Well, how could anyone NOT like the video? Any time the Walnut Master goes to work we know it's going to be a beautiful finished piece and this one was no different. Beautiful work, my friend. I love natural edge pieces and you sure did a great job on this one, Gary! Too bad I can only give one Thumbs Up. 😒😒😒 Take care, .....Gord
Thank you very much Gord. One thumbs up and all your kind words. How could I ask for more...well maybe and endless supply of Smarties LOL. Not really..doc says lay off the sugar! Take care my friend, Gary
I like them both, Gary, or shall I say, I like the round one and I LOVE this one! I like the oval shape, the fact that it's larger and, of course, the bark! The dark of the bark against the sap wood just sets off the whole piece for me. Beautiful finish brings it all together. Fun video to watch and fun to see the two examples side by side. Good job, my friend! 😃 Phil
Thank you so much Phil. Oh I sort of knew the bark would be your favorite. Sort of reminds me it might be time to record that little song I have been working on LOL. Take care my friend, Gary
I've been a big fan of Walnut since high school shop class, where I made a cutting board out of strips of Walnut and Maple. It needs some work, but it is still my favorite wood project, after 50 years! I love the natural shine.
Thank you Kathleen! Yeah I had a high school shop class project out of Walnut and that was 60 years ago. The Walnut stand I made is now a segmented vessel. Thanks for watching, Gary
Super fun to watch the beautiful dark heart wood emerge through the white sapwood of this gorgeous walnut. I often find that a little bit of thin CA along the bottom edge of the bark is good insurance to keeping the bark on a live edge piece. It’s fun to see the 2 bowls together. I love them both. Great job!
Thank you Doug and as you say. Walnut is King! If the bark looks like it might come loose I will use CA along the edge as well. That means you would need to apply it a number of times as you turned it away. This held on pretty well. It was fun having the other half of this log to show the difference. Good thing I ended up giving our friends something else as the non live edge one was going to be there.. I think my wife had a choice in keeping this one. I have learned to now not plan on giving any thing away till she looks it over. LOL
I did the same thing for a fellow that gave me his whole dead Butternut tree that we cut down together. It was a task but my eyes quit working around 120 plus years old counting it's rings. The wood was really punky on the outside of the tree and it was also struck by lightning ⚡. Happy turning my friend and love the set. 😊
Thank you Billy! It has been mostly this one as the favorite. There are a few bark haters out there LOL Naw...everyone has a right to like what they like.
You can't beat the beauty of walnut and this one is better than most, the color and shape are the best and I like the live edge the best, well done and thanks! Cheers Al
Thanks so much and a special thanks to this piece of Black Walnut for being so beautiful. And for my nephew for asking if I would like the the wood that was trimmed off a very old and huge Black Walnut tree. Thanks for watching, Gary
Both are beautiful pieces. I do like live edge turning. Walnut is one of my favorites to turn. Probably because I'm over stocked with it lol. Great job as always. 👍👍
Gary, I just love seeing |Black walnut being turned it is so lovely, both your bowls look fantastic but I really like the live edge one more, well done great job
Another beautiful piece. Thank you Gary for sharing your work with us. I really like the turnings with the bark on them. It really makes them look and feel like wood. I have been watching several turners over the past couple of years and have decided to limit my viewing time to the wood turners. Not so much those who use a lot of resin. You and Phil are both my very favorite turners. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much Doug. I think the resin bowls look ok and have their place. But that place is not in my shop. Other than repairing a piece that I really really want to turn I do not use it. Thanks for watching, Gary
Hi I am from the uk I watch quite a few different wood turning videos and for some reason this is the first time I have seen anything done by you and I have to say although I am not a lover of live edge I really do like this peace that you turned. I have now subscribed to your channel so I look forward to watching you create other beautiful peaces
Thank you very much Andrew and I am very happy you have found my channel. I kind of mix things up. Regular easy to do bowls. Some live edge and also multi axis turnings. As well as segmented work. Hope you find them all enjoyable. Take care from Oregon here in the States. Gary
Great video as always; thanks Gary. I used to always mount the blank to get a round bowl, then I discovered the videos from @PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop, and my turning world turned upside down! If I can see a way to keep a natural edge, I give it a go, so that is my favourite of the two you turned. Either way, Walnut is wonderful! My dear Mother-in-Law, who passed away last year was a great encouragement for my woodturning, but she definitely liked the 'perfect' round designs, she really couldn't understand why anyone would leave the bark on, or the imperfections in ... well, it is just as well we all like different things!
Thank you very much David. I like them all and like to change it up. For sure we all like different things. My brother who we lost a few years ago like sugar in is coffee and I could never understand that. I miss kidding him about that. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you so much. They came from the same log. I turned one half as a normal bowl and the other as a live edge. Thought it would be a nice comparison. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank You Gary... Sorry, I am sooo late to the show...My gosh I love the beauty of Black Walnut. Gary I know you enjoy the whirly contraption turnings you are so very good at but watching you turn this Walnut you looked relaxed. It must be nice to sometimes turn a piece and just relax? I enjoyed it a lot and that Walnut looks amazing. Don't misunderstand, I LOVE YOUR Whirly Contraptions and they always wake me up, ha. I like them both BUT I lean towards the Bark ... Until next time Gary.... TM
Hi Gary I love them both, you are a true magician when it comes to turning. And thanks to you with your informative videos I'm on my way to becoming one too.
Hi Gary. Another very beautiful bowl. That walnut is hard to beat! I like both bowls pretty much equally. I struggle a bit with bowl shapes. Mine more or less end up in 3 or 4 designs that seem to repeat themselves whether I want them to or not. The live edge or natural edge bowls sort of have a predestined “boat” shape that’s hard to change, so perhaps very slightly I may tend to turn round bowls to get some variety in shape. I’ve set myself a task to explore bowl shapes and designs to try to broaden my range. Thanks Gary for showing that! Cheers, Rick
Thank you Rick. Most of the time you can get a long bowl /mall base from natural edge or a more stubby upright from the same log. I like them longer and a smaller base. Sometimes you just have to go with what you have and can only get a certain shape from it. Thanks for watching, Gary
Beautiful bowls. Love them both. Round has great distinctive color blend. Rectangular has beautiful shape plus nice walnut color. Also like your prelim hints about turning and mounting the rough wood. Nice comparison at the end
Thank you very much ! If you like these hints just wait till you see what I am working on now. I did not want to say too much about it. Something from my past many years ago. I hope you will like it. Take care, Gary
Beautiful, what a finish, love how it merges from white to black cracking piece. We like this one the best. Been very spoilt this week by yourself and Phil Anderson Artists you both are. All the best from Lincolnshire UK
What a companion piece, Gary! Gorgeous work, well done. About holding a puce while mounting on a worm screw, it's my favourite way. In fact, depending on the wood, I have a difficult time getting it started without that technique. I also find it causes the truest mount, versus entirely by hand. Also, Phil's method of bring up the tailstock is the only way to go. I should try some acrylic sealer. You obviously appreciate it and I don't like missing out. :) I must say, I always thought live edge sacrificed volume of a bowl. I guess that is not always the case. Thanks for the comparison. Great show, Gary.
Thank you Jay. For sure mounting it that way can be helpful. I wanted to show the other bowl to compare the contrast you get with one way and how much longer the same piece can be. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Deborah, I have a little bit but not as much as I would like. I try to space it out so I do not run out too fast. Not many Black Walnut trees get cut down around here. This was a trimming from a very old and large Black Walnut tree. Thanks for watching, Gary
That piece made a beautiful bowl. I tend to prefer the live or natural edge on bowls as it gives the bowls some character. Have made a few large crotch cut and shallow bowls from black walnut
Thank you Glen. I like to make both of them and there are times that the grain steals the whole show. I tend to give a lot away and there are some who do not like the bark on the bowl. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Noel. For sure this one is more for a shelf or coffee table. Or maybe put a few favorite things in. We have a few with stuffed animals sitting in them. Thanks for watching, Gary
They’re both lovely bowls, Gary, but I’ve got to say I like the live-edge bowl the best. That rustic bark just adds so much color and interest to the bowl. I also like the band of light wood around the edge and the darker wood in the center. Just beautiful!
Beautiful bowl!!! After watching you turn these Black Walnut bowls, I've got to get my hands on some. It's amazing wood. I prefer the live edge style bowls but you are right to say they are both great works. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏽
@ThePapa1947 Not a lot no. I live in Central Virginia where we have lots of red Cedar, white and red Oaks, some Chestnut, sugar Maple, and Beech. There is probably more but there are areas of the property I've not been in awhile (31 acres mostly heavily wooded). There are some Walnut trees but they are live and healthy.
I really love the live edge bowl but the other little bowl is really unique with the color separation of the sap wood and the heart. Oh, okay I love them both 😊
Thanks Luie. I do love to turn it but hate to see my stack get smaller and smaller. But it sure looks better turned than sitting in my shed. Thanks for watching, Gary
Hi Gary. Thanks for the video. I'm in agreement with you that both bowls are great. I have yet to turn a live edge bowl and have a number of pieces that i think will be absolutely stunning (as long as i do them justice). I have a piece if Brigalow that has pale sap wood but a deep chocolate centre. It came down almost 9 months ago so is probably still quite green. As always your videos are a pleasure to watch each week. Thank you for taking the time to share your skills with us. Cheers Bruce
Thank you very much Bruce. I am not familiar with Brigalow but some woods can be turned green with success. Walnut has been for me. Some I turn down to size and they may warp but I do not mind that. Some I put in my drying box made from a cardboard box and a computer fan. Have fun, Gary
Hey Gary, this is your great admirer from germany. Of course, your art of turning is undisputed, but the results from such examples are only impressive because the wood is so breathtaking in its growth and in its outfit. Are you making this video, exactly this one, with a German ash, an alder, a... I don't know, an unspectacular wood, nobody would take any notice of it. In this case, it is not the manual or artistically inspirational energy, but simply the beauty of the material to be worked on. For such a piece of American walnut, I would have to pay a small fortune in Germany. Don't get me wrong, your craftsmanship is undisputed, but, and yet, often very dependent on the material. Nevertheless, you are my turning god, and it gives me great pleasure to hear you. Take care of yourself, stay healthy and give us many more videos with your knowledge and skills!!! Your Schorschi from Germany
Thank you very much and I agree the wood is what this is all about. Something about Back Walnut that ever one loves. It is a dream to turn for sure. I appreciate all of your wonderful comments. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you very much Kevin. My wife has them sitting on the coffee table in the living room right now. I may have to start doing this with all the logs I cut down the middle. Makes an interesting comparison. Thanks for watching, Gary
I watched this video twice and I'll say that both are unique in their own way. I have some black walnut i have done both ways as well. I love them both. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much Gary. I do like them both ways as well and it was fun using one log to get both bowls. Thanks for watching, I seem to see more Gary's on TH-cam videos than any where else. Gary from Oregon...
@@ThePapa1947 i too was amazed at all the Gary's out there in wood turning land. I retired from my cabinetmaking business and have recently (a year ago) bought my Rikon lathe which is all I need, and am turning anything i can....bowls, weed pots, vases and now I'm starting to learn about texturing. I only wish I had found turning years ago.. I watch you and Phil Anderson most mornings to learn tips and tricks. Phil and I have a lot in common as I love wierd stuff to turn. I love your work and your videos. Keep up the good work. Gary from British Columbia..
I think it was a name that was used a lot back when we were born. Maybe it does attract wood workers as I knew another Gary that was in my trade as a wood pattern maker. I got hooked on wood turning in grade school and the very first job I made as an apprentice pattern maker was a turning. That was pretty cool. I figure it is never tool late to try new things. Have fun and see you around, Gary
Skills used today (that I have or need to have): Spinning screw mount, check. Applying tailstock support, I know I need to do that more (dont' judge). Using the diamond parting tool on edge to create the tenon, noted. Douple ended calipers, those are on my list. Your negative rake scraper works much better than mine, I need to improve my sharpening. Tenon removal, I need to get better at that. Nub removal. check. To be honest, that bowl is AMAZING! I am improving, but I am no where near where you are. Thank you so much for your videos. Truth be told, they are (in my opinion) the best source for learning/adjusting techniques.
Thank you so much Michael. The diamond shape tool is actually a scraper that came with a set of Craftsman turning tools I bought probably 50 years ago. Most of those sets came with a diamond point and a round nose scraper. Mine is getting so short I can not lay it on the platform on my grinder. A very hand tool and it was about all I used at work for turning patterns. Best tool for doing accurate work. The calipers are very handy for sure. I grind my negative rake scraper the same on both sides. Around 40 degrees. It is a much less expensive(cheap) tool from Penn State Industries. The tenon removal is a cool trick that I think Phil came up with. Fun to do but maybe practice on something you are not really worried about. Thanks again, Gary
Both excellent, but I've gotta' cast my vote for the live edge. Love the asymmetry & the natural look. (In my mind, rather analogous to a George Nakashima piece, albeit in a totally different category of woodworking. I've been a huge fan of his work for many decades.)
Thank you Bill. It was a little green I guess. It checked about 14%. But with the weather we are having even my dry wood is around 10. At least the stuff stored under my pole shed.
Like them both because each one shows a different personality of the tree. As always, nice work.
Thanks so much Mark!
Well, how could anyone NOT like the video? Any time the Walnut Master goes to work we know it's going to be a beautiful finished piece and this one was no different. Beautiful work, my friend. I love natural edge pieces and you sure did a great job on this one, Gary! Too bad I can only give one Thumbs Up. 😒😒😒
Take care,
.....Gord
Thank you very much Gord. One thumbs up and all your kind words. How could I ask for more...well maybe and endless supply of Smarties LOL. Not really..doc says lay off the sugar!
Take care my friend,
Gary
I like them both, Gary, or shall I say, I like the round one and I LOVE this one! I like the oval shape, the fact that it's larger and, of course, the bark! The dark of the bark against the sap wood just sets off the whole piece for me. Beautiful finish brings it all together. Fun video to watch and fun to see the two examples side by side. Good job, my friend! 😃
Phil
Thank you so much Phil. Oh I sort of knew the bark would be your favorite.
Sort of reminds me it might be time to record that little song I have been working on LOL.
Take care my friend,
Gary
Great job Gary. Picking one to be the best is like picking your favorite child! LOL I like them both and would be hard pressed to select only one.
Thank you Tom. That is a good way to put it😯
Both are fabulous, Gary! Walnut never disappoints for beauty. The Chaytoyance is so gorgeous. Have a great weekend.
Thank you very much Jane. It is a beautiful piece of wood for sure.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, nice live edge and a great comparison. I love the live edge!
Thank you Kevin...most do and I think I might lean to that group a bit myself.
Take care,
Gary
I've been a big fan of Walnut since high school shop class, where I made a cutting board out of strips of Walnut and Maple. It needs some work, but it is still my favorite wood project, after 50 years! I love the natural shine.
Thank you Kathleen! Yeah I had a high school shop class project out of Walnut and that was 60 years ago. The Walnut stand I made is now a segmented vessel.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
The uniqueness of the live edge is special.
Thank you and thanks for watching,
Gary
Impossible not to like both
Thanks so much Lewis! Yes I do like them both about the same.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I love turning Walnut and both bowls are really gorgeous, but I like the live edge the best!
Thank you Carol. Well so far it is about 90% for the live edge. I will check again in the morning. Getting late around here.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
WOW! Walnut is my all time favorite wood.
Thank you Dave! I think about everyone loves Walnut. I may have to start looking for more before I use up what I have.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice bowl of course. You do such nice work. I have always liked the look of black walnut. Thanks for the fun. Take care. Go fishing.
Thanks so much Travis. Fishing sounds good right about now.
Gary
Super fun to watch the beautiful dark heart wood emerge through the white sapwood of this gorgeous walnut. I often find that a little bit of thin CA along the bottom edge of the bark is good insurance to keeping the bark on a live edge piece. It’s fun to see the 2 bowls together. I love them both. Great job!
Thank you Doug and as you say. Walnut is King! If the bark looks like it might come loose I will use CA along the edge as well.
That means you would need to apply it a number of times as you turned it away.
This held on pretty well.
It was fun having the other half of this log to show the difference. Good thing I ended up giving our friends something else as the non live edge one was going to be there.. I think my wife had a choice in keeping this one. I have learned to now not plan on giving any thing away till she looks it over. LOL
I did the same thing for a fellow that gave me his whole dead Butternut tree that we cut down together. It was a task but my eyes quit working around 120 plus years old counting it's rings. The wood was really punky on the outside of the tree and it was also struck by lightning ⚡. Happy turning my friend and love the set. 😊
Thank you very much Edward. That was a very old tree and it must have been fun turning something with so much history.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Well all the adjectives have been used so there isn't much for me to say other than "You Done Good".👍👍 Thank you for sharing.🙂🙂
Thank you very much Glen. Your comment hit the spot.
thanks for watching,
Gary
I like them both! It seems that most people gravitate towards the live edge pieces but I prefer to make them round. Thanks Gary for the comparison.
Thank you Anita. I enjoy turning both and my wife likes both styles.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Great work Gary...I like em both...can't go wrong with black walnut...stay safe...press on 😎Joe
Thanks so much Joe! Yes I like them both and I guess it is just how I feel at the time.
Gary
Beautiful bowl, Gary! Walnut always has such awesome chatoyance! I like them both too, but my favorite is this one!
Thank you Billy! It has been mostly this one as the favorite. There are a few bark haters out there LOL
Naw...everyone has a right to like what they like.
You can't beat the beauty of walnut and this one is better than most, the color and shape are the best and I like the live edge the best, well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thanks so much and a special thanks to this piece of Black Walnut for being so beautiful. And for my nephew for asking if I would like the the wood that was trimmed off a very old and huge Black Walnut tree.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Absolutely Beautiful Gary. Love the Black Walnut. 👍
I like both styles.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Carl and thanks for watching,
Gary
I think they are both Fantastic Bowls. That black walnut is a such a beautiful wood.
Thank you John .Yes it sure is a beautiful wood and a favorite to many.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That natural edge bowl really pleases my eye. I think you found it.
Thank you very much. Happy you liked it.
Gary
Both are beautiful pieces. I do like live edge turning. Walnut is one of my favorites to turn. Probably because I'm over stocked with it lol. Great job as always. 👍👍
Thank you very much Robert.
Over stocked with Walnut is a good thing. I do not come across it that often.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful looking bowls. Turning black walnut is my favorite. Especially if you can keep the bark on. Great job Gary 👍.
Thanks so much Scott. Yes Black Walnut is such a pretty wood and nice to turn.
Take care,
Gary
That wood looks like the best kind of chocolate and vanilla ice cream.beautiful bowl.
Thank you very much Judith. Now you made me hungry. But ice-cream this late at night will give me night mares.
Gary, I just love seeing |Black walnut being turned it is so lovely, both your bowls look fantastic but I really like the live edge one more, well done great job
Thank you very much Alan.

Could see the chatoyance in the bottom even before sanding and finishing. Absolutely gorgeous! Photo finish on which is nicer. Natural edge by a nose!
Thank you very much Stuart.
Wow a photo finish...very cool lol!
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I also like them both, they probably came from a beautiful tree!
Thank you so much. They came from the same log. I turned one half as a normal bowl and the other as a live edge.
Thought it would be a nice comparison.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Thank You Gary... Sorry, I am sooo late to the show...My gosh I love the beauty of Black Walnut. Gary I know you enjoy the whirly contraption turnings you are so very good at but watching you turn this Walnut you looked relaxed. It must be nice to sometimes turn a piece and just relax?

Take care,
Gary
Both have unique characteristics.
Like equally.😊
Thank you very much. I agree...kind of like apples and oranges.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, I like them both, but i like the one with the bark on alittle bit more. Thank you for sharing your beautiful projects!
Brian
Thank you very much Brian and thanks for taking time to comment.
Gary
I like the natural edge bowl better. Great job as always. I learn something each time I see one of your videos. Thanks
Thank you very much Donald!
Gary,
A beautiful bowl. I do like the live edge…just gives it a bit of extra character. The sap wood ring is interesting. Well done.
Thanks so much Skip. It is amazing how different they can be just mounting the from the opposite side.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another nice walnut bowl! I like this one too! Nice job, Gary.
Thank you very much John. Hope those tornados leave you alone!
Wow. So interesting how 2 turnings can be so different. Both lovely Gary.
Thanks so much Laura
Hey Gary, love em both, but the round pinto-pattern bowl is my favorite of the two (very clean and distinctive). Have a great weekend.
Thank you very much Kevin I like that one for the same reason. The contrast is so much better.
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful live edge bowl, Gary. 😊😊😊
Thanks so much Rob!
The live edge one is my favorite, just beautiful.
Thank you so much and thanks for commenting.
Gary
Yes, Yes, Yes, both are super spectacular
Thanks so much John. I turned another piece from this batch today. Just as nice.
Take care,
Gary
The colours are amazing! I love black walnut 😊 like both of them because, as you said, they're different but both beautiful 😁💙
Thank you very much Heather. They are sort of like non identical twins. Coming out of the same portion of the log.
Happy you like them.
Gary
Hi Gary
I love them both, you are a true magician when it comes to turning. And thanks to you with your informative videos I'm on my way to becoming one too.

Sometimes you just have to go with what you have and can only get a certain shape from it.

Nice contrast between the two styles, show and tell. Always the fan of the live natural edge myself......with friendly bark!
Thank you very much. and friendly bark is very important.
Thanks for watching,

Live edge hands down! As always, great job!
Thank you very much John! I appreciate you watching and commenting.

Live edge is my favourite, there both beautiful.
Thank you very much Frank and thanks for watching,
Gary
Love working with my copious amounts of black walnut...you did an outstanding job on both pieces
Thank you Deborah, I have a little bit but not as much as I would like. I try to space it out so I do not run out too fast.
Not many Black Walnut trees get cut down around here.
This was a trimming from a very old and large Black Walnut tree.
Thanks for watching,

Beautiful walnut bowl Gary . Worked out with no issues. That’s the kind I like😅😅😅😅.
Thank my friend! It is nice when that happens.
Take care,
Gary
Black walnut is my favourite woo, without question. Lovely work, Sir.
Thanks is a very special wood. But some English Walnut can be nicer.
Thanks for watching,

They are both gorgeous
Thank you

Both are great. The first one without bark is more functional, the other is a show piece.
Thank you Noel. For sure this one is more for a shelf or coffee table. Or maybe put a few favorite things in. We have a few with stuffed animals sitting in them.
Thanks for watching,

HI gary beautiful beautiful. weldone.
Thank you Manjit.
Take care,

Absolutely gorgeous work! You are very talented and creative with woodworking. Your skills are top notch. Beautiful art piece! Bravo!
Thank you very much Mary for your kind words.
Take care,

Hey there’s that sweet jacket again 😆 Another great one!
Thank you very much Ben. It is my favorite jacket for sure.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 next time I’m up in VT I’ll swing by the corporate office and let them know haha
Hi Gary, I love both of them my friend.
That finish is soooo nice.
Take care Gary.
Cheers, Huw
Thanks so much Huw!
Tale care,
Gary
Beautiful bowl
Thank you Bobby I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
Two stunning bowls, I lean slightly towards the live edge, but it’s a close call. Thanks for sharing Gary.
Thank you Ron and thanks for watching,
Gary
Love them both Gary👍😎 love the walnut with its outer white color, the round one reminds me alot of bat 🦇 wings!
Thank you very much Kimsey. Yeah it does look like some bat wings!
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful bowl Gary!
Thank you Hugh!
Both of them are beautiful.
Thanks so much. Happy you liked them both.
Gary
They’re both lovely bowls, Gary, but I’ve got to say I like the live-edge bowl the best. That rustic bark just adds so much color and interest to the bowl. I also like the band of light wood around the edge and the darker wood in the center. Just beautiful!
Thanks so much Marcia. I like them the same way you do.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
As always beautiful turnings Gary. I like both of them. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much Mark and thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful bowl!!! After watching you turn these Black Walnut bowls, I've got to get my hands on some. It's amazing wood. I prefer the live edge style bowls but you are right to say they are both great works. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏽
Thank you very much Greg. Glad to hear you got some Black Walnut. It is a great wood. Looking forward to hearing what you do with it.
Gary
@ThePapa1947 I don't have any yet but when I get some and turn it, I'll share pictures 👍🏾
@@gregjohnson8486 keep watching for it and I hope you get a nice load of it. Does it grow a lot where you live?
@ThePapa1947 Not a lot no. I live in Central Virginia where we have lots of red Cedar, white and red Oaks, some Chestnut, sugar Maple, and Beech. There is probably more but there are areas of the property I've not been in awhile (31 acres mostly heavily wooded). There are some Walnut trees but they are live and healthy.
@@gregjohnson8486 well Red Cedar is a real winner as well.
I like them both.
Thank you Judith! Yes I do a well. Both different styles so hard to compare.
I really love the live edge bowl but the other little bowl is really unique with the color separation of the sap wood and the heart. Oh, okay I love them both 😊
Thank you very much Jean. I do as well.
Gary
That is such a beautiful piece 🤩
Have to love that walnut!!
Well done 👍
Thanks Luie. I do love to turn it but hate to see my stack get smaller and smaller. But it sure looks better turned than sitting in my shed.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
A stunning piece with beautiful grain , I always watch your videos look forward to many more 👍
Thanks so much Ian!
Absolutely beautiful! Hugs❤
Thank you very much!
Love them both!
Thank you very much!
I like the one with the bark.
That one has been the most favorite for sure.
Thanks again,
Gar
Hi Gary. Thanks for the video. I'm in agreement with you that both bowls are great. I have yet to turn a live edge bowl and have a number of pieces that i think will be absolutely stunning (as long as i do them justice). I have a piece if Brigalow that has pale sap wood but a deep chocolate centre. It came down almost 9 months ago so is probably still quite green. As always your videos are a pleasure to watch each week. Thank you for taking the time to share your skills with us. Cheers Bruce
Thank you very much Bruce. I am not familiar with Brigalow but some woods can be turned green with success. Walnut has been for me.
Some I turn down to size and they may warp but I do not mind that. Some I put in my drying box made from a cardboard box and a computer fan.
Have fun,
Gary
Hey Gary, this is your great admirer from germany. Of course, your art of turning is undisputed, but the results from such examples are only impressive because the wood is so breathtaking in its growth and in its outfit. Are you making this video, exactly this one, with a German ash, an alder, a... I don't know, an unspectacular wood, nobody would take any notice of it. In this case, it is not the manual or artistically inspirational energy, but simply the beauty of the material to be worked on. For such a piece of American walnut, I would have to pay a small fortune in Germany. Don't get me wrong, your craftsmanship is undisputed, but, and yet, often very dependent on the material. Nevertheless, you are my turning god, and it gives me great pleasure to hear you. Take care of yourself, stay healthy and give us many more videos with your knowledge and skills!!! Your Schorschi from Germany
Thank you very much and I agree the wood is what this is all about. Something about Back Walnut that ever one loves.
It is a dream to turn for sure.
I appreciate all of your wonderful comments.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
So meticuous. Great work as always. 👍👍
Thank you very much!
Excellent, as usual, Gary!
Thank you Valerie!
They are both wonderful bowls 🤩
Thank you very much!
I agree with you - I like them both about the same. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and thanks for watching,
Gary
They make a beautiful set together, I wish I had them .
Thank you very much Kevin. My wife has them sitting on the coffee table in the living room right now.
I may have to start doing this with all the logs I cut down the middle. Makes an interesting comparison.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice bowl.
Thank you very much.
I like the one with bark the best. But they are both beautiful!
Thanks so much Virginia!
I watched this video twice and I'll say that both are unique in their own way. I have some black walnut i have done both ways as well. I love them both.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much Gary. I do like them both ways as well and it was fun using one log to get both bowls.
Thanks for watching,
I seem to see more Gary's on TH-cam videos than any where else.
Gary from Oregon...
@@ThePapa1947 i too was amazed at all the Gary's out there in wood turning land. I retired from my cabinetmaking business and have recently (a year ago) bought my Rikon lathe which is all I need, and am turning anything i can....bowls, weed pots, vases and now I'm starting to learn about texturing. I only wish I had found turning years ago.. I watch you and Phil Anderson most mornings to learn tips and tricks. Phil and I have a lot in common as I love wierd stuff to turn. I love your work and your videos. Keep up the good work.
Gary from British Columbia..
I think it was a name that was used a lot back when we were born.
Maybe it does attract wood workers as I knew another Gary that was in my trade as a wood pattern maker.
I got hooked on wood turning in grade school and the very first job I made as an apprentice pattern maker was a turning. That was pretty cool.
I figure it is never tool late to try new things.
Have fun and see you around,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 ....it was a name that has become obsolete. We should celebrate our luck..😆
Gary1944 😆
Even it it is spelled with 2 R's it is still Gary LOL
Beautiful work as always.
Thanks so much!
Skills used today (that I have or need to have): Spinning screw mount, check. Applying tailstock support, I know I need to do that more (dont' judge). Using the diamond parting tool on edge to create the tenon, noted. Douple ended calipers, those are on my list. Your negative rake scraper works much better than mine, I need to improve my sharpening. Tenon removal, I need to get better at that. Nub removal. check. To be honest, that bowl is AMAZING! I am improving, but I am no where near where you are. Thank you so much for your videos. Truth be told, they are (in my opinion) the best source for learning/adjusting techniques.
Thank you so much Michael. The diamond shape tool is actually a scraper that came with a set of Craftsman turning tools I bought probably 50 years ago. Most of those sets came with a diamond point and a round nose scraper. Mine is getting so short I can not lay it on the platform on my grinder. A very hand tool and it was about all I used at work for turning patterns. Best tool for doing accurate work.
The calipers are very handy for sure. I grind my negative rake scraper the same on both sides. Around 40 degrees. It is a much less expensive(cheap) tool from Penn State Industries.
The tenon removal is a cool trick that I think Phil came up with. Fun to do but maybe practice on something you are not really worried about.
Thanks again,
Gary
I like them both, but I might be edging to the oval one with the bark. That wood is beautiful either way.
Thank you very much Norma!
I like the live the most. Keep'm turning
Thanks so much!
Both excellent, but I've gotta' cast my vote for the live edge. Love the asymmetry & the natural look. (In my mind, rather analogous to a George Nakashima piece, albeit in a totally different category of woodworking. I've been a huge fan of his work for many decades.)
Thank you very much I appreciate your comment.
Gary
Both are beautiful
Thank you Grambear!
I like them both the same. Both beautiful
Thanks so much Sue!
It is a spectacular piece.
Thank you very much Mark and thanks for watching,
Gary
It is hard to beat black walnut.
You and Phil are fantastic.
Thanks so much Ronnie and thanks for watching,
Gary
both. all of your work is wonderful
Thank you Neil. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
I like them both as well
Thank yo very much Mike!
Beautiful end product I thought it was a green cutting but it finished great 👍
Thank you Bill. It was a little green I guess. It checked about 14%. But with the weather we are having even my dry wood is around 10. At least the stuff stored under my pole shed.
Great bowl Gary and a really good video as well....
Thank you very much Steve and thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
Definitely the live edge bowl, although both are nice
Thank you very much Steve!
