Wood Turning Black Locust Hollow Form
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2024
- This piece of Black Locust was doomed to be firewood but I just had to give it a chance.
Even with the areas that were bad it turned it to a cute little hollow form.
The Paduak lid really topped it off!

Very nice work! I think you were right about the wood determining what the piece would end up looking like. It has a lovely shape to it!
Thank you Johnathan I appreciate you watching. There are many times mother nature has this all planned out for us.
This one had bad spots in just the right places.

beautiful piece, Papa,
Thanks so much Rick..happy you liked it.
Gary
Good job,greetings from the Netherlands.
Thank you so much!
Really cool turning, Gary! That black locust is really tough but it seems to be less prone to movement. Cheers!
Thank you David! It seems very stable for sure. The structure of the grain seems to work together to keep the stress equal. At least that is my theory. Looking forward to turning more. It does get harder as it drys. I have had it for a year and a half and can tell the difference.
Take care,
Gary
Gary, I have to say I don't think I've seen any of your projects that I didn't like. Enjoyed as always. Dave.
Well thank you very much Dave for your very kind and wonderful compliment. Most truly appreciated.
Gary
Very nice Gary. The top really makes it stand out. Great job of rescuing that from the fireplace.

I love it and I agree about the lid.
Thank you John..appreciate the comment.
Gary
very very wonderful working,thank your video, 👍👍. black locust has amazing grain and beautiful color,I like it very much. A few weeks ago, I made a bow with black locust,😅😅
Thank you very much. I just took a peak at the bow you made. Looks very nice I will watch the video soon.
Take care,
Gary
Thanks,Gary.The idea of the bow came from Mr. Pablo Cimadevila, he made a cupid bow with a gold screw, which is very beautiful. I thought I could make one with wood. The black locust has golden color and I have bought some pieces ,so I made it. 🙂🙂🙂
Never turned black locust but is sure some pretty wood as evidenced in this bowl. Don’t know how I missed this post Friday, I know I wasn’t that busy. Thanks for sharing this pretty little beauty with us Gary. Glad you decided to put that top on. It made the difference. Be safe friend!
Thank you my friend I am glad you liked it. I never know for sure what day of the week it is anymore..lol

Thank you very much Bill I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
Absolutely beautiful piece with the superb grain, great shape & brilliant finish but I think the thing that ties it all together & really make it 'ZING', is the LID, just brilliant Gary. Don from South Aust.
Thank you Don and I usually do not make lids and I probably should do it more. I did on my Dovetail bowl and I agree the lid really made the difference on this one.
Take care and be safe,
Gary

Hello, Gary! Давно я не был на ютубе. Работаю много. Вот появился свободный день. Наверстываю упущенное. Спасибо за отличную работу. Посмотрел все с удовольствием! Привет из Москвы (Россия).
Спасибо, что нашли время, чтобы посмотреть. Я ценю это. Надеюсь, вы много отдыхаете.
Еще раз спасибо за просмотр и комментирование.
Береги себя,
Gary
Very nice Gary. As you mentioned self, the lids make it whole. Nice shape.
Thank you very much. For sure it was missing something and I am happy I took time to make the lid for it.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
I have yet to turn in reverse except by accident when parting off after sanding and forgot to put it in forward. I need to give it a try on a hollow form. Thanks for sharing and I definitely hit the subscribe button and a like.
Thank you very much Tom. If you have room you can step to the back side of the lathe and still turn forward. But it will seem backward so nothing gained there. Except if you do not have reverse. The other thing is moving the head stock to the opposite end but that is a lot of work. Turning in reverse is the same as when you can put a face plate on the outboard side of the head stock and the lathe is running forward. I have done that many times on very large lathes on pieces to large to fit over the bed. Fairly easy to get used to.
Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I have a Laguna Revo 1836 I got about 6 weeks ago I just haven't really used reverse much except for sanding. I do need to a hollow form going to use it fully.
Very nice Gary. Beautiful color and figure. Love the figure around the pith. An especially nice touch with the padauk top. I would have liked to see a bit more of your finishing. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Glen I appreciate your comment. I will try and do a video where I show much more of the finishing.
Are you interested mostly in the sanding sealer and shellac process? I have some more smaller pieces of Black Locust that would be perfect for doing a turning and be able to show more of the finishiing.
Take care,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 What I prefer is showing every step of the process for every project. But I don't mean to say you should show each entire step. Just enough to indicate the general idea. You open up well with the rough shaping of the work piece. Then mount on the lathe and show the turning. but I want to see your sanding method, first grit only, you can say how many grits were used. The same with the finish. Sanding sealer, then the finish and buffing, etc. Not a lot of detail but just enough to show what you used and how you processed it. And I would like this process applied to every project. I really dislike having to go back and search for a finishing or sanding video. If you are concerned about run time these steps need not add more than a minute.
Very nice piece Gary and the Lid was a great finishing touch!!!
Thank you very much Kimsey glad you liked it. Black Locust is very pretty wood. It is very hard and the end grain is really hard. Glad I did not make this an end grain turning.
Take care,
Gary
ThePapa1947 yep it would be pretty tough end grain I have drilled it end grain for candle 🕯 holder’s it smoked my drill bit!
Lovely little piece, Gary! The shape flows nicely.
Billy
Thank you Billy. I was not sure what I was going to make from this piece but sure am happy with how it turned out.
Take care,
Gary
Great piece Gary! The Paduk really sets it off! PS - loved the photos you sent to Gord of the donut. That is truly a piece of art and craftsmanship. Regards Dennis
Thank you Dennis and for sure it needed the Padauk lid. Glad you liked the picture of my donut. I did a video of it as well.
Take care,
Gary
Really cool design Gary. The Black Locust looks awesome, and your lid design works with the hollow form. Very nice and creative. your good at what you do, but you didn't need me to tell you that!
Thank you so much Mitch for your very kind words.
Take care,
Gary
Very good! Especially the top was missing part! Good job as usually for you, sir!
Thank you very much! Glad you like it and thanks for watching.
Gary
An unusual shape but nice The two woods go well together I think it's to do with the shape of the bowl
Thank you very much and I think your are correct.
Nice! I like the padauk lid too. It looks like the padauk sawdust contaminated the top of the piece. That happens to me all the time and it can be tough to remove.
Thank you Joe glad you liked it. I will have to look the piece over I did not notice any contamination from the Padauk.
I know Purple Heart is really bad at doing that.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
Hi Gary, Beautiful. The Paduk lid really does set it all off. Hurt my back yesterday, somehow, so no shop time for me today. Bonus is though I get to watch your video two days earlier than I normally would. Great work Gary. Take care, my friend. Cheers, Huw
Thank you Huw! Hope your back gets better soon. I strained a very old injury in my hand the other day but fortunately wearing a wrap on it helped a lot. Because I am working on a very huge chunk in the lathe right now.
Take care my friend and get better soon.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 What a little piece of Olive Wood? LOL
Wouldn't it be better to put a mortis on instead of the tenon? That way when you are finished it's done and no having to turn it over and cut the tenon off. Beautiful love it💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hi J"Lyssa, couple reasons not to use a mortis on this one. Because I had to hollow it out the tenon offers a little better support. And normally I like to dress up a tenon after it is done so I would still be flipping it around. But I do like to use a mortise now and then on some things. I tend to use a mortise on a segmented turning when I do not want to cut away the segments. Might be doing that on an upcoming turning.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful Turning in your right to put Duke set it off
Thank you Robert and a great play on words👍
Yup, the lid changes the whole appearance of that piece, Gary. It's a nice design but the wood is kind of bland but once you put that lid on, POP, it all comes together! So you did all the hollowing with just the one hollower you made? I guess I didn't think it would reach in that far. Well, it worked! I used to make lidded things, maybe I should give that a go for something different. Well, I guess it won't be different now that YOU'VE done it! LOL! Great job, my friend, keep'em coming! Hey, we're up to Phase 2 up here. I can go get a haircut! HA!
Phil
Thanks Phil and for sure the wood was pretty plain. That is why I wanted to leave the saw cut and the flat area on one side.
But the rot at the top had to go. Glad it did or I may not have done the lid. Who know..lol
Yes just used the hollowing tool. Barely made it but it just fit. All the way to the bottom.
I am certain you can find a piece of wood full of bug holes, bark, voids and wide cracks that will be different. THE PERFECT PIECE OF WOOD!
We are still in phase 1. Our county is in the top 3 worst areas.
I have the longest hair I have every had. My hair is a bit curly(kinky) and has never blown in the wind. Might go for a drive in the Miata tomorrow to see if it will blow around now..lol
Oh and I am starting to look like Billy Burt from the forehead down..YIKES

awesome another great piece love the lid choice thanks gary nice work just a quick question how can I send you an image
Thank you very much Jason I am glad you like it.

I really like that piece, Gary. The lid is a nice addition! Great turning, my friend!
Happy turning,
.....Gord
Thank you Gord...I can't count the number of times I almost took that off the shelf and got rid of it. To be honest the day I turned this one I was looking for something quick to turn. Sometimes it just all works out.
Take care my friend,
Gary
Very nice piece! Love the addition of the lid! Great choice of contrasting wood and great form! BTW, what do you use for sanding sealer? I haven’t used any in the past but I think I might have to give it a try. Tia
Thank you very much Michael....happy you liked it.
I used Zinsser Seal Coat for the sanding sealer. You can use it under about any finish.
Take care,
Gary
Outstanding, Papa! I like this one. It is amazing how you can turn something on the fly without any idea of how things turn out. The top does make it an outstanding piece!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much. I appreciate your comment. And for sure the top was really needed.
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful wood it turned out perfect
Thank you Cindy glad you liked it.
👍
Thank you very much!
I’m with you the lid really made this a stand out piece.
Thank you Deborah and thanks for watching.
Gary
Great piece! Question: while hollowing with the carbide on the black locust, are you laying it flat or turning the bar at an angle? To me it seemed like the bar was angled. I know some turners shear scrape with bar turned 30-45 degrees. Just curious.
Thank you very much Louis. I had it laying flat. I made all my bars so the insert is flat to the turning. I plan on making another where the insert will be on an angle but I will need to get some more steel bar.
I have one round carbide insert that is ground with a negative rake on it and on some turnings I will use it. Mostly on end grain ones.
Thanks for watching and the questiong.
Gary
Beautiful piece Gary. What do you use for sanding sealer?
Thank you Scott, I used Zinserr Seal Coat. It has become my favorite sanding sealer. Even under lacquer.
How do you like the Laguna? I'm considering it, but concerned over if Maintenance is needed as I'm disable? I think you do awesome work on this and Locust is very hard!! Did you make your own carbide hollower? It appears very sturdy!
Thank you Rex. I like Laguna a lot. Yesterday I turned a very heavy chunk of wood on it. Worked great...but I had it balanced just right. I was really happy with how it handled it.
Yes I have made all my carbide tools. I made a swan neck holler also but it would not fit into this turning but I got by fine without it. Having reverse on your lathe really helps. You do want to make sure the chunk is locked on though if running in reverse.
Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.
Gary
Rex, I have a 12/16 Laguna and I love it. I think it is a quality machine and expect failures would occur early on. Do you use a chair? Stay safe. -Mike
Ending with a top made it look classier.
Thank you and you are right about that. The lid really tops it off!
@@ThePapa1947 you are welcome.
Nice Hollow Form Gary🏆 The Paduak lid really makes a statement !!! Stay safe. -Mike
Thank you Mike glad you liked it. Yes strange how a little piece of wood like that can really change the look that much.
Take care,
Gary
A work of art. If I had my way, I'd never burn wood again. That is where the beauty is.
Thank you Robert. I have found some of my best pieces in firewood piles.
That looks great and yes the lid makes a world of difference!
Thank you very much. Hard for me to imagine it with out the lid.
And that was not planned but I could see it needed it.

cute little piece. The cap adds a nice finishing touch. Nice work, Gary.

Thank you very much!
Another great video!!! I do have a question, I’m new to the lathe, when you’re roughing a piece out, like the top you made, about what rpms do you run using your roughing gouge? Or is it a “feel thing”? Thank you!!!
Thank you Chris! This piece was around 1500 RPM. Higher speed smooths out the square piece taking the bounce out of it.
The smaller the piece the faster you will want to have it spinning.
It is a matter of how much material passes the cutting edge per second. A small diameter is much less than lets say a 12 inch diameter at the same RPM.
Still it is a little about feel as well. Such as how sharp the tool is and how it is cutting a particular piece of wood. And the tool rest height comes into play as well. Strips cut from a 2X4 would make great practice pieces.
Hope this helps...
Take are and happy turning,
Gary
ThePapa1947 thank you Gary! That is really helpful
Hi Gary , Love this ! Another save from the fire resulted a really lovely form ! That Paduak lid sets it off perfectly! 👌
As always mate , perfect workmanship from you!
Take care, Bram.
Thank you very much Bram for your kind words.
Cheers from the Wild West in Oregon,
Gary
Thinking of trying a piece of black locust. Any issues with it being so hard?
It is very hard for sure. A nice sharp tool will leave a very nice finish though.
Just watch out doing an end grain turning. It will grab very easily. I have a video of a Droop Bowl that is end grain . I had to stop and make a hollowing tool to get it done. Even then I ended up buying one of the negative rake inserts.
this turning not being an end grain went very well though.
Hope this helps..take care,
Gary
That looks great Gary! love it! Great minds think alike, I just posted my video with a padauk lid....Get out of my head Gary! lol! Anyway, great piece of work buddy!
Thank you Bruce...I guess those mind reading lessons paid off...lol I will head over to your video right away. I can hardly wait to see what I...ahh we will be making next week.
Take care my friend,
Gary
ThePapa1947 hahaha, that was good!! I like that! Have fun, be safe buddy!!
Nice work Gary! The lid really makes a difference.
Objects like this always look much bigger than they really are. While on the lathe I would have easily believed it to be 6-7 inches.
I also noticed it has a pith right in the center. Lets hope the cracks do not grow bigger.
My personal experience with that is not good....
Thank you Leo! I need to make things smaller because I am running out of places to put them..lol
I have a number of pieces turned out of the Black Locust and the cracks have been pretty stable. Especially when turned thin.
I will be finishing up the platter today and will put a link to your's in the video. I will do my best to pronounce your last name.
Thanks again,
Gary
It looks like the kind of thing I could put sweets in then sit back and watch the grand kids try to get a fist full out.
That is a great idea Johnathan. Knowing mine they would saw it in half to get at those sweets..lol
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Really beautiful, Gary. I love the lid and the way you blended the shape with the body. That end grain with the pith is really nice, too. Stay well. Bill
Thank you very much Bill. The lid had a short shoulder on it but I just did not like how it looked. Blending the them together made all the difference.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
What's the difference between forward and reverse?
Hi Mandi, so forward is when the work turns toward you and is used most of the time. Reverse is when the work spins away from you. So if turning the inside the tool needs to be on the far side of the work.
And when sanding in reverse the dust moves away from you.
Hope that helps.
@@ThePapa1947 Sorry... I meant what's the difference between using the tools n each direction? Do the tools work differently?
