I have some black locust firewood. I need to go out and see if I have one large enough to cut a piece off. The Black Light is fantastic. Thank you Ron USCG MKC RET
Thanks Ron, yes the Black Locust looks pretty cool under a black light. Thanks for watching and thanks for your service.
Gary
That last shot makes this bowl look like the Incredible Hulk's snack bowl. Were those Gamma ray coming from that light? LOL!!
Thank you Gil, I wont tell my wife that it looks like the Hulks bowl LOL. Thanks for watching,
Gary
Thank You Gary....That Black Locust was free of cracks! Very nice...It's also sooo nice when we are able to organize our shops for efficiency & not have to move equipment/stuff around just to complete a project. TM
Thank you TM, yes this one was pretty crack free. Most of what I got has been.
Yes I like what I have now and am getting ready to start a new video and you will see some of what I did at the begining.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Yep, when the boss wants their own snack bowl, you have it almost finished. Stay safe!
That is a fact Harry! Keeps me out in the work shop having fun.
Take care,
Gary
always educational
Thank you Robert and thanks for watching,
Gary
If you are anything like myself,I usually put things in a safe place, and forget where that safe place is LOL
Thank you Tom, oh yes I have lots of safe places I put things. Sure going to be fun when I find everything LOL.
Take care,
Gary
Locust has amazing grain,👍👍👍👍
It sure does Gao! Thanks for watching
Another beautiful bowl. Black Locust has such amazing grain. Glade you found your remote.
Thank you Kent! Yes I hate loosing (setting things down and forgetting where they are) things like this.
Always fun to find them.
Gary
Great little bowl. Love how black locust finishes and that it will glow under black light. Makes it pretty special.
Thank you Doug! I do like Black Locust a lot. It looks really nice in an end grain turning but boy is it hard. I did a droop bowl out of it and it looks amazing done in end grain.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful little bowl, Gary. your wife will loves it Thanks for sharing Dave
Thank you Dave, yes she does love it. Thanks for watching.
Gary
She’s a beauty Gary! Thanks
Thank you Russ! I am happy with how it turned out.
Take care,
Gary
Very nice bowl, love the grain. Really cool black light trick. Phil Anderson tribute was nice too.
Thank you Michael! Yes I was a bit sad when I saw it did not get recorded just because I had mentioned Phil after the nub came off so nicely. So I had to at least add it in at the end.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Fantastic Gary stunningly beautiful.
Thank you Kobie, happy you like it. I was fun to do.
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful work, beautiful wood. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Herbie and thanks for watching,

Nothing wrong making a simple yet classic shape Gary - gotta get back to your roots once in a while. And I love simple !! Thanks for sharing🙏 Take care. -Mike
Thanks Mike, it seems a lot of us like things simple now and then.

@@ThePapa1947 👍😎
Very nice Gary! I’m notorious for walking through a room and putting something down then moments later spending 20 minutes looking for it. My little shop needs a total overhaul…..I bet I’ll find all sorts of things. I’ve never seen that wood other than in videos like yours. It looks amazing and seems to turn beautifully. Very cool that it glows in ultraviolet light!
Cheers, Rick
Thank you Rick! Funny thing all I did was moved a bench and a table saw and now I have two boxes full of things I had not idea was there. Dang!
Yes Black Locust is a very pretty wood and it turns real nice. But not so easy as and end grain turning.
Take care,
Gary
I really enjoy your style and just plain spoken approach! I have two remotes in my wood studio. I put a piece of double sided Velcro on mine and have the ‘backing’ side in various places where I would turn on the collector or the hanging air cleaner - it’s made the search for the remote mostly non existent!
Thank you very much I am happy you enjoy my videos and how I do them. I appreciate you watching and letting me know.
I had straps on my remote with a magnet on the end. I normally hang them near my lathe. I like your idea of the Velcro and just might do that.
I would like to get a second one for my dust collector and could have it hanging near my bandsaws.
Thanks again and thanks for the great idea.
Gary
Another great video my friend. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you David and thanks for watching.
Gary
Turned out nice :). Hope you and yours have a happy Thanksgiving
Thanks so much Aaron, we are getting together out at our daughters for Thanksgiving. A bit west of you.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well.
Gary
Thank you, sharing your details (speed, gouge choice, finishes used, ...) helps a lot. Your process is relaxed and practiced.
Thank you very much Lee I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
What a special glow with the black light😎. Never seen before.
I like this simple snack bowl. This type of bowl is always very handy to have around.
Well done Gary.
👌Frank.
Thank you Frank, it was sure a lot of fun to make and the fact my wife really loves it is great as well.
Take care,
Gary
Wonderful bowl, haven't turned black locust before, looks just like osage orange!
Thank you and I have not turned Osage Orange but have always wanted to.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I bet your wife was very happy with her pretty little snack bowl!
Thank you Stephine, yes she really likes it a lot.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I am new to turning and trying to learn as much as I can from the videos I watch. I agree with you about Phil Anderson's trick for removing that nub on the tenon! It's a really easy, cool way to make it look nice and it's easy! AND! Ack's Abrasive Paste and Polish is made about 1/2 hr. south of where I live...I've finally tried it and I love the stuff! Thank you for your videos and I'm looking forward to watching the next one!
Thank you Lori! Phil's trick is pretty cool but there I times I stop or just do not do it depending on how delicate the piece is. Not Phil though he has it down and very seldom does not take it all the way off.
For sure the Ack's products do a fine job.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Glad you mentioned Phil Anderson’s name.
But of course! Phil is a good friend of mine.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That bowl is beautiful no matter the size or anything else.
Thanks so much Judith! I end up making big bowls and then have no place to put them. Just finished a nice segmented one you will be seeing that could have been half the size.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 will look forward to seeing it.
Nice that it has a solid pith and no cracks. The glow would make it a perfect bowl to use at Halloween! Hope your wife gets lots of good use out of it.
Thank you Valerie! Not sure why but it seems the Black Locust I have does not seem to care if I leave the pith in it. And I think it looks best when it is left.
She loves the little bowl. Great for a hand full of nuts and the likes.
Maybe I should turn a bigger one that I can set a black light in. Maybe make it look like a pumpkin. Hmm maybe for next year. We could put candy in it for the trick or treaters. But we are luck to get 2 a year. We live on a one lane dead end street with out street lights.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Guess you will have to have your own Halloween party if you make a bigger bowl or pumpkin (or both!). I like the pumpkin idea! Alan Stratton, As Wood Turns did a pumpkin recently.
Very satisfiying to watch and a nice result.
Thank you very much and thanks for watching.
Gary
Thank you for this as I just picked up some black locust that someone was giving away as firewood. the rubber grippy thing will help as I realized last night that I cut a mortise too small and have to now make it bigger on a project bowl that just doesnt want to be made. Ive already have been paid for it so its a have to finish now.
Black Locust is a very pretty wood. Best of luck getting that mortise bigger. I am sure it will turn out great.
Gary
Wonderful bowl Gary, the finishes used are well explained.
Phil’s tenon removal process works a real treat, however we’ve used it down under for ages.
Nice commentary keep up the videos.
Great trick with the UV light
Thank you Greg, Yes it is very interesting what a black light will do to some woods.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Great Bowl, Gary! 👌👌
And....being a fly fisherman, I instantly recognized your Orvis smock/jacket/shirt (whatever it is...)!!
I watch you and Phil every time you guys put up a new vid! 👍👍
👏👏👏👏
Thank you Roy, I use to do a lot of fly fishing and fly tying Fished the Deschutes River for the Red Sides. But before they made it fly fishing only I would catch the live Salmon flies and do really well with them. My wife got me that jacket recently and I love it. I never really connected it to fishing.
So where do you do your fly fishing?
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I live in KY but mostly fly fished in VA streams (a bit in MT...) but no longer fish very much (afraid of falling!). At 67, for some reason, my balance is kinda shot.
Tied flies & crappy jigs for years..., & now ‘hooked’ on shop stuff - especially the wood lathe.
Love watching you turn stuff ❤️, so keep the vids coming!
Another great video. Thank ya Sir.!😊
Thank you very much Charles and thanks for watching,
Gary
Encore une magnifique réalisation dans un bois très étonnant presque magique avec ses " spires " presque octogonale. Il a l'air facile à travailler ? Quelque soit le continent, rien ne se perd tout se retrouve plus ou moins tardivement !
Je comprends que Madame ne puisse se séparer de ce bol trop longtemps. CONGRATULATION, Gary ! Jean-Luc
Merci beaucoup.
Oui c'était assez facile à tourner.
Beaucoup de choses sont perdues mais sont retrouvées tôt ou tard.
Ma femme a adoré et quand j'ai montré ici pour la première fois, elle a dit que je pouvais l'avoir maintenant. J'ai dit que je dois aller le signer alors vous pouvez.
Merci d'avoir regardé,
Gary
Nice.
Thank you Louis and thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, you did a great job on this simple bowl. HappyThanksgiving.
Thank you Don and Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.
Gary
That is one beautiful bowl, Gary! I sure am glad you found your remote control. I can’t imagine walking all the way across the shop to turn on my dust collector. LOL! I must say I prefer the natural wood to seeing it under the black light. But still, it was interesting. Another great video, my friend!! 👍👍👍
Thank you Gord, well I am glad as well. That darn dust collector is almost 6 feet away. Think of all the wasted steps I would be using LOL. I do need to get a back up for it. Maybe one to hang by the band saws. I was told you can get a universal one that you can program to your system. Know anything about that?
Thanks for watching,
Gary
No, I don’t know anything about a universal remote that you can program from the one you have. But I cannot tell in the video what brand yours is. Maybe you can get some information from whoever manufactures your remote. That is about all I could suggest, Gary. I hope you find something that will work.
…..Gord
Gord I have a Laguna and I had an issue with mine a few years ago and I called about a replacement. It was just out of warranty and that person suggested a universal one because a replacement was pretty costly. I will call them again and probably just ordered theirs.
Thanks buddy!
I just happen to see your channel and thought I would give a look see… sure glad I did! You do some awesome work Gary! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much Bill, I am happy you found my channel and truly appreciate you watching and commenting.
Take care,
Gary
Great little bowl! Thanks for sharing!!! Do you have a video on the nub removal technique?
Thank you Darrell, happy you liked it.
I do not have a specific video for that nub removal. Thanks for watching and on the next bowl I will make sure I show it.
I picked up the trick from watching Phil Anderson and he has a video on doing that.
Gary
I love the bowl it is BEAUTIFUL I can't remember the name of the wood but boy it does have a nice design to it GREAT JOB 👍
Thank you Larraine! It is Black Locust and for sure it is a very pretty wood.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Your RUclips has an enormous amount of information. I'm putting you on my select list of RUclips to watch. I love the information, thank you, Very nice bowl. Is it possible for you to let me know the brand name of the sanding filler and
abrace paste so I can look for some??
Thank you Joseph I appreciate your comments.
I used Zinsser Seal Coat for the sealer and Acks abrasive paste and polishing paste for the final finsih.
Zinsser is sold at most stores dealing with finishes and wood workiing.
The Acks can be found here: ackswoodpaste.com/
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice. It's great to see projects like this for those of us with smaller lathes. Thanks!
Thank you Dustin! That makes a lot of sense. I know some of the bigger pieces will not fit and can be a bit overwhelming so I will try to do smaller ones as well. Plus it is really hard to find a place to put a 17 inch bowl.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful bowl. I’ve turned some honey locust. Looks very similar. Always enjoy your videos.
Thank you Rick. I have not turned Honey Locust. It is very pretty wood from what I have seen.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
That turned out great! Love the markings in the wood...awesome 😁👍❤
Thank you Heather! That was nature at it's best for sure.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Such a lovely little bowl. I really appreciate the instruction and explanation you provide as I am not a wood turner (though I would like to be!)
Thank you Cheryl I am sure you would love wood turning.
Gary
Nice. Hey, I have your lathe, and wondered about the little spindle locking switch you have. The only solution I’ve come up with is to stick the end of my tool rest in there. By the way, I mount wood on my worm screw just like you do. It keeps your reflexes honed!
Here is what I came up with as soon as I bought the lathe. ruclips.net/video/AzExi1D8sak/видео.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Gracias! Even I can probably make that solution!
@@ThePapa1947 I have the same lathe and was going to ask the same question. Thanks for the answer to the question I didn't have to ask.
Great work. What grind(s) do you prefer on your bowl gouges?
Mine is a slightly modified fingernail grind. I is just swept back a little more than factory.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
A RUclips first ,woodturning a Kryptonite black locust bowl😉 Great job Gary, gorgeous grain pattern and colour , I'm sure your wife loves it. I found two knives and a pencil sharpener having a sort out last week I think we're all the same when it comes to misplacing something lol and I'm sure there will be plenty of other opportunities to show the removal of the nub mate
I am more or less same as you about advertising, I use products I like but have stopped giving free advertising to many company products, if any one asks what polish etc I use in the comments section I tell them .Its all down to personal choice at the end of the day Another enjoyable video mate👍 Cheers Bram
Thank you Bram, yes this would stop Superman in his tracks!!!
So I think I have found 6 of the 20 tape measures I have and maybe 5 of the 50 pencils laying around. Progress feels so good LOL.
I like many products and end up using them. But I use them on different types of turnings and wood. There is no such thing as one finish fits all.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Excellent job !! I have a question what kind of chuck you recommend for my 1216 laguna lathe ?
Thank you! All my chucks are Nova. I have 3 SuperNova 2 chucks and 3 Nova G3 chucks.
Both are very good chucks. The SuperNova 2 is a heavier chuck but the G3 should be fine for you. Either way consider one of the package deals where you will get extra jaws or other accessories based on what they are offering.
Hope that helps.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 thanks Gary for your opinion that's help me a lot
Nice work! What's your drill sanding attachment? Looks like it flex on different angle
Thank you Jaime! I use a right angle drill and the sanding pads with the hook and loop system. I also have a soft disk that I use which has hook and loop and extends the sanding system a little It conforms to the shape nicely.
Hope that helps.
Gary
That was a really enjoyable video Gary. I liked it, and that black locust is really great wood!
Did you know my son is flying to Illinois in two weeks? Is that close to you?
Thank you Leo and I do like Black Locust a lot.
No I live in Oregon which boarders Washington, California and the Pacific Ocean. Those dunes I was climbing at the end are along the southern coast of Oregon.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Well, shoot, that just looks like fun! No cracks, no voids, perfectly round! I get why you needed a quick easy turning but that doesn't mean it wasn't fun to do! It was fun to watch, I can tell you that! Great finish on the bowl, too, Gary. Now I want a snack bowl!
Phil
Well Phil it did feel kind of weird without bark flying off and stopping to check for a bad crack. But dang it sure was fun. And actually making something to use felt strange as well.
I guess it might be time to get the Camellia root ball out. Just to look at not turn LOL.
Thanks for watching buddy,
Gary
Hi Papa, I think your workshop is infested with age gnomes, mine is and every time i put something down the little blighters move or hide it, drives me dolally tap. If you find a way of getting rid of them let me know. A beautiful bowl, beautifully finished, good job you took it in the house before they hid that as well. God bless, stay safe. Tony
Thank you Tony, yes I kept a hold of that bowl till I made it inside. It was close though I almost sat it down to open the door LOL.

Gary
Sir, you mention White Scotch Brite pads. Are you “brand” conscious or would you think the generic white scouring pads to be equivalent?
Thank you Gary, well the fact of it is these white ones are generic and I do not even remember what they are called.
Bought them on Amazon. I called them Scotch Brite because everyone knows what they are and do.
Almost like calling every adjustable wrench a Crescent Wrench.
So brands do not mean that much to me if the product works. Now I need to find out what they are actually called. I think it was scrubbing pad.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Well, so many thanks for your reply. I really do enjoy your presentation style. Curious as to your general location. I’m in Charlotte NC where it is 10:05, past bed time 😊. We will order the generics and give them a go!
Papa 1 other question what type of steel rod was it?
I will try and clear it up after you respond to the first comment. Still not sure what you are asking.
Gary
Another great video. Beautiful bowl, love it. What degree angle do you use when sharpening your bowl gouges?
Thank you James. I grind them on a 45 degree angle. That is measuring from the flute to the portion you are grinding.
I use the vari-grind system and am able to touch it back up with no trouble at all.
One or two degrees either way and I doubt you would notice much difference.
Hope that helps.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Thank you so much for getting back to me Gary. I use the same grind as you. I was just curious to see what you did use. Please keep the videos coming,love them!👍🏻😊
@@jamesharless5357 Other than a 40/40 grind all my bowl gouges are the same.
Nice......but what was the trick? It all looked pretty standard to me.
Thanks...well maybe I should have cleared that part up. The trick was the fact that Black Locust will glow under a black light.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
So what was the woodturning TRICK....? I am curious as to why you left the pith in this piece. Secondly the bottom of this bowl was too big. Thirdly you need to learn how to use a bowl gouge properly. Especially on the inside of the bowl. A scraper is totally un-necessary if you know how to use a bowl gouge properly. Unfortunately many new turners turn to RUclips to learn to turn, and they dont know any better and think that the way you use a bowl gouge is correct....
Thanks so much for all your input. I look forward to checking out your channel.
Wow you’re quite sure of yourself huh? Handmade art can be made anyway the artist wants. Letting go of “the rules” allow you to learn and be more creative. Don’t knock it before you try it @thetacktishion
Love the lines in this. I’m glad the wife has her own bowl now. Happy wife, happy life! This what my husband says 😂
Thank you very much Melissa. Yes she was very happy with it.
I think you husband is a wise man!
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice looking bowl. Were you worried about the pith running through the piece of wood?
Thank you Greg. Might seem strange but I was not worried at all about the pith. Black Locust is pretty forgiving. But most wood turned thin is. Half the time I leave the logs full round. Especially Black Locust. Pear is another story.
Thanks for watching
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 that’s good information 👍
Gary, I've been wanting to add a lathe to my "retirement" woodshop. Your videos have helped in that decision. Your commentary and instruction are very concise and informative. You do beautiful turnings and I've learned much from your videos. Thanks for sharing your skills with all of us!
Thank you very much for your comments. A lathe is a great addition to a workshop. There are endless things you can make on it and I like doing them all.
Looking forward to hearing more about it.

Time to put Black Locust & Honey Locust on the Map for its uniqueness & beauty…….I recently saw a beautiful Black Locust Burl video on RUclips ❤
Black Locust is a pretty nice wood. The longer it ages the harder it gets.
Gary
New subscriber here. I really enjoy your relaxed style, it makes your explanations and tips more comprehensible. The snack bowl creation was beautiful!
I’ve always been interested in turning bowls, etc., just never taken the first step. For now I’ll continue watching, learning, and dreaming.
Thanks for sharing your art.
Thank you very much Sly! Keep watching and then when you feel like it perhaps you will get a lathe and give it a try.
There are so many types of turnings to choose from and I enjoy doing them all.

Great video and bowl. Lovely item.
Geographically You must be close to Phil Anderson, going by your voice. I’m a follower of his ( Yours too now ) and being English your accents are a treat.
Tones of the Great Burl Ives.
Well thank you Stephen, yes Phil lives in the state above the one I live in. Not all that far and on a trip in our motor home last year we stopped by for a visit.
I had to laugh as we never thought that we had accents LOL. But all across the USA we seem to have different accents. I experienced that when I was in the army in the mid 1960's.

Hey Gary, Saw you visiting Phil on one of his videos so I figured I would come by and check you out. Very nice work. Subscribed and liked. Will be keeping an eye out for your stuff in the future. Yall have a wonderful day.
Well thank you very much Allyn. I appreciate you dropping by and subscribing. Truly appreciate it.

Recently had a big ol black locust fall and now I have more than I know what to do with. So far it's been great aside from it wanting to crack a lot more than most of the other stuff I get.... Which is weird because it is a bear to split, usually ease of cracking and splitting go hand in hand but not with this stuff haha
I know the stuff I got would crack if I let it sit too long. Also gets a lot harder.

Hello from Northern Ireland 🇬🇧. Maybe someone has already asked but what is the chisel grinding jig you have and could have sent me a link for it please
The jig is called a vari-grind and it made by OneWay
Best prices I have seen are on Amazon. It works with their Wolverine grinding system.
You can do a search for these and maybe find a better price.

I think it's a pretty bowl. Simple can be elegant.
Thanks Dave. Simple has been good for me lately 😎
Thanks for sharing this Garry but what I don't know is how you support the bowl to remove the tenon at the end, I can see you had a round lump of wood in the chuck but did you turn that exactly the size of the hollow of your nearly finished bowl, hope you can understand this?
Yes I turned that lump of wood to just fit inside the vase. I used a piece of paper towel to make it non slip then turned most of the tenon away with tail stock support. The little that was left I sanded off.
Thanks for the question and watcing.
Gary
Nice job. I am in the same boat with my shop. My pops is moving to a small place and he keeps giving me tools which is great but I am loosing track on where anything is. Anyway the bowl looks great! Thx for sharing

May I ask you.something, it is said that wet bowl after first turning has to be put in paper bag with shavings to avoid fast drying, why it is not better to put in plastic bags with shavings as plastic bags Don t allow to humidity to escape so fast as paper bags? Thanks for answering, I appreciate a lot your videos
Yes that is pretty much it. You need to let the moister out. Cardboard box works also.

I just followed a link from the Wood Database that shows how to identify woods by using a black light. Pretty cool.
It is very interesting for sure.

I have a spot that I put things so I can remember where I put them. Only problem is that I cannot remember that spot. Currently it is holding many of my tools, keys, and what ever.
Thank you Ken, I was about to create a spot like that but now I will rethink that idea!

Papa 1947 I notice that your steady rest has a rod on it. did you modify it, It looks like you added the rod as it appears to have JB weld in 4 segments between the rod and steady rest.?
Where is this video are you seeing it? I did not use a steady rest on this turning and am not sure what you are asking. Also I have not used any JB weld
Let me know and I will try and answer your question.
Gary
Hi Gary, I love this piece! I was wondering how you thin down your Sealcoat?
Thanks Ben. The Zinsser seal coat is already thinned down but if you like it thinner you can add denatured alcohol.

Beautiful!
If you can master the process of sharpening there ain’t nothin’ you cain’t do.
Thank you very much. Sharpening is the beginning of a successful turning for sure.
Thanks for watching,

You did a lot of the initial turning with the flute straight up. Isn’t that contrary to what you’re supposed to do? Usually the flute is at least at a 45 degree angle.
Hi Gary,
Not sure I ever had it straight up but I may have not had it at 45 degrees. There are so many things that determine how much you have the gouge closed that it changes while I am cutting and how much of the tip of the gouge I am using. Especially when rouging out a blank.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks for watching,

Happy New Year 2022, I greet and invite you to my place
Thanks so much and the same for you.
PaPa i know your an expert no doubt in my mind BUT your right thumb position had me worried when you threaded it on the wood screw..
Thank you Bobby for your concern. I see what you mean. For sure one needs to be careful with anything that turns. I try to let go when it still had 1/2 inch or so before it is against the chuck. But I agree that looked closer.
Thanks for the reminder.
Gary
I hang all my remotes up with screws n then I never lose em setting them down.if there not in the same place all the time I can't find em.seems to be a aging thing they say.nice bowl.
Well I have a board behind my lathe where I hang 4 remotes. Still trying to train myself to hang it up as soon as I am done LOL.
Take care,
Gary
What brand and size lathe do you have? Big advantage to being able to run it in reverse? My lathe doesn't.
Mine is the Laguna 1836. Years ago I rewired the motor on a lathe I had so it would run both ways. I only did that for sanding. And then you need a chuck with a set screw to lock it on the spindle. I think most newer lathes will run both ways even the smaller ones.
Thanks for the question Lawrence,

HI gary very beautiful wood and nicely turned.
Thank you Manjit,
Take care,
Gary
Great video! Is there a trick or process to drying the wood with the pith still there without the cracking?
Thank you, happy you enjoyed the video.
Some types of wood just do a lot better of not cracking when it comes to the pith.
Turning a green piece thin helps a lot on some woods as well.
I guess I do not worry that much about it cracking and on smaller pieces I make no effort to cut it out because there would not be enough wood left to turn.
Hope that helps and thanks for watching.

Gorgeous bowl, Gary...I have a Black Locust tree in my yard that is at least 100 years old. I'm waiting for it to fall apart, so I can turn it into bowls!
Thank you Carol, I was lucking with this one. A few years ago I saw that less than 1/4 mile from us someone cut the tree down. I had to go ask what they were going to do. They mentioned giving it away for firewood so I was able to get a few loads for turning.
Thanks for watching,

Well now, a black light is on my Santa list. She was wondering what to get.😃
Kind of fun as other woods do similar under a black light. I bought a black light bulb at Home depot but I think it could have been a been stronger.
Beautiful bowl! Since your camera betrayed you and didn't capture the "Phil Anderson" trick, could you maybe point me to which of his videos that trick is in?
Thank you Glen!
If you watch starting at the 17:45 of this video you will see where I do the Phil trick I am talking about.

@@ThePapa1947 Thanks! I will watch this video asap!
So cool still haven't turned a piece of Black locust yet. That trick with the blacklight just might make me look even harder. I have locust here on my property but I don't cut live trees. Happy turning my friend 😊
Thank you Edward,, happy you liked the trick. I heard about it when I first got some Black Locust and was not sure if it was Black or Honey Locust.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 where I live here in central Pa Locust was used for fence posts. I still have a couple of them that border my property and as the wise man that you are you know why. Locust is pretty rot resistant.
Beautiful Bowl Gary! I love the Locust wood, looked really cool under the light to, Glad ya found your dust collector remote 😄 ,
I wish I had a push button control panel on the wall labeled this button- car keys 🔑 this button- 📺 remote, a button for all kinds of stuff and have some kinda beeper to go off for these things, I’m all the time misplacing and loosing stuff Lol.
Thanks Kimsey, at least when I can not find my cell phone I can call it. Maybe I should attach the remote to the cell phone LOL
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice bowl, put a rare earth magnet on your dust collector remote and stick it to the lathe
Thank you very much.
There is a hook on the yellow boat key float and I hang it at the lathe. Problem is I take it to the bandsaw and the sander and set it down. But if I put a place to hang it in site at those machines where I could see it the problem might be solved.
Thanks for watching and the idea,
Gary
What do you use to thin down the sealer with? Linseed oil? Alcohol?
Denatured alcohol and it does not take much. The shellac sealer is already fairly thin.
Excellent job!!!! Hope some day to be as good as you!
Thank you very much Dave, just keep turning and loving it and you will be surprised what you can end up doing.
Take care,
Gary
