Woodturning Weathered Purpleheart

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- This is one ugly chunk of wood, rough cut, weathered, and wedge shaped. Or is it a misunderstood slice of potential? See it transform into something more in this week’s project video.
From the Port of Seattle some decades ago, this wood was trimmed from a pier and discarded as waste, and later found and brought home by a craftsman that saw something of value in it. When time went by and the craftsman passed on, this chunk of wood was headed to a fire to be burned away. That’s when one of my subscribers stepped in and said, “I know a feller that can do something with that!”
Special thanks to Anthony of PNW RC on TH-cam for sending me this chunk of potential! I appreciate being that “feller” you thought of!
Check out his channel here, it’s very interesting and surprising both!

These verses stuck out to me as I studied this week. Jesus Christ spoke these words, find comfort in them and seek him. He is my Savior and I’d be truly lost without Him.
Matthew 11:28-30
28 “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
This may well be my favorite non-resin turned piece I've ever seen. The purple with the flash is absolutely amazing.
I love this bowl. Such beautiful colors of purple.
My wife is speechless!! That NEVER happens!!!! Thank you!! That is one gorgeous bowl sir!!
"I hope you don't mind" Laughing! Sir, I think we would be thrilled to watch you dunk a tea bag! What skill on a beautiful project, purple heart is a fantastic wood and you treated it fantastically! Thanks and God Bless!
This right here, what Joyce said! I am also very impressed at how much more you made out of that wood than what it would have been if you turned it as it was.

Agree with this comment!
Who would have thought that such an unprepossessing chunk of wood would yield up such wonderful colours? And those flashes---as though someone were signalling with lights. Gorgeous bowl.
Please keep doing what do with wood and showing us. This hi lights the beauty and creativity in God's world.
I enjoy seeing the whole project, not just the turning. It gives an appreciation for all the work that went into it!
Exceptional revival of a beautiful piece of wood !!!
Holy cow! I would watch your techniques again and again! I don’t turn . . . YET! But I am learning so much from you! Love your food for thought! Again I say AMEN! God bless you and Semper Fi!
Thanks very much! 😊 Your kindness is always appreciated, Ellen.
One of my all time favorite scriptures. Thanks for that
Beautiful wood turned a beautiful bowl by a beautiful man! God bless
Well done Mr. Humphry. Beautiful bowl.
Thank you very much!
Siempre fi. What an honor it was to see you at work. Bless you bringing this old Mother Nature beauty back to life for the world to see. Any and I mean any wood is a blessing from the man up stairs. There is such beauty in wood and you sire have given life to that chuck of forgotten block. Thank you.
This beautiful purpleheart bowl is so simply exquisite!
Thanks for this video. The fact that you show your mistakes and how you fix them helps me. It shows that you don't give up and that I shouldn't either. You have learned from your mistakes and that when I screw something up I should keep going. That's how one learns. It sounds basic I know, but that's how to learn. Thank you sir and keep up your good work.
Purple Heart is my favorite wood. This bowl is awesome!
Sir, hats off for an excellent video. It's the first video I've viewed of yours. Good clear spoken English, no obnoxious music. I will subscribe and search for more of your videos. Great looking bowl. Thanks for the scripture. I'm 62 years old and last Friday I completed reading The Holy Bible. Better late than never. I'm going to start back over with Genesis and read it again. God bless you sir.
Your food for thought is very appropriate for the times.
You can be happy and proud. This piece is perfect 💜💜💜💜💜💜
The most Beautiful Bowl I've ever see
I am glad you decided to show all the steps to making the bowl ! Really nice .
Purple hart bowl looks great 👍
The segments worked put beautifully. Thanks for showing the whole process too, even the 'mistake'
Purple heart wood is my favorite due to it's beautiful color. It was awesome to see you return life to that piece of wood and the creation you made was stunning!
Simply beautiful!! Thanks for the scripture.❤
BEAUTIFUL just BEAUTIFUL.💖💖
From burn pile to a great bowl. Great job.
Silk purse right there!😃👍🏻👍🏻
haha! Yes, it was a battle scarred pigs ear to start with! Thanks, Mike!
The bowl turned out beautiful. The segment's flashing are like facets on a gem.
And yes, rest for my soul. Thank you for the reminder.
Beautiful save of some old pier lumber. My Father loves working with 💜
Made Lord bless the hands that you have for doing such a beautiful work Being gentle and humble about it but it's beautiful the way you express yourself about the purple heart wood Thank you sir it was a very interesting and entertaining video the Lord bless you
The craftsmanship of the bowl is what earned you a like but the verse at the end earned a subscriber. ✝️👍👍👍
Verey Beautiful bowl and wood too. Peace and Patriotism !
What beautiful color and shine was hiding beneath the surface of that dull chunk of wood. Love the bowl.
Great verse to remind us all that we do not have to carry our burdens alone. Words I live by.
Take care. God bless.
Absolutely amazing that the color comes back like that. Lovely! Semper Fidelis.
My Great-Uncle Kenny used to work with purple heart wood a lot when he was around. It is so beautiful, he did some amazing projects with it. He told me it was so hard and dense that it would chew up a lot of his jigsaw blades, but the end result was worth it. :)
Beautiful results! Thanks for sharing. Dave.
Thank you very much!
From an Army MP, our own little Corps, thanks so much for showcasing your 22 A Day bracelet.
Im amazed every time I watch you work. Thank you!
Rod as usual a Craftsman that's a piece of art I'm impressed. Thank you for your knowledge on woodturning I've learned a lot from watching you. I use my scrap pieces of purple heart to make little hearts and give them to the fellows down at the VA hospital when I go. Semper Fi
Thank you very much, Tom, and what a fantastic idea for the purpleheart scraps! Love that!!
Tom, thank you.
What a fantastic piece of art you just made...also to you Tom what a fantastic thing you do for our vets with the purple heart!!!!!! God bless you both 🙏
@Tom Cannon - Thank you for giving the Men at the VA the Hearts, that really touches mine. I used to deliver emergency blood platelets to the VA in West Los Angeles. If it was during the day or early evening I'd see guys out front for a smoke. Every single one of them had obvious multiple physical traumas that were never going to be made whole. I'd get choked up every time. My Dad volunteered for the Marines at 18 y.o. and he served in Korea.
His wounds are not visible to anyone but his family. No one gets out unscathed.
Thanks again Tom.
Purpleheart is my personal favorite, love this one!
love it - you are the first person i have seen use this technique who actually made it look good - love it
Turned out great. Thanks for walking us through the segmenting tricks. It does make it less intimidating
I apprecite the Bible Verse reference. and this Bowl turned out great. just gorgeous.
That was a great job for a small, old piece of beautiful wood.
Mr. R Humphrey, thank you for this video, I had a friend of mine make me a Guitar body out of Purple Heart , he said do you know how heavy that wood is, i said Yes, But i will play it sitting down, he made it for me, and the residence of the wood is spectacular, it just delivers pure Tone, my favoritie Guitar, Cousin Figel
I love the colors n flashes. Great bowl. Just to sit and look beautiful. Thank You
I never waste a piece of wood. Recycle as much as I can. Even the tiny bits get used. Great job on the bowl. Purple heart is so nice. Take care and stay safe. From Petawawa, Ontario, Canada.
Can feast on that for a long time. Thanks for your turning and verse.
Anyone else want the wood shavings too? So beautiful and rich in color!!
Yes sir purple 💜 is beautiful to work with .have a great weekend ✌
Thank you! Cheers!
Stunning bowl made from an old block off a wharf !!
Very good work. Organized with purpose. Beautiful bowl. Godspeed.
Thank you for making this video. The bowl is stunning.
Marvelous piece of wood. Very elegant turning. Thanks for sharing. See you next time
Wow that is a beautiful bowl, purple heart is my favourite timber to work with. I just love it.
GORGEOUS PIECE! And thanks for your service.
Rod just goes to show " never judge a book by it's cover ". nice work 👏👏
I never even knew purpleheart existed. That cleaned up rather nicely
What a great thing to make of what a lot of people would consider scrap wood. I never knew the trick of burning the wood to restore the color of Purpleheart. Thanks for the tip and a very nice video.👍
Always a pleasure watching you turn very nice Purple Heart
Fantastic use of that piece of purpleheart. Lovely piece and a beautiful result.
Oh wow. Such great vision and craftsmanship for the project.
That bowl finished up to be much better than I expected ; I like it a lot .- Michael from Australia.
Stunning!! Thank you for your service! Semper Fi!
Hi Rod it is a another lovely job. Keep up the the good work, God bless you and your family, Russell
beautiful from such a rough looking bit of wood, i held my breath when you turned into the crack in the edge. Thanks for showing me how purple heat reacts to heat, who would have guessed. great job thank you
Caught that Eagle, Globe, and Anchor on your lathe. Semper Fi woodman!
Beautiful bowl and I love Purple Heart!
Very good. Enjoyed watching you turn this bowl. Thanks
Great job! The beauty of wood is within the wood it self, the only limits to bringing this out is our imagination.
Good bowl, Great timber. Thank you
Amazing and beautiful. Thank you and thank you. God bless
A gorgeous bowl. You make it look so easy, I know better. Thanks
Beautiful Craftsmanship Sir Semper Fi and God Bless You.
Thank you
getting over a migraine, laying in bed, ran across this and fell under the mesmerizing spell of the voice and process... beautiful work... inspiring... migraine’s gone... thank you!
That's a beautiful bowl, purple heart wood is super pretty.
Beautiful bowl, beautiful wood 💜
Purple heart is my favorite wood. The cor and flash are so awesome.
Well done sir
Loved watching the work before turning the bowl. Very interesting to see all of the effort to make it.
A nice piece of work created from what would have been scrap, much respect.
I would have never thought to use the torch. Looks great!
Well I learned some things in this one. Beautiful workmanship as always but what a wonderful restoration of old wood! Yes His yoke is light.
What an awesome result from a piece of wood most folk would toss... Well done!
Beautiful bowl, - amazing opalescence ... !!
Very beautiful. Love the natural colors
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
That is simply beautiful. Fantastic workmanship. 👍👍
Beautiful! And thanks for the reminder from scripture!
Purpleheart and Cocobolo are my favorite woods, If I could afford it, I would have a lot of thing made of it. Such a beautiful wood
Love listening to you. Appreciate all you information. The bowl is Stunning.
Another really nice one. And it would be a better world if a lot more people out there recognise that how we live now will determine where we live in eternity.
Thank you, Grant! Eph 2:8-9
I think it's spectacular.. amazing wood type.
That was cool! I think the best characteristic is how the bowl reflected the light! Very cool!
Purple Heart's the opal flash of all woods.
Airborne to that Semper Fi brother!
Absolutely beautiful bowl
A Saying in Dutch language " Wonderen zijn niet de wereld over " means the wonders are not gone away from this world . You let me believe in again .
Very different and really very beautiful Purple experience , which is absolutely beyond imagination, beacuse I never expected that wood will be ever in natural Purple colour .
Thanks for sharing this amazing experience .
That is beautiful. The colours are lovely, but almost more than that I love the very elegant shape of the bowl. It's slightly unusual and delicate. I guess there is a pull towards making a chunky bowl from a chunk of wood. So glad you didn't. 🇬🇧
Thanks so much 😊
WOWZERS! That old piece of wood, I didn't think would make such a beautiful finished product!
I shared this video with the son of the man that salvaged this cutoff. I know he'll be pleased to see that it was finally, after all those years sitting around, made something like this!
Thanks for sharing how we can salvage a project with a boogered cut. I wasn't aware of that until I watched your video tip. If that had been my project, I most likely would have had to scrap it from that error..........................BFORE we watched this!
Thanks again, Anthony! Just trying to demystify segmenting a little, keeps things interesting... and I'm glad it was helpful. I very much appreciate that you thought of me for this chunk o' wood. Hopefully you'll get some new activity on your channel too! 😊
This is the first time i have ever seen purple heart used for something besides an industrial wood , we use it on flatbed trailers for heavy equipment . When its green it smells quite strong when cutting it . That bowl TURNED out awesome .
