The Droop Less Mimosa Thing - Wood Turning
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2023
- I was going for a droop bowl but once the grain showed up on the turning I wanted to keep it so I had a little less droop top the top rim but still got some. All in all I am very happy with how it turned out.
Made from a very nice piece of Mimosa sent to me by my friend John.

Good evening, Gary.
You picked a really cool shape to use with that wood. Thanks for the turning tips and a great video. The piece is gorgeous.
Thanks so much Ray. I looked at the piece for quite awhile after getting it. I knew I wanted to get as much of the heart wood as I could The other piece will have to be flat grained bowl as it ended up with a big crack in it. But that is fine to.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
Now that’s lovely and different. And I like different. Keep up the good work Gary and thank you for sharing 🌞
Thank you very much Ray. Different it is. This Friday is going to be another flavor of soup to add to the pot.
Take care,
Gary
When I'm in my shop, I really have to watch out for "that" too. 😄
For sure there a re plenty of things to watch out for!
Love watching your skills Thanks again🤗
Thank you Neebin, happy you like watching.
Gary
Hello Gary je vois que tu as le sourire agréable c’est cool 👍 original le projet le bois est jolie aussi 👏bravo pour cette réalisation ☀️prend soin de toi 👋
Merci beaucoup Denis. C'était un projet amusant et j'aime l'apparence du bois.
Merci pour vos commentaires et merci d'avoir regardé.
Prends soin de toi,
Gary
A beautiful piece. Love the drooping side with the bark.
Thank you Earl.. happy you liked it.
Gary
That is so pretty! The shape is very nice, but I agree the wood is beautiful
Thank you Lynda. Happy you liked it as we sure do.
Take care,
Gary
I've never seen Mimosa before, but it sure is beautiful. I love the grain and the droop!
Thank you Carol. There is a bit of Mimosa here in Oregon. But this piece came from Texas.
Looks the same as what we have.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very pretty bowl, love the colors and tell that young lady I said hello.
Thank you Ronnie. It was a pretty piece of wood.
She is sitting right next to me and I told her you said high. She laughed knowing why...it was fun.
Take care,
Gary
That is a pretty cool piece of wood. Very nice droop bowl Gary.
Thanks so much Laura!
Take care,
Gary
Very nice, Gary. Creative use of a nice piece of wood. Looks like it could fit well in a Tolkien tale!
Thank you very much. Yes probably rustic enough to fit well.
I knew you could drink it but I didn't know you could turn it! Now you have a nice container, stick a straw in there and it should last you most of the day! Wow, I could tell that end grain was giving you a run for your money! I saw the gouge just slide across as you were making the tenon. Tough stuff! But, you persevered and came up with another beauty! The finish looks great, too! Nice job, my friend, keep'em coming! 😊
Phil
Thank you Phil and for sure that end grain was a bear! My shoulder was not very happy with me but it is fine now. The PT is helping a lot.
I think a drink my leak out the end grain on the bottom so I would have to drink it real fast LOL.
Take care my friend,
Gary
Gorgeous Gary and a great fix on the missing bark.
Take care my friend.
Hwyl, Huw
Thanks so much Huw, I was able to find a big piece of the bark and had to cut some other pieces to fill in the bald spots.
Thanks for watching.
Hwyl,
Gary
Looks like you turned a giant acorn, really cool.
Thank you John. Yes it does look a bit like an Acron.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Cute little bowl. Mimosa has a good grain pattern. Thanks
Thank you very much Garth. I was cleaning out my back room in the shop today where I keep some wood. I did find a number pieces of Mimosa that I got 4 or 5 years ago. Pretty small branches but I have an idea I might try.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That's beautiful wood, Gary, and you brought out the best of it
Thanks Josh. I appreciate your comments.
Take care,
Gary
Pretty work again. I have some Mimosas growing on my property. They usually only last about 25 years before they die out here. I turned a gavel for my Daughter out of Mimosa. Pretty grain and a hard wood. Enjoy your videos. George
Thank you very much George. The only other I have turned was from a tree that had been cut down near me.
By the time I was able to get any the only thing left was what they were going to toss. Their neighbor had taken it all.
They turned into beautiful turnings.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary!
You did it again!!
Well done sir
What a gorgeous piece of wood!
Thanks Luie. Gotta love all the wonderful woods we have to work with. A real blessing.
@@ThePapa1947 truly each piece is a present for us to unwrap
That's a beautiful piece Gary 👍
Thank you Terry I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
The shape is really unusual and the wood is interesting Nice turn and loved the part of the video where you just cracked your self up.
Thank you John. It is an interesting wood for sure.
It was funny as she did that one other time and I had just told her I will leave it in if I get a chance. The more I realized I had caught it I just could not stop laughing.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, I loved the way you described that turning. But you know what it turned out fantastic mate well done
Thank you very much Alan.
Cheers my friend,
Gary
I have never turned mimosa but that does look a spectacular piece of wood, and you have managed a fantastic finish to it
Thank you very much and thanks for watching,
Gary
It’s a beauty Gary, nice work! 👏👏
Many thanks Paully! I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
Very beautiful bowl. I love it. ~Kevin
Thank you very much Kevin. I appreciate you watching commenting.
Take care,
Gary
Very pretty piece Gary. Your video was very enjoyable also. Thank you for sharing. I hope I see you on the next one
Thank you very much Albert. I appreciate your comments.
Gary
Like the shape of this one Gary. I myself have turned Mimosas. It does have very nice contrast. Thanks for sharing 👍.
Thank you Scott. It is a very interesting wood for sure. I think the next piece I do will not be an end grain turning though.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another stunning piece of art.
Thanks so much Bob I appreciate you watching,
Gary
Love the wood and the shape. Beautiful.
Thanks so much grambear8 I appreciate you watching.
Take care,
Gary
Hello back!!! Gotta love live video..😂 The bowl looks great Gary. Nicely done and as always thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Mark. She never knows if I am talking to the camera, myself or her when walks by me. It as a real gas and I told her I was leaving it in...we just laughed about it an hour ago after reading another comment.
Happy you liked the bowl and thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice result and very informative. It is interesting hearing methods for turning end grain. Once again thankyou for sharing with us Gary. Cheers Deno
Thank you Deno. End grain can be very difficult at times. Understanding the fibers in the wood helps a lot.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
A good looking piece Gary Thanks for sharing .
Thank you Dave. I appreciate you watching.
Take care,
Gary
Interesting design, beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Brenda I appreciate you watching and commenting.

There's no end to your imagination Gary , a beautiful piece with a stunning grain
Thanks so much Ian I appreciate you comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice piece Gary, really like the shape!!
Thank you Tom. It was a lot of fun to turn and for sure a pretty piece of wood.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.
💚👽
Thank you for watching!
Gary
That's another beauty, looked hard going at times, but a grand finish as always. You do have some great wood over the pond. All the best from Lincolnshire UK
Thank you Gary. for sure we have a good selection. This piece flew in from Texas but a few years ago I got some real nice Mimosa from just a few miles from me here in Oregon.
Take care my friend,
Gary
You really surprised me with that one. I was thinking that this was a lost cause up until the end. That IS beautiful piece of wiid.
Thank you very much Tim. Happy you liked it.
Take care,
Gary
Thank You Gary... I had to stop your show & lookup/learn about the Mimosa tree. Very nice grain structure and the white sapwood reminds me of rubber tree wood from the furniture at Cost Plus Imports. I like the tapered top & shape of your turning this morning. Looks like that Sanding Sealer really sucked into that grain after turning the top. Gary a hardwood but not too hard for enjoyment of turning? Very nice looking turning this morning, Gary. I enjoyed very much the style you chose. Until next time, I look forward to your next show.... TM
Thank you very much TM. I really like the look of Mimosa.
Furniture out of rubber trees. Now that is a shock to me. In Vietnam one of the areas were we did patrols was the Michelin rubber planation. They all had pots attached where the rubber dripped down a spiral grove carved into the trees. Very messy looking. Not a real fun place to be. Now I need to check into the rubber furniture trees.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Never seem a Droop bowl before,like it!
I was hoping for more but I made a design change base on the grain I was seeing. I have made 2 from Black Locust that had lots of droop to them.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very 👍
That turned out quite nice.
Thank you Jake and thanks for watching and commenting
Gary
Really nice piece lovely grain pattern
Many thanks Colin!
Another cute one.
Thank you Khan I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
Good job thank you for sharing. 👍🌞🐝
Thank you Jim, I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
I still wish I could send you some mimosa. I have several huge trees that blew down in a storm. The piece is beautiful, good job 👍
Thank you James and you are welcome to send some if you would like. You can find my email in my About Page and we can discuss it. Assuming you live in the states.
The wood is spectacular and so is your work, but I need some time for the shape to grow on me. ❤
Thank you Beverly. I understand what you mean by the shape. It is a bit different for sure.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
A good looking piece. I have found that Mimosa is a pleasure to turn and the color and grain patterns are very attractive. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thank you Doug. Happy you like Mimosa as well. Some people think it is an ugly wood. Not me.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That turned very nice Gary! Beautiful wood!
Thank you kindly David. Happy you liked it.
Take care,
Gary
I absolutely love this design. It looks like a squatty mushroom. 🍄
You just don't see a design like this. And that's why I like it so much. Very original work. Just a beautiful piece. 👍
Thank you very much Les. Happy you like the shape. The wood grain played a big part in it. I like to watch the grain and the contrast and I I see something I really like I may make a change to my original thought.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice piece like the colours. 😁
Thank you Lewis I appreciate you watching and commenting,
Gary
This is motivating me to visit my little lathe. I will have to find a little easier piece of wood 😂. I must say it seems not rude but close to include the laughter without clueing us in… but I forgive you and Lord willing I be here next week eagerly watching. Thanks
Thank you very much Barry. I bet your lathe misses you.
I thought everyone could hear when my wife walked by I said Hi there...she said Hi Babe. She did not no the camera was on and it got me laughing knowing I was going to leave it in. Maybe I will make a short of that section...thanks for the idea and stay tuned.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Papa,
Beautiful! I very much enjoy watching your videos. They certainly are a wonderful relaxing afternoon interlude. (Not that I need any more relaxation; morning, noon or evening 🦥.).
Keep the aspidistra flying!
God bless,
Paul
Thank you very much Paul. Relaxing is a good thing...morning noon and night. I have lots of practice at it.
God bless my friend,
Gary
Outstanding, Gary! I am glad you could work your wood turing magic on that piece of mimosa. I still have some of it in the wood pile outside.
I enjoyed watching you turn the wood as I watch a crew of young fellows cleaning out the house I just sold. I ironically, this is the second video of yours that will be viewed in two different towns in two different states; just like your last video when I viewed it from Detroit Wayne County Intl Airport and Chicago Midway.
Thank you John. Mimosa is a pretty cool wood so I wanted to get at least 2 turnings out of it. Looks like I might get 3.
Thanks again for the this really cool piece.
Gary
I really like the way it turned out. Kind of a mushroom shape.
Thank you Debra. For sure it has a mushroom shape. Happy you liked it and thanks for watching.
Gary
Shades of Al Furtado! Looks great, almost mushroomy. I have a catalpa bowl blank waiting for my attention someday. Might even be dry now.
Some one else just said that Valerie.
I made my first droop bowl when a viewer told me the Black Locust I had would make a nice droop bowl.
I think he had a lesson on a droop bowl with Al back then and showed me the picture of the one he made.
Here is what I made over 4 years ago and just got around to doing another one.
ruclips.net/video/X-RtkCnt6OU/видео.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 My camera was not very good back then but the bowl turned out nice.
@@ThePapa1947 Watched and commented. Don’t know how I missed this one!
Loved watching this Gary, thanks for sharing! My kiddos are in to the super mario bros and would think is looks like a toad stool mushroom 🍄 power up in the game. I on the other hand think it would make a great flower pot maybe for the garden. Great job!
Thank you Shannon. I am sure lots of people see that toad stool as well.
It would also look great as flower pot. Maybe with nice liner that might happen.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Who knew Mimosa was so beautiful . I love the design and it has lots of character . Another fine piece Gary . Thanks for sharing .
Thank you Jon. Seems to be a wood not turned all that much. It would be nice to get a nice size piece for a side grain bowl.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice, I've turned a couple of small pieces of Mimosa and it is very pretty but I found the wood to be very fibrous and a mask is absolutely neccessary.
Thank you very much Steve. Yes it is very pretty for sure.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very interesting shape and the finished looks awesome as usual 😊
Thank you very much!
Take care,
Gary
Very nice Gary!!!:):)
All the best
Yiannis
Thank you my friend!
Gary
I’ve always thought mimosa trees are beautiful & now I know the wood is too. Turned out really pretty I like the way down the rim.
Thank you very much Lynda. It is a very pretty wood for sure. And the bark is nice and I liked keeping the natural shape of it drooping down.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very pretty. Thank you.
Thanks so much Herbie and thanks for watching,
Gary
Interesting design, I have turned many bowls but never thought of that design. Hope you won't mind my making a few like that..
Thank you Larry and by all means make some of them. Would love to see how they turn out.
Take care,
Gary
I've seen Mimosa trees before but never have seen Mimosa wood turned. Sharp tools seem to be the key, along with the direction of the cuts. Great job on a difficult turn, as if you would do anything other than a great job.
Thank you Gil. I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
What an amazing piece. Awesome colours and grain. 👏👏👏
Thank you very much Steve I appreciate you watching.
Gary
Wow! That is stunning! Another very lovely bowl, Gary. Loved it when you got tickled when company walked into the shop.
Thank you very much Jane. I told my wife that one of these days I will catch her saying something while the camera was on. I may set her up when I said "Hi there" Did not expect her to say "Hi Babe" LOL It was a lot of fun.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Great job ❤
Thank you! 😄
Love the shape of this bowl. I would like to try it soon.
Thank you Chris. I would suggest having more taper on the bowl shape than I did on this one. Will make it much easier to create the drop.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That is a beautiful design for a bowl and the wood has amazing grain and color. I never heard of a droop bowl before and I really like the look. Thanks for sharing it with us Gary.
Thank you very much Kent. I appreciate your watching and commenting.
Take care,
Gary
That's really nice. I find end grain is very hard to get a good cut hollowing. It is. Ot as satisfying. Looks good!
Thank you very much Chris. Yes it can be a real bear getting the inside as nice as the outside.
Happy you liked it.
Gary
nice color l like this bowl
Thank you Delbert, I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
Lovely bowl.
Thank you Audrey I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
It's been a while since I got a chance to turn something end grained. Personally I'm not very good at it. The last one I did was Black Walnut and now you have given me an urge to go look at my woodpile. Happy turning Gary 😊
Thank you Edward. We all no it takes more time so we just need to take more time and we get through it.
I know half way through I had to stop and wonder why I was doing it 😭. It all worked out.
Have fun and thanks for watching.
Gary
Lovely item. Mimosa is great. Rare here in N. Tx but I scored some last year
Thank you very much I appreciate your watching and commenting.
This piece actually came to me from East Texas. We do have a bit of it in Oregon though.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I really like this piece. Mimosa has gotten into my top 5. Love the dark heart wood and all the rich colors that are there. Well done my friend.
Thank you very much Doug. Mimosa is really nice but I do not come across all that much.
Let me guess what the other 4 are. Black Walnut, English Walnut, Brazilian Walnut or any Walnut LOL
Just kidding my friend and thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful
Thank you very much Randy I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
You have truly brought out the beauty in this wood! I love the different colors and the finish brings out that gorgeous dark color. The shape is so cute too. I have to say, as beautiful as this wood is, I believe I would have taken off the bark and exposed the white-bone like color of the wood underneath.
Fantastic work on this bowl! Bravo!
Thank you Mary. I think that would have been a nice affect having the white color show up as well. Great idea!
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice Gary, appreciate your showing a piece a bit more challenging and how you approached it. Thank you, Ian
Thank you very much Ian I appreciate you watching.
Gary
Beautiful work. I had never heard of a droopy bowl before. It reminds me of a big mushroom. I'm always learning something new from you. Thanks.
Thank you Dick. The ones I have turned before have twice the amount of droop. But under the droop the shape needs to taper down more. I really like the way the wood looked so I just gave it less droop.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
A lovely bowl. Can't say I've ever heard of a droop bowl but it came out very nice and I love the grain too. 🙃❤
Thank you Marge. I have done 2 other droop bowls out of Black Locust. They had much more droop to them.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful bowl Gary.
Thank you Jack, I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
It's beautiful! Mimosa has such an interesting pattern.
Thank you very much Amy. I do love Mimosa. The little I have turned just makes me want to find more.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I really like the shape of that bowl, Gary. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like that. I have never turned it myself, but mimosa is obviously, a very pretty wood! Great video, my friend.
Take care,
…..Gord
Thank you Gord. The trees can really spread out are are attractive looking.
When one has to come down it does provide some very pretty wood for us to make things out of.
Thanks buddy for watching,
Gary
Really nice, Gary. Good looking wood, too. Droopy bowls are always fun to see.
Bill
Thank you Bill. This is just another case where after seeing the shape and the grain I made a change. But I still got a wee bit of droop.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
l love how it turned out!
Thank you very much grammybear!
Mimosa is so beautiful thank you Gary 👍👍👍👍
Yes is sure is radar and thanks for watching,
Gary
looking very nice Gary,liking the idea of droop, going to try it
Thank you Fran. They are fun to do look pretty cool.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, I haven’t seen Mimosa wood before. It sure is pretty. Good recovery on the bark. I assume it was dry…doing end grain looks like a chore. Final piece looks great👍
Thank you Skip. Yes it was very dry and yes this end grain was really a chore to turn. But worth it in the end.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
In eastern Kentucky, where I was raised, mimosa was everywhere. We tried to get rid of them on our property but as long as there was one in the neighbor, everybody had them, they spread with the wind.. Now I would like to have some to turn. Good looking bowl Gary. Have a good day. Bill
Thank you Bill. I do not see all that much but our son has a good sized one on his property. A branch broke off but it was a bit punky or I would have taken it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That is a beauty and the color is awesome, the inside almost looks like you went at it with a torch, well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thank you very much Al. The inside is dark for sure but no torch.
Have not gone off that deep end LOL.
Take care,
Gary
Great piece, Gary. Don't think I've heard of or seen a droop bowl before. Interesting design. Good choice for a finish. Looks great.
Thank you very much Tom. I have done 2 others and they were out of Black Locust. Wow that was hard wood.
I did a video on one and after our friend saw the bowl I surprised her with one about like it.
The video was done with a not so good camera and my editing was in its begining stage.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I love the look of this piece. I can't wait to try something like this. You're an inspiration to this new turner.
Thanks so much Bren. I hope you enjoy and have as much fun as I do wood turning.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That is a beautiful piece of wood Gary. Really like the shape you chose, the bottom curves are really nice.
Thank you Mark I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
Thought you might have gone to the dark side there for awhile as you were hollowing. Nice result
Sorry Mike..sometimes you just need to step over the line into that dark side to get it done LOL
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice! I love turning mimosa it’s so beautiful
Thank you Madonna!
Take care,
Gary
Interesting. Never heard of a droop bowl. I'm going to try it. By the way, I noticed you have Laguna lathe. My 1 year old Laguna 1836 developed a crack in the headstock casting. Laguna agreed to replace it.
Hi Tim, sorry to hear about the crack in your headstock. Must have been a bad casting. A casting can develop internal cracks while cooling if not not properly. A lot of foundries will Xray the castings to check but I am thinking not so much on the way these are pumped out.
Happy you like the droop bowl and have fun giving it a try.
Gary
Love it, amazing 👏 😍
Thank you! 😊
Very nice
Thank you Walt and thanks for watching,
Gary
As a beginner I'm always wondering why I'm taking so long to do the simplest of things, then I realise it's because it takes time ... the biggest mistake is watching a professional thinking that they are powering through the wood, but they're not ... I know they're faster than me, but I'll get the speed eventually 👍
With regards this piece, the wood is amazing and the overall shape is yummy (if that makes sense) 👍
Was the Siberian Elm quaking when you started looking at it 🤣
Thank you Barry. For sure it does take time and in order to do a video at a length were it stays interesting I am sure we all have to speed things up a little.
I look at it the same as when I use to do a lot of dirt bike riding and climbing hills. There were guys that would speed up the hill as fast as they could. I myself would take my time and enjoy the experience.
To me making a nice smooth cut is enjoyable. Not only that it is the best way to get a smooth cut.
The Siberian Elm used to try to hide every time I went out back. We have developed a good trust now.
It knows I will not cut it down as long as it promises not to drop big branches on our roof LOL
Take care,
Gary
Reminds me of the droop over bowls Al Furtado @TheRebelTurner used to make.
Hi Stuart. I made my first droop bowl when a viewer told me the Black Locust I had would make a nice droop bowl.
I think he had a lesson on a droop bowl with Al back then and showed me the picture of the one he made.
Here is what I made over 4 years ago and just got around to doing another one.
ruclips.net/video/X-RtkCnt6OU/видео.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947 My camera was not very good back then but the bowl turned out nice.
That came out really nice, Gary! Very pretty! But Mimosa scares me... I'm dreadfully allergic to the pollen so I can only imagine!
Thank you Billy. I wonder if it is just the pollen as I was not bothered with the wood. Other than that darn end grain was sure hard LOL
@@ThePapa1947 I don't know, Gary. But I'm not sure I would want to risk it.
@@TheMessyStudio I do not blame you.
I do not mess with resin because I used it a lot at work.
May have had something to do with my loss of smell in 2006. I do not want to take the chance.
Resins are very toxic.
