Ten Minute Mimosa Wood Turning Is It Possible

I turn a beautiful piece of Mimosa. The turning part took less than 10 minutes. This not counting the sanding or finishing but that was pretty fast as well.

We cut down a dead mimosa about 10 years ago. If I had known, then what I know now I probably would’ve kept everything a little bit I could have. That is simply gorgeous.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Lynda. If we had only known so many things. I would have kept the 1950 Chev 2dr. Hardtop I had. We did have 2 Leland Cypress trees cut down 10 years ago. I was going to keep a bunch of that but it is rather plain looking. So it became firewood. Thanks for watching, Gary

Thank You Gary, Thank You John... Beautiful wood, wonderful turning today. That heat is a killer and can sure put a stop on the creative energy. I look forward to next Friday at your woodshop Gary... TM

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Yup, the wood character is what makes this bowl outstanding. Though not a bad job by the turner either! 😉

Boy, as soon as you hit that with sanding sealer it just popped! Beautiful wood! It's amazing how fast some of these small turnings can go, especially when you can turn at a fast speed. Great finish on that little beauty, Gary! Great job, my friend, keep'em coming! 😀 Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Phil. It was looking kind of drab but I knew from the last piece of Mimosa it would wake up. It woke up as nice as can be. Small is good especially after doing the end grain version of this wood. I think it was a bit too much for my shoulder so back to same smaller ones and glue ups. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary

Beautiful bowl and great use of that beautiful wood, Gary. I enjoyed the amount of real time turning.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Jay. I realized this did not take so long so I did not have to speed any of the turning up. It would be nice to do that all the time but pretty sure a 2 hour video would not be much fun to watch. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@jayscott306]

@ThePapa1947 Yes, you kind of need the turning pace of Richard Raffan to squeeze bowls into a time frame under an hour. I think incorporating a little bit at key points is perfect. And I've always enjoyed your edits for the amount of sound and real time turning you include before you quiet it and speed it up.

[@ThePapa1947]

I have only seen a few of his videos and what I have seen have been small with a fairly simple shape. Have not seen him mount a piece of a log on his lathe and turn it. But maybe he has.

[@markbahlke9091]

Excellent work Gary. Really pretty result. I am a long way from a 10 minute turning. I find that if I hurry, mistakes are made, and injuries happen. So I usually try to take my time. But it's good to know that a pretty, small bowl can be produced in a short time. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Mark. I do not rush my turnings either and was surprised how little time this took to make. I spent more time putting the finish on it than turning. I sometimes take days to do a turning. Such as doing segments. So it was sure fun to do something quick and easy. Thanks for watching, Gary

Beautiful timber Gary. Don’t get much mimosa down here, however it it’s a serious invasive bush in Nth Oz.looks a lot like wattle which I turn. Upon investigation it’s hard to tell the 2 species apart. Your video is great as usual and your turning is almost mesmerising. Love your work. I still find your older videos that I haven’t seen occasionally. Thanks for sharing. Oh by 5he way a quick turn. Our wattle is rather a hard wood and can be difficult at times to turn. This mimosa didn’t seem that difficult. You mentioned that it was hard wood though.

Thanks so much Greg. Sorry I am late on this reply! Gary

[@snobear41]

What a beautiful grain, There are a few mimosa trees near where I live, I will have to talk to the owners and ask they call me if the ever get limbs off in a storm etc. Watching you deal with the heat I am so glad I decided to put in heat/AC and insulate real well when I converted what was a 20x24 storage shed to a dedicated woodshop. Lungs @ 27% I don't handle heat/ humidity real well :-(

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much. I did insulate when I walled it in and did have AC but it was in a smaller room in back of the shop. Our temperatures rarely reach that high and it is usually pretty mild around here. But this was a real shocker. I think if I moved faster in the morning and could get everything done before it does get hot. Even small limbs have pretty nice grain and can be made into something. Nice to have bigger pieces though. Thanks for watching, Gary

I really like your videos. That little bowl is lovely, and your enthusiasm in this, as in all your videos, is infectious. Makes me want to rush out to the lathe right now!
