Wood turning Bradford Pear a few different pieces of it

Hello Thanks for tuning in,
In this video I will be turning a few different pieces of Bradford Pear,
The person that brought this log to me said it had been laying on the ground after it was cut about a year and a half, then he loaded it up and brought it to me and it probably laid on the ground about 3 or 4 months, He brought it up from about 2 hours drive south from where I live in North Georgia, The tree has some pretty cool orange reddish colors in it, also some spalting on the outer parts of the log.
Hope you enjoy the video,
This video is for entertainment purposes only,
I am not a professional.
The music is from the Videoleap editing app.

    Hi 👋, Kimsey , I hope you are all keeping safe and well, stunning looking 👀 wood, with dramatic music, 🎵, it was great to watch, and to listen to, as I listen to my music and KZread channels, through my handmade transmission line, loudspeaker cabinets, that I built just over 40 years ago, They produce dramatic bass, I/we look forward to seeing how you finished your bowls, Hopefully in a future territorial, stay safe, keep up the great work, Phil from the moulin France

    Howdy Phil! 👋 That’s pretty cool! I love a good sound system and some good bass, that’s Awesome 😎 I like dramatic music as you can see 😄 Definitely gonna have a follow up video of them finished, the moisture content was to high at the time to apply a finish, maybe have a video of them with a finish on them in a week or so, Take care buddy 🤝

    Thanks buddy, they are doing better than I expected 😊 few cracks formed in the pieces I threw in the fire but they follow through with the charred lines, nothing to major, gonna have a follow up video of all of them, thankfully the charred ones didn’t crack all the way in half that’s pretty rough on wood, just heat from a torch but thrown in the fire, just hoping for the best 🤞😄 Have a good one 🤝

    Wow, I only have a mini lathe (10x18) and I just cut down a huge bradford pear in my back yard early this spring that had been split by a storm. I should have enough wood from it to last me for years! LOL! Had I known I was going to get a lathe I'd have saved the big black walnut limbs and maple limbs that came down in a storm last year.

    That’s pretty cool it’s some Beautiful wood😎 I started out on a lathe that was intended for spindle turning only, didn’t have the correct tool rest for bowl turning and that’s what I wanted to turn was bowls, didn’t get bowl turning lathe till years down the road, I think the first thing I did on that lathe was turning a pine baseball bat, I ruined it through throwing rocks up into the air and hitting the rocks with it making massive dents in the bat, I didn’t have much sense when I was younger 😅 I also did manage to turn a few bowls on that lathe anyway because I was determined to do it, I’ve always kept it in my thoughts, where there’s a will there is a way, sometimes it’s a dangerous way though I had some lessons I learned scary ones Lol but I learned, a few things not too do on that lathe, just did the best I could with what I had, Take care and Happy turning 🤝

    Glad ya enjoyed the video Phil!😎 Yep it was pretty big stuff, it came from south of here about 2 hours away a man hawled it up here, one of his requests was burnt charred round bowl’s 🔥 He liked the other charred stuff I had did but wanted round bowl and told me to feel free to 🧪 so I did, hopefully that was his vision he was trying to explain to me, ended up pulling some more stuff out of that fire that I had thrown in later through the day just couldn’t let go of them 😄 just couple other pieces, Have a good one buddy 🤝

This wood is stunning it's just beautiful and I love what you made with it. I am really looking forward to seeing the finish going onto these bowls - have you decided what finish to use yet? Great editing too. And I love how you are able to put material back onto the turning blank just by putting your lathe in reverse! 🤣 All the best to you mate - thanks for the entertainment!
