WOODTURNING! Alder Bowl Hiding In My FIREWOOD!

[@russwideman9623]

Nicely done Jason.... you'll never look at firewood the same way!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! True words!

[@jimwhiting2267]

What a beautiful piece, Jason. Glad you're back to turning. Almost everything I turn comes from the firewood pile. 😁

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

Boy…that piece was sure nice and dry, you can tell by what’s flying off there. Really attractive grain. The skills are definitely there, Jason!

[@craigsudman4556]

Gotta love it, classic pieces of functional art... from firewood. It was nice of you to take us bowling with you again Jason, great video thumbs up.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you, Craig!

[@dwb73]

Nice bowl. Sometimes spur of the moment inspirations turn out a better creation than the ones we plan for weeks. Great job!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! I completely agree.

[@jamesharless5357]

Beautiful bowl, great video!👍🏻

[@Jupiter-wj6sn]

It turned out really great. I have a few such bowels that I picked up on a trip in West Virginia and Maryland a few years ago. Love them.

[@annlaurie1484]

Lovely bowl, looking forward to seeing more turning

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! I’m looking forward to sharing more turning 😉

[@seanparchim9165]

I've had a walnut blank on my lathe for 5 months now so I get the "knocking the dust off" my lathe skills lol beautiful bowl Jason thanks for sharing

[@MrFHLH]

That is a beautiful bowl, beats putting it on the fire. Congratulations on a job well done.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you!

[@bobflores]

I think the circles you are seeing are medullary rays. Medullary rays are very distinct in quarter sawn white oak but are present in varying degrees in other wood species. I've never noticed them in alder. Very nice bowl.

[@jbjeep8324]

Very nice piece. Please consider covering your wedding ring while working in the shop - for safety.

[@BSE1aleut]

Thats a beautiful bowl, so rich in color!!! Those Banksia Pods are crazy awesome … Andy Phillip did a very unusual one … David’s Woodturning did one also. I look forward to more turnings.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! I started on it yesterday. It’s soaking in epoxy as we speak.

[@WhiskeyDale]

great looking bowl.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you!

[@bobwollard9105]

I think the rings may be wind shake from the original log.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

A lot of folks are suggesting medullary rays. I think they’re correct.

[@johnsholian4318]

Very cool! Good to see you fire up your lathe again.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! I can’t wait to try out the new tools.

[@johnnygsdiy1981]

Nice firewood bowl! I liked the final shape!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you!

[@jeffgoodsonwoodworking8627]

Well done sir can't wait to see the next one.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you, Jeff! The pod is soaking in epoxy as we speak.

[@bobuncle6962]

Very snappy piece of firewood!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you!

[@archiehebron8944]

So envious, I need to get a vacuum pot and a pressure pot. I have so many ideas for resin projects.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I’d really like a vacuum pot too! I think using both together is the way to go.

[@archiehebron8944]

@NorthwestSawyer de-gasing the resin is always a good idea. Im not 100% sure, but i would preasurize it and then degass before returning it to the pressure pot to cure. I might be adding steps through.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

@ from what I’ve seen, you would degass a couple times before going into the pressure pot to cure. However, I’ve also seen plenty of people degass only and leave the piece in the vacuum chamber to cure.

[@wallyschmidt77]

Well done! And a nice shout out to Phil at Shady Akres.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! I know he watches now and then😉

[@thekiltedsawyer]

Great video buddy, good eye on saving that wood. Those are growth rings i belive🧡👌👌

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! A lot of folks are saying medullary rays?

[@mikewilcox8866]

Nice!!!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you, Mike!

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Looks kinda like a potential hanging basket featuring eye screws and brass chains brought together on a brass ring for ceiling hook attachment.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I like it!

[@philmorrison6898]

Another beauty! Great job!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you!

[@Flowing23]

👍👍

[@gregm312]

very nice , possibly a branch

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you!

[@nathangoodson7390]

The words have been written, but those patterns you're seeing are medullary rays, or ray fleck, or worms, or "stretchmarks". I didn't know they were so pronounced in alder, but they are super common in oak wood. Sweet bowl. How's the property looking after that wind storm?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

That’s what I’m reading. It makes sense now. I’ve never seen them in a bowl but it explains the circular pattern. The wind storm missed us to the north by quite a bit, fortunately.

[@65BAJA]

22:04 That's a wooden table top banana hammock.

[@williamellis8993]

Nice bowl, Jason. Those rings are an alder-nate grain pattern (see what I did there?). Nice to see two reverse actions in this one. Check Woodturning with Tim for ideas on that banksia pod. Bill

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thanks, Bill! I had to make up for the lack of reverse in the previous video😉. I’ll give Tim a peek!

[@barryhansen6854]

I think that gave you more heat than throwing it into the fire Jason?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Quite possibly, Barry! It was definitely on the easier side. I sure have missed woodturning.

[@mikepagliei426]

Hey Jason. The Rubio is that a 2 part? I think it’s called part2C? Or do you use it with no activator?

[@250xrider1988]

I love it, Jason! I'll be sending you a message on fb to see if you have a plan for that one 🤔

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I’ll keep an eye out😉

[@TIMber1962]

I think the rings are Medullary rays that wood show up in quarter swan lumber

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Ahhhh! That completely makes sense. Thank you!

[@65BAJA]

Could the rings be reyfleck?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

That’s the general consensus, it seems. Makes sense😉

[@paulgray4215]

Wondering just what the heck you were holding up at the end.??

[@NorthwestSawyer]

That’s a Banksia pod.

[@stevenjohnson9304]

Last time I TURN on a lathe was 1968 estacada high wood shop

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Local guy!😉

[@rockallred658]

Medullary Rays.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you!
