What a brilliant idea Gary. Very imaginative use of this diameter branch. I love the white section on the body of the bottle, it looks like part of a label that has worn a little. The finish enhances the bottle shape to perfection. Keep the projects rolling along. Don
Many thanks Don! I did like the dark area but it was very fuzzy. I think that is called Phloem (flo em) to soft to finish and once turned away the white looks much better. Gary
Hai gary...Your work is ingenious and creative, it has inspired me just like the things my father taught me when I was young. I'm honored to have learnt from you and I hope I get to become as talented.
I love the idea of the emerging bottle and you did a great job of it , too bad we can't celebrate with a little nip from it ! well done Gary.....Thanks! Cheers Al
Fun project, Gary! And did not know you made it up here to my corner of the state (Port Angeles area). Would have enjoyed meeting you and your wife, and would have happily sent more wood home with you to play with. Well, maybe next time!
A very nice project is this Gary. Many of us will have this size of wood lying around and do not know what to do with it. Then this is a great fun project to do yourself. Thanks for sharing. Cheers. Frank
Thank you Frank and for sure it is fun project and one of the most common pieces of wood we come across. I just trimmed out Leland Cypress yesterday and have a pile of limbs like this. Plus the Siberian Elm we had trimmed a year ago. Have fun making a bottle Frank and thanks for watching. Cheers, Gary
Yes that would be a nice natural label. I have real labels for when I made home brew and wine. I should have put one of those on. But the natural label is much nicer!
Thank you Beatrice, you never know what you might find in side of a branch. I also did a emerging bowl from a branch you might like. Made from Mimosa and much harder to do than this. ua-cam.com/video/5CuaAZ9PenM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947
This is a very cool idea, Gary! Definitely my kind of spindle turning. I expect you will see one of these coming from my shop! I'm so glad you thought this one up, very imaginative and looks great! Very nice finish, on the bark and on the glass smooth bottle. Well done, buddy! Keep'em coming! Phil
Thanks Phil I agree with you about this type of spindle turning. Also my type as well. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. It will be great for sure. I picked out a piece of wood you gave me this morning but there was a list of things to do before the rain starts. One was trimming 2 big branches off one of our Leland Cypress trees. I did save a few pieces but it is kind of plain wood. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary
Hi Gary... great fun idea.... its nice to just have a bit of fun with your turning now and again.... looks fantastic... you should pop a cork in the top ... great video... take care...All the best.....Andy
Amazing work, Gary,👍👍👍 looks like a bottle of beer, Budweiser？😅😅. The bark of locust is very loose and easy to fall off, I had turned a vase of live edge locust, and I glued bark,😅😅
Thank you Gao...it was going to be a wine bottle but I made it smaller to get to the good wood. I prefer Pacifico though. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary
Now I know what I'm going to attempt to turn out of a similar sized Apricot log. It looks like it was a fun project. Well done Gary, a nice conversation piece for the bookshelf.
Very clever Gary, as usual. I'm going to my woodpile tomorrow to see if I have any bottles lurking around in my branches! Enjoyed your visit to Shady Acres. As I mentioned to Phil, I'm glad I finally got to see your faces. Nice to know you guys more than by your belly shots! LOL Keep them projects coming. I get a lot of ideas from you and Phil.
Thank you Tom...you might be surprised how many of those branches have bark covering a bottle. It was great visiting with Phil and I am glad he ask if he could shoot a little clip. We debated to lower the camera for just belly shots...LOL just kidding. Have fun finding that bottle! Gary
Thank you Bill. It was great meeting up with Phil. I did give him a piece of the wood I will be showing soon and he gave me some of the wood he has made turnings from. Take care, Gary
Thank you so much Khan. I never know what to label the video but this one seemed to work. Also how do you like the thumb nail image? I think that makes you wonder as well. Take care my friend, Gary
Tom and I think this turning is awesome!!! Love how it is displayed sitting on top of the wood, but all one piece. Your Black Locust has really neat grain in it, too.
Thank you Ann I am really happy you and Tom like it. Your paste did the trick and truly made it glass smooth. Take care and the best to both you and Tom. Gary
I think that looks pretty cool. A matching, emerging goblet would complement it, just a suggestion Papa. It was nice to see you and Phil, from Shady Acres, together too.
Thank you very much Stephen and it is a great suggesting. This is actually a matching bottle to the the Locust emerging goblet I did last year. ua-cam.com/video/MxAPeh12CYY/v-deo.html It was great visiting Phil and I am happy we planned our trip to come home that way. Take care, Gary
That’s a beautiful bottle you found, Gary. I’m a bit disappointed that you quit turning it, though. I wanted to see if there was a shot glass below the bottle. Oh well, too late now. LOL! Great video, my friend. Stay well.
Thanks Gord...I just figured the shot glass would be upside down on the top. I never even thought that it might have ended up under it. Oh darn now I will think about this forever...oh wait I still have a small piece I sawed off this branch before starting. Perhaps I will turn it...I just might find one there...lol Thanks for watching and the laughs my friend, Gary
Thank you Leo...happy you liked it. Believe it or not I did not know he was there until I edited the video. Then I did not know he was in view till I rendered it. Start watching at 11:04 and you will see him come into view. Right under the face mask I had not thrown away yet. Then he will start talking to me. His brother was out there as well. Spooky is who you heard and Dinkie was hiding somewhere. Thanks for watching. Gary
Damn creative and very beautifully executed....so here's a challenge....on the next bottle project, you need to hollow out the insides and convert it into a decanter! Best wishes and be healthy.
Thank you Joe and it was great being on Shady Acres with Phil. How I have my camera and lathe setup it is hard to get a full shot. So I figure it is better to see the wood than my face...lol At least that is my excuse. Thanks for watching. Gary
Great job Gary It has lovely grain and finish and that was a happy little accident with the bark though ! a nice fun video mate ! ..Hmmmm .I can imagine that being a nice bottle of "HobGoblin !😁 Take care mate Bram
Thank you Bram! I had to look up what HobGoblin is...it sounds great. This might have to be a bottle for shots. And once you can not pick it up you have had too many...lol Take care my friend, Gary
What a cool idea and a beautiful job Gary! I love the grain in black locust and I've turned a few bowls using it. I really like the transition from bottle to branch. I hope to try this kind of thing soon. Glad to see you with Phil in his latest vid. I've learned so much from both of you and I watch all of both of your vids.
Thank you Gil and happy you liked it. I do enjoy emerging turnings. I think my favorite is the bowl coming out of a limb. It is a multi axis turning and really looks interesting. And it was great getting together with Phil. Take care, Gary
Gary your amazing !! Who d of thought of an idea like this it’s brilliant !! Thanks for sharing . I hope you don’t mind if I try and duplicate it. Keep them coming 👍
Hi Gary, What a brilliant idea. I'm going to copy this and have already shared the video to my friend Kevin as I think he would make these as well. The only disappointing thing is you didn't hollow it out fully through the neck of the bottle. LOL. As always Gary fantastic work which you make look so easy. Nice to see Big Boy out of the cupboard as well. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Thanks Huw I am glad you liked it. I hope you do a video or at least send pictures would love to see what you do. Big Boy...yeah him and his brother are spoiled now. They think they own the place. If I turn a noisy machine on they are gone! Funny thing is we call him The Big One. His brother came out of the same litter and they look nothing alike. Ones all black with long hair..the other short black and white hair. I call them the twins. Take care my friend, Gary
Thank you Matt it is really a very lovely wood for sure. In the eastern part of Oregon where I live they use it for fence post on the ranches because it is so hard and abundant. Take care, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 it sounds amazing. I saw a post on pinterest of an emerging style turning from a really old gnarly fence post and thought that was a great idea.
Check this one out I did Matt. I did not notice it till my wife pointed out the base of the goblet looks like glass. Now it is all I can see. Another piece of Black Locust. ua-cam.com/video/MxAPeh12CYY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947
Wonderful use of imagination and Nature’s bounty. By the way, are you using a Laguna 18/36 lathe? I am looking to investing in one. Your impressions of your lathe?
Cool idea nice finish I really enjoy watching your videos. If I could ask some advice I'm getting ready to buy a new lathe have you ever had any trouble with your Laguna?
Thank you Charles happy you liked it. I am very happy with the Laguna. There was a problem with the banjo not locking in place but I figure it out. They had put a finish on it that would not it to lock in place. They sent me another right away but I had figured it out and all I did was to sand the shaft lightly. I sent the replacement back and explained the problem and I believe that has been resolved. I find Laguna support to be good as I have one of their dust collectors as well. So I think it is a fine lathe and has a great price for what you get. Hope this helps. Gary
Thanks Chris and yes I do use some of the Benjamin Best tools and they actually work fine. My others are Robert Sorby. They both cut fine if sharp. www.pennstateind.com/store/woodturning-tools.html is where I order mine.

You got me! I was trying to figure out how a bottle got into a branch! The trunk, maybe, but not a branch! Cool idea, great job!
And the white patch is the label!
Yes that would be a nice natural label. I have real labels for when I made home brew and wine. I should have put one of those on. But the natural label is much nicer!
