Beautiful Walnut Green to Finished in 24 Hours Wood Turning

[@nanfredman1991]

OH MY, the grain on that bowl! So. Pretty.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Nan, it is a shame the tree died but it left a lot of wood to remember it by. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@TheWoodWhirler]

I like the shape, Gary. You can call your box a Poor Man's Dehydrator, the same principle. Great job, take care, Larry

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Larry and welcome back. Hope you are doing better. Yes just another form of natures dehydrator. Sitting under my shed with a light wind blowing across would have done the same. This is a bit more controlled. Thanks for watching, Gary

Hi Papa, English Walnut, so this must be a St. George Bell Bowl. Beautiful shape and finish. God bless stay safe. Tony

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Tony, well I guess it does look like a bell. Happy you liked it and God bless you my friend, Gary

hi Gary another very nice achievement👍 beautiful grain, beautiful finish well done👏👏 see you soon Morgan

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Morgan, it is very beautiful wood. Take care, Gary

[@marycatherinelebouef-op4hf]

Oh yeah! That is a gorgeous piece of work! It came out beautifully even thought it was wet. The finish you used certainly compliments the wood! You did a fantastic job! Bravo!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Mary Catherine . Just picked that bowl up today. One of my favorites for sure. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@crackerjack3359]

Very nice. A few quick tips if I may. I use a foam sanding block when sanding with sheet sand paper to get a smoother finish but more importantly to stop burning my fingers. I have also stopped buying sand paper and I'm forever committed to Abranet, which is far superior in my opinion, and lasts forever. If I need to dry a piece quickly, I have had great success using the CONVECTION oven in our kitchen. I set it on the drying cycle at about 120 Deg F and give the piece an hour on that setting. I let it cool and then add more cycles but only if needed. I have only once needed more than two cycles and never had a crack. Montana Wood Art, Bozeman MT.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you and thanks for all the tips. I have been sanding this way for years and did it on a daily basis working as a wood patternmaker. I guess I can feel the shape better that way. But I certainly am willing to try anything. I have not tried Abranet and have been wanting to give it a try. Our kitchen oven has a convection setting but I do not think it will go low enough. And it does not have a drying cycle. Perhaps your oven is made just for convection cooking? Lots of great tips! Thanks for watching, Gary

I just finished my 8th Walnut rough turned bowl Friday all in paper bags and shaving for a few months. Nice piece Gary. 👍🇺🇸

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much. Wow 8 blanks all tucked away. That will be lots of fun to finish up. I really should do that with some of my Walnut. I have a lot off large pieces slabbed up. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

That is a beautiful piece of walnut. Well done.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Doug, so far everything I have turned from this tree has been very beautiful wood. I do have a lot more of it. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@donaldadams5342]

Stunning piece of wood as soon as we caught sight of it Gary but boy, did you make it sing on the lathe. That grain & colour are absolutely beautiful, couple that with a shape that does the wood justice & a superb finish, WOW. Any further words, if one could find them, would be pretty much meaningless, just sit back & let the wood speak for itself in the hands of a Master Craftsman. I feel privileged to have been able to sit back & watch this video & a little less pain in this old body, so thank you my friend. Don from South Aust..

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Don for all you kind words. I do hope this helped with your pain and also that it does get better for you. Take care my friend, Gary

Hi Gary! Another stunner my friend, that finish is tops!! You never disappoint!! Safe turnings!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Bruce, I sure enjoyed turning this one. I feel like I am cheating using the Polycrylic. It is so easy to use and the Acks Abrasive Paste brought it to another level. Take care, Gary

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Bill, I was happy with it before I used the Acks paste but I figured I would see what it would do. Holding it and looking at it you can see the life in it. We have a lot of English Walnut here. A few years ago I could have gotten a few dump truck loads of it. Family members in laws took down a English Walnut orchard and there was more wood burned than you can imagine. Take care, Gary

Thank you Wesley, by all means try one of those drying boxes. Even a bowl your size if roughed turned can dry in 2 weeks. If turned thin less than 2 days is my guess. Thanks for watching, Gary

The back is feeling ok but I did go out yesterday and worked on our daughter's well for watering her garden and lawn. She has 1 1/2 acres. I pulled the pump and she is going to order another.
