Beautiful bowl. I love the knot on the edge. Phil uses his sand-o-flex every episode.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much James. After seeing Phil using it a few years ago I decided to get a few sand-o-flex's. They do a great job. Prior to getting a them I used a nylon abrasive wheel with a 1/4 inch shaft. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@steveeure5975]

My wife just caught me staring at our two apple trees in the front yard. She asked me "what are you doing?" Sizing up these trees to see how big my bowls will be, I said. She didn't care for my answer. No way she said. I told her to look what Gary made with an apple blank though. She was impressed with the bowl, but not my plans. Gary, stunning work as usual. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Steve! Well I get the same thing when I stare at all the huge burls on our Siberian Elm tree. She likes my bowls I have made from burls but I best not cut any off this tree if I know what is good for me. We had it trimmed two years ago and there was burls way up there. The whole trunk section is just full of burls...sorry I had to take a second to wipe the tears out of my eyes while I realized that is where they will be staying LOL. I would not cut that tree down because I love it as much as she does. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@ronnielloyd4514]

Your work is fantastic. Glad to here you mention Phil Anderson.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Ronnie. Phil is not only a great wood turner he is also a great guy. We met a few years ago. Phil put out a video and I was in it for a minute or so. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@nedmagnan8816]

Bowl looks great. Phil would be proud of that dismount!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Ned! Phil did mention it was a good one! Thanks for watching, Gary

[@scottfonner]

Phil has me performing the final cut off too, but I'm with you, scared as can be until it's over. Lovely piece.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Scott. When the piece is heavy and out of balance I will play it safe. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@nighteagle317]

That apple really has awesome features and fabulous grain. Fantastic work !! Cheers, Paige

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Paige, happy you liked it and thanks for watching. Gary

[@bawbreizhartwood]

Hi Gary 😃 Your bowl is beautiful, the finish highlights the beauty of the grain 👍👍👍 great piece 😉

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Morgan, happy you liked it. Take care, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

That is the prettiest piece of Apple I have seen, Gary! Many times it is quite plain and colorless but you got a beauty and made the most of it! I lover everything about his piece including the thick walls. They make for a very substantial, comfortable piece, like something that won't break in a hurry. I appreciate that you worked hard to keep that feature along the top edge in place. And such a beautiful finish! And, whoa, that nub removal! Excellent! LOL! Just a relly nice piece and a fun video to watch. Great job, my friend! 😊 Phil

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Phil. I have not seen any other this nice. I am thinking the branch that had to heal over might have helped create all that color inside. But it is a guess for sure. At first all I thought I had of interest but all that changed once I started cutting the inside. That was a the best nub removal I have had. All I could think was Phil must have taken over on this one without me looking. I had to rerun that section just to make sure it was me LOL. But it was you that should us all the trick. But wait till next week the nub removal is more like I for got to engage my brain when I jammed the gouge into it LOL. See ya later, Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

@@ThePapa1947 OOps! Can't wait! Been there, for sure...

[@qapla]

Nice! Your decision to keep some of that growth/knot was the right choice 👍

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much. For sure I wanted to leave some of it. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Beautiful piece. Apple gives us so many different looks, but always beautiful. You released the full inner beauty. Thanks.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Doug, I love turning Apple and this one just might be the prettiest one I have turned. Although I have an end grain bowl from it that is pretty cool. Thanks for watching.

[@dottyharbison7156]

What a beautiful bowl. There for a minute I thought you were going to take all the bark off. I glad you left it, I love the nature in these bowls. It is truly gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing your work. ❤ 🙃

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Dotty! No that bark is one of the nicest parts of the bowl. Thanks for watching and commenting. Gary

[@dottyharbison7156]

I do love the natural look the bark gives. So many people just get rid of it. It really does something special to a project. Thank you for your reply Gary. Dotty

[@MarklTucson]

Yeah, it looks OK. Seriously, that is really nice; the grain and bark are fantastic. Great job preserving the character.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Mark! It was a lot of fun to turn and it sure has some nice grain and bark. Take care, Gary

[@hawkeye10100]

What a beautiful bowl. The wood was very nice but you did a heck of a job turning it. I hope to see you again next week.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Don, happy you liked it. Same time same place...see you then! Gary

[@martybain2687]

Very pretty. Never knew apple was that pretty.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Marty. Apple can be full of surprises. Thanks for watching, Garu

[@terrylembke8100]

Gary , Thank You for showing that process . That is one beautiful piece of apple . I was amazed with the quality of the bark , after 3 years . That is a winner . You would have to pry that piece out of your sweethearts hands . LOL Beautiful work my friend . Have a pleasant evening . Terry

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Terry. For sure this is not going anywhere. Well none of them do unless I give them as gifts and even then that has to be approved before I do. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@trurex007lee7]

Apple wood grain can be so diverse, great bowl.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Lee and for sure Apple would can be very special. Take care, Gary

[@rayworstine4399]

Oh Wow! We are in agreement. Your turning plan worked very well. The tight bark is amazing. Excellent!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Ray it was a pretty special piece to turn. There is some sentimental memories as well. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@garthkeck2003]

Beautiful job and bowl. Phil would be proud of you cutting that nub.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Garth! I was pretty proud as well. On something very special I will not always cut it all the way off. But things just felt right. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@tonysmith3143]

There’s that or is jacket again! Ha! Very nice bowl.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Ben, this is my favorite jacket for sure. I have plenty of them but this one is what I grab all the time. Glad you liked the bowl as well LOL. Take care, Gary

[@BenNawrath]

Gotta go with what you like!

[@thomasgrimes339]

Very nice piece. Nothing in this world is perfect and you embraced the flaws of this piece very well. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Thomas! For sure perfection does not exist. Even when I glue a piece up and there are no voids or cracks they are not perfect. The grain it self will have areas that are not the same. And that is what makes them interesting. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@SiamWoodShop]

Fabulous bowl Gary, I didn't realise apple could look so rich. Take care, John

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you John, I was surprised as well. Perhaps where the branch healed it caused some changes inside. And I know the tree had something going on and that is why they cut it down. Take care my friend, Gary

[@judithfairchild8620]

Apple looks great. The colors and grain are fabulous!!!

[@judithfairchild8620]

And a laughing frog face

[@ThePapa1947]

You know I was seeing a face there and you nailed it. It does look like a happy frog. Thanks for watching and commenting. Gary

[@janeoverby2151]

That is stunning Gary! I love the holes and cracks this adds to the character of the piece.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Jane! Yes it all just seems to go together. Always nice when we find a piece that nature has prepared for us in such a wonderful way. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@stephendonathan6782]

Beautiful work 👏! The voids and cracks is what makes the piece. Take Care and GOD BLESS 🙏!

[@geraldmoore3686]

A beautiful piece. I prefer to leave any voids as I feel they are part of the character of the piece. Your videos have great content.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Gerald, happy you like them natural like this. I have done a couple turnings where the wood had been in a forest fire and I left the ashes in some of the inclusions. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@mikeyoung8126]

Wow Gary that is absolutely beautiful I love the nature of that piece take care and God bless my friend

Thanks so much Mike! I appreciate you watching and commenting. God Bless! Gary

[@wanderer9588]

Fantastic would add character to anywhere it was displayed

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you. This is one of my favorite Apple bowls I have turned. That and one thin one I turned that really warped a lot. Which left it with a very interesting shape. My wife has snagged it for a snack bowl! Thanks for watching, Gary

[@michaelkirsch9023]

Gorgeous piece of wood. You did a great job uncovering natures beauty.

Thank you Michael, happy you enjoyed it. Gary

One word Beautiful love to see the finish on Apple . All the best from Lincolnshire UK

Thank you Lille and thanks for watching and commenting. Gary

[@mdaley3102]

That Apple wood looks great. I was told it’s not good to turn and cracks a lot but your piece looks beautiful. I like the pinkish hue of the wood. Nice job Gary.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Michael! A lot of people do not like cracks and voids but they do add a lot to the piece. When a piece is this dry I do not expect it to crack anymore than it already has. I think that is a concern with a lot of turners. That and thinking you MUST remove the pith. That is another thing I do not worry all that much about. At least on most wood that I turn. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@paulsimmons390]

Apple wood is a beautiful wood . This bowl is so beautiful wow is a good description for it.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Paul. Yes I have turned some very special pieces of Apple. I just may be turning another piece here soon. Take care, Gary

[@Ronalcock1]

Another great turning Gary, love the wood

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Ron! Take care, Gary

[@joshblumenthal4873]

Beautiful bowl. Good call to keep the walls thick so you could keep the bark feature at the top. Thin walls aren't everything. :)

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks Josh, I struggled to not leave a 4 inch diameter bowl in it just to leave more of that bulge. But this worked out just fine. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@Saltanredpepper]

It's A great Video. I love Applewood The bowl is gorgeous.

Great job Gary! Apple is a really cool wood to turn. I agree that it is very heavy, but well worth the effort. It is a beautiful wood to work with. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Jim, I went to look under my pole shed and I do have a piece that was cut off this one so I will turn it for sure. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@michaelmckenney7214]

Magnificent! Mother nature’s finest and you did great it bringing it out for all to see. Thanks

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Michael. I am still amazed and what is inside some of these pieces. I have one in the lathe right now that is pretty special as well and I did not expect it. That is what keeps this so interesting. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@paulinebradford4823]

It's an absolutely lovely piece, flaws and all. They actually make the piece that little bit more beautiful and very interesting to look at! I think you may well be the only one who'd call them flaws! I call them beauty marks.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Pauline! The actual flaws were flaws in my sanding around the knots. I just could not get all the tear out cleaned up. I call the knots, inclusions and cracks beauty marks as well. Some like to fill them with resin but I like them the way there are just like you. And my wife likes them as well. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@ThePapa1947]

Michael Apple is a real treat to turn. I am sure you will love it. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@michaelmckenney7214]

Gary, this has nothing to do with the apple piece that this is attached to, but I just wanted to thank you for the “wet sanding” tip to fill in cracks. As it turns out I didn’t have any water based sealed but I did have some Zinzer seal coat. So far it works just like the water based. A great find, many thanks!

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you for letting me know Michael. And the Zinsser Seal Coat will work. And I like it for smaller areas. It does setup pretty fast but if you keep it fairly wet I think it should be fine. And based on what you told me it seemed to work very well. Thanks for letting me know . Take care, Gary

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Gary.....Nice one ..Apple wood with a knot (or is that an apple core). When I tune in I always expect something elaborate, mind blowing, laminated and I seem to feel like I need to take notes like back in school, ha. Some times I get lost in your process BUT I LOVE IT!!! No notes this morning and fun to sit back, wake up, have some coffee and enjoy the relaxing process of basic woodturning ( I can kind of turn my brain off ... a bit... ha). Gary your woodturning is always very enjoyable no matter what your turning and each time I always learn something new. Each piece of wood dictates the direction or misdirection you follow to have a finished piece. Applewood is beautiful...TM

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you tuffy! Apple wood can be very special. I will have more of those crazy glue ups coming but these are nice to do. This piece of wood has a lot of sentimental value to us. Thanks for watching, Gary

So very nice 👍 Apple 🍎 is nice wood

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Luie! For sure Apple is a beautiful wood and a dream to turn. At least if it does not have a lot of knots in it. I need to look because I think I might have a piece I cut off from this some time ago. Take care, Gary

[@davesullivan3289]

Gary: What a beautiful bowl you have turned again. I’m going to try and find some apple wood turn. My only problem is that I have a midi lathe with the belt drive to change speeds not a digital speed. I really like watching you and Phil do your turnings and your time and effort you put into your craft. Thank You

[@ThePapa1947]

Thanks so much Dave. Nothing wrong with a belt drive lathe. That is what I learned on and turned some massive sized patterns at work using a lathe with the old flat belt system. Yes one with a electronic speed is nice but the function of a lathe is to spin the wood and they both do that. Thanks for watching and commenting, Gary

I love the videos, voice sound is good and loud and easy to hear and the actual turning sound is a little lower not making your ears bleed if you use headphones, it is amazing, thank you for that, so many other turners do not do that at all, beautiful "i dont know" bowl though haha

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you Michael. Not complaining but I do go through a lot of work lowering the sound while cutting and then fading it back in for voice. I do not care for full volume wood turning either. The software makes it easy and I just have to choose the place I want to do it. Happy you enjoy that part of my videos. Well I did not know for over a year what I wanted to do with it. Having lots of other wood I had plenty of time to figure it out. But it was stored under my shed for well over a year. Thanks for watching, Gary
