Woodturning Log to Bowl with Black Walnut

- Chain sawing on a lathe? Well, kind of... It was there, it was the right height, so I might as well use it, and the thumbnail isn't clickbait!
I use the last of my black walnut log stash, that I've been whittling away at for about 14 years or so. This log is super seasoned, and by that I mean very dry and perfectly preserved. Even as dry as it was, Black Walnut is always a pleasure to turn, yielding lots of nice shavings, and hopefully a nice result.
My email is rhumphrey.woodworking@gmail.com but please hold off on submitting your work to be shown, as I have some catching up to do.

It's important for me to share with you, that Jesus Christ is my personal Savior, and the same can be said for any of you.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Food for thought at least.
thanks for watching! - บันเทิง
"Black Walnut" and "firewood" have no right appearing in the same sentence together! Glad you managed to save that beautiful resource and put it to best use. Gorgeous piece! 👍
Thanks for saving that beautiful piece of walnut from the fireplace. Great job.
You have to love black walnut. We have it coming out of my ears here on the farm. Turn, sharpen, turn, sharpen, turn, sharpen... ;)
Yes! Very prevalent here too, thankfully!
That's a lovely Black Walnut Bowl.
Absolutely LOVE your testimony and verses at the end of the description! Love Jesus even more than this beautiful Black Walnut Bowl.
That is gorgeous - so glad you saved it from the firewood pile. Looked up your 22 A Day bracelet - so sad the read about those who gave so much ending their lives. Thank you for your service.
Black walnut always cleans up so nicely. Another gorgeous bowl and another enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing your talents and wisdom with us.
Really nice. The way You picked up this log and than worked on ot, remained me of how Jesus "picked up" St Paul, and made him to his wonderfull tool.
Thank You.
"Jesus, I Trust in You"
Rod you turned a beautiful bowl with natural placements for chopsticks or spoon rest.
The verses at the end of the video changes peoples lives forever and ever.
Thank you, Jack! I pray they help do so!
I can't help it: I love anything made from walnut. This one really gets me. 🤎
That is beautiful black walnut and you made even more so. It is good that no lathes hurt in the process. Watching you and listening to you speak makes my day
I love the shape of this bowl. And the wood is stunning.
I appreciate how you can take something God has made and shape it into something so beautiful.
The bowl was GORGEOUS! You are an amazingly talented gentleman! I looked up both the verses, of course. And to both I say AMEN! Thank you for posting those, brother! God bless you, and Semper Fi, marine! Thank you, and your brother and sister marines, for protecting my SeaBee husband during his time in the service! ❤️
God Bless our SeaBees! Much respect to them. Thank you Ellen, you're always so kind. I appreciate it very much, and I'm happy you're a sister in Christ!
When you said you picked the wood up 14 years ago my first thought was oh back in the 90s. Then I realised it would be back when I met my wife. Now I'm thinking about my daughter that was born a few weeks back who just turned 2. Doesn't time make a mockery of us all!
Timeless bowl there though sir, it's beautiful. I adore the look of black walnut and you did it justice.
Oh, so true! Time is relentless and seems to be speeding up so much! Thanks very much!
I'm glad that you don't try to turn away the flaws. I love your style.
Thank you 😊
The figure in that specimen is stunning, and very appealing. It would have been a crying shame for it to be consumed as firewood. Glad you rescued it from the burn pile and made that bowl from it.
It has been a Real pleasure watching this lovely bowl emerge from the log! Thank you!
Outstanding, Marine!!
Semper Fi!!
Love the scriptures. May the Lord bless you and your family.
Ther is something very comforting about a simple piece of turning. I wanted just to hold it and look at the grain. I think it is quite something it getes partially turned with just so little in the chuck. Then The interlude with work from others . Thank you for this posting.
I can see why it was a sad day Rod cause that's some beautiful wood!!!
That's a very beautiful bowl Rod!! I love that!!!!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
I'll find more for sure! Thanks, my friend!
Imperfection is perfection to a beautiful perspective.
Yes!
Rod, Gorgeous Gorgeous bowl! There is something to say about black walnut. Even more to say about the verses you chose. 41 years ago those verses led me to my Lord and Savior. PTL!!! Be blessed. Hugs to Sue!
PLT indeed! Thank you, my friend, and hugs back!
Great looking bowl. Black walnut is amazing. Thanks for the verses at the end of the video. Thanks for your videos - I appreciate them.
Thanks for the scriptures you put on. The one in John is powerful. It makes some folks mad that it is so exclusive. It makes me glad because God didn’t have to provide anyway back to himself but He did.
Thanks very much, Doug! I'm glad too! I guess I've never thought of it as exclusive... I'll give that some thought/prayer
Black walnut for firewood? No way! Over here in Germany you would get high prices for this kind of wood for furniture, laminate and such. Good that you grabbed the opportunity. That wood grain is already awesome after you rounded it. Semper Fi.
Great bowl and great verses. A double gift to my morning.
Thank you very much!
Good morning, Marine! You made a good trade. I recently gifted a similar walnut bowl blank to a friend and now I will share this video with him as well. Beautiful bowl and enjoyed watching the process. I read your description and appreciate your testimony and verses. My rebirth date is October 1981. God bless + Semper Fi
Thank you very much my Brother! I always appreciate a share too!
Beautiful bowl with lots of character. Great work by your subscribers.
Philippians 4:23 KJV. Take care. God bless.
Thank you very much! Lovely verse, much appreciated 😊
The bowl reminds me of people. Tthere is beauty within even with the little flaws. One could say the little flaws makes it more beautiful.
My Grandmother used to knit and she would have used the hole in that bowl to feed yarn through and left the ball in the bowl so it could run out what she needed without the ball becoming a mess. I think that would be a shame for such a beautiful piece. Semper Fi Brother.
I love how the way you cut the log, made such an interesting pattern on the bowl. I appreciate that you included those verses, too. God bless you, Mr. Humphrey.
Thank you very much, I appreciate that! 😊
WOW! The black walnut is amazing. I love the sheen it gets. Its just beautiful.
I love the fact you use a chainsaw indoors. My kinda guy. Beautiful bowl! Love the walnut.
LOL 😁 thank you!
I love turning walnut and your bowl and finish are just amazing.
It also has that really nice hand crafted ‘not made in China’ look. Makes my day to see wood art of this quality.
Beautiful work 👏! Black walnut is one of my favorites. You did it great justice! Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!
Another beautiful piece of turning Rod, God bless you & family.
Yes, it had to be! I knew you had to use a chainsaw on a lathe... somehow... sort of.
The end result is, as usual, stunning! Don't worry about the holes. They just add character.
haha! Thanks very much!
Gorgeous bowl. Thank you for the Bible verses
Nice work as always. I have about 40,000.lbs of walnut in my barn. I turn many pieces of this species a month. Love it and maple.
I LOVE it!
Watching you turn always mellows me right out!
Love black walnet. Im lucky enough to have a steady supply of it. My land has a dozen or so huge trees that get trimmed every year.
Love your bowl. Beautiful. Inspired me to go out and turn a live edge bowl. Thanks for sharing. Very beautiful bowl
Rod, absolutely brilliant as always - God bless and Semper Fi!!
Wow what a beautiful bowl. The black walnut is such a great looking wood the colour changes really sets it off. Great work Rod 😀
Walnut is such a beautiful wood! The grain is amazing! Thank you for sharing!
What a lovely guy to listen to. Excellent presentation
You did an incredible job on that bowl Rod. Walnut is a gorgeous wood! Thanks for sharing with us. Yes...the verses ARE good ones. Thanks for posting them also!
I enjoy watching you and learning Thanks for sharing a part of your life with us all
Your brother
Richard
Absolute gorgeous grain, and I love that you rescued fire wood.
I always enjoy watching you work Rod. You, and some of your peers here on TH-cam, have inspired me to begin turning, and crafting things in my own small workshop. I would like to thank you for that inspiration, and for your service to our great United States. I will send a few photos of my work, when I figure out how.
ok I figured it out, and your request to not have more work submitted has been duly noted.
Keith, Thank you so much for your kind words! It's always very gratifying and humbling to hear that I've been a part of someone's inspiration. My email address is usually (but not always) in the video description. I'd love to see what you're making! I'm a bit behind in showing subscriber work in videos, but I'll get you in the lineup...just be sure to give permission in the email or I'll take it to mean you don't want me to show your work, and only want to show me, as is the case with many. Thanks again!
Nice piece of walnut. Nice bowl. Nice production Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
Thank you, Glen, I appreciate that!
Good looking bowl there Mr Humphrey. Love that Black Walnut. I think made a great trade.
Hey Rod,
Love walnut, just gorgeous! Well done my friend!
Keep it up and stay safe!

Beautiful Black Walnut Bowl!! I have learned so much from you this year. Keep up the great work of teaching
Very beautiful I love walnuts that turned out great take care and God bless
Walnut’s my favorite wood to turn. Second is katalox, hard as nails, but turns like butter. Beautiful bowl. Love the sapwood highlights. Keep the faith, and keep on turning.
OUTSTANDING PIECE of ART
Congratulations to YOUR MAGNIFICENT TALENT!
Wow, that is a big nice bowl!
Well turned and greetings from Sweden!
🤩❤❤❤❤❤👍
Lovely.Id never heard of black walnut here in UK. Glad to see it's beautiful colour and grain.
That piece was idea for my bowl saver! Beautiful workmanship !
Love some black walnut. Beautiful work!
Absolutely love the grain. Beautiful bowl! Watching made the coffee go down better this morning. I’ll look up the verses. Take care Brother and see ya soon.
Thank you, brother!
Amen. A wonderful piece of art
Rod you are a wood exhibitionist. Love your work you seem to bring out the best in wood.
Kind of you, Tom, thank you very much!
Looks awesome Rod, gotta love that walnut! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing, nice Piece. Hope your weekend is going well. God Bless. Full View and Like 👍
Hi Rod, Amazing looking bowl and the contrast between the Heart and Sap woods is do fantastic. Great shape and a brilliant finish as well.
I'm so glad that no lathes were hurt during the process. LOL.
Take care Rod. Cheers, Huw
Thanks very much, my friend! Cheers!
Very nice bowl. I turn a lot of Black Walnut mainly because I have quite a bit of it. Very common wood around here. Thanks for the video
Thanks for sharing your great wood turning projects, I learn something new with each one I watch. Living on a 5-acre natural bush property, we have tons of various Australian hardwoods in various stages-alive to dead, to choose from. Naturally I have large and small chainsaws, however, I recently bought an electric 20 Volt battery driven saw for use inside the shop, I am very impressed with its performance and battery life, I have used it outdoors to fell small trees etc. magic to just switch on/off without dislocating shoulder joints. Fantastic for indoor use. Regards from Tasmania.
Sounds like you're living in paradise there! I've got a nice little Stihl battery powered saw too, which I really like, but sometimes the growl and buzz of a gas powered saw is better for video making... point well taken though! Thanks very much, lovely to hear from Tasmania!
Beautiful wood grain and bowl design. 💯♥️
Beautiful, Rod. I like the shape and the fact that you left the features from the pith. Take care.
Bill
Much appreciated as always, Bill!
Gorgeous piece of wood. Love the narration.
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work
Thanks very much! 😊
Gotta love walnut. great looking project.
Absolutely beautiful bowl ♥️ 🇺🇸
Lovely bowl. Hard to go wrong with black walnut. Well done.
Thank you very much, Doug!
2:56 My goodness that is some beautiful wood! There's a chatoyance even just after the bandsaw cut. 😍
Thanks very much! 😊
Beautiful grain. I love when the sap wood comes through to the inside of the bowl.
Rod, I love your work! This is a truly beautiful piece!
Another masterpiece is born! I like your creativity with the way you slice your raw materials. I wouldn't have thought to cut the raw materials the way you did. I would have kept the "within the box" thinking, & simply sawn a round off that log, & started to shape it into a bowl. The way you prepared it made for some awesome characteristics to this piece!
The problem there is you are then just hollowing out & cutting end grain.
That natural hole means you accidentally made a yarn bowl! It’s beautiful.
haha! Nice thought 😊 Thank you!
Absolutely stunning, Rod. Thanks for sharing subscriber photos. Jeff Rehwalt's sister is a dear friend. Small world.
Thank you very much! Very small world indeed... 😊
Beautiful work as always Rod, that was a very good point on showing what that mask caught!! Thank you Rod.!
Thanks very much! 😎
absolute beauty!! Great work Rod!! greetings from Greece.... God bless!
Thank you my friend, and it's wonderful to hear from Greece!!
Another beaut! Your the man bro. So relaxing to watch and listen to. Keep it up
Sanded to 1000 grit and finely finished. Looks great!
Really lovely. So glad you aren’t tempted to try and fill bits like so many are now.
haha! I'm always tempted to break out the resin... It's fun, but I just love natural wood so much that I often defer to the natural look. I do have some upcoming resin type projects though, to be honest 😊 Thanks very much!
Such beautiful wood and beautiful bowl! Thank you for sharing as always. Hope you're well!
Thank you so much, and you as well!😊
Absolutely beautiful... love the imperfections on the edge.
Well for a second there, I thought you were going to emulate Leather Face on the Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie or in that TV commercial when you broke out the chain saw. Ya did it again, Rod, by turning another beautiful piece of wood. Anything you turn I seem to like a lot. Keep those wood shavings flying!!!!! Semper Fi
lol, more like a John force dragster burn out imitation with all that smoke! Thanks brother, Semper Fi
Very beautiful piece sir ✌
Thank you very much!
Hi Rod...
Great work and a great video as always...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
That’s a beautiful bowl right there! The holes add character! Love it! Love those verses as well 🙂 Have a good weekend!
Hi, I am from Huntsville, Texas Y’all. I have just aquired a lathe and am going to learn to turn. I came across your channel and like what I see so subbed.
Welcome aboard! Congrats on the new lathe and welcome to woodturning!
@@RHumphrey Thank you so much.
The wood is beautiful; love the shape, nice job!
Rod that turned out so beautiful! I keep telling my sister I'm gonna drive the truck home to Indiana and cut down the walnut trees in her yard for my turning projects. LOL She said come on. Also would give me one of many reasons to come home from GA, I miss my Northern Indiana home. I love walnut it is pretty. God Bless you and your family.
Thanks very much, Jane! Lots of beauty in Georgia too, and plenty of peach and pecan to turn 😊
@@RHumphrey yep Have turned lots of Pecan no peach yet. Have some Magnolia ready to go. Pecan trees are self pruning lol have a big pile of logs on the side of the house our trees are over 80 yrs old they are huge. Just a beginner yet but I'm learning. I learn a lot from you. It is also nice to hear that mid western accent reminds me of home, Mishawaka, IN. God Bless you Rob.
Nice work as always.
My yard is full of black walnut trees. Right now is the time of year that that squirrels and chipmunks are going nuts. ,😂
Great turning as always Rod. In addition to being a woodturner I also make small items of furniture. My favourite wood is American black walnut which I buy in boards 6 feet long and measuring one inch by six. I live in the UK and one of these boards costs me about $100 so appreciate any that you come across.
Semper Fi.
Thank you my friend! Wow, that's expensive... It's so prevalent here that it isn't uncommon at all to see it used for firewood. Pretty crazy...
I love, love, love Black Walnut and this bowl is a perfect example of why. Amazing job, Rod! 💜
like it i like black walnut it make some pretty bowl like the way you turn i have learn a lot watching your turning
What a nice chunk of wood, and did I ever enjoy watching you prepare the piece. I have chunk of willow I need to resize by handsaw to fit my little 1218. Chewed away at it a bit, today, but haven't had a great way to hold awkwardly shaped pieces. TYVM for the ratchet strap idea!
I like your bowl, Ron. I really enjoy seeing your uploads resume.
Thanks very much, Jay! Glad to hear my video helped in any way 😊
