Thank you very much. Sorry this is late but I just found a spot for comments I have not responded to. Even though I respond with my phone at times it does not go through. Thanks again! Gary
Thanks Kobie I also wondered what the outcome would be. I was really happy I could leave that branch that was in the middle bending upward. That is what I was hoping I could be able to leave in the turning. The surprise of that crack running down it was a real bonus. Thank you for watching and commenting. Gary
Excelleent job Gary. Turned out to be a beautiful bowl. First time visitor to your channel. Thanks to Phil. I love watching you "old" guys work! (Since I happen to be a 1946 model) Subscribed and catching up on all your other vudeos. Take care!
Thank you very much Rod. It was a fun turn. I wasn't really sure it was going to work out. Your military related work has gotten me thinking. I have something planned to make for my son that is related to my service. He is one of the younger generation that is proud of our military and his old man. Thank you for your service and Happy Veterans day to you my brother. Gary
What a wonderful piece, Gary! It's hard to know when to stop, isn't it? I would have turned exactly the same way but not sure I would have gotten such a great finish. Really like this one, great job! Phil
Phil thank you more than 50 times. That's at least how many new subscribers I have. I had visions of having it bigger but that wasn't working. But I am very pleased with the results. I was very tense cutting the tenon off though. But all went well. I would never had even tried anything like this if I had not come across your channel. You inspire me. Thank you again. Gary
Hello, I see that you are using the Laguna 18-36, which is the lathe I use also. Have you had any problems with the digital display or the stop/start switch?
Hi Edward I have not but I take it you have. What is going on? I think the only problem I have had was the banjo not locking done and the live center making a clicking noise. Both problems were resolved. How long have you had yours? Laguna has been good to work with. Gary
Thank you and it can be a risk. I try and stop and check the structure as I turn but you are right they can come apart. Thanks for watching and commenting. Gary
Howdee from Phil's channel...….he wasn't wrong in his recommendation to yours......that's a great piece.....I couldn't put anything in that bowl and cover up any of its beauty...….New subscriber here :) Thank you for your talent and share!
Well thank you so much. I was really happy with it. My wife said it even looks like a tulip. I just was amazed to find all the hidden features. I am grateful that Phil gave me the shout out. I had mostly done segment turning up to the time I found Phil's channel. Now I look for weird pieces of wood. But I am starting a segment bowl wit a bit of a twist. Thank you for watching and commenting and subscribing. Gary
She is right, that's very ironic A tulip out of Tulip wood......I just found Phil......and he gave a great lead, I'm not a turner but I love wood and have several half logs around here to look at.....LOL! Turn On and have a great day!
Hey Gary, I have had the lathe for about two years and have had problems with the digital display and the on/off switch since I've had it. Laguna tried to resolve the problem, but it continues to be an issue for me. How long have you had yours?
Edward I have had it since July 2018. The issue with the banjo was the shaft that locks it in place had a slick paint or something on it. They sent a new one but I had sanded the original and that fixed it. When I got the new one it slipped also. They sent an email asking me to send the old one back. I sent the new one and explained the problem. They thanked me and said they would let the manufacturer know about the issue. Gary
Thank you very much. Sorry this is late but I just found a spot for comments I have not responded to. Even though I respond with my phone at times it does not go through. Thanks again! Gary
I understand that the tree has tulip shaped flowers. I was given the wood after the tree was cut down so I didn't see it before. Years ago we used poplar at a pattern shop I worked at. It was greenish colored. It was not very easy to work with. Thanks for watching and commenting. Gary
You should google it, its not really in the Poplar family, its an Eastern tree, and I wish we had them in Minnesota. Fast growing and good for woodworking, and they look nice alive too, with yellow flowers.
You right I forgot to mention how I mounted it. I used the wood worm screw that is in the chuck and should have mentioned that. I was still new at making videos and now try to show or say those details. Thanks for pointing that out it is always helpful to know what to improve on. Gary
As always, thanks for showing your professional experience mixed with creativity.
Thank you Stevio. Wow that is one of my older ones. Happy you enjoyed it.
Gary
That's really cool. Definitely one of a kind
Thank you Dave. It was lots fun to turn.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Great piece of work love the pattern at the bottom looks really good
Thank you Brette. It was a fun piece to turn.
Gary
Lovely work Gary very nice piece
Many thanks! Happy you liked it and thanks for watching,
Gary
Your tulip shape bowl appropriately for the wood. The greenish color really popped when you put the finish on. The feather was a bonus.,
Thank you Judith! I was just showing this turning to a friend yesterday.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice work! Love the character!
Thank you Stephen I am glad you liked it.
Take care,
Gary
Another cool live edged bowl.
Thank you it was very interesting to turn. And the feathering was a great surprise.
Gary
Awesome, 'Papa' Gary; glad you didn't make sawdust, today.✌️
Thanks Dwayne I am glad you liked it.
Gary
Very interesting wood Gary that you were able to turn into a very, very nice bowl. Well done sir, Don from South Aust.
Thanks Don it was very interesting to turn.
Take care,
Gary
What a beautiful transformation.
Thank you Samantha I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching.
Gary
Love the live edge bowls and the grain is stunning great turn as usual Gary
Thank you I was happy that the shape turned out the way I was looking for.
Well now, it looks like you mastered the art of making one of them. Looks pretty cool.
Thank you Richard I was very happy with how this piece turned out.
I admire how you must envisage how it will look like at the start.
Thank you so much Judit!
Really Great! I’ll look at small trees or bushes in a different light.
Thank you very much. Sorry this is late but I just found a spot for comments I have not responded to. Even though I respond with my phone at times it does not go through.

You made some sawdust :):) but the result is nice.

Wow! Thanks for the lesson. Amazing
Thank you Craig I am happy you enjoyed the video.
I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
Don't watch many turning videos from start to finish except R Humphrey. This was a great video and a beautiful bowl.
Billy thank you so much. I agree with R Humphrey videos. He does a great job.
Gary
Your questionable wood turned into an absolutely lovely bowl.
Thank you very much Judith. It was lots of fun to do. Happy you liked it.
Gary
Nice one, it looks really cool. Ron
Thank you Ron! Are you a guitar player?
👍👍👍👍👍!Super!🙋Rasha.
Thank you very much
Gary what a fantastic bowl, when you started I wondered what the outcome will be the wood the grain and the crack is awesome and stunning.
Thanks Kobie I also wondered what the outcome would be. I was really happy I could leave that branch that was in the middle bending upward. That is what I was hoping I could be able to leave in the turning. The surprise of that crack running down it was a real bonus.

Thank you so much Jim. My favorite cars came from those vintage years as well.
Phil gave me a great kick start to my views.
Thanks for watching.

Turned out real nice Gary! Happy Veterans day brother.

Another awesome bowl Gary! I just found your channel a couple of days ago and I'm really enjoying your art work!
Thank very much Mark I am glad you like it.

Lovely piece, Gary! I love the flame from that one crotch area.

Thank you Billy. I was sure surprised and pleased once I got to turning it. We just never know what is under that bark.Gary

Love it. I've seen and even cut down poplar but what is tulip poplar?
~Kevin
I understand that the tree has tulip shaped flowers. I was given the wood after the tree was cut down so I didn't see it before.
Years ago we used poplar at a pattern shop I worked at. It was greenish colored. It was not very easy to work with.

Gary
You should google it, its not really in the Poplar family, its an Eastern tree, and I wish we had them in Minnesota. Fast growing and good for woodworking, and they look nice alive too, with yellow flowers.
You skipped over how you initially mounted it to the lathe. I would love to have seen that!
You right I forgot to mention how I mounted it. I used the wood worm screw that is in the chuck and should have mentioned that.
I was still new at making videos and now try to show or say those details.
Thanks for pointing that out it is always helpful to know what to improve on.
Gary
I see the feather but I see a whale too.
Wow great eye....I see the whale now. Sometimes we are to close to our work to see the whales LOL
Gary
As a New Zealander, what I see is not a feather, but a fern frond. Not silver fern (ponga), but mamaku - black fern. Beautiful bowl, Gary!
