- I was sent a piece of Guave from viewer Tim back in 2021. Not wanting to waste any of the wood I thought about it for a few years. Then decided it needed cut in half.
The results were well worth it. A beautiful piece of wood
Thank you Tim!

I’m sitting with my feet up and a glass of whisky in my hand after spending an afternoon at my lathe watching the master at work. A perfect end to my day 🌞
Enjoy! Thanks Ray. A bit late with replies at the AAW today. Lot of walking.
Gary
Very nice, even with a unique piece.
Guava, not Guave, it's a really nice wood and the fruit are also pretty dang good, make great jam or jelly, but Guava Cheese is the best.
Thanks for pointing it out. I will fix that.
I did say Guava though.
Guava jelly and cheese sounds great.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
That's a first for me! Never seen Guava turned before. Did it smell good? Was the dust tasty? LOL! Anyway, the grain is pretty and you took care of the cracks that are so common in fruit wood. The color sure popped with a little finish! Nice job, my friend! I hope you are feeling better. Maybe you are going/gone to the turning show? Later, buddy! 😊
Phil
Thanks Phil. I was surprised with how the finish woke it up.
Not sure on the smell. Since 2006 I have had a very limited sense of smell.
Doing ok but dealing with a bad sinus drip.
Yup at the turning show.
Guess who I have been hanging with.
Rav! Also saw Valerie
I will fill you in later on Rav.
Gary
Are you talking about Rav from Poland
Gary, I haven’t seen Guave that large. The color and interesting shape is really cool along with the “live edge”. Nice idea for the tenon. How hard is the wood?
Thank you Skip! Been gone to the AAW symposium and was not able to comment from there.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 that’s great that your attending the AAW Symposium! One of my workmates at Rockler (I’m retired but work as a part timer) attended and visited family. She’s also a TA for turning at Palomar College and active in our local AAW chapter and TAV(Turn Around for Vets)
Hope you had a wonderful time!
Gary, it amazes me what you are able to on the lathe with something that appears to be junk, very cool piece… keep ‘em coming!!
Thank you Michael. I have a couple of pieces that I think are too far gone to make a nice turning but I have not tossed them yet. So I guess we never know for sure what is on the inside.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful live edge bowl Gary. Went from ugly to beautiful with skilled hands. Nice color, the finish is perfect.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Carl.
I looked at it many times before cutting it.
I knew I needed to cut it in half I see a vase in the left over.
Thanks for watching.
Gary.
Beautiful little piece, Gary. I've learned so much watching your artistry. (Just goes to show we old farts can still learn from you kids!)
Thank you very much.
I am always looking for new tricks as well
Take care,
Gary
Nice bowl.. Interesting wood. Thanks for sharing your work. I always enjoy your videos..
Thank you very much Travis I appreciate you watching.
Gary
Thank You Gary..Guave Guave is is new new to to me me (ha ha)😆... I have not a clue as to how I would approach something like this other than just turning a spindle shape? You opened my eyes as you always seem to do🤩...Nice turning this morning Gary and I am also surprised to see the color coming out with the finish ( I just expected plain whitish )👍👍👍Until next time....TM
Yeah I need to change the e to an a. Never was all that good at spaling lol.
I was surprised myself on the color change.
Take care,
Gary
When you first presented the work piece I was certain it would be a spindle turning. Even after you indicated where you would cut to make it shorter I thought so. Well I was wrong, but you weren't. You produced a very nice little bowl. It's very pretty. Nice figure and excellent color. I love the finish. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thank you Glen, good chance the leftover will be a spindle turning.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Guava is a new wood to me. There are so many and they all have amazing features. The bowl came out really nice Gary. The color is beautiful and I love the live edge. Thanks I really enjoyed the video.
Thanks Susanne I did not know what to expect.
A very pleasant surprise.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Your videos are kind of like watching a sculptor chipping away all of the waste to reveal the statue that was hidden inside of a piece of marble.
Nice job on a tricky piece.
I've tried to change my YT handle to something more like my old one. Looks like it worked! :-)
Thank you Gil!
The name change helps.
Gary
Nice project, Gary. I was surprised how the sanding sealer brought out so much color. Looks great.
You and me both!
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Really nice piece. I have turned a few pieces from Guava, one almost exactly like yours. I personally think turning it end grain gives way more character. The grain can be very light, but burning it lightly & sanding with a light oil makes it pop. It's invasive species down here around Cape Town.
Thank you. Well I have the other half that will probably be end grain. But I doubt if I will burn it but who knows.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Really cool, piece. Phil.
On a different note,
I didn't know that Orvis made turning jackets.
They sure fo make them
I will let Phil know so he can get one.🤣
Gary
Nice one Gary! Tough start to that bowl. Not only mounting it, but dealing with that crack looked difficult. Worked out great in the end though! Cool little bowl. Cheers, Rick
Thanks Rick! Been gone to the AAW symposium and was not able to comment from there.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That is a fantastic little bowl. I like the character of both the wood and the shape of the bowl. That bowl looks like it is super smooth. I looked up Guava wood because I have never heard of it before. Says it a hard wood South American fruit tree. I was wondering if you agree with it being a hard wood?
Thank you John. Yes it is hardwood. Not on the higher end. A lot like plum.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
That's a grand piece. another type of wood never heard of, we think there's a cat's face in the bottom and the two highest points are it's ears. Grand job Gary. All the best from Lincolnshire UK
Thank you Gary. Hmm a cat's face. I will have to ask my wife what she sees. We both love cats.
Take care,
Gary
Never heard of that type of wood. Turned out great looking Gary 👍. Has very nice looking color to it. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Thank you Scott. It was sure new to me. The colors inside were a very pleasant surprise. Thanks for watching,
Gary
I think, huhu, if you had filled that crack to begin with with CA and coffee grounds you would have had a larger bowl with more heart wood showing.
I guess we all see things differently.
Thanks for your input.
Gary
I grew up in Florida and we had a guava tree in our backyard. My mom and grandma made guava jelly and we also ate the delicious fruit. I probably never gave the wood a second thought, but it sure is pretty.
Sounds yummy Carol 😃
So cool I watched it twice. Actually after I started it the first time "life" intervened and I missed most of the process and the finished product. I had to come back and watch it to see. Very nice bowl, glad I checked again.
Thank you very much Harvey I appreciate you watching!
Gary
Lovely piece Gary.
I have never heard of Guave either.
Take care my friend.
Hwyl, Huw
Thank you Huh, it is a very intereting wood. Many have said the fruit is very delious.
Thanks for watching,
Hwyl,
Gary
Lovely bowl Gary, that type of wood sure has nice color and with live edge it really came out nice! Well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thanks so much Al, happy you liked it.
Gary
Very cool looking piece Gary. Had never heard of Guava wood before this, it looks great. Really like how the shape turned out.
Thanks so much Mark. I never thought of Guava as something we could turn but I sure like it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Guava is a fruit wood just like apple. It's probably just as hard. The bowl is beautiful.
Thanks James, yes it is pretty dense wood for sure. Fun to turn like Apple.
Take care.
Gary
I was curious as to what this awesome bowl was going to show inside . I love it plain and simple . I loved the surprise of those knots . They really added to it . Great piece Gary ! We hope you have a great long weekend .
Thanks Jon. Just got home from the wood turning symposium in Portland. Now to catch up LOL.
Gary
Nice little bowl, Gary. That's a kind of wood I've never seen before but it sure looks good.
Bill
Thanks Bill! Been gone to the AAW symposium and was not able to comment from there.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice. We have guava trees in our yard. Mom makes jelly out of the fruit just about every year. Never realized the wood could be so pretty inside.
Thank you. The jelly sounds good.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice, Gary! Isn't it interesting though. I looked at that at the start of the video and thought what an interesting vase he's going to make out of that with some openings in the side that will allow you to see in and through. I guess I was a bit wrong on your plans. 😂
Thank you my friend.
I figured you would like it.
Guava sounds a lot like Java lol.
I think the cut off will become a vase so you on the right track.
Gary
Interesting piece Gary. Is it a hard wood? Nicely done and I do like the live edge. As always thanks for sharing and have a great holiday weekend!
Thank you Mark. It is very much like Apple wood. Turns nicely.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Wow! Pretty cool. The color really surprised me when you put the sealer on. Thanks for the video!
Thank you Anita. It surprised me as well
Gary
Beautiful live edge bowl Gary and a great turn as always,
Cheers from will 😊
Thanks so much Will!
Take care,
Gary
Pretty challenging piece Gary but if anybody could do it it's you!
Tom
Thank you Tom. Well I looked at the piece whole for sometime. This is what made sense to me. Now to figure out what do do with the other half.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Like that one. A little too exotic to find around here in the Pacific Northwest. Always fun to try a new wood type.
Thanks David. Guess we just don't have the weather for it around here.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary I have never heard of that wood, but it sure did turn out really nice and the colour of the piece came to life as well. Well done.
Thank you very much Alan. It was new to me as well.
For sure the finish sure brought the colors out.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That is one very pretty bowl. I was afraid the piece would split in half while you were working on it.
Thanks Judith, It help together just fine.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Super! Great wood, masterful job turning it. Such a joy.
Thanks Doug. Not Walnut but not bad at all.
Thanks for your comments.
Gary
Здравствуйте, Гэри! Интересная древесина, интересная работа. Здоровья вам и удачи!
Thanks сергей! I was away at the wood turning symposim and was not able to reply.
Gary
Hello Garry, that is a beautiful live edge bowl you made. The sanding sealer brings it to life.
What a beautiful color that wood has!
Thanks so much. It is always amazing to watch what the first coat of sealer does to the wood.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That's a beautiful piece! Thanks so much! You are a master...
Thanks so my Garry I appreciate your comments.
Gary
That was an interesting piece Gary turned out very nice thankyou for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it Ronnie! Thanks for watching,
Gary
Guava sheds its bark. It should have a slight scent to it. Beautiful.
Thanks Khan! Been gone to the AAW symposium and was not able to comment from there.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Pretty bowl. I like the color and grain. Was that hard wood to turn?
Thank you Garth! Been gone to the AAW symposium and was not able to comment from there.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very enjoyable like always Gary. Thank you for sharing. I hope I will see you next week
Thank you very much Albert.
Gary
Another beautiful bowl. Great job, as always. I'm glad to see you are recovering well. Stay safe and healthy
Thank you very much Bobby I appreciate you watching. I'm doing much better now thank you.
Gary
Very nice bowl Gary. A really interesting piece. I like finding exotic or rare woods to play with. You did really well with this piece from Tim. This was time well spent. Thank you very much for sharing.
Thanks Mark. It was a pleasant surprise after the first coat of finish.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
You can definitely see that it came from a tree with that live edge. So much more character than a bowl turned from a symmetrical blank, just love it..
Thank you very much Colin I appreciate you watching.
Gary
WOW Gary beautifull. love it loads.
Thank you very much Manjit!
Take care my friend,
Gary

Thanks so much Garry
Good mornin', Gary! Great way to start the day is watching you turn an oddly shaped, ugly duckling sort of wood and finding such a nice bowl. Well turned, indeed!
Thank you Dave. It was a cool piece of wood to turn.
Gary
Very nice another beautiful bowl.

Nice one, Gary. I never heard of Guave wood until today. I will need to research it later on to see from where it comes.
Nice color and finish.
Cool, thanks!
Very nice:):)
Thank you my friend!
We have thousands of trees of Guava here in Mexico my state Guanajuato is # one we are the capital of Guava in the world
That must be nice. How did you like my turning?
Just got home from AAW show. And watched this. Then I watched Phil's. 😳 did you guys switch projects?
This one was nothing like i expected, way better. I have a guava tree in Hawaii but it isn't near this big. Mostly skinny 3 inch or so sticks.
I came home Saturday night from the AAW. How many days were you at the AAW?
Yes it seems we did switch our normal styles a bit. Always fun. Now to figure out what to make with the other half LOL.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 i was there Friday morning until early afternoon. I've never seen so many um....senior people 👴🏽👵 in one place at the same time.
Thank you for sharing such an elegant bowl.
You are so welcome Michael I appreciate you watching.
Gary
Turned out great. You saved that piece of wood.
Thank you Dennis. Happy you liked it.
Gary
It's always fun to get a new species to turn! Great job with that one!
Thanks Tony. I sure enjoyed turning it
Thanks for watching,

Nice work Gary real pretty Blessings

1st 😂😂
And I'm the first to comment on your first lol.
@@williamellis8993 Hi Bill
Ŵow, I forgot all about that wood. It turned out very nice.
Thanks Tim. I never forgot about it I just did not want to waste it making one turning out of it.
Now I can get 2.
Thanks again,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I'll look forward to it.
