Walnut has such rich colors and patterns whether it is black walnut or English walnut. The contrasts in this piece are especially lovely.
It is fun seeing the pictures you find in the wood whether it is a lizard, a pig, or river.
Thank you Cecilla. I do love both walnuts as well. Finished up another English Walnut piece yesterday. Not without blemishes but wow the wood is so cool. And there is a face in this one as well.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
And also here a beautiful walnut bowl. I already thought Leo's was beautiful, but so is this one. Walnut is really a favorite of mine. Nice!
👍Frank.
Thanks Frank. I watched Leo's yesterday. Very pretty wood.

There is something just so very fine about turning English Walnut, it is such a beautiful wood in the hands of a master..Gary you brought the very best out of that piece,nice job
Thank you Richard and I agree that English Walnut is a very special wood. I also thank you very your kind words.
Take care,
Gary
Yup, you've got that finish down pat, Gary! Sure looks good with the contrasting sap wood and heart wood. It was fun to see how the dark part of the river that you wanted to keep near the bottom side of the bowl just moved it's way up as you did a little more turning. No harm done and it looks great! Just another excellent turning, my friend. Keep'em coming! 😀
Phil
Thanks Phil! I tell ya that was the coolest thing I saw all week when that river relocated it self to a better place.
Looking at the bottom I was sure it was going to be gone. Happy Days!
Speaking of rivers I know you have been on the Clackamas. Well I fished it for years for salmon and steelhead and could go down in the dark to get my spot. In the 1996 flood there was a spot on the river where the channel I would go down moved about 500 yards from where it was at before. Not talk about being confused. Made this little Walnut river pocket change LOL
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Yeah, that would be a little disconcerting. Did you end up standing in someones backyard to fish? LOL!
Actually a new channel was formed and we drifted over what used to be someones front yard. It was a little tricky getting my drift boat around the corner.
That wood grain is absolutely beautiful, Thank you for sharing your video.
Thanks Mark, for sure the is some very nice grain. Looking forward to turning more of this.
Take care,
Gary
Bowl shape plays well with the two tone ribbon in the wood. Great to have a bowl turn easy with out any major dramas. If they would only all go that smoothly!
Thanks Valerie, yes it is nice when everything goes smooth. On some of my turnings it seems like I am doing what I can to make it hard to turn. Like the one I am working on right now.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
This is a really beautiful piece! You "integrated" the crack masterfully!
Thank you very much. Happy you liked it and thanks for watching,
Gary
A nice simple yet elegant bowl , that does not need further embellishment . I love turning walnut
Thank you Gary! I have more to turn and most will be similar to this because I am sure the bark will not stay on.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
hello friends greetings healthy and successful always. thank you for sharing knowledge and always faithfully watching your latest stuff I like your ideas
Thank you and thanks for watching.
See Gary, after doing those exotic segmented and glued bowls, you can still turn out a plain bowl, although there is nothing plain about this one. Its absolutely beautiful.
Thank you Garth, it was fun taking a break to do something easier.
And I was rewarded with a beautiful piece of wood.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary,
The bowl looks great…the grain really popped and the undulating pattern is special. Glad the crack didn’t effect the final product, in fact it enhanced it.
Thank you Skip. It is a very pretty piece of wood for sure.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Love walnut, love cherry. I turned a segmented yarn bowl for my wife
Thank you. Your yarn bowl sounds very nice.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Good evening, Gary. Gotta love Walnut. Nice job with the crack. Absolutely a beautiful bowl. Oh how the wood changes when the finish goes on. Wowzer. I'm already excited about your next video. See ya then.
Thank you very much Ray. For sure it is like once you put that finish on there is nothing left to see. That is why I take it one step farther with the abrasive paste.
See ya later!
Gary
You really captured the beauty in the grain of that piece of English Walnut, Gary! Just a lovely bowl. Thanks!
Thank you Greg. I was a wonderful piece of wood to turn.

Absolutely beautiful English walnut Gary I love it take care and God bless
Thank you very much Mike and God's blessings on you.

Walnut never seems to disappoint in its beauty. I do a lot of Black Walnut and have quite a bit of it. As soon as the snow melts I'm getting another 20 ft log. Another Another nice video
Yes Walnut is a great wood. Wish I could find a 20 foot Black Walnut. I have yet to score any of it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Very common around here. I have 2 very large trees in my yard. They're a very messy tree and a lot of people take them down. I really don't need this log but I am going to get
Hi Gary that wood grain is stunningly beautiful. Just Awesome.
Thank you Kobie. For sure it is pretty amazing wood.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful piece of art as always. Yep, I know what you mean about making shavings. It is so mesmerizing to watch shavings fly off your piece. Thanks for another fun project.
Thank you Stanley! Yes it can be very relaxing.
Take care,.
Gary
Such a beautiful bowl! There is something very satisfying about wood chips flying! I love the shape too, very elegant.
Cheers, Rick
Thank you Rick. Yes sometimes it is nice just to make a big pile of shavings. I hang a big plastic bag off one of my benches and when it gets full it goes out to the yard for lots of things.
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful bowl! I think walnut is my favorite wood. Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!
Thank you Stephen. Yes Walnut is a very nice wood.

Another beautiful walnut Bowl awesome work take care my friend.
Thank you Sagar and thanks for watching.
Gary
That’s a beautiful bowl. Well done Gary. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Gary
Beautiful bowl. Would like to see more of two tone pieces of wood.
Thank you Leslie! I have lots more of this wood and I am sure most will be two tone.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful piece of Walnut ... the finish really highlights the grain 😍
Thank you Denise, happy you liked it.
Gary
Sometimes simple is the most beautiful in this case it’s true
Thank you Anthony! Like Phil said in his last video. Sometimes you just have to let the wood do the talkin.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful Gary. That wood is special. The crack you filled looks like it's a natural part of the grain. It also sounds like the mad scientist is at it again! We will see. Take care.
Bill
Thank you Bill. I do like how the crack looks as well.
Yes late yesterday I was in the lab and got the pieces together. Today I will see if I can turn it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I love just making shavings. It's what it's all about.
For sure! It is fun watching those shavings peel off. As long as you stop in time.
One day my wife needed some shavings to go around her blueberry plants I grabbed a piece of Leland Cypress and turned it down to nothing and brought her the shavings. Now that was fun!
My my my, what a beautiful bowl. I'm one that loves wooden bowls and especially English walnut, but I've never had the opportunity to turn one.
I've watched your videos now for 3-4 years and I've never seen one that I haven't liked. You do a fantastic job on everything you turn. You and Phil are 2 of the best turners that I've watched and I hope to see many more. Thank you for showing your work, I have learned alot from you. Again thank you... Wesley
Thank you Wesley for those very kind words. They are much appreciated. I think Phil and I are just a couple of old guys that have a love for wood turning.
Happy turning to you,
Gary
Beautiful walnut bowl. You inspire me to do more lathe work. Really enjoy watching you turn.
Thank you Doug I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching.
Gary
Wow. It sure is a beautiful bowl Gary with the grain and colours of the grain
Thank you Todd, happy you liked it and appreciate you watching.

Looking forward to turning more. Maybe in a few weeks.

Garry, what a lovely bowl just fantastic the wood is so beautiful
Alan
Thank you Alan and thanks for watching,

It's really beautiful and the crack that filled adds to the design, thank you. Graham UK
Thanks so much Graham. It is always nice to turn a piece of wood with so much beauty on the inside.
Happy you liked it.
Gary
That is just beautiful Gary. The crack adds character to it. 👍👍👏👏
Thank you Steve and for sure that crack fits right in there with all the natural beauty.
Take care,
Gary
Hi, Gary. Another great piece to come out of your shop! It's beautiful! I need to take a road trip out of Alaska and look for some hardwoods. That walnut turned out great!
I took your advice and produced my first RUclips video. It's quite a learning process, and my video shows the amateur videographer. The western red cedar burl bowl came out OK, with its lumps, bumps, knots, and bark inclusions. Oh, and a hole! Take a look if you find a few minutes. Please leave some critical comments or suggestions. Thanks for your encouragement!
Take care,
--Paul
Thank you Paul I appreciate your comments. I will head right over and check out your video. Thanks for the heads up.
Gary
I LOVE walnut, Gary, and this is one of the prettiest pieces I’ve seen in a long time. As usual you have done an incredible job of turning. It must’ve smelled very nice in your shop for a little while. Really enjoyed this video, my friend. 👍😃😃👍😃👍
Happy turning,
…..Gord
Thank you Gord. This piece was so pretty all I had to do is not turn it away. Even before I turned it I could see the beauty where it had been cut.
So I have a problem with knowing how anything smells.
In 2006 I lost all my sense of smell. Not sure what caused it but the doctors said it might have been some virus. I used my share of epoxy and other resins at work when making core boxes for the patterns I built. The fumes could have had some effect but who knows.
Now and then in cold dry air I can smell some things.
Take care my friend,
Gary
You have turned a strikingly beautiful bowl. That Walnut blank was a treasure.
Thanks for another great video! 👍👍
Thanks so much Jerry, I will be turning more of it soon. Thank you for watching,
Gary
Nice to hear your thought process as you were determining the pieces shape. Love walnut great piece.
Thanks so much William! This one had me thinking a lot.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Oh WOW that grain just jumps out at ya ! Beautiful bowl sir. Looks like that was as much fun to make as it was to watch !
Thank you Jason. Yes it was lots of fun. Kind of like the old Wrigley gum commercial. Double Your Fun!
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I love the grain in the Walnut. Good work!!!
Thank you Mark and thanks for watching.
Gary
Another great piece, Gary. Love the contrast between the light and dark grain.
Many thanks Tom and thanks for watching.
Gary
love walnut, Gary, beautiful bowl Great job!
Thank you Dave and thanks for watching my friend.
Gary
Great job, Gary. Awesome piece of walnut, a fancy shape most probably would have spoiled that great outcome of the grain. I very much appreciate your thoughts and comments from the beginnig 'til the end. Keep ist up that way! Greetings from Germany, stay safe!
Thank you Reimer, happy you liked it. Also glad you like how I do my videos. I am basically talking out loud to myself planning my next move. Which I may or may not have figured out at the time. Studied the wood is one of the most important things to do when turning.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful bowl Gary, Your skill in turning is outstanding.
Thank you Neil for your very kind words and thanks for watching.
Gary
Amazing bowl! I love walnut, and this piece is a perfect example of why. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you Wesley, happy you enjoyed it.
Take care,
Gary
Absolutely stunning bowl excellent work Mr. Gary, take care stay safe and warm God bless.
Thank you very much Donald! The last few days it has warmed up here. Even had a short sleeve shirt on in the shop. But I have no doubt it will be getting cold soon. God Bless!
Take care,
Gary
Gary, you found a beautiful bowl. Well done!
Thank you very much Crystal. There sure was some pretty grain inside this piece.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
WOW that is some beautiful wood. yep its nice to have a change. that's why I also have different projects on the go. lol
Thank you Manjit! Yes the wood from this tree has been just beautiful.
Changes can be good but just getting ready to put the finish on another one of odd turnings that keep me awake all night LOL
Take care,
Gary
That is so beautiful Gary! I love love love to work with walnut!🤩
Thank you Heather. It is not only a beautiful wood it turns so nice.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I really liked this one Gary, hot here in Southern Australia today. The dogs and myself were preparing for the new sawmill, hoping to share some projects in the future. All the best, Liz.
Thanks so much Liz! Not so hot here in Oregon but not as cold as it has been.
New saw mil...now that sounds interesting.
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful bowl an outstanding turning 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Dennis I appreciate you watching and commenting.

Beautiful bowl Gary stay safe friend👍👍👍👍
Thank you Radar I appreciate you watching.
Take care buddy!
Gary
Beautiful bowl. I will be watching for more. Thank you
Thank you very much Pete. I appreciate you a watching and look forward to you watching and commenting.
Gary
Gary, that is a beautiful piece of wood and excellent turned! Great looking bowl!
Thank you Chris, I have been looking forward to turning this piece. I could tell looking at one side of it that it had some real nice grain.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another crazy glue up sounds great but lets back to Your bowl for now, Gary. I suppose that wavy grain looks much better from close. Walnut always have hidden patterns. I love when the grain is making the best work, not a shape. Did Your friend gave You more pieces? Keep them coming, Brother 💪
Rav
Thank you Rav and the crazy glue up is in the sanding stage right now. Should get finish on it tomorrow.
Yes the grain looks fantastic in person for sure.
Well our friends gave me the whole tree when it had to be cut down. And I know the arborists who cut it down and I came over and he cut exactly where I wanted on all the pieces. He did that with our Siberian Elm I had trimmed as well.
Take care my brother from afar,
Gary
Love the grain in that walnut! Well done and thanks!
Thank you Mark and thanks for watching.
Take care,
Gary
One of my favourite woods Gary great turning and finish as are all your videos thanks for sharing 🪚🔨👍
Thank you Phillip. This has been a wonderful wood to turn.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice, Gary, I like walnut and the contrast between the dark and light wood. Got a piece of black walnut on the lathe right now in the process of being hollowed. Have a good day. Bill
Thanks so much Bill, I had access to a lot of English Walnut but yet have come across any Black Walnut. Both are very pretty wood.
Thanks for watching and have fun finishing the piece in your lathe.
Gary
Beautiful wood and a finish to bring out the spectacular grains. Beautiful!
Thanks so much Harry. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
Beautiful bowl and elegant Gary 👌
Thank you very much. Wow elegant! I appreciate that.
Take care,
Gary
Great job Gary. Nice shape & good job finishing it off.
Thank you very much Mark.
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful Bowl Gary, that English walnut is certainly beautiful wood with the contrasting colors ..........well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Glad you enjoyed it Al and thanks for watching.
Gary
I like all walnut black, English any kind of walnut they're all beautiful and simple I like or other stuff but they are way out of what I do. Really nice bowl.
Thank you Judith. For sure the all the Walnut species is very nice
Happy you liked this one.
Gary
Really pretty piece, 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Gao!
Beautiful bowl Gary, the grain and finish look brilliant, take care, John
Thanks so much John. I am always amazed of the beauty when I get a piece like this.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
I love English walnut
Thank you Bill, This tree has some beautiful grain in it. I know Black Walnut is probably the most favorite but I love the contrast that English Walnut can have.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That turned out really pretty, Gary!
Thanks Billy! Some fantastic grain and colors in this one.
Take care,
Gary
Excellent work Gary! Walnut is one of my favorite woods, because of all that beautiful grain. You really made this piece shine. I kept thinking "You're taking too much off! Stop before it gets too small!" But you really know how to make a beautiful piece beautiful-er. The simple projects are sometimes the best, because they just show off the wood so well. Thanks for a great video. See you next week!
Thank you Mark. Trust me I had to make myself cut some areas to get a decent shape. Such as the bottom but when I saw that ribbon move right upward and stay together I could take a big breath.
Gotta love the simple ones when the wood is Simply Beautiful!
Thanks for watching,
Gary
A really lovely bowl. You let the wood shine through, for sure! How come furniture salesmen can't indentify woods anymore? I was shopping for new bedroom furniture last week. Told the saleswoman that I wanted dark woods, like walnut and mahogany and she kept pushing barn wood on me! I doubt that I'll be shopping there again.
Thank you Kathleen. This piece of wood looked good before I even turned it. Hard to see on the camera but you could see but it sure showed up.
Sometimes when you go shopping in person it almost feels like you are shopping online and on your own to get questions answered.
Not like the old days when the sales staff really knew their product.
But there are still some good sales people around.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Great job on a classic simple bowl....
Thank you Dale, it was fun to do and the grain was a real reward.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I turn walnut a lot also. Normally I have the dark pith on the bottom and the light sap wood on top. This looks really good, I'm going to try it, thanks.
Thank you Tim. I studied the piece a lot to make sure I could see the heart wood the best. This also makes it look like the dark wood is flowing down the sides of the bowl.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Cracking finish Gary, made a good boy oft the crack, looks like i''ll have to keep an eye out for some walnut. All the best from Lincolnshire UK
Thanks so much Gary. Yes I think the crack really adds to the look.
Hard to go wrong with the Walnut.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another gorgeous piece Gary. Really love the river like patterning (as featured in the thumbnail). All the best. Ray
Thank you Ray!
Take care
Gary
Just simply beautiful. Keep'm coming
Thank you very much and I have another one almost ready.
Take care,
Gary
Love that black walnut
Thank you Joseph! Believe it or not this is English Walnut but it sure has the look of Black Walnut.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gorgeous work and beautiful grains finish Beautiful
Thanks so much Gaetan, happy you liked it.
Gary
Good job on the crack filling and on the bowl! Came out great!! 😎
Thank you Mark. The crack came out a lot better than I expected. Almost looks like it belongs there.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Well I must say that bowl looks super the grain just pops out , also you wanted shavings I see you got your wish well done
Thank you Robert, and as soon as I bagged them up I dumped them around the plants that my wife wanted them on.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That is a beautiful bowl 👍🏽.thank you for sharing Brother 🙏🏽
Thank you Habeeb and thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 it’s always good to watch your Videos it’s very informative Brother 👍🏽
There's just something about English walnut compared to the domestic brand. Color ? Grain ? Texture ? Probably 'cause it comes from far far away. (even tho it was growing out west.) Thanks for sharing ! -Mike
Yes it is pretty Mike. Most of the Walnut I see growing around here seems to be English. Who knows where Black Walnut got it's start.
I do know that at least in the walnut orchards they graft the English Walnut to a Black Walnut root system. My nephew's in-laws took down a huge English Walnut orchard and I went and got some of the wood a few years ago. I could have gotten many dump trucks full if I had wanted. This piece came from our friends tree and the wood is a lot nicer.
Take care,
Gary
The grain is gorgeous
Thank you Lyle. Yes it is a very pretty piece of wood.
Thanks for watching,

Outstanding, Gary!👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much J!

Beautiful Bowl Gary and that’s some very cool looking grain to! Nice job fixing that crack to, I just recently turned a bowl last weekend and has a crack running through it and I’m afraid to leave it in there and I think I’m gonna do the method ya did on that one, that worked out very nice, Hope ya have a great weekend Enjoyed the video 👍👍👍
Thank you Kimsey. For sure this has some really cool grain. I was concerned about how the crack would look when patched up but I really like it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Absolutely gorgeous, Gary!
Thank you very much Pauline. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
Greetings from Humboldt County Ca. Excellent piece. Nice change of pace, thanks for the effort it takes to put together the video’s, very much appreciated.
Thank you very much Bob. I love the area you live in. Years ago my sister lived above you in Crescent City and I remember visiting when I was a kid. So that was many years ago.
Yes it was a change of pace and it was fun. But working on something different again this week.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That is just a really nice looking piece of wood and the bowl turned out awesome.
Thank you Mark! I look forward to turning more of it.

Very very nice ! Love the grain. Beautiful!
Thank you Bob. A very special piece of wood for sure.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Well done. Very nice bowl. I acquired a bunch of walnut last fall and it has a lot of sapwood. Walnut is one of my favorites.
Thank you Greg! A few years ago my nephews in-laws took down a huge walnut orchard to grow something else.
It was English Walnut and almost all of the wood was sap wood. I think the size had a lot to do with it. Strange because they all are grafted onto Black Walnut root balls.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I love walnut. Thanks
Thank you for watching Herbie!
