Thank you very much I appreciate it! Glad you like it 😎

Thanks! 😎

Howdy Paul! I appreciate it!😎 I’m doing good buddy, hope you are too, Have a good one 🤝

Howdy Gary! Yep been just a little busy 😄 Those things are drying pretty good, We didn’t have as bad weather here as other places did, We are having some cooler temperatures here also in the morning, the days are nice and warm though still, haven’t turned on our heater yet either, was 44 degrees Fahrenheit this morning, Take care buddy 🤝

Howdy Heather! Yep I think that was my favorite of em too, the different shades of green are something else, I was hoping to find some feathering grain since that chunk of wood had all those tree branches that had grown on it but didn’t find any at all, I was contemplating on a chunk of Black walnut for the next project 😁 It’s a piece of a walnut tree root

Thanks I appreciate it!😎

Howdy Ernie! Yep some pretty neatO looking grain, I was sweating a little bit turning it though about it flying apart in areas 😬 Have a good one Buddy glad you enjoyed the video 😎

Yep Lee it’s just like a box of chocolates as Forrest Gump said, ya just don’t know what you’re gonna get!😎

Thanks!😊 It is some pretty cool wood! Happy Turning😎

Thanks David 😎, they are drying pretty well want be to much longer.

Howdy Peter! Thanks I appreciate it!😎 I’m glad it stayed together to i was sweating a little on that stuff 😬😄 They are drying pretty good, want be to much longer and I’ll get a finish on em to show, was my pleasure to share the process, Have a good one Buddy 🤝

It’s actually my Dad’s 😄 I worked for my dad for years we built kitchen cabinets, we sawed our own lumber also have a dry kiln, custom built cabinets and furniture fireplace mantles and stuff, Have a good one buddy 🤝

Thanks!😎

😎

Howdy Gary! Thanks I appreciate it!😎 Yep I hear they ain’t supposed to get that big either but I guess it does just depend on the place as you said, I didn’t even know about the stuff until my neighbor told me about his he had and the power company cut it down couple years or so ago that had grown into the power lines, figured I would just soak it good, can’t see the grain good with all those soap suds 🫧 😄 I got crate Myrtle trees in my yard, I may have to get a Redbud tree to, Have a good one Buddy 🤝

Thanks John!😎

Thanks Buddy Glad ya enjoy the videos!😎 Have a good one 🤝

Yep some crazy colors, so far they are doing good surprisingly after the stuff I did a couple ago I was a little bit worried about serious warpage but so far so good keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 still though!😄

Thanks Phil I appreciate it!!😎 Yep they definitely were iffy looking 😅 quite a bit of rotten places in the wood, so far they are drying decent, still keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 though! Have a good one!

I wouldn’t have this stuff to turn myself but a friend brought it to me, last time I got my hands on some, the tree had grown into the power lines and the power people cut that one down, If any of the trees happens to grow into the power line you may get a good excuse to have one cut down and get to turn some then! 😎 Power people cut the trees down for free if it gets in the way of the power lines. Have a good one buddy 🤝 maybe you will get to turn some soon.

​@@kimseyjustkimsey5256 thank you very much! I'm going to turn all I can while I still can. Have a wonderful day!

Yep it is quite a bit easier! 😎

Wish I had a small sawmill like that!

​@@STMwoodturningme too!

Thanks! I appreciate it!😎🤝 It is some pretty neat wood too work with, so far it is drying well, keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 that it doesn’t crack all to pieces.

Thanks I appreciate it!😎 🤝

Thanks Bruce! 😎

Thanks for the compliment 😎

Thanks for the info on how it is holding, that’s good to know 😎 I’ve got to get a couple bowls made with it so me and my wife can do some testing on it as well. I just put one coat of the oil and one of the wax.

Howdy Stuart Thanks I appreciate it! 😎 I’ve never sanded to 600 grit before I bet that’s as slick as glass!

Thanks for the advice Lee!👍 I knew of a place where there was so many cherry trees they were burning it for firewood in North Carolina, they are quite a few walnut trees here too in certain areas, cow pastures and peoples yards mostly, I love turning the black walnut but the dust is pretty rough,

@@kimseyjustkimsey5256 l have to be more careful with it too. I wear one of those arm sleeves you see BB players wear to reduce the amount of contact with my skin. I’ve heard it is easy to develop an allergy to it and at times I’ve had some skin irritation. It’s not much protection but every bit helps.

Howdy Ray thanks buddy!😎 Yep I really like that walnut oil too, was a good easy finish, I just put one coat of oil and one of the wax Ive got to put one of the bowls to use to see how it holds up, Have a good one 🤝

Howdy Phil! Thanks I appreciate it!😎 There are quite a bit of them here and there, some down the road over the road im always cringing a little hoping a walnut doesn’t fall and crack my windshield, that just happened to my father in law last season 😣, Have a good one buddy!🤝

Thanks Charlie! It’s pretty good stuff 😎

Thanks Gary! I ain’t got a clue but I will keep you informed about it, I did hear that it’s not supposed to evaporate like mineral oil, so time will tell, I only put one coat of the oil and one coat of the wax.

I've been using this for a few years now on utility bowls and on hard maple guitar necks. Excellent product. I do refresh the finish with Mahoney wax if a piece sits in the gallery longer that 6 months. The finish really penetrates, still there if you sandpaper it later. I don't bother with gloves since the oil feels good on my hands.

@@kimseyjustkimsey5256 No comparison to mineral oil which is a petroleum product that evaporates away very quickly. Much superior. It's pure walnut oil treated, without additives, which makes it a hardening oil unlike Tung oil.

Thanks Rob I appreciate it! 😎 Yep it definitely is some pretty good stuff!!

Thanks Jim I appreciate it! 😎

Thanks Paul! 😎 Yep that chunk of walnut had multiple tree branches where i cut that chunk off, must have caused that crazy grain,but I recently cut a different wood with a few branches, don’t look like it will have the same results but I’m hoping i run into some as I turn it.

Thanks And thanks for the info on the texturing tool I appreciate it! 😎 That one was trying my patience a little bit ☝️ 😄

Howdy Huw! Thanks I appreciate it 😎

I got one more piece of that stuff but it’s an odd shape maybe I’ll turn it before to long! 😎

Yeah I can’t believe it withstood it either 😅 It was a rough core.

Thanks I appreciate it!😎 Yep I just couldn’t believe that grain myself, my wife is wanting to claim that one ☝️ 😄

Howdy Ray! Glad you enjoyed the video 😎 Yep that grain I don’t know that I’ve ever had a chunk of walnut like this one, there were multiple tree limbs that could be seen that had been cut off of the tree, and the log had been laying on the ground for a long while and the white sap wood was all pretty much rotten, I’ve turned the smaller one and so far they are drying good, Have a good one 🤝

@@kimseyjustkimsey5256 Excellent!

Howdy Peter was my pleasure glad ya enjoyed the video!😎🤝

Howdy Phil Thanks I appreciate it!😊 It was a pretty tough cookie, they are both drying out pretty good want be to much longer, Have a good one buddy 🤝

Thanks and thanks for the info on the other coring tools!😎🤝
