Thank You Gary... I had to stop your show & lookup/learn about the Mimosa tree. Very nice grain structure and the white sapwood reminds me of rubber tree wood from the furniture at Cost Plus Imports. I like the tapered top & shape of your turning this morning. Looks like that Sanding Sealer really sucked into that grain after turning the top.

As a beginner I'm always wondering why I'm taking so long to do the simplest of things, then I realise it's because it takes time ... the biggest mistake is watching a professional thinking that they are powering through the wood, but they're not ... I know they're faster than me, but I'll get the speed eventually 👍 With regards this piece, the wood is amazing and the overall shape is yummy (if that makes sense) 👍 Was the Siberian Elm quaking when you started looking at it 🤣

Thank you Barry. For sure it does take time and in order to do a video at a length were it stays interesting I am sure we all have to speed things up a little. I look at it the same as when I use to do a lot of dirt bike riding and climbing hills. There were guys that would speed up the hill as fast as they could. I myself would take my time and enjoy the experience. To me making a nice smooth cut is enjoyable. Not only that it is the best way to get a smooth cut. The Siberian Elm used to try to hide every time I went out back. We have developed a good trust now. It knows I will not cut it down as long as it promises not to drop big branches on our roof LOL Take care, Gary
