Dog Wood Root Bowl # 268

I found out the hard way that dried dogwood roots are the hardest wood I have ever turned. But it all turned ok great. I think I went thru 4 or 5 carbides. Enjoy

Exceptional work Larry! What a beautiful bowl. I love how it turned out. You are a wonderful woodworker. Please don't stop at 300. Keep on going. I love watching your wood working skills. Nor being a turner I am fascinated by all the different techniques that are used. Thank you for sharing your amazing work with all of turners and non-turners. ❤🙃

Feel better Larry. Phil said you were good . He weren’t kidding. Thanks, beautiful piece.

Another beautiful project Larry! I realize it took alot of time and hard work. But my oh my, im SO glad you didnt give up. As for retiring from making videos, im sure gonna miss you if you do, but, I will understand. All the filming and editing must be a tedious, time consuming job. I personally want to say a big THANK YOU for showing your approach to turning wood and resin. 👍👍👍👍👍

Beautiful project, Larry. As they all are. Love your channel and content.

Beautiful bowl Larry. That one took a lot of perseverance to get thru; nice work.

[@gaetancrepeault9333]

Great work grain and color beautiful finishing Thank you sharing

[@duaneheadworth6275]

That was just like being there.I loved how it turned out.I have plenty of stupid questions that I will spare you from. (figure I can watch some of your previous videos and I'll be able to figure them out) Maybe after you reach #300 the sponsors can make it worth your while for you to do another 10 or 20! What you are creating is more than Art. Inspiration a is priceless gift. Thank you for sharing.

If you can't find the answers you need, give me a holler, Larry

[@dapperdave4952]

Larry 300 and retiring? I have re-re-retired and still haven't gotten it right! Great job Sir, I learned a bunch from just a couple of your videos.

[@patrickfischer6980]

Enjoying this Larry. Happy I was referred by Phil at Shady Acres.

[@TheWoodWhirler]

Thank you Pat and welcome. You have lots of videos to choose from, I have a total of 269. Take care, Larry

[@mikeyoung8126]

Excellent work Larry I’m glad you didn’t give up on it it’s so beautiful take care and God bless

[@smckee9063]

This is the second posting of yours I have watched. I subscribed on the first one. The one you did this time is just as beautiful as the last!

[@TheWoodWhirler]

Thank you my friend, you only have 267 more to look it, lol. Take care, Larry

[@randallfitzpatrick1666]

I really liked the intro. Nice looking bowl. I bet the dulling of your carbide is from sand that gets trapped in the roots when the tree grows. Love your videos!

[@TheWoodWhirler]

That and just plain hard because it's dried. . Thanks, Larry

[@ACKSWOODPASTE]

This is for people that like shine, what a beauty Larry. I am g oing to mention this video on todays kit giveaways. Now I have 2 great videos, lately we have been overwhelmed with questions on what else to use with our pastes and our answer is always the same, Nothing, so this will make a good point for the resin/wood, thank you Larry. Retiring, NOOOOOOOO:))

[@TheWoodWhirler]

The main discussion at our monthly club meeting this Thursday will be on finishing, I can't wait to lay it on them. You and Ann stay warm. Larry

[@ACKSWOODPASTE]

@@TheWoodWhirler Thats sounds wonderful to me!!!

[@TheWoodWhirler]

Makes good hand cream too. See ya, Larry

[@ACKSWOODPASTE]

@@TheWoodWhirler It does, I make some of it into lip balm for my grandkids and flavor it bubblegum:)) Great for chapped lips.

[@dennishand5920]

great job good combo

[@gregdagg9305]

Challenge accepted.. Very nice project Larry, Blessings.

[@TheWoodWhirler]

Remind me, so I don't have to look at the same video again, what challenge? Thanks, Larry

[@gregdagg9305]

@@TheWoodWhirler The challenge of this project, working in a cold shop, mixing epoxy without pressure pot, wood so hard it dulls carbide tips, keeping hands & head out of camera view, sharpening said carbide tips, having to go out day after day and deal with same project, etc,etc. Happy to see you meeting and overcoming these distractions to produce an amazing bowl.. Hope that helps clear up the comment. Keep on whirling..

[@TheWoodWhirler]

​@@gregdagg9305Sorta sounded like there was a one-on-one challenge going on I knew nothing about. Thanks for setting me straight.

[@stephendonathan6782]

Great work Larry 👏! The walnut and resin went together perfectly. I'm going to be sad when you hit 300 because I really like watching your videos! I've learned a lot from you. I've watched and liked every video you've put out. Try and stay warm my friend. Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!

[@jarmstrong2843]

Nice one, Grandpa Larry!!!👍👍 I had a dog wood tree cut down about 8 years ago. The wood is too hard for me to turn and I gave up on it. The stuff isn’t even good for the fireplace.

[@TheWoodWhirler]

But is sure can be purdy, Larry

[@dondeere]

hope you are feeling better friend!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheWoodWhirler]

More slowly than surely, but I am getting there. Thanks for asking, Larry

[@davehanson6915]

Good day to you Larry I want you to know I have watched everyone of your wood turning videos in the year 2021. When I got my lathes a year and a half ago I went looking on KZbin for instructions and I relied on you greatly. You will be greatly missed on the KZbin channels. Maybe you can talk to your grandson in to be in the craftsman in the editor and you just be his mentor in the background. You take care and I’ll cherish the next 32 videos . God bless you

[@TheWoodWhirler]

Thank you very much. My Grandsons haven't been around much lately, in fact, no one has been around much lately. Their whole family had covid. They are all fine now. My wife is a cancer patient, so everyone is afraid to come around with her low immunity and such. So it's just this old man and his dog. Hope everything will get back to normal soon. I sure miss my boys. Oh well, I am just venting. Take care, Larry

[@davehanson6915]

Dang. Sorry about your wife. 🙏. I have Covid twice. You definitely don’t want to deal with that. I cough so hard I hurt every where. Take good care of her

[@TheWoodWhirler]

@@davehanson6915 Thank you, Larry

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Great job sticking with it. Sorry you had to do so many pours. Came out great though.
