Thanks so much. It may feel slow at first but keep at it and it will get going.

[@tuffymartinez]

Thank You Gary...Very much enjoy watching you turn. I also very much enjoy looking past you at your interesting shop. LOTS to see and FUN to watch. .. When I was in my 20's & full of energy I slowly removed a large (4' diameter base) Black Walnut tree from my backyard alone (with a 2 man handsaw). It took several months, I even dug up & levered out the big root ball (where did that energy come from & where is it now, ha). I did not save much of it as I should have, ugh. What a waste when not repurposed. .. I look forward to Friday mornings to watch your newest strategy. You certainty did not disappoint this morning. THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF WALNUT, CRACKS AND ALL!!! Your Walnut bowl is a SHOW STOPPER! One of your very best Gary ....TM

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you TM. Maybe I will try and get some other views of the shop now and then. Trouble is I get an idea that might take my mill for a special jig and leave everything on it and get back to my turning. So I have some things to straighten up before showing more LOL. My poor smaller mill does not get used much anymore. But I do have the 4th axis I made mounted there just waiting. Might be time for turning with some outside carvings??? Thanks for watching my friend. Take care, Gary

Papa, YES, it was worth the effort! There is something about walnut that makes it ideal for getting a beautiful object out therefrom.

[@geraldmoore3686]

I heard a turner say onetime, if you don't want to deal with cracks, you should work with glass. Cracks are fine with me, because they represent the character of the wood. This piece should tell anyone that cracks don't spoil the turning. For sure one of the most beautiful pieces I have seen of late. I really enjoy watching you share your skills.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Gerald. I have been told so many times I should have cut all the pith out of the wood. In this case the whole piece would be gone. I very seldom cut the pith out of the wood as it adds a lot to the piece. Happy you enjoy my videos and thanks for watching. Gary

Thank you Peter for your very kind words. This was a lot of fun to turn.

[@jayscott306]

Gary, that is just the finest piece, ever! A person could watch a 360 view for hours to admire it, fully. You're correct, it was worth the effort. I'd have guessed Phil was in the shop with you, based on much of the choices you made. I'll admit, I'd have built a hot glue reservoir and filled it with resin, but the stuff I use is pretty mild and I'm not criticizing your body's reaction to it. As for sharing with the local guys, they might get offended at the young guy telling them how to handle those challenges. I respect safety, but sometimes the risk and effort are the only way to reach the level of this piece. Thank you for the lesson and enjoyable Friday evening watch.

[@ThePapa1947]

Thank you very much Jay. After I got the finish done I just wanted to take it in and just look at it . But the tenon needed to be removed. Then I could breath easy. So the resin is something I avoid. Short story I used resin for years as a wood pattern maker. In 2006 I lost all my sense of smell. Doctors could never figure it out. The resins I have used for wood turner are more of a burning feel than an odor so I feel it best to not mess with it. But I have used a little but not often. Last time was to save a piece of Juniper and I could sense the stuff in my shop for days. It was so strong I actually could smell something. So that is my reasons. Thanks for watching, Gary

[@jayscott306]

@@ThePapa1947 I was certain you had good reasons, and hope I'm not being reckless when I do use it. Lots of ventilation but it still is in my shop in the basement. I'm glad that I find the stuff I used to be very inoffensive when it's being mixed, poured and turned. That doesn't mean we all smell dangerous things, though.

[@ThePapa1947]

@@jayscott306 not at all. The doctors never could figure it out. But I know when making a large fiberglass core box it can get really bad. Putting down 3 or 4 layers of fiberglass cloth and soaking it with epoxy resin is not the best thing to do. As the resin starts to kick off the fumes get heavy. I have used gallons and gallons of epoxy, urethane and polyester resin. So basically I have my fill of it. I am sure what you are doing is just fine!
