Love it when a turner says this is one of my best pieces. It reveals so much about the turner and what he/she values. You speak eloquently for that which nature has supplied.

Thank you very much. Ray. For sure this is one of my pieces with the best grain I have come across. I just always hope it is still there when I am done turning it. But looking a the bottom I could see I would not turn past it. That is when I know I can pretty much give it the shape I want. Thanks for watching, Gary
I never grow tired of seeing chatoyance. Amazing every time! 😁😁😁

Thank you very much Don. I appreciate your comments and am really happy you like my channel. All I can say if you love wood turning like I do then you need a lathe. I am 76 and my first turning was in a grade school shop class. I turned a lot at work as a wood patternmaker. I still have not got tired of it. I am sure you will love it. Let me know what you decide. Take care, Gary
As always, a beautiful project. I had a friend as a child, an older man who lived nearby. He used to sit in his chair at night & eat popcorn. He liked to find shapes, especially faces, hidden in the pieces. He was a sweet, very active gentleman. We were 6 children with a single mother in a depressed area & he was good to us. He and his wife were very generous and hard working. In some ways, you remind me of him.

I have been a fan of yours for some time. I am a wood turner also. I started when my wife died. It gave me something to keep my mind from the sadness of loss. I admire your talents. I sell my bowls at a ceramic store and it pays for my hobby. I keep watching to see what you come up with all the time. Keep on keeping on and get a warm place to work or cool which ever is needed.

YES, YES I do love it. Wish the AI didn’t object to my first statement, something about questionable wood and a loss of time. Seems the AI doesn’t understand humor between friends. Beautiful wood and some great turning to give the opportunity it needed to shine. This blank begged to be natural edge. Thanks for listening. That crotch figure is marvelous. Thanks as well for the mention.

Thank you very much Doug and I knew you would. For sure it was saying natural edge the minute I picked it up. With the nice bark you get much more heart wood and then you get that flame. It showed up on the chain saw cut and I was very excited to see. So Ai filtered something you said? Now you have me wondering what it was. What did they do take it down? Email me a copy it sounds like it was very funny. Take care, Gary

Wow, I wish we grew walnut down in Oz, that grain is absolutely amazing. Plus your turning and finish really added to whole piece. The inside bottom is really flat which is a testament to your turning ability. You obviously only use sharp tools as you don’t appear to get much tear out. Our shed gets some walnut which has been laminated benchtop for kitchens. I like turning this as it turns easily even for hardwood and the colours and variations in grain and depth of colour of walnut is truly great. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much Greg. It seems like your climate would work for Walnut. Maybe nobody had any seeds back then. I was sure wanting a nice large flat bottom in this one to show off the grain. Sharp tools are very important to avoid tear out for sure. My grinder is right behind me and when I get close to the finishing cuts I usually touch it up on the 350 CBN wheel. I have some kiln dried Walnut lumber and it is very nice to turn. Thanks for watching, Gary

Another beautiful walnut bowl. Can’t go wrong with a live edge because of the distinctive thick bark. There was no train in Ketchikan last time I was there.
@ThePapa1947
7 ай бұрын
Thanks Valerie. That bark certainly is thick. Certainly makes you slow down when cutting at the edge. So was the train just not running? Good story about that train ride. We booked a helicopter ride that landed on a glacier right before the train ride. We was concerned with getting back to the train and they promised we would get back. They shuttle the two of us back in a van instead of the bus. In the big hurry to get going I left a mini pair of binoculars in the life jacket we had to wear on the chopper. Called them after figuring it out and they said yes we found them. They mailed to our home at no cost.
Beautiful bowl, Gary. I even saw some chatoyance in the bottom while you were turning it. Bill
