Woodturning: Croc-I-Gator Conifer. 😁 Bird’s Mouth Bowls and Weed Pots

I brought home some alligator juniper from our trip out west because I love the bark and wanted to try some pieces with the bark remaining. Bird’s mouth bowls and weed pots made good choices for this, especially since the branch I brought home was only about 4.5” in diameter.

    Awww, Lisa. I would have admired and appreciated those three pieces to the point of nearly drooling, had it not been for the effect of the blue patching material you used. You still get a thumbs up for presenting good videos. 👍

    Thanks Noah! I get it and am with you for the most part. Wasn’t my intended outcome but sometimes 💩 happens 🤷‍♀️🤣. But it’s a good reminder that everyone has different tastes and just because something may not be my favorite, doesn’t mean someone else won’t like it. I sold this little pot about an hour after I posted this video so yay for beauty being in the eye of the beholder! 😃

    That is a really cute bowl! If you don't like the blue you can always Dremel it down just a little bit and then use your colored epoxy on top of it to cover it. That way it will be the color you want and you would have the milliput as the backing to hold the resin in.

    Hi Micah! That’s a great idea - although in the meantime I’ve sold the pot with the turquoise so I guess lots of people liked it just fine. And another turner suggested that robin’s egg blue was quite appropriate for a bird’s mouth pot and I thought, why yes, yes it is! 😁

    Never seen that type of juniper before, very interesting. Both the little pots and the vases looked like fun projects, the grain and bark adding a lot to the final pieces. I agree it is too bad about the holes from the pith, I wish the resin would have worked, I'm personally not fond of the turquois look.

    Hey Micheal! The Milliput comes in two solid logs, a whitish and the turquoise color, and then you mix them together until uniform. It comes in tons of different colors, I just only have the turquoise. I’m not sure that it would set properly if I mixed in extra stuff, tho I did think about it - great minds and all 🙃
