Have always loved seeing Tommy and Kevin working together from the beginning since Kevin arrived 20 years ago. You can tell they're more than just co-workers, they're friends, by the way they're always teasing each other. They've been fun to watch.
My partner in life and business learned all the same old school carpentry lessons as Tommy. Watching Tom reminds me so much of him (he died in ‘21 from cancer). Watching Kevin do my job, which was assisting, brings me back. Seeing the glint in his eyes while he created wood treasures are memories I’ll have forever. This was an emotional one for me. Thanks
Osage Orange or as we call it here in Kansas, Hedge, becomes petrified as it dries. When cured, you won't drive in a nail without pre-drilling. Love segmented bowls. Cheers :)
I've always wondered how segmented bowls were made. FYI, my parents grew up in Kansas where the wood you were using is called "Osage orange", not orange Osage as you call it. Though mostly the farmers just call it "hedge" because it's an extremely durable wood they use for make fences (hedges)
Those trees are also in Ohio. I believe it is an invasive species that came over with European settlers. I also know it to be an extremely tough wood. I have heard it was planted to mark property boundaries, similar to fencing.
Tommy te bowl is beautiful. I have one concern, why didn't you wear a face shield. There are so many people who follow you and they may think the shield is unimportant.
I could watch these two all. day. long.
So genuine.
Tommy is an absolute master of all forms of wood working. Keep turning Tommy, great stuff!

Wow those are very nice.nice job calculating all those pieces to put together.
It is always a joy to watch a true craftsman. Thanks.
Wow! Just fascinating!
Love the turning! I started turning a few years ago and just as Tommy said it is for me to relax after working all day!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Tommy is an artist.
Wow. I didn’t realize it’s so much work!!!!
Spectacular... Tom Silva is truly one of a kind
Tom looks great.
Best comb-over in the businesses!

If Tommy's woodworking projects are still around in 100-200 years, they'll be worth Massive $$$
Very nice Tommy.
Just so you know, it's not orange osage...... it's Osage orange and is also known as hedge apple. We have them in Indiana. Love watching the show
Tommy is the man!
Calavera sure makes some nice leather. (Good bowl, too!)

Always called Osage orange like you mentioned
Bois d'Arc!!! Have it all over my area. Indians made bows out of it.
The GOAT, doing GOAT things. ✊️
My lathe is my happy place.
Tommy really grabbed this job by the bowls.
Tommy can do it all.
😂😂😂 Very nice 😂😂😂
Very nice
Can you tell us about Tommy s apron and where to get it?
Where did the bowl wind up? In Tommy's home, or Kevin's?
Wonder if Tom tried turning resin and wood to make bowl?
Isn’t orange osage just hedge? That’s what we call it around here and the fruits are hedge apples.
"I've never seen anything like this before."
So Kevin gets excited and enjoys bowls 🥴🤐
wow tommy wowo
Tommy Silva is a master at this stuff. But man lots of fingers near blades in this video. Makes me nervous

If you build an actual Wedgie Sled, your cuts will be even more accurate
Holly Cow ✝️🐄!!!!! I thought Tom was dead! Nice to see your still kicking it bro.
🍜🤗
I’ve never heard it called orange Osage. Only Osage orange.
wow 🤭
🤘🤘🤘
1:58 that portable table-saw sure struggled with that rip. I don’t recognize the brand.
14 hours times Tommy's hourly rate = !!!$&$!!! (One very expensive bowl)
My food eats salad
I'd find something else besides my fingers to pick up those cut pieces of wood. That's too close to the blade for me.
Yes. I thought that was horrible. I got the willies every time they did it.
I was thinking that too. I would've just used a stick to push them
