Wood Turning Flying Red Cedar Did I Save It

[@dalekuhlman1009]

I very much like the shape you turned that into. Great job.

You've crafted a honey jar that'd make Winnie the Pooh proud :P

Thank you very much! Had not noticed it till all the comments saw it. I guess I did not watch Winnie all that much LOL

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

A beautiful piece of Red Cedar becomes even more beautiful in your hands, Gary! I really like your design for this piece. It's funny how you can be turning, thinking one thing and then your gouge stops and you see something else. Your keen eye saw that rim appearing and what we have as a result is a finely crafted vessel with a great finish! A little broken tenon didn't even slow you down! Great job, my friend! 😃 Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Phil. Not really sure why I just stopped. I had semi decided it was just going to be a smooth cut to the end of the piece. Sure glad I did stop as I like this shape much better than the one I thought about doing. But like you know it is kind of an exploring trip and your gouge is the GPS system. For some reason I just said OOPS to myself when it came off. Nothing needed to be bleeped out LOL. It was fun solving how to get it centered back up and I got lucky. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary

[@charlesreicks648]

I like the look of that wood. The shape reminds me of a Honey Pot. Sorry to hear about your shoulder. Thanks Tim

Good afternoon, Gary. Today was a great day to watch you turn a bowl. Actually, any day is a good day to watch you turn a bowl. It's very enjoyable watching the shavings coming off the tools. That sure was an unexpected surprise seeing the bowl coming off your lathe. Your bowl as very nice and it was fun watching the process. All the best to you, my friend. Ray

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Gary.... Quite a relaxing viewing. Sitting here slowly watching you figure out the logistics of what you want from your Red Cedar. Very comfortable show today. Watching you turn than rewind a bit, get some more coffee, watch a bit more, rewind, and make your show last. I watch and I also think of my own game plan for my work day. YES GARY I am using you for my own Friday morning shop work, HA . Because you do help to fire me up to get going. That is a good thing Gary getting other folks to try out new and different ideas. When it flew off and you lost your locater I was thinking how (in machining) we modify or make our own sacrificial jaws for holding to complete the job as you know in your machine shop. Your 20+ minute show lasted me over 50 minutes (had to go out and bring the garbage cans in so make that a one hour show for me today, ha)..... Until next time Gary..... TM

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you TM. It was a very relaxing turning for me as well. Even when it flew off the lathe. I was sure happy it fit around those larger jaws and I was able to get it centered. But I had plan B ready for action. As you know there are not many things we can not get mounted back up. Good ole independent 4 jaw chucks are a good thing. They do make those for wood lathes as well. Happy you enjoyed this one my friend and you had your morning coffee while watching. Gary

Well, look at what ya gone, did and done! Another nice bowl and great save after tenon broke. I like the color and shape. Leaving the bug trails only gives the piece more character. It you turn them away, you may have not had much wood to work with in the final product. From this end of the inner web I give it 👍👍👍👍👍.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you John. Yes this was one beautiful piece of Cedar. Makes me want to go ask about some of the wood from the Redwood that came down about 1/2 mile from us. Been sitting in the peoples yard for months now. It is deep deep red. The cut it kind of strange. Half the length of the diameter it looks. But they are big around. Thanks for watching, Gary

As usual you made the right choice on the shape. I didn't see a catch that tore the tenon off, there must have been a tiny crack or flaw in the sapwood in just the wrong spot. Hot glue saved the day again. As at least one other comment I think it looks like a honey pot from a Winnie the Pooh story.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Gil. Now there was no catch. I think the pressure of the tool against the side wall was just too much. And I could see that yes there was a crack at that point. Honey Pot it is!

Thank you Dana. I do not turn all that much. We have lots of Western Cedar here and most is pretty plain looking. I did turn some a friend gave me from all the trees they had cut down. Really big ones. I turned him a very large salad bowl and I think I may still have a piece laying around. I love this Red Cedar and this one turned nice except for the tenon issue. If I get some more I will hot glue a tenon on for the cross grain turnings. Thanks for watching, Gary

I know that Kent at Turn a Wood Bowl advocates for a tenon over a mortise. But in my own experience, as well as watching an awful lot of wood turning videos, I can't remember ever seeing a piece come flying off that was mounted with a mortise. But I've seen and experienced pieces come flying off that were mounted with a tenon. I go with a mortise when there's enough wood to work with, and I glue a block on for a faceplate when there isn't enough wood there. Thanks for the video, Gary! Blessings!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Dave. He has his own opinions and that it fine with me. I try to use what might be best for the piece. On a very thin piece of wood I will use the recess because the tenon will cut away a lot of the height. I had could have used a recess but Cedar is not very strong(as you saw) and I did not trust a recess with the jaws pushing against the wood. The best bet would have been to just go ahead and hot glue a tenon on, You loose nothing on the bottom and it is not going to split off. I think you have the right idea for doing this for sure.

[@denocro3586]

@@ThePapa1947 I use a lot of jarrah where I live Gary and I find it is generally ok but you have to be wary that you dont over tighten on the tennon. If you hear any slight cracking sound be ready to duck. If you are spindle turning be aware of long splinters, they can spike you like small arrows. Having said it is still one of my favorites due to the wide colour variations.

[@qapla]

Great looking piece - I think you picked the right shape. I have some red cedar, too. It's always interesting to see what the wood looks like inside - with cedar, you never really know until you cut and/or turn it. I like the shape. The cedar is softer than many woods, but it still turns nicely, and the wood comes alive when you apply the finish. You could have simply drilled the inside and not hollowed it and left it for a glass receptacle insert. While you rest that shoulder it would be a good time to do a video review about your Laguna lathe now that you have considerable time using it. Also, maybe you could do another video about your lathe accessories, chucks, jigs, turning tools, sanding equipment, etc. What things you feel are "essential", what you use that are more of a luxury and what you have but never use. Take care of those shoulders!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much. For sure Red Cedar is a pretty special wood. I have few turnings I did where I inserted glass in it for flowers.

Great form, Gary! And well done embracing the natural features. I'm getting better at appreciating and including them. It was a good recovery, after the flight. I'm been studying the styles & techniques of Richard Raffan and Tomislav Tomasic, lately. They've taught me a lot about getting a piece of wood on the lathe. and I'm so much more relaxed about those chucking points, including them in numerous pieces in case the piece needs a flip or tow to refine. That said, I'll always take a square shoulder and dovetail, but I'll soon share with you a nearly finished project in which I tried to break a lot of rules, including chucking. Oh, and it includes segmenting, so I'll just leave that there. :) Hope that should is well, soon. We're getting over our first round of covid. Could be worse. Could be better. Very good video for an easy one, as you called it.

I told him that you have so many wonderful techniques in just this one video, even a catch that you were willing to share. Told him to subscribe and learn from a master!!! Cedar is so soft it’s no wonder that the tenon broke. Thanks again, and keep ‘em coming!!!

Thanks so much Van. I appreciate you watching and sharing my videos. Take care Gary

By intention or by luck, it makes no difference, you nailed the shape. I think you did pretty well with the finish too. 👍👍 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂 PS I'm glad the back/shoulder is getting better.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much. I am very happy with the shape and happier I slowed down on that cut and was able to see the option. Shoulder is off and on. This morning it is on. I should be hearing from the specialist soon to setup and appointment. Thanks for asking. Gary

Nice save Gary! That turned out beautifully. I just love the look of cedar. It’s quite a coincidence, I have a piece on the lathe right now that is almost exactly that shape, but reversed so that it has a short pedestal base much like your top rim. It’s an old piece of very cracky cherry that I thought I’d experiment with, but now wish it was a nicer blank. Oh well, now I’ll spend twice as long fixing the cracks, because I really like where it’s going. Thanks for showing that remount!! Cheers, Rick

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Rick. I have spent lots of time saving a piece that I just did not want to give up on. So far I have been very happy I did. I have to say I was shocked that it broke off. But I should not have been as Cedar is not a real strong wood. Best of luck on the one you are working on. Gary

Great save Gary. Turned out really well. Love the contrasting colours of the grain.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Greg. Too nice of a piece to not at least try. As it turned out it was a very easy fix. Thanks for watching, Gary
