Beautifull Black Walnut Wood Turning Fantastic Grain

[@raychap11]

You and Phil need to go head to head in a bowl turning contest!!!!

Thanks! I think neither one of us are that competitive. But I get what you are saying. Thanks for watching, Gary

Outstanding! Had no idea you could dish up an oval bowl on a lathe. . .quite the eye opener! And I learned a new word: chatoyance! Thanks for your hard work. . .definitely worth it!!!

The rpm and filming made it possible to see the outline of the bowl being made. The spinning log looks like an old projection film. Nicely done bowl and love the walnut.

[@ThePapa1947]

That is a very cool effect for sure. I like it when the turning starts to look like it reversed direction. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@carolriley8472]

Walnut is one of my favorite woods and I have a ton of it. My neighbor had a huge Walnut tree trimmed and I got most of the wood. Your bowl is simply gorgeous!

[@williamellis8993]

Really nice, Gary. Pretty grain and a great finish. Bill

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Bill. The grain was amazing. When you can see it in the half blank you know it is going to be good. It also sanded so nice which really is the base for a good finish. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@jayscott306]

I might be very impressed with the segmented projects but this is a textbook live edge bowl that was a pleasure to watch become what it is. I'm glad that bark stayed put. Those little spots of unexpected chatoyancy are always a nice find. Great work, Gary!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Jay for your comments they are much appreciated. This was really fun to turn. I had the blank in my shop for quite awhile and this is what I was seeing every time I looked at it. Now for the other half of the log. But it does have a lot of cracks on the end. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary

Such a beautiful piece of Walnut, Gary! Absolutely gorgeous! Your expert turning didn't do it any harm, either but brought out all the grain and color it has! Most excellent finish, this is just a prime example of what can be done with a piece of Black Walnut when you put it in the hands of a craftsman. Well done, my friend, keep'em coming! 😊 Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Phil. Coming from the King of live edge filled with bark I appreciate that. The pieces from the limb I got all seem to have beautiful grain. I did get a decent shape on it to help show it off. Sadly I heard that that tree may have to come down because of a tree decease. My nepehw told me that at the family reunion we went to last week. I think they got some good offers for the main part of the tree and there may be some more limbs for me. The limbs are huge. Thanks for watching buddy! Gary

[@1954JDR]

That bowl is absolutely beautiful! I love working with walnut. My walnut end tables are my best sellers. When we harvest a walnut tree on the farm, I use every thing; the log, limbs, and branches.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you James. Sadly they think the tree that this branch came from may have to come down. The family is getting offers for the main paert of the tree. But they really do not want to loose it. Hope it survives. Thanks for watching, Gary

Good looking dish, Gary. You make push cuts look so easy ... I still have to work on those. The size and shape of this piece is just right for the color of the wood. Take care.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Qapla. When you still have lots of stock on your blank is a good time to practice. And do it on a wood that cuts good. This will give you a better chance to get it down. Have fun turning my friend, Gary

[@RadioFaceWoodWorks]

Pretty piece...you and Phil Anderson both had ovals on your mind this week😊...stay safe...press on 😎 Joe

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Joe! Funny how that works out. I finished this piece 2 weeks ago. I had to get a little ahead as we went to a family reunion and I did not want to rush something when we got back. Makes me think I should get a little bench top lathe to take along LOL But I did grab a chunk from the firewood pit to bring home. In rough shape and hoping I can get something out of it. You will know when I do because it will make a good story. Thanks for watching, Gary

Thank you Mark. Yes very interesting. It has happened a few times but it certainly is a coincidence. I had this one loaded a few weeks ago and set to run yesterday.

As we would say in some parts of the south, that's a Bo Diddly; meaning that's a nice one, Gary. The grain of the wood makes the bowl look deeper than it really is.

[@michaelross8794]

Very sweet results!! I'll be heading into the shop in an hour or so, AND I'm completely out of walnut. So, I can't do exactly what you did, but I can't wait to try that basic shape (probably with ambrosia maple). Thank you for the inspiration on this Saturday morning!

Thank you very much Michael. I have never turned ambrosia maple. Not sure we have those beetles around here. Have fun and let me know how it goes. Gary

[@michaelross8794]

So, it went really well. Of course with non-kiln-dried wood (that is not always perfectly shaped) you kinda have to do what the wood tells you and today it told me it needed to be taller so I epoxied a piece of canarywood as a nice pedastal. I'd show you pics, but KZbin doesn't let you do that.
