks better.

[@amycagle6618]

OMG! I just saw your merch on Spreadshop! Why don't you have the tote in a purple, like the women's classic sport top? Why don't you have that shirt in 3x or 4x or... I would snap them up! Edit: I say "why don't you", but I understand that you may not have direct control over the choices. However, could you give them some suggestions?

[@PFWoodturning]

I'll look into it. Thanks.

[@im4dabirds]
