Woodturning Spanish Cedar

[@rayworstine4399]

Good morning, Rod. Very well done. Camera angles, sounds, speed of cuts, view of different cuts, seeing the project in negative for clarity, every saw cut for the glue-up, a time frame for the glue-up to cure, description of the mortise and jaw contact and the sound of the grit in the Acks Sanding Paste. At one point, I think I could even smell the aroma of the wood. You created a beautiful, eye catching piece in a way that helps us, me, with a perfect peace. Thank you.

[@RHumphrey]

Ray, I really appreciate your comment for its detail and valuable feedback. Semper Fi, brother.

HELLO ROD THAT PLATTER TURNED .OUT AWESOME FROM DOUG

[@DSMC46]

Another amazing piece! Some of the shavings looked like sparks flying from it. I love the way the 3 colors of wood work together. You really have a good eye. Thank you for taking the time to share your art. I hope you and your family have an amazing 2022! God bless you and keep you all strong and healthy. You’re a wonderful person.

[@RHumphrey]

You're very kind, Deborah! Thank you so much. I hope the same for you and yours 😊

[@FranWhitten]

Thank you for your service to your country and ever mor thank you for sharing Our Lord &Savior on your sight. I’m an 80 year old grandma who watches woodturning & house building rather than the trash on networks. Just watched the Spanish Cedar video. Elegant plater. Didn’t know there were different varieties of cedar. God bless& have a joyous weekend.

[@tomcannon936]

Good morning Rod you never cease to amaze me beautiful project the Lord has truly gifted you with a the talent to bring out the beauty of his wood. Semper Fi

[@RHumphrey]

Hello Tom, thank you so much!

[@TheKingsGarden.]

I love the way you took something less than perfect and shaped it into something not only worthy of use but beautiful! Just like God does with us! Your color choice is very pleasing and that you left it square is really special. Thank you for reminding us to stay anchored; timely and encouraging. God bless.

[@renaebettenhausen3611]

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Beautiful!

[@pnwRC.]

WOWZERS! The different colors really POP in that bowl! I like it a LOT!

[@harrykeel8557]

Beautiful platter. It's always good to get rid of the cracks, and the contrast is pretty. Stay safe!!

[@FilosophicalPharmer]

I'm trying to refrain from cracking a butt joke; i failed.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, Harry!

[@taramartin6117]

The curves make it look like it could fly. Turning air is so fascinating because the shadows flicker with the white of the maple and I always hold my breath during a pass as I am so a-feared of going to far and making a huge catch. Amen, John 14:27. Blessings.

[@darlouthia5153]

This experience cutting this piece is an analogy of faith, obedience and perseverance. All three are necessary and when applied correctly the results are beautiful.

[@trurex007lee7]

The different woods accentuate the piece, well done.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much! 😊

[@ronwestra3442]

Another beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing the verse also God does make a big difference

[@QueenMary79]

That is beautiful and even more beautiful is the passage. Thank you for sharing His word and your talents. God has truly blessed you.

[@scottsimpey2965]

Gorgeous bowl Rod. I really like the addition of the walnut and maple, I think it adds a lot to that without taking away from the beauty of the Spanish cedar.

[@dougpeters4395]

Really love this piece. The combination of woods, the shape, make for a beautiful piece.

[@janeoverby2151]

Wow that sure is pretty! Spanish Cedar reminds me of Western Red Cedar in look and how it turns. Love the contrast between the cedar walnut and maple! God Bless you Rod and family.

[@connietai9126]

Mr.R Humphrey that is a beautiful tray for fruits.The color is beautiful as always I love your crafts it's a joy to see how you are so creative with wood .God Bless You Always 🤗❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, Connie, I appreciate that!

[@DelinquentBehavior]

Beautiful piece. I love the subtle shifts in the figure of the wood and the contrasts between the colors of the woods. It came out absolutely stunning.

[@jeffs7573]

Very beautiful platter, I like how the contrasting woods are off-set from center, looks very nice.

[@paulgamblin1860]

Love the scripture. And I love how you don't beat people over the head with it, but you just put it out there. What your viewers do with it is up to them.

[@markb8954]

Rod, Nice job on that Spanish Cedar. You handled that crack nicely, added in some minimal but great pieces. Nice looking platter with some character & flare. Don’t change your format too much. Keep on turning & making shavings.

[@danellabarnes-penman1118]

What a beautiful turn, as always. Thank you, Friend.

[@ellengraham4677]

Morning ,hope you & Susan are safe & well.😁. The platter is beautiful at first I thought you would cut it into a circle,but I'm glad you didn't, it's great to watch the skills you have to turn thin air,thanks for posting.💖😍. God Bless stay safe

[@RHumphrey]

Hello, Ellen, we're both doing well and hope the same for you! Thank you so much!

[@FilosophicalPharmer]

Irony - watching Rod's videos to learn, using what I've learned to gain my own experience, bringing experience back to watch Rod's videos and knowing i got lots to learn!

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks again, Blair! I hope I never stop learning as well!

[@cindyinaz2357]

It turned out just beautiful!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@stevedoolanTacoma]

Great platter. I really like how the "stripe" (for want of a better word) is off center. Symmetry has it's place but it can be a little boring at times. Thanks for the videos and the scripture.

[@charlesmcclure5994]

A very unique shape I think you're the first Turner I've seen turn something like that I think it came out wonderful love the color and variations of the wood tones 👍👍

[@udorechner6846]

Very nice platter. The contrasting woods looks so beautiful.

[@darylstorer3369]

Ron, with Ray Worstine comment being spot on, there is nothing for me to say. As a turner, your ever word it spot on to me. I hear and see the same mate. New turners to your KZbin channel Will benefit greatly from what you have shared. All the best cobber.

[@dirtyhairy8884]

Another beautiful masterpiece, good sir!👊 “Thou wilt keep in perfect peace, whose mind stayed : because he trusteth in thee.”

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much! So important!

[@BOSN_BAITS]

Looks beautiful just wish I could enjoy the cedar aromas as you were turning it

Beautiful platter Rod, but what is also impressive but not often mentioned, is getting good close up video of your turning and tool presentation with a camera in the way to make it all the more difficult. So a pat on the back for this skill as well.
