Now it's a authenic piece of nature!!! Just the crack is phenomenal... I would seal it with a small application of clear epoxy resin... only brushed on!!! 👍👍
Beautiful Jim. I think the bark inclusion really makes it unique? Just picked up a branch and round from a neighbor’s tree. No idea what it was but it shed a lot of leaves and always came into my yard. I guess it is retribution for all the work it gave me? LOL
Thanks Alan! I feel you on the tree revenge. After I had to cut down all my diseased Ficus last year, my neighbor's mesquite dropped millions of tiny leaves in my pool. And I'm allergic to mesquite... I've been giving that tree the stink eye over the fence for months now!
@@FRBPturning On a side note that trees are dying? Three years ago when we started the excessive heat, my grapefruit tree dies. Now my orange tree is just about dead. Just two limb’s left standing. My lemon tree is not producing much good fruit? It will be gone by next year?
I had a blood orange tree die this summer from the heat. I'm super bummed about that one. I also had a huge multi-arm saguaro die a couple of summers ago when we had the extreme heat. I've seen tons of them down this year as well. So sad.
Thanks Jim! 3 turners I watch regularly do it (thepapa1947, Phil Anderson and Kent Weakley) it really saves a lot of time and leaves a better surface than chiseling on a workbench.
Very nice piece. You are right that the tenon removal method is not dangerous. It is very safe when you slow the lathe down as prescribed for that last nub removal. The bark inclusion is a beautiful character area. I was a bit worried that it might let go there at the end. I know you put glue in it, but an even better insurance would have been to wrap the outside with a band or 2 of strapping tape.
Thank you! I'm already working on material for the physics video. I'll probably make it even if people are not begging for it. As a teacher (and former engineer), it bothers me that there are no quality explanations or discussions of this topic, just "rules of thumb". These can be useful, but I find that knowing the "why" behind a rule makes it stick better. Stay tuned!
Thanks! I wish everyone said yes to physics. I think most people get traumatized by a bad physics teacher in high school so they avoid it later in life. I will try my best to make something helpful and not boring!
Hi, your channel is really amazing and this video is great :) We are a brand of power tool accessories and want to collaborate with you! How could we get in touch, if you are interested?
Thank you for watching! I looked at your catalog and I don't think your product line is something I would use in my normal projects. I appreciate the interest though!

👍👍
Thanks! I really love turning these "problem" pieces rather than sending them to the burn pile.
It looks great.
Thank you Mary!

Very nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
Bark inclusion! Very nice . There are several woodturners that use that type of nub removal.
Thanks Jim! 3 turners I watch regularly do it (thepapa1947, Phil Anderson and Kent Weakley) it really saves a lot of time and leaves a better surface than chiseling on a workbench.
Phil and Gary have been doing it that way for years. Good enough for me also.
I stole it from Phil and love it! Thanks for watching Bobby!
Very nice, a pretty bowl, I do not care about the math. Another great video.
Thanks David! I know you are not alone in not caring about the math, so no worries!

That's a good idea with the tape! I'm going to steal that for the next time. Thanks for watching!
Looks great and yes i would like to hear your opinion on the physics of your technique.

Yes to physics
Thanks! I wish everyone said yes to physics. I think most people get traumatized by a bad physics teacher in high school so they avoid it later in life. I will try my best to make something helpful and not boring!
Very nice! Is that shellac you're using for the finish?
Thank you! Yes, it's a shellac based sanding sealer. After a couple of coats I used abrasive paste and polished it up nice.
