- Hello, Thanks for turning in
In this video I’ll be turning a few bowls from the wood of this old Black walnut tree for the Shook family,
They wanted a few for a memorial of this old tree,
This tree was used to clean and preparation of Hogs
Field dressing/ Processing for meat.
Here’s a little bit of the history of this land and tree
Written by Brenda Shook:
Land purchased by William Shook
Approximately 120 years ago.
Each Fall when Hog killing time came around, This old walnut tree was used to hang hogs up in so the internal organs could be removed; This became known as the hog hanging tree.
About ten years ago the old walnut tree finally gave up the cause and fell over after years of life.
Today the fifth generation of the Shook family is still living on this land, Just like the old walnut tree that set down its roots on this land deep in the Appalachian Mountains,
The Shook family has planted their roots just as deep.
I turned 7 bowls and, theirs a tree root that I had cut off the tree also but I didn’t get it made into anything yet, The finish on the bowls is
Mineral Oil Beeswax.
My friend Brian of BCH Enterprise
Did the Laser engraving.
Towards the very end of the video I added a few nature clips, one my wife captured some footage of a Bear in the back yard, one we were walking and came across a massive Burl that had the entire inside rotted out with moss growing all over it, couple spring flowers and a Black snake at the very end, me and my wife saw while walking around the park.
I hope you enjoy the video
And hope you tune in for
next one.

The bowls are beautiful! The grain in the black walnut wood is amazing. I love that they have a special history too.
Thanks! I like working on some wood with history behind it, Thanks for turning in 😎
Gorgeous wood makes such beautiful bowls. They are a blessed family.
I enjoyed every bit of this video.

Excellent work. Just can’t beat that walnut grain.
😎😊
All I can say is WOW.🪱
😎
Beautiful job Kimsey. Very fortunate to have so much awesome wood to work with.
😎😊
Absolutely amazing wood! And you the guy who got to turn all that WALNUT with such a historical edge. Put a couple of marks up on the wall to hold that memory.
😎😊
Some real pretty wood there, and nice that the family has something to hold on to after the tree fell, thanks for sharing.
😎
Great turning on some beautifully figured wood.
Thanks Lee!😎
Beautiful bowls, I love Black Walnut. Enjoyed the video all the way to the end.
Howdy John! Glad you enjoyed the video 😎
Good evening, Kimsey.
Wonderful video. The story was very interesting and made the bowl turning all the more fun to watch. Your designs were excellent revealing gorgeous grain. The family will enjoy the bowls and re-tell the story many times.
Howdy Ray Glad ya enjoyed the video it was lots of fun 😎
Take care buddy 🤝
That is a fine looking batch of beautiful bowls Kimsey. Fantastic looking Black Walnut!

I’ve got some more from a different person to hopefully get started on pretty soon, Have a good one 🤝

Thanks Ernie I appreciate the compliments buddy! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊😎
I’ll probably be talking on the next one😄
Have a good one 🤝
Masterful job creating heirloom gifts for the Shook family. Kudos my friend!..... Nothing like a Water Moccasin guard snake to do the job! as well.....
Thanks Rob!
I think it was just a rat snake, and he probably had a snack and waiting for his food to settle 😄
Awesome job and that walnut is some beautiful wood with some amazing grain patterns. The finish you put on them is beautiful
Thanks Buddy!😎
I used some mineral oil Beeswax on those.
Awesome job the figure is very nice. Well done thank you for sharing
Thanks Gary! Happy you enjoyed the video 😎
Absolutely great video, always so entertaining and this one is one of the best, those bowls are priceless great job, looks like you live in a very beautiful part of the world, thanks for sharing.
All the best to you.
Regards Jim
Howdy Jim Thanks for tuning in I’m Happy you enjoyed the video, I enjoyed working on it 😎
I’m very thankful to live where I am,
Have a good one 🤝
WOW these are stunning, well done
Thanks 😎
Lots of beauty and lots of hard work! Good job Kimsey!
Thanks buddy I appreciate it! 🤝 Was quite a bit of work but it was lots of fun 😊😎
Those are some very nice bowls.
Thanks 😎
Very nice way to memorialize that hog hanging tree for the Shook family. I see you were wearing dust protection while turning that walnut. I find that walnut dust really irritates me and I have to protect myself as well. Thanks for sharing.
😎😊Thanks for your support Jim,
It is some pretty rough dust of the walnut, doesn’t smell to good,
Happy turning 🤝
Some absolutely gorgeous figure in those beautiful bowls! Nicely turned!
Thanks Dave I appreciate it buddy! 😎
It was some pretty cool grain in that stuff
Nice wood and great turnings!
Thanks Don!😎
Some beautiful wood in the hands of a true wood turner. Really enjoy watching you and the wood work together. The wood nomes are pleased.
😎😊
Very nice set of bowls Kimsey! Seeing a bear in the backyard and a big snake in a tree are not pleasant discoveries IMO.
Thanks Stuart! 😎
That bear has been getting into some of the neighbors bird feeders, fellow just told me couple days ago, I don’t mind those snakes but I dread the rattlesnakes coming out there is always quite a few around the house every summer, ohh and those giant yellow hornets 🐝 😣
One flew in the house yesterday evening 😬 😄
Have a good one 🤝
I really enjoyed this one Kimsey. Made me late for an appointment but well worth it. Cheers ...... 'Crafted in Montana - Montana Wood Art'.
Glad you enjoyed it Buddy!😄😎
I had a lot of fun working on it
Would love to see your work
Have a good one 🤝
Yay there you are - good to see you Kimsey!
Wow this was a journey - fantastic story and great history too - and you're so lucky getting your hands on such amazing material to turn!
I loved the way these bowls turned out - each one of them different, and each one beautiful in it's own right - my favourite was the wonky rimmed bowl it looks so natural.
All the best Kimsey, look forward to the next one!
Howdy Paul! Glad you enjoyed the video buddy 😎 I liked that wonky rimed one too it was one of my favorites also, if you was ever in the neighborhood I would share some with you to turn All the best to you to Take care 🤝
Excellent video! I turn a lot of Black Walnut also but you have some very nice figure in that wood. Beautiful!
Thanks David!😎
It was some pretty cool grain, I split pieces that were tree crotch pieces, if you can find some where where it has some tree limbs that’s where to find some pretty cool grain, where the tree forms the tree limbs usually neat grain,
Take care buddy 🤝
@@kimseyjustkimsey5256 Yup I have a piece that I've been looking at and it is definitely on my list of things to do!
These are just absolutely beautiful!!!
Thanks! Cuz! 😊😎
Wonderful heirlooms you have created for the Shook family. Treasures to be handed down for sure. Enjoyed the music but missed your narration. Always enjoy the nature scenes. Great video! Thanks, Kimsey!
Thanks Peter 😎
Glad you enjoyed the video, I’ll probably be back to talking a little bit on the next one, Take care buddy 🤝
Great results…. Well done. Just my opinion… prefer no music… i think it better to hear the tunes the lathe and tools sing…
Thanks and Thanks for your thoughts! 😎😊
I read "Black Walnut" and knew it would be amazing 😊 you didn't disappoint Kimsey... awesome video 😊❤ and the footage at the end was beautiful😁
😎😊Thanks Heather!
Great video. You're very humble, you are very skilled in woodturning. Those bowls look fantastic. I never knew about wetting them with soapy water to keep them from cracking as they dry. Was the wood pretty dry already? I really like your choices on design for each of the bowls, you seemed to bring out the potential of each bowl blank. I look forward to seeing more of your turning. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for tuning in Glad you enjoyed the video !😎 someone told me about the soapy water treatment some years ago, it works pretty good, sometimes you will still have cracks here and there but the good out weighs the bad from my experience of using it, the wood wasn’t dry but the moisture content wasn’t as high as some stuff I have turned in the past,
Take care 🤝
What a beautiful homestead you have there, nice walnut bowl’s also! Any trout in that creek? Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!😎
There’s not much fish in the creek, i wish there were though!
What an a mazing set of bowls which I'm sure the Shook family will love.
Great back story on the Tree and the Shook Family.
Take care Kimsey.
Cheers, Huw
PS What was the snake?
Thanks Huw😎😊
The snake was a rat snake I believe, I think he probably had just had a snack and was waiting for his food to settle 😄
Great story, hard work but beautiful results. I know you got a lot of satisfaction making these bowls. Great work! By the way, I assume you were raised near by but how long have you lived at your current location. It looks very homey, comfortable and just like what you want.
Take care!!!
Thanks Zetus I appreciate it!😎
Always lived in this neighborhood but in different houses in the neighborhood, and that place is just about a mile up the road maybe 2 at the most, I’ve lived where I am now since 2004,
Have a good one buddy 🤝
What kind of snake was in the tree?
If was a rat snake, I think he probably just had a snack and was taking a break waiting for his food to settle 😄
What a wonderful opportunity, and you did it beautifully! so how many bowls did you get to finish? I've been turning for 20+ years and I've never heard about the soapy water, I presume it helps retard cracking?
Thanks Howard 😎
I turned 7 total,
Someone told me some years ago about the soapy water, and my luck with it the good outweighs the bad, Have a good one buddy Happy turning 🤝
