Thank you very much. I have to stop responding from my phone. I replied to this the same day you commented but I see it did not go through. That is why I go through and check. I so much appreciate you watching and commenting I want to make sure I reply. Gary
Thanks Larry and I also like the top. My thoughts was to have it only the bottom side up but the piece ended up to small so I had a change of plans in the middle of the turning. That seems to happen a bit. But that is a good thing sometimes. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary
Thank you very much Gary I appreciate the comment. I agree the combination of the 2 colors really makes it stand out. I have some more pieces that I am looking forward to turning. Thanks for watching. Gary
Wow that is some beautiful grain. Turned out to be just what it should be- a tealite holder. Of course it took your expertise to figure out it could go both ways. Nice job!
Very nice looking piece. The section of trunk very well may have come from a lightning struck tree . I have seen trees where lightning had stripped a width of bark from top to bottom and only wound the tree
Thank you very much Randy I appreciate your comments. A couple of years ago lightening hit 3 trees very near to us. Pretty much destroyed them. Thanks again Gary
Thank you Damiano I am happy you like it. It was close to what I was thinking but the log was not big enough around to get there. But in the end I like it worked. The important thing is my friends like it and they already came up with some uses for it. Sitting right side up they might but some decorative things in plus the tealight. Thanks for watching and I am now working on something that is up your alley. A ton of complicated joints is is all I will say. I work on that while turning chunks of wood. It is getting close but it requires really good joints. Thanks for watching! Gary
Hello my friend Gary !!! I hope that you had a good rest in the northern part of the journey and now you set about again demonstrating your skill as a wonderful artist, and the cup is very expressive
Thank you so much John I am happy you like it. When my friends had the tree cut down I ask if I could pick a few pieces to make them some turnings. I gave it to them yesterday and they like it a lot. Thanks for watching and commenting. Gary
Very unique and very, very nice! When the recipient gets tired of looking at the up-curving side, they can simply flip it over and enjoy the down-curving side! Well turned and very nice grain. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much Dave I appreciate your comments. I gave it to them yesterday and they love it. I like it both ways. They had all kinds of optional uses for it. Thanks again. Gary
Beautiful piece of work and a thoughtful convertible candle holder. ps. just an idea...double stick tape the dish side so you can put a lit candle in upside down and show light from the bottom too. I"ll bet you get some friendly conversation out of it.
Thank you very much Bill. It was up to the wood on this one. My head was still in a fog from the traveling and being at high elevations. The week after we left Jasper BC I heard they got 6 feet of snow..yikes glad we missed it. Thanks again, Gary
Hi Gary, As other have already said this is a fantastic piece. I would never have thought of a double sided tea light holder. I love the two holes where the pith was. Watched it with a cup of tea not coffee though. Cheers, Huw
Thank you Huw I am happy you like it. Tea is fine and does the same job..lol But I am drinking a coffee right now trying to get ready to our morning trip to the gym. Cheers buddy, Gary
It turned out beautiful! That's my biggest struggle - looking at a piece of wood and determining what it can be. I've seen many great turners, like yourself and Phil, taking a piece of wood that I would have tossed in the fireplace, and turn it into something wonderful! You guys are great...
Thank you very much for those kind words Garry. Sometimes you just have to start with no idea what it is going to be. Or maybe just a general idea. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Gary
Thank you Bram I was in an odd frame of mind when I started that one for sure. Traveling tends to wear me out. Too much thinking on what to do when there is so much to choose from. Thanks for watching my friend, Cheers, Gary
Very clever, Gary! The shape of the wood, the great grain and your thoughtful design all work together to make a very unique, useful product. I love it! Phil
Thanks Phil I honestly was not sure if I was going to like it. But I am happy with how it came out and my friends like it. I just sent them a link to the video. They have no idea I make turning videos. It will be nice they can see it made. Onward to the next one! Take care buddy, Gary
Thank you very much Bruce it does please me that you like it. I was beating myself up for awhile when I was not sure I could pull anything out of it. So again the wood saved me and ended up looking outstanding. Thanks again buddy, Gary
Nice beautiful piece Gary !! Great example of turning a problem into a feature 💡 😃 I especially like the symmetry and the pith holes 👍😃 Does anybody see the Kabuki mask in the money shot @13:20 'ish ?
Thank you very much I am so happy you like it. It was giving me problems but it worked out in the end. Thanks again for your comments and I did see some sort of a face there but could not place what it was. Gary
Great job! You know, I could always see the novelty of turning a "winged bowl" such as this one. But here I can really see the utility of this design in that the wings give you a nice handle to grab and move a candle while still lit. Of course I am not saying that anybody should do anything dangerous with a candle... and perhaps it was always completely obvious to everybody else as to why a winged bowl would have such utility.
gary buddy you really are a artist brother . great little project i really enjoyed hanging out with you . but i think you broke your tea light lol . great video my friend .
I bought a motor for a microwave turntable off of ebay. I then used scraps from the shop. Plus I used ball bearings. I have bearings for different things I make around the shop. Funny thing is if I stop it sometimes it goes in the other direction which some microwaves do. I made sure I got a very slow running motor and I made a coupler to attach it to the shaft I made. So it is direct drive.
Very cool!
Thank you very much Louis!
Gary
nice outcome

What a nifty idea. Beautiful piece of wood and a great use for it. That way both sides cam be shown off
Thank you Suzette I appreciate your comment.
When I find the right piece of wood I will do another but more a little different.
Gary
A very unique turning. Great idea and a great finish. It is hard to be shellac.
Thank you George...I was hooked on lacquer for years but there is place for all finishes.
Great idea and executed perfectly. Very nice Gary. 👍🇺🇸
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment.
Gary
Another stunning piece, such a great idea!
Thank you Tom I am happy you like it.

Genius Gary ! I just have to try this one . Thanks a million .
Thanks Jon, it worked out nicely both ways and my friends loved it.

Nice Gary, very, very nice. Simple, yet complicated at the same time. Gonna have to try one like it.
Mark
Thank you Mark. By all means give it a try. I will again and change it up a bit.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
Pretty neat Gary. I like the top best, bottom's OK, top is better. Take care ole buddy, Larry
Thanks Larry and I also like the top. My thoughts was to have it only the bottom side up but the piece ended up to small so I had a change of plans in the middle of the turning.
That seems to happen a bit. But that is a good thing sometimes.

Gary I think it is an awesome idea the shape is magnificent, the wood grain and live edge is absolutely stunning and the shine is awesome.
Thank you so much for those very kind words.
The new owners love it and I am happy I made it for them.
Thanks again for watching and commenting.

Tgat came out great. I like the idea of it being reversible. I'll have to try something like that.
Thank you Tim glad you like it and it is fun to do. Have fun when you make one.

Excellent!!!! Ron in the UK
Thank you very much Ron.

Nice idea to make it double sided. I have a couple of red cedar logs that would look nice in this design.
Thank you very much Tom. Red Cedar would be real nice to use.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
Nice piece and love the color! And great idea on the upside or upside down use. Ingenious!

Thank you very much it was a wonderful time and saw so much beauty that nature has provided us.
Best to you my friend,

I would have probably threw that piece of wood back in the wood pile. You saw something in it and brought it out . Fantastic piece.
Thank you so much John I am happy you like it.

Great design and beautiful wood, Gary. Once again, let the wood tell you what it wants to be.
Thank you very much Bill. It was up to the wood on this one. My head was still in a fog from the traveling and being at high elevations.
The week after we left Jasper BC I heard they got 6 feet of snow..yikes glad we missed it.
Thanks again,

Turned out to be a beautiful piece. Looks great with either side up.
Thank you Duane I am happy you like it and thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you very much Bryan and yes the contrast in this wood really makes it special.

Oh man, this is just lovely! What an unusual turning this time. Now I can go to bed happy, I have my fix!!
Thank you very much and I hope it helps you sleep well.
I am so happy you like it I was not sure how well it would go over.
Thanks again!
I don’t know what to say, a cup coffee and two of my favorite turners, you Phil.
Thank you Larry and I always watch my favorite wood turning with a cup of coffee close by.
I truly appreciate your comment.

Thank you for watching Dave.
I bought them off of Ebay. Lots to choose from and very reasonable price.
Gary
I always forget to ask. How did you make that turntable that you use to display these lovelies?
I bought a motor for a microwave turntable off of ebay. I then used scraps from the shop. Plus I used ball bearings. I have bearings for different things I make around the shop.
Funny thing is if I stop it sometimes it goes in the other direction which some microwaves do.
