Wood Turning Flying Red Cedar Did I Save It

- Another beautiful piece of Red Cedar from my friend Josh.
Had one issue that could have ended this piece of woods journey.
Watch to the end to see if I saved it.
Finished with Zinsser Seal Coat and Zinsser Shellac.
These are the heavy chuck Jaws I used to help remount the turning.
I like them because they have a dovetail on the outside and inside of the jaws

You've crafted a honey jar that'd make Winnie the Pooh proud :P
Thank you very much! Had not noticed it till all the comments saw it. I guess I did not watch Winnie all that much LOL
...yep...I love that shape!...and the grain is just beautiful!...👍
Matt
Thank you very much Matt.
That cedar bowl is awesome! I really like the shape and color but you can't beat the color of red cedar! Well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thank you very much Al. Yes you are right. Hardly matters what shape you have that color is a show stopper.
Take care,
Gary
The Master did yet another masterpiece.
Thanks so much Mark for you kind comment.
Take care,
Gary
another wonderful peice. As I usually say once I change my mind over the shape , I call it a design modification. thank you for sharing
Thank Neil. Most of these types of turnings are a series of small design changes. I guess we just need to know when to stop making changes LOL
Cedar is such a precarious piece of wood to play with but when it works, boy what a beautiful piece of wood. You got one of the good ole boys. Beautiful on your success beautiful on your bowl! Congrats!!!
Thank you very much my friend. I am very happy with it. Right now it has the prime spot on my desk and am looking at it as I type this.
Take care,
Gary
I like the design/detail of the jar like bowl. Sometimes the wood just tells you what it wants to be. Thanks for sharing and as always be well.
You are so correct Linda. It could be the grain or color. Or maybe it is cutting so well one direction you just go with the flow.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That's definitely a winner. And I think the rim is just right.
Thank you very much and thanks for watching,
Gary
A beautiful piece of Red Cedar becomes even more beautiful in your hands, Gary! I really like your design for this piece. It's funny how you can be turning, thinking one thing and then your gouge stops and you see something else. Your keen eye saw that rim appearing and what we have as a result is a finely crafted vessel with a great finish! A little broken tenon didn't even slow you down! Great job, my friend! 😃
Phil
Thanks so much Phil. Not really sure why I just stopped. I had semi decided it was just going to be a smooth cut to the end of the piece.
Sure glad I did stop as I like this shape much better than the one I thought about doing. But like you know it is kind of an exploring trip and your gouge is the GPS system.
For some reason I just said OOPS to myself when it came off. Nothing needed to be bleeped out LOL.
It was fun solving how to get it centered back up and I got lucky.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
Yes Gary you have a winner. Now fill it with gold and you have the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Hahaha. Great job
Thank you Kevin! A pot of gold would be nice! Years ago we did hobby gold panning It was fun and got a few little flakes.
Great save Gary...beautiful piece...stay safe...press on 😎 Joe
Thank you very much Joe!
Take care,
Gary
Gary, I knew I put that wood in good hands when I sent it to you and I love the way you explained the evolving design.
Thank you Josh I sure appreciate you sending this piece of wood. I am very happy with both turnings made from it. They are sitting about 30 inches apart on my desk as I type this.
Take care my friend,
Gary
If you didn't scream, I screamed loud enough for the both of us. This is a beautiful piece, and a very enjoyable video
Thank you very much Albert. Well glad you screamed for both of us as I didn't even cuss LOL
I sure was surprised though. It just snapped off. But Cedar is that way for sure.
Take care,
Gary
Good afternoon, Gary.
Today was a great day to watch you turn a bowl. Actually, any day is a good day to watch you turn a bowl. It's very enjoyable watching the shavings coming off the tools. That sure was an unexpected surprise seeing the bowl coming off your lathe. Your bowl as very nice and it was fun watching the process.
All the best to you, my friend.
Ray
Thanks so much Ray 😀
It was very unexpected surprise for me as well.
Before it even hit the ground I was thinking how the heck can I fix this!
Sure happy I could.
Thanks for watching my friend.
Gary
Nice save and beautiful all the way around. I've always loved cedar. ❤
Thank you Marge. Happy you liked it
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful bowl and a great design, Gary. Also a great save. I definitely like the top like this and YES to leaving the bug tracks.
Bill
Thank you Bill. Both turnings from this log are ones i really like a lot.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I like the look of that wood. The shape reminds me of a Honey Pot. Sorry to hear about your shoulder. Thanks Tim
Thanks so much Tim. Having it looked at soon. It just might be OldAgeItis!
Great save Gary, Red Cedar is beautiful wood. The bowl turned out fine.
Thank you very much Kent. I love it and it is sitting next to the other turning from the same log.
I very much like the shape you turned that into. Great job.
Thank you very much Dale!
Beautiful it’s amazing what nature gives us the ability to show off thank you for sharing
Thank you very much. Yes nature really provides us with so much.
Cool project. Appreciate your sharing. 💚👽
Thank you very much and thanks for watching,
Gary
A beautiful honey pot! Pooh would be super happy with it!
Thank you Kristi. For sure it looks like I got ahold of the Pooh bears honey pot. 🍯
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Well, look at what ya gone, did and done! Another nice bowl and great save after tenon broke. I like the color and shape. Leaving the bug trails only gives the piece more character. It you turn them away, you may have not had much wood to work with in the final product.
From this end of the inner web I give it 👍👍👍👍👍.
Thank you John. Yes this was one beautiful piece of Cedar. Makes me want to go ask about some of the wood from the Redwood that came down about 1/2 mile from us. Been sitting in the peoples yard for months now. It is deep deep red. The cut it kind of strange. Half the length of the diameter it looks. But they are big around.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful pot, Gary. 😊 I love “freestyle” turning and you did a great job. Take care. 😊😊
Thank you very much Rob!
Great work. The shape reminds me of a Winnie-the-Pooh honey jar. I like it a lot.
Thank you very much. Not being real familiar with Winnie I had to look it up. You are right.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Love the shape Gary and as you know Red Cedar is a favourite wood of mine so this video is a win win for me.
Take care my friend and speak soon.
Hwyl. Huw
Thank you very much Huw. Yes I remember you excitement in turning that Red Cedar. I was pretty jealous of that but then I got this piece LOL.
Take care my friend and all my best for you guys.
Gary
Hi Gary, that is a great design and the contrasting colours and the rim look fantastic, another great job done, and a good save after the tenon broke off.
All the best to you.
Regards Jim
Thanks so much Jim. Happy you like it as much as I do. When I picked the piece up I sort of smiled to myself in relief knowing we could get it all fixed up The main reason was I had already turned it true for the first inch down. Just something I usually do. this time it really paid off.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful piece Gary. I am a new turner and have worked with Red Cedar. It is certainly a beautiful wood to work with.
Thank you very much Dean. Yes Red Cedar is really nice. I have turned local Cedar but it is just not the same.
Welcome to the world of wood turning. Hope you are having as much fun as me and my first turning was 1961 in a grade school shop class. I loved it then and love it even more today.
Take care,
Gary
Pooh bear wants his honey pot 😂. Looks great!
Sorry Pooh Bear my wife says she wants it LOL
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Love this piece! For the record, I try to discipline myself to say "Well, that was interesting" when unexpected design mods occur. Saves the neighbors and anyone watching a video from my more usual expletives.
Well thank you very much Michael. I did good when it flew off. Kind of proud of myself. In the past I am sure I would have gotten bleeped! LOL
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Hi Gary
Another great bowl. Fantastic recovery love the finish. Glad your shoulder is on the mend, take care.
Thank you very much Jim.
I appreciate your comments.
Gary
Wow what a clean break - way to stick with it and complete the project! Cedar is kind of brittle - thanks for sharing your excellent work.
Thank you very much Phil. Yes it sure could have broken off deeper. That would not have been good as I had already got to within 1/2 inch of the bottome.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Red Cedar is so pretty. That turned out just lovely. The only thing I don't like about Cedar is exactly what happened to you. lol, it's hard, but it's soft at the same time. Awesome piece, Gary!
Thank you Jane. I have to say I was shocked when it came off. I was a bit speechless. And if I had said anything I it would NOT have to have been "BLEEPED" It was like...oh what just happened.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 hahahaha
Definitely a winner!
Thank you Stuart!
Gary!!!
That looks awesome
You did an awesome job as usual 👍😎
Thank you very much Luie I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching.
Take care,
Gary
Abeautiful piece of Red Cedar, so great 👏👏
Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching.
Take care,
Gary
Great looking project Gary, blessings my friend..
Thank you very much Greg. and blessings to you as well.
Gary
Another winner for sure.very nice.
Thank you Bob!
I think it came out perfect! Beautiful shape!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful piece Gary. You made Winnie the Pooh's honey pot. 😁Nice recovery after it departed the lathe when the tenon sheared off. When you were discussing how you were going to recover it, my first question was, "Why didn't he put a recess in to recover?", then, at the same time you said it, "because he drilled out the inside and it isn't thick enough". 😄
Thank you Mark. And as an after thought I should have just hot glued a tenon on to start. I know Cedar is not all that strong. Even a recess could have issues.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Thank You Gary.... Quite a relaxing viewing. Sitting here slowly watching you figure out the logistics of what you want from your Red Cedar. Very comfortable show today. Watching you turn than rewind a bit, get some more coffee, watch a bit more, rewind, and make your show last. I watch and I also think of my own game plan for my work day. YES GARY I am using you for my own Friday morning shop work, HA . Because you do help to fire me up to get going. That is a good thing Gary getting other folks to try out new and different ideas. When it flew off and you lost your locater I was thinking how (in machining) we modify or make our own sacrificial jaws for holding to complete the job as you know in your machine shop. Your 20+ minute show lasted me over 50 minutes (had to go out and bring the garbage cans in so make that a one hour show for me today, ha)..... Until next time Gary..... TM
Thank you TM. It was a very relaxing turning for me as well. Even when it flew off the lathe. I was sure happy it fit around those larger jaws and I was able to get it centered. But I had plan B ready for action. As you know there are not many things we can not get mounted back up. Good ole independent 4 jaw chucks are a good thing. They do make those for wood lathes as well.
Happy you enjoyed this one my friend and you had your morning coffee while watching.
Gary
I know that Kent at Turn a Wood Bowl advocates for a tenon over a mortise. But in my own experience, as well as watching an awful lot of wood turning videos, I can't remember ever seeing a piece come flying off that was mounted with a mortise. But I've seen and experienced pieces come flying off that were mounted with a tenon. I go with a mortise when there's enough wood to work with, and I glue a block on for a faceplate when there isn't enough wood there. Thanks for the video, Gary! Blessings!
Thank you very much Dave.
He has his own opinions and that it fine with me. I try to use what might be best for the piece. On a very thin piece of wood I will use the recess because the tenon will cut away a lot of the height.
I had could have used a recess but Cedar is not very strong(as you saw) and I did not trust a recess with the jaws pushing against the wood. The best bet would have been to just go ahead and hot glue a tenon on, You loose nothing on the bottom and it is not going to split off.
I think you have the right idea for doing this for sure.
Take care,
Gary
As usual you made the right choice on the shape. I didn't see a catch that tore the tenon off, there must have been a tiny crack or flaw in the sapwood in just the wrong spot. Hot glue saved the day again.
As at least one other comment I think it looks like a honey pot from a Winnie the Pooh story.
Thank you Gil. Now there was no catch. I think the pressure of the tool against the side wall was just too much. And I could see that yes there was a crack at that point.
Honey Pot it is!
I luv the look of cedar... just can't stand the smell of it. It's beautiful!
Thank you Mandi. The smell of it is not issue for me as I lost most of my sense of smell in 2006.
So I just enjoy the beauty of the wood.
Have you ever smelled Sugar Pine? We used it at the pattern shop. Smelled like a bakery when you walked into the shop. At least if you were not used to it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@ThePapa1947 no I don't think I've ever smelled it. Sounds interesting though. Someone gave my parents a huge chest made of cedar when they got married. I always loved it. After my dad passed 12 years ago my mom couldn't handle looking at it at the fit of her bed so she gave it to me. I tolerate the smell just because of what it symbolizes
Gary,
Really like the contrast! Shape is nice also. Another fine bowl👍
Thank you Skip and thanks for watching!
I turn cedar all the time but I have never been able to complete a cross grain turning. They always blow up on me. End grain works great. You did a great job saving this piece.
Thank you Dana. I do not turn all that much. We have lots of Western Cedar here and most is pretty plain looking. I did turn some a friend gave me from all the trees they had cut down. Really big ones. I turned him a very large salad bowl and I think I may still have a piece laying around.
I love this Red Cedar and this one turned nice except for the tenon issue. If I get some more I will hot glue a tenon on for the cross grain turnings.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I hope your shoulder holds out cause I wanna see what you come up next. Beautiful piece again. Accidents do happen but you made it work.
Thank you Patty. On a pretty rigorous PT program that seems to be helping.
Thanks for watching, Gary
That looks awesome Gary. It turned out great.
Thanks so much Laura and thanks for watching,
Gary
Looks great. And I love that you showed the issue and how you recovered. :) I also have to say, I'm getting some really strong Winnie the Pooh honey pot vibes here. :)
Thank you John. I have to say I have not had very many tenons break off like that. Glad I have the shop pads on the floor. Not only is is good on my feet it made for a nice soft landing.
Yes I have heard the Winnie the Pooh reference a few times. And you are right!
Take care,
Gary
Oh yes!
That is a really awesome piece. Reminds me or Winnie The Pooh's Honey Pot. Keep up the amazing work. 👽
Thank you very much. Yes I guess it does look like that honey pot.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I like it as it is. When you first started to shape it I said to myself "It looks like a swede. Without the lip I think I might not have got that image out of mind. 😁
Thank you very much. I had to look up "swede" I guess around here we call them rutabaga. Glad I made the design I did. I remember eating those as a kid and did not care for them. Most likely the name LOL Now I like almost all vegetables.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
By intention or by luck, it makes no difference, you nailed the shape. I think you did pretty well with the finish too. 👍👍 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂 PS I'm glad the back/shoulder is getting better.
Thank you very much. I am very happy with the shape and happier I slowed down on that cut and was able to see the option.
Shoulder is off and on. This morning it is on. I should be hearing from the specialist soon to setup and appointment.
Thanks for asking.
Gary
Excellent!!!!
All the best
Yiannis
Thanks so much Yiannis!
Take care,
Gary
Glad I came back and watched this again... really like the shape you ended up with.
Thank you very much. Glad you came back as well.
Gary
Wow Gary ! That shape is a classic ! I think I will have try this with Cherry wood ! Thank you for sharing and I hope your shoulder feels better soon .
Thanks so much Jon. This shape will look good on any wood you use. I am thinking of a piece of Black Locust that might end up like this one. Oh and a piece of Black Walnut as well..oh and....LOL
@@ThePapa1947 l net you are right . I do have some Black Locust .
A winner for sure. Nice design. I am blessed with a lot of red cedar in
NW WI and enjoy turning it. I lost a tenon just like you on my last bowl!
Thank you Franciss. We do not have much Red Cedar around here. Lots of Western Cedar. Not all that exciting of a wood. We have a real giant western cedar at the corner of out property. makes some great shade.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Garry, I was smiling to myself about the design changes, how often does that happen, what i wasn't expecting for the piece to fly of but great recovery buddy well done. The shape turned out smashing and the colouring in the piece is lovely
Thanks so much Alan. I was expecting the great colors as I already turned the piece that was hooked to this one. And i sure was not expecting it to let loose but I was not surprised. Not a very strong wood.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
You made it look like Pooh Bears honey pot. Nice
Thank very much. I have heard that. I better look up the Pooh Bears pot.
@@ThePapa1947 Winnie the Pooh.
Winner winner, chicken dinner!
Thank you Dave. Chicken is always a good meal 😄
That came out AWESOME Gary and NICE save I bet that smelled good turning it and great shape Whinny the poo would love to have that one full of honey! So would I! Happy wood turnings to you Gary 👍
Thank you very much Jon. Yeah i hear I stole Winniy's honey pot. Hope she doesnt come looking for it..LOL
Take care,
Gary
love the design. Thanks Gary.
Thank you very much Louis!
Really pretty little pot, Gary! Love the shape!
Thank you Billy. This one gets a place on my desk for awhile.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
What a beautiful bowl looks like a honey pot. I love that you where able to save it. I hope your shoulder get better
Thank you very much Chris. I was very happy I as able to save it with just a little effort. I sure could have been worse.
Thank you I will be having the shoulder looked at soon.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful piece, Gary. The shape reminds me very much of Winnie The Pooh's Honey Pot. Of course, I haven't seen that since my kids were young and that was a long time ago. I hated to see the "Oh Oh" show up but that was a great way to recover from it. Great video, buddy!
Take care,
.....Gord
Thank you very much Gord. I do not recall seeing Winnie. Maybe our kids did not watch it. Our kids maybe have been watching wood turning videos..at least that is all I would let them watch LOL. Just kidding I know they check my channel out now and then.
Sure happy it was easy enough to fix!
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I've turned a good bit of Red Cedar (it's everywhere down here in Georgia) and I've had tenons snap off but it's always been the sapwood that breaks which is what happened to you. Glad you figured out how to save this piece and it turned out nice!
Stuart
Thank you Stuart. We have lots and lots of Western Cedar around here. Matter of fact we have a huge one in the corner of our property. Gives us lots of shade. Nothing real special about the wood for turning though.
Take care,
Gary
This is perhaps the finest pot I've ever seen
Thank you very much Brian I appreciate your comment.
Take care,
Gary
Definitelya winneron that one sir. Now you just need to put at the end of a rainbow and look to find a leprechaun to get your pot of gold.
Thank you Tim. If I thought it would get filled I would go searching for that rainbow! For some reason the end just keeps moving as you look for it LOL
@ThePapa1947 well, it was a thought.
It's a great looking piece, Gary!
Thank you Clayton and thanks for watching.
Glad you kept the ring. DJ

Thank you!
Great job, cedar is a beautiful wood.
Thank you Bruce. Yes it sure is. I can be pretty soft but I find the Red Cedar to be a better turning wood than the Western Cedar we have here.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice save Gary! That turned out beautifully. I just love the look of cedar. It’s quite a coincidence, I have a piece on the lathe right now that is almost exactly that shape, but reversed so that it has a short pedestal base much like your top rim. It’s an old piece of very cracky cherry that I thought I’d experiment with, but now wish it was a nicer blank. Oh well, now I’ll spend twice as long fixing the cracks, because I really like where it’s going. Thanks for showing that remount!! Cheers, Rick
Thank you very much Rick. I have spent lots of time saving a piece that I just did not want to give up on. So far I have been very happy I did.
I have to say I was shocked that it broke off. But I should not have been as Cedar is not a real strong wood.
Best of luck on the one you are working on.
Gary
Quite a nice piece Gary! All the best with that shoulder! 😎
Thank you very much Leo. I am on the track to getting it looked at. Just waiting for some appointments.
Thank you for your best wishes.
Gary
Great looking piece - I think you picked the right shape. I have some red cedar, too. It's always interesting to see what the wood looks like inside - with cedar, you never really know until you cut and/or turn it. I like the shape. The cedar is softer than many woods, but it still turns nicely, and the wood comes alive when you apply the finish.
You could have simply drilled the inside and not hollowed it and left it for a glass receptacle insert.
While you rest that shoulder it would be a good time to do a video review about your Laguna lathe now that you have considerable time using it. Also, maybe you could do another video about your lathe accessories, chucks, jigs, turning tools, sanding equipment, etc. What things you feel are "essential", what you use that are more of a luxury and what you have but never use. Take care of those shoulders!
Thank you very much. For sure Red Cedar is a pretty special wood.
I have few turnings I did where I inserted glass in it for flowers. One is actually a piece of Redwood that has colors like this cedar.
I will see what the doc says. I may just need to make a video using your suggestiongs.
Take care,
Gary
Great form, Gary! And well done embracing the natural features. I'm getting better at appreciating and including them.
It was a good recovery, after the flight. I'm been studying the styles & techniques of Richard Raffan and Tomislav Tomasic, lately. They've taught me a lot about getting a piece of wood on the lathe. and I'm so much more relaxed about those chucking points, including them in numerous pieces in case the piece needs a flip or tow to refine. That said, I'll always take a square shoulder and dovetail, but I'll soon share with you a nearly finished project in which I tried to break a lot of rules, including chucking. Oh, and it includes segmenting, so I'll just leave that there. :) Hope that should is well, soon. We're getting over our first round of covid. Could be worse. Could be better. Very good video for an easy one, as you called it.
Thank you very much Jay. Sounds like you are having lots of fun and learning new tricks.
Sorry to hear your recent bout of sickness.
We have had a bouncy few months ourselves. Not related to what you had.
Take care,
Gary
Lovely piece. (My first thought @ 17:25 when the shellac went on was, "Turtle!")
Thank you and now I see that turtle. Good eye on that is it disappeared real fast.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Stunningly beautiful.
Thank you very much!
Love it. Looks like a bean pot
Thank you Andrew. I agree about the bean pot. I also hear The Winnie the Pooh Pot 🍯
Thank you for sharing this and especially how you saved it! I also appreciated how you explained using denatured alcohol to loosen hot glue, seems like that's a better alternative than ca glue. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos and hope your shoulder heals good and soon!
Thank you very much Terri. I really like using the hot glued tenons. It can be a real time saver.
I will know more about my shoulder in a week or so.
Thanks for watching.

nice oh oh bowl
Thank you Delbert!
The bowl is beautiful I wishy phone had smell o vision. I love the fragrance of cedar. I wondered why we hadn't seen you lately. Take care.

Thank you James!
Nice job wish I had seen this earlier I had the same thing happen with some red cedar in stead of trying to repair it I put it in the wood stove this is just another trick to put in the memory bank thank you I'm new at turning so every little bit helps Art.
Thank you very much Art. i have been turning for many years and keep watching for new tricks and wanting to learn new things.
Have fun in wood turning is the most important thing.
Take care,

Looks great! Sorry about your shoulder. I enjoyed the whole video. Well, maybe not when your bowl flew away. Haha. I just had to laugh at myself as I was typing this. I noticed my elbow that has been bothering me was hurting as I typed this. I have had way too much fun with this old body I think. Haha. Keep them coming. I sure enjoy coming in from the shop then watching you. I learn something every time. Have fun.
Thank you very much Travis. I was shocked when it just took off but actually had fun figuring out how to get it centered back up. Sure glad I had turned the top about an inch down on the inside. Made it pretty easy.
The day I hurt my shoulder I was having a lot of fun. The whole day has some good memories up to that point LOL.
I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Take care,

I've had both tendons and recesses fail on the cedar bowls I've turned so I used a glued on tenon too 😁!
Thank you Judy. I actually thought about starting with one. I guess I better start listening to my self more LOL
Beautiful little pot-I love the shape!
Thanks Marcia!

Lovely piece , i have some elm burl its like concrete 😂😂
Thank you very much. I bet the Elm burl is worth it!
Very nice it's pretty
Thank you Joann
Really like the color.
Thank you. The wood is pretty amazing.
I like it paul

Beautiful cedar pot Papa. Every time I try to turn cedar it blows up on me. I’ve only managed to have three pieces that didn’t blow up on me. It’s beautiful wood and smells amazing!
Thank you very much Madonna. It sure is not very strong. The other half of these piece I turned as an end grain turning. Much stronger tenon that way.
I bet it does smell good. But in 2006 I pretty much lost all my sense of smell. I have a little now but really can not smell the cedar.
But I do remember it was nice.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
very beautiful!!
Thanks Dianne!
