Thank you Doug. The maple strip was an option. Only to not lose any diameter. I could not break up the flow of the grain in this one. So after jointing the edge and looked at the match there was no question. On a very straight grained piece of walnut yes it would work. I was thinking about you as I glued it together. Was pretty sure you would like it. Merry Christmas my friend. Gary

Walnut is the best and you made the correct decision!!

Thanks so much Ralph. For sure I was not going to put the maple or any other wood in there just to keep it 1/2 inch wider. Some who did not know the story would be wondering why in heck did I cut a piece just to put a strip of maple in it. This wood speaks for itself and speaks pretty loud at that. Now to look for the other pieces I saved after cutting up the stump. Thanks for watching, Gary

Absolutely beautiful Gary. I think you made the right call not putting in the contrast piece. The grain of this bowl speaks volumes for itself.

I wasn’t sure about your choice at first, I’ve filled chainsaw cuts with epoxy in the past which has turned out very nice but that bowl when finished was magnificent and you can’t see the join at all. Great choice gary. It’s a pity you lost diameter and height whilst turning however, who cares when you see finished product. I was a little surprised to see you using carbide tools in your turning, you are such a traditionalist with your turning and could have easily used parting tools for same result. I really enjoy your videos gary. Keep them coming. The variety and techniques used are great.

Thanks Rick. I have it a lot of thought on filling the cut. But wanted to cut it and hold it together then choose. The grain match as perfect as you could want and I think it looks so much better all Walnut. Now if it was a Cherry slab i would have filled that with Walnut. Thanks for watching, Gary
