Thank You & Good Morning Gary...It is so nice to wake up on Friday morning with my HUGE mug of espresso, lotto combo (with lots of foam on top) & watching you turn your latest adventure. I stop often, rewind, catch little things I missed the first time around. The project is the object (of course) BUT your explanation & watching how you move around your work is what I key on. Every craftsman works with their own personal style that can only come from years of determined experience & practice....English Walnut turning looks great & watching YOU turn it even GREATER !!!.......TM
Thank you tuffy, you are too kind but I appreciate your comments. I guess all the years of building patterns has me looking ahead at what my next move is and talking it over with myself before I do it. This English Walnut has really been nice. Thanks for watching and that coffee you had sure sounds good. Gary
Thank you Abe for your kind words. Just thinking out loud. When my wife walks up behind me she ask "Who are you talking to?" She knows now though. Thanks for watching, Gary
That English Walnut always turns out great and to have a crotch piece is just a bonus. You did a great job with this one, Gary! All the right decisions including the Howard's. I love how that makes a piece feel so silky smooth. Fun video, buddy, keep'em coming! Phil
Thanks Phil, it was a fun video and that is what I am doing again for the next one. This moving work benches and jointers was more than I expected and took up a lot of time. Then our long time friends are leaving Oregon and I helped with them t get a few things done. So in this case fun equals easy LOL. Yes the Howard's sure does give the wood a very nice feel. I should use it more. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary
I love it Gary I'm happy that you use feed N wax it deserves that type of finish I did a similar bowl out of sugar maple not to long ago crocheted bowls look AWESOME! Thanks for sharing Gary!👍
Thanks so much Gord, it was kind of a change up to what I have been doing and I need to do another easy one this coming week. Lots of things going on right now but I hope I will get it done. Thanks for watching buddy, Gary
Very nice Gary!..well I took the plunge and ordered a wedgie less sled from Pete Marken to dip my toes in segmented stuff🤯! Hope I dont get too frustrated but you make it look easy😃👍🏻👍🏻
I love your style, Gary. Not everyone can demonstrate and explain simply, so even I can understand, with no hint of condescension. And the video’s length suits my attention span 🌞
Hey Gary, your kitty wants attention. Despite worm holes, it’s still a nice bowl. When I turn birch wood that I have, it’s full of worm holes. Instead of trying to turn them away, I just make the bug holes par of the design.
Gary. I couldn’t tell if my cat was meowing or it was yours. I kept looking around for him. Haha. I have a piece of Malberry crotch that’s still drying from last year. Hope to get to it soon
Thank you Mark, those silly cats come out and cry most of the time because they want to get up high into some of my cabinets. Or they just walk around crying. But they love it till the compressor comes on or I use anything louder than the lathe and they they want back in. Thanks for watching, Gary
Very nice heart-shaped bowl. I didn't know if you'd be able to get rid of that tear out. Howard's was the right call. I've been using straight walnut oil on a few recent projects that called for a satin finish. Takes a long time, but a nice natural finish for projects like these.
Thank you Jay, I was surprised it sanded out pretty easily. I have some Walnut oil and should give it a try on some pieces. But I am pretty happy with Howard Butcher Block Conditioner And it is food safe. Thanks for watching, Gary
Hello Papa, since I read the book about the woodturning god Ellsworth, I know that not only the handling of the woodturning tool, but also the posture of the person who creates it is decisive for a good result. If you are blessed with the knowledge of the correct posture of the woodturning tool, this question remains open, also in all of your videos. After studying your videos and the book for several months, many a move occurs to me, or rather I notice it in you. I would like you to show a video in which you show your posture in certain turning positions. Thank you from Northern Germany.
Thank you very much Schorschi! I have not read the book or know much about Ellsworth. My posture at the lathe was developed as a wood pattern maker. Here we had to make very accurate cuts to match dimensions on a drawing. So total tool control is very important. To me the most important thing is to be relaxed and precise. I will try and setup the camera to try and show that. What angle would you think is important to you? Thanks for watching, Gary
Walnut seems to be a popular meal for those worms or bugs. I made a knob out of Walnut for a small lidded box and like you a worm hole emerged just before I finished the shape. Oh well...it ads character. Well done on this project as well as the description and video.
Thank you Gil! Like so many trees we get they were cut down because something like a worm killed them. But not all the pieces I have were damaged. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you JimmyDee! I really like the part about Gus. We do video meetings with friends and there cats will get on screen and then ours come to look. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Pastor Uke, This had lots of character then because it sure had lots of bug holes. That kitty got on camera on another video. I think at the first of the year. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Jane, both kitties love to come out and wonder around. They will follow me to the door and look up like the are asking if it is ok. If I turn a noisy machine on they get out of there real fast Yes after having a work bench in the same spot for 45 years I decided it just did not work very well. So that meant dust collector changes and move some wires to the machines. Liking it so far but still trying to straighten up a few things. When it is cleaned up I will try to show what I did. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Charles, I appreciate you watching and commenting. If I had to watch reruns I would fall asleep in front of the TV. Well it seems if I watch anything in front of the TV I fall asleep LOL. Thanks again, Gary
This is a great piece and maybe you said in other comments but how green was that wood? I am trying to learn what you can and cannot do with green wood versus dried wood over time
Thank you Kevin! The tree was taken down over a year ago and this piece has been stored inside so it was really pretty dry. But I have had good luck turning piece from this tree very green. But I always turn it thin as a one time turning. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Donald I appreciate you watching. We are now into the raining season and and getting cold. As I recall you are from Louisiana and it is probably still warm there. But as I recall you get some very heavy rain there. In 1967 I spent Aug, Sept and Oct. at Ft. Polk and experienced the most powerful rain I had ever. I that was the reason for training there for where we were headed. God Bless my friend, Gary
Thanks so much. Yes the Howard is a great finish. And the kitty is laying right next to me this minute as I type. They both get their treats right before we go to bed. And they know exactly where to wait for them. They have us trained well LOL. Thanks for watching, Gary
I think they’re not very nice. Now put the bowl down and go feed that baby and I hear hollering in the background.😁😁😁. I have five of those fur babies that cry like that when they think it is broke this time. Do you still have that bowl? If so, what would it take for me to get it from you?
Are two love lots of attention and they get it. I think I probably still have that bowl. I have almost everything I have turned. I will look and see. Maybe we could work something out. Gary
@@ThePapa1947 sorry about that miss typed on my comment because it was supposed to say that I thought it was very nice. Hopefully you got that hint when I was asking about getting the bowl from you. But anyways, that would be great if we could work something out. I’m pretty sure I told you that my husband got me a lathe for my 55th birthday back in February. Your bowl will be a good visual incentive to keep practicing which I will simply because I’m enjoying it. That visual incentive to get better won’t hurt anything.😁😁
Hello Gary, that’s a cool looking bowl. Sunday morning, enjoying a cup of coffee and watching one of my favorite turners! Appreciate ya buddy! Enjoy your Sunday.🇺🇸
This is a very nice looking bowl. I really like the grain and the natural contours. Might you have filled the worm holes with epoxy before final sanding and finishing? No big deal. Thanks!
Thank you Jerry. Filling the with epoxy is an option. If I was going to fill them I would probably use sawdust and CA or coffee grounds and CA. Thanks for watching, Gary
A great video. Thank you very much. I have a question: what is your view about having a bowl or any turned object indoors when there is evidence of wood boring insects which may still be in the wood and might possibly relish the opportunity to get into your floorboards/joists or other wood components in your house? Elsewhere I have seen some folk talk about microwaving the wood for a given period to see off any remaining possible infestation. Many thanks.
Thank you Trefor! So with this turned as thin as it was I am certain there was nothing alive in it. But I do know some people will put the blank in a microwave for a short time to get rid of any bugs that might be there. I think they do it before even putting it in the lathe. Or after it is roughed out. I have not done that though. Thanks for watching, Gary
Nice bowl Gary, what’s in the Howard’s product? See it used a lot. I love the lighter color of American walnut, not much of it around here that I am aware of. A much darker walnut seems more abundant. My smaller compact shop, seems I am always moving stuff around. Stay well and always learn from you.
Thank you, the Howard has some kind of oil and beeswax and carnauba wax plus orange oil. Not considered food safe though. But the Butcher Block Conditioner is and works about the same as this. Thanks for watching, Gary
That is a beautiful bowl Gary , I love the finish and the bark edge I think walnut tends to check rather quick, at least the walnut I have seems too ,and there is not a piece that has kept its bark as it was cut down in the summer time and I don't think that helps ..does it? As always superbly demonstrated ,Cheers, Bram.
Thanks Billy, I do have a few very big ones but the problem is where the heck to do you put them. Kind of running out of space. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Josh, some times I think I spend too much time trying to figure out what to do with a piece. But I think it it worth it. Thanks for watching, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Sometimes, the wood doesn't reveal its plan for us until later, but I'm finding that more time and attention at the start often leads to a better process and final product. Then again, in some part I'm learning this from you.
Well both cats like to try and get into high spaces. So they look up and cry thinking I will help them out. Or sometimes get locked in and they want back out. This one jumped up on the lathe(not running) last year so I got him in the video.
Thank you Mike. I think the worms cause enough issues in the wood that they can change the look into something nice. And the holes can add to it as well. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Lisa, I have some good sized pieces that have amazing grain and looking forward to turning them. Walnut turns so nicely. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Kimsey, I think I am going to like the change but it created a big mess just doing it. Seems like things came out of the wood works I did not know I had LOL. Yes I have 2 inspectors that like to be in the shop. This one checks out all the high spaces thinking they should be for him to hang out in. The other one actually got nick named The Inspector General by out friend. Thanks for watching, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Lol 😄I know what ya mean, gotta make a mess to fix a mess, mine had gotten so messy I could barely stand it, and it’s just amazes me how fast it can get into a mess and I’ll tell myself that I ain’t gonna let it get that messy again but I always do but this time I’m gonna try a little harder to not let it happen again, but time will tell 😄
Hi Gary! Beautiful little English walnut bowl, and the Howard Feed’n’Wax gives it a lovely subtle shine, I like that a lot, lets the wood show its natural beauty… The worm holes add to the interest of the piece, and who knows, if used as a breakfast bowl they might even add a little bit of protein to your corn flakes 😉 In any case, if you serve breakfast in this bowl to your wife next February 14, it will surely put a smile on her face 😊👍🏻 Beautiful! Thank you, Gary 🙏🏻
Thank you and for sure you have some great points. The worm holes do add a lot of interest and it would be a be a great bowl for weight watching LOL. When I first got this would I was turning very green piece of this tree and alive worm came crawling out. I took it out in the backyard and showed my wife LOL. I gave it to her today and might have to put something in it special on February 14 next year. Thanks for watching and the great ideas. Gary
Good afternoon, Gary. Excellent bowl. Darn worms. I recently purchased and used some Howard's Feed and Wax. Also on a piece of walnut. Beautiful smooth finish and easy to use. Good luck with your shop update.
Thank you Ray, it is amazing how those worms can do so much damage to a tree. Yes the Howard is very easy to use and makes for a nice finish. Well I had to extend the dust collector pipes over to where I moved the jointer(but it is a much nicer setup now) and this morning I rerouted the wires going down to my table saw. Now to put all the stuff away that showed up during all of this LOL. Thanks for watching, Gary
Very nice. I just completed my very first bowl and because of people like you and Phil and Mike Peace and Sam Angelo it was a lot easier and turned out great. If it wasn't for you all I wouldn't of got this far! Thank you.
Hi Gary, That is sooooo lovely, Heart, Butterfly and Drift Boar shapes all in one bowl. I do love Howards and as you said a perfect choice for this piece. Take care my friend and speak soon. Hwyl, Huw
Thank you Huw, the tree grew just right to give those wonderful shapes. Yes as we spoke the other day the Howard is a great product and I should use it more. Take care buddy! Hwyl, Gary
Well this bowl is of corse beautiful. Simpler? I guess so. Great job Gary. I just turned a black walnut crotch piece, but was too afraid to leave the wings and go live edge, but seeing you do more of these is giving me confidence. Although probably false. lol. Take care, Rob.
Thank you Rob! I know it can seem overwhelming to turn something with wings but if you start with something small you will get the hang of it. But only do it if you feel comfortable in doing so. Thanks for watching, Gary

It looks great, Gary! I love turning the heart shaped crotch bowls!
Thanks Billy, I do have a few very big ones but the problem is where the heck to do you put them. Kind of running out of space.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another beautiful piece! I appreciate the explanation of your top/bottom choice. Thanks!
Thank you Josh, some times I think I spend too much time trying to figure out what to do with a piece. But I think it it worth it.
Thanks for watching,

@@ThePapa1947 Sometimes, the wood doesn't reveal its plan for us until later, but I'm finding that more time and attention at the start often leads to a better process and final product. Then again, in some part I'm learning this from you.
It's a beautiful little bowl 3 corners.
Thank you Judith, it is small but a pretty little bowl.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
I just found out that the walnut tree is like that, uncle. And you made a very beautiful walnut bowl
Thank you very much! Not sure how it is like that uncle but I hope he does not have worms.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 what did the cat want?🤣🤣🤣
Well both cats like to try and get into high spaces. So they look up and cry thinking I will help them out.
Or sometimes get locked in and they want back out. This one jumped up on the lathe(not running) last year so I got him in the video.
Very nice worm hole bowl. I Really like it.
Thank you Mike. I think the worms cause enough issues in the wood that they can change the look into something nice. And the holes can add to it as well.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice shape and love the finish 👍👍

Gorgeous piece Gary! Walnut is always a joy, isn’t it. Well done, the form and finish are both lovely 👍
Thank you Lisa, I have some good sized pieces that have amazing grain and looking forward to turning them. Walnut turns so nicely.

Beautiful Bowl Gary! I’ve been doing some rearranging in my garage to this week, I heard the inspector in the background 😄 Enjoyed the video 👍
Thank you Kimsey, I think I am going to like the change but it created a big mess just doing it. Seems like things came out of the wood works I did not know I had LOL.
Yes I have 2 inspectors that like to be in the shop. This one checks out all the high spaces thinking they should be for him to hang out in. The other one actually got nick named The Inspector General by out friend.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Lol 😄I know what ya mean, gotta make a mess to fix a mess, mine had gotten so messy I could barely stand it, and it’s just amazes me how fast it can get into a mess and I’ll tell myself that I ain’t gonna let it get that messy again but I always do but this time I’m gonna try a little harder to not let it happen again, but time will tell 😄

Hi Gary! Beautiful little English walnut bowl, and the Howard Feed’n’Wax gives it a lovely subtle shine, I like that a lot, lets the wood show its natural beauty… The worm holes add to the interest of the piece, and who knows, if used as a breakfast bowl they might even add a little bit of protein to your corn flakes 😉 In any case, if you serve breakfast in this bowl to your wife next February 14, it will surely put a smile on her face 😊👍🏻 Beautiful! Thank you, Gary 🙏🏻
Thank you and for sure you have some great points.
The worm holes do add a lot of interest and it would be a be a great bowl for weight watching LOL. When I first got this would I was turning very green piece of this tree and alive worm came crawling out. I took it out in the backyard and showed my wife LOL.
I gave it to her today and might have to put something in it special on February 14 next year.
Thanks for watching and the great ideas.
Gary
Nice work Gary!
Thank you John and thanks for watching.
Take care,
Gary
Great looking piece
Thank you Michael and thanks for watching,
Gary
Very pretty little bowl.
Thanks so much Cheryl, happy you like it.

Good afternoon, Gary. Excellent bowl. Darn worms. I recently purchased and used some Howard's Feed and Wax. Also on a piece of walnut. Beautiful smooth finish and easy to use. Good luck with your shop update.
Thank you Ray, it is amazing how those worms can do so much damage to a tree.
Yes the Howard is very easy to use and makes for a nice finish.
Well I had to extend the dust collector pipes over to where I moved the jointer(but it is a much nicer setup now) and this morning I rerouted the wires going down to my table saw. Now to put all the stuff away that showed up during all of this LOL.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
From Italy : bravo !
Thanks so much!
very nice video, i like 🤩
Thank you Kerry and thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice. I just completed my very first bowl and because of people like you and Phil and Mike Peace and Sam Angelo it was a lot easier and turned out great. If it wasn't for you all I wouldn't of got this far! Thank you.
Thank you William and thank you for your kind words.
Take care and happy turning,
Gary
Lovely bowl Gary, you did a very nice job of turning and finishing it which gives some tips on how it is done........well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thanks so much Al, I was hoping to show that a crotch piece can be easy and fun do do.
Take care,
Gary
Excellent piece!
Thank you Bruce I appreciate you watching and commenting,

Beautiful bowl!
Thank you Dianna and thanks for watching.

Hi Gary, That is sooooo lovely, Heart, Butterfly and Drift Boar shapes all in one bowl.
I do love Howards and as you said a perfect choice for this piece.
Take care my friend and speak soon.
Hwyl, Huw
Thank you Huw, the tree grew just right to give those wonderful shapes. Yes as we spoke the other day the Howard is a great product and I should use it more.
Take care buddy!
Hwyl, Gary
Very pretty bowl!
Thank you very much Vangie, happy you enjoyed it.
Gary
Well this bowl is of corse beautiful. Simpler? I guess so. Great job Gary. I just turned a black walnut crotch piece, but was too afraid to leave the wings and go live edge, but seeing you do more of these is giving me confidence. Although probably false. lol. Take care, Rob.
Thank you Rob! I know it can seem overwhelming to turn something with wings but if you start with something small you will get the hang of it. But only do it if you feel comfortable in doing so.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another nice piece.
Thank you Stan and thanks for watching,
