Wow, this is another gorgeous bowl. The pearl red is so delicious looking. Putting it with the apple pieces, then turning this. A dynamic duo. I never thought turning wood with cut off branches, that so many would use in smoking meat. I absolutely love, love this bowl. You walk us through everything. I learned to make stained glass years ago. That is cool. This is amazing. Thank you again for sharing this artistry.

I have two apple trees that have been in my yard since my parents planted them in the 60's. They are in bad shape and I will be taking them down to make something for my kids who grew up eating the apples off these trees. This post was an inspiration, as have a few others as to what I'll do with the trees, especially the smaller limbs.. I've also got a few neat cracks that I think will be awesome filled with gold inside dark blue hypershift epoxy. Thanks, Jim.

Stunning. I love your comments about how you get wood for your projects. I am relatively new to turning but lucky for me I am already tripping over bowl blank material in the yard. In May of this year we had a tornado rip thru our little town. I was out helping the neighbourhood with my chainsaw and tree climbing skills. In many cases people just gave me the wood for helping them get the sometimes 30 inch diameter black walnut trees off of their roof or car. We have a sawmill at the house so some made it to lumber and other pieces like crotch and burls made it to the bowl blank pile. We have a pressure pot being delivered today so I cannot wait to try it out on a piece like the one you just finished. Keep up the good work. I still plan on dropping by one day to see your shop. cheers

Super cool! I'm a salesman with an electrical supply company; I have 3 customer accounts that are hardwood sawmills. They keep me well supplied with local and exotic hardwood cut-offs but the peices aren't very large. It's a win win though because I'll make a sales call and help them with any equipment they need and they'll give me peices of species I've never heard of. I also have a couple arborist friends and I like to climb trees so I'll help them with jobs and get to keep some good sized logs. My wife got me one of those coffee cup inserts but I haven't decided what to do with it yet. I love the epoxy work you do and I've played with some epoxy inlays, pen blanks, and I've make some epoxy/wood duck calls that look great but I haven't spent the money on any deep cast to try something bigger.

A suggestion for people looking for wood, maybe reach out to an Amish community or those who log wood for furniture. They tend to leave a bunch of off cuts behind that they can’t use and most of the land owners especially farmer would be glad to see the “waste” taken away for them. I am currently helping a gentleman I met through a local ren faire get wood from my grandmother’s farm (Black Walnut) and in exchange for all the wood he could ever want he’s making me some goblets and he’s also said he’d make a bowl for my grandmother. He makes beautiful mugs with the bark and moss still on the outside I gifted my dad one of his mugs several years ago as a Father’s Day gift. The goblets will be wedding and Christmas gifts for my family.
