Wood Turning The Most Beautiful Walnut Ever

I turn a stubborn the most beautiful piece of English Walnut that I have ever worked with. This piece had cracks and ring separation. I tried a few methods to save it. I did not try resin on it because of how it effects me.
Starbond CA and sawdust worked the best.
But it was well worth the extra work.
I finished with Zinsser Seal Coat and Zinsser Shellac
I then used Ack Sanding Paste and Ack Polish/Restoring Paste
It was turned using bowl gouges and a negative rake scraper

I never throw away, I always stick it out to the end. I learn things I didn't know I needed to learn like that! Lolol

For sure it is always best to keep going till the end. You just never know what you will end up with. Thanks for watching. Gary

Wow -Just Wow! Good solid wood can be boring, cracks and flaws can add character, and you did it just right!

[@rolandgower5434]

Yes, it was worth it. The most difficult pieces of wood can often turn out looking the most spectacular. Mother Nature spends decades creating these pieces. All they need is someone capable of shaping and finishing them. Nice bowl.

[@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 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???
