Here in the northern Dordogne, we get a lot of sweet chestnut, also mostly used for firewood. It turns quite well, and can give a nice finish. and when there is some grain twisting, can give pretty patterns. Problem is, that BIG pieces are very rare, as they coppice about every 20 years, so nothing gets very big. which limits bowls to about 5-6'' The horse chestnut piece here, is very pretty, far more so than the immature sweet chestnut I get to play with. I'll have to keep an eye out for some horse chestnut, just in case any is available to scrounge a few pieces. .

Hi Julee and thank you. Conkers is a game played with the seed (the conker) that falls in Autumn 🌰 (looks like this). You make a hole through the centre and thread a shoe lace through, knotted at one end, so the conker hangs down. You then take it in turns to hit the opponents conker with yours. The winner is the one who cracks and breaks the others conker. (The winners conker is then given a ranking of 1 and this increases with more victories). There are lots of other rules and ways to make your conker stronger - pickling, baking, keeping stored in the dark etc....

Have turned horse chestnut before. If you can get a piece that is spalted the appearance is even better. Shades of dark blue and greys are present. If you have some spalted timber and more of the chestnut, you could try putting the chestnut and some turnings from the spalted timber into a plastic bag and place in the ground for a few months. All goes well you'll have a very interesting piece

What a great looking bowl. I really liked that you turned it 'sideways' instead of the usual straight down the tree. It gave it such a beautiful pattern that i wasn't expecting. I get mesmerised watching and end up not doing other things i should be doing. You really are a true craftsman and artist Harry. Even though i am now 70 i have many fond memories of playing Conkers. I was such a tomboy and loved nothing better than to climb trees so my brother and other friends would get me to climb high to try to knock down bigger conkers. Thankfully i never got stuck but did fall out of a tree once. I envy your ability and talent to produce stunning works of wooden art. Thank you Harry.
Thank you for sharing your memories Shirley and your kind comments. 😃🌰 I too loved climbing trees and throwing large sticks in the local park to dislodge more conkers. Unfortunately the game is deemed to dangerous in schools, H&S gone mad but we can always sneak a private game in the garden. 😃👍 If you haven't already, don't forget to subscribe to my new shorts channel 😉 thanks for your support !! ua-cam.com/users/HarrySmithShorts

Those bowls are dope!
@Anthony WrightThese days, when something is described as being "dope", it means that the item is well made or visually appealing! English enough for you!?
Thank you so much Gerald! 😁😊
Nice work!
I never played conkers. The first I ever heard of it was when they played it on "Top Gear".
Thanks TK! It was a playground game. Unfortunately schools ban it now as it is just too dangerous 😕 🧤🥽⛑

Chestnut is what all the old wood barns in Kentucky, Tennessee, etc. that have been standing well over 100 years were built with.
Thanks for sharing Rebel. This is UK horse chestnut similar but you can't eat the nuts! It was about 40-50 years old. Chestnut is really good for wooden stakes and fencing 🌰😃👍🏴

That wood has a very nice grain pattern. It's much paler than a lot of wood, and the contrast in the grain is very pretty.
Hi Cheryl, it’s nice meeting you here.. I’m Richard by name, it would be nice getting to know you better, if that’s ok with you? My mom once said good friends are never too much to have. if you don’t mind, can we be friends??
I like your hair, fit so perfectly and the color is amazing
Thank you Cheryl, It's nice to turn some lighter wood for a change! 😀👍

Beautiful finish! I have fond memories of playing conkers, too. Although every cheat I tried seemed to always make them softer!!
Thanks Dave 😀👍Far to dangerous to play no a days, H&S gone mad!!

Here in the northern Dordogne, we get a lot of sweet chestnut, also mostly used for firewood.
It turns quite well, and can give a nice finish. and when there is some grain twisting, can give pretty patterns.
Problem is, that BIG pieces are very rare, as they coppice about every 20 years, so nothing gets very big. which limits bowls to about 5-6''
The horse chestnut piece here, is very pretty, far more so than the immature sweet chestnut I get to play with.
I'll have to keep an eye out for some horse chestnut, just in case any is available to scrounge a few pieces.

The grain is really gorgeous, I'm glad you decided to keep a chunk for yourself.
Thank you so much! I've got a few more bits for future projects! 😁
Beautiful work as usual Harry. I love the simple design that lets the grain be the star of that piece. Unless I missed it I never heard what type of wood that is.
Hi Steve, take a look in the description, its the down chevron next to the title, gives more info on wood, finishes etc 😀

Thank you Teresa you are very kind. 🪵😃👍
The grain is very beautiful! I love the lighter wood and this is a beautiful bowl! I've never played conkers but I'm interested in knowing what it is!
Horse chestnut is what the timber is.
Hi Julee and thank you. Conkers is a game played with the seed (the conker) that falls in Autumn 🌰 (looks like this). You make a hole through the centre and thread a shoe lace through, knotted at one end, so the conker hangs down. You then take it in turns to hit the opponents conker with yours. The winner is the one who cracks and breaks the others conker. (The winners conker is then given a ranking of 1 and this increases with more victories). There are lots of other rules and ways to make your conker stronger - pickling, baking, keeping stored in the dark etc....

Many thanks Jiggsy 😃👍
Wow! Bet you’ll turn more in the future!
Thank you Elizabeth! I've got a few more pieces saved, I might turn some more bowls 😁😊
Have turned horse chestnut before. If you can get a piece that is spalted the appearance is even better. Shades of dark blue and greys are present. If you have some spalted timber and more of the chestnut, you could try putting the chestnut and some turnings from the spalted timber into a plastic bag and place in the ground for a few months. All goes well you'll have a very interesting piece
Thanks for sharing gerard. I have tried this with other woods. 😀👍

What a great looking bowl. I really liked that you turned it 'sideways' instead of the usual straight down the tree. It gave it such a beautiful pattern that i wasn't expecting. I get mesmerised watching and end up not doing other things i should be doing. You really are a true craftsman and artist Harry. Even though i am now 70 i have many fond memories of playing Conkers. I was such a tomboy and loved nothing better than to climb trees so my brother and other friends would get me to climb high to try to knock down bigger conkers. Thankfully i never got stuck but did fall out of a tree once. I envy your ability and talent to produce stunning works of wooden art. Thank you Harry.
Thank you for sharing your memories Shirley and your kind comments. 😃🌰
I too loved climbing trees and throwing large sticks in the local park to dislodge more conkers.
Unfortunately the game is deemed to dangerous in schools, H&S gone mad but we can always sneak a private game in the garden. 😃👍
