Wow! Love that grain so much! My PawPaw had a black walnut that was blown down by a hurricane but still alive. We had such fun playing in that tree and its exposed roots, completely unaware what greater miracle lay within.
Thank you Cecilia. This piece came from a huge tree out in the country about 30 miles from me. The tree still stands and is amazing. This was just a limb that needed to be trimmed. Thanks for watching, Gary
Wow Gray I can see a surfer ridding his board with his both hands up, inside the bowl with the large sap wood at the top. What a bloody Butey and to see those ribbons just flying out that bowl gotta love that.👍👍👍.Ernie smith from brisbane Australia
Thank you very much Ernie...funny you should mention a surfer. I was just listening to the song Pipeline on RUclips. That was the very first song I wanted to learn back in 1963. My friend and I took guitar lessons and the music teacher said we needed to learn Yankee Doddle first. I still love surf music and will probably grab a guitar and play Pipeline after I finish typing LOL Thanks for watching, Gary
Living in the US midwest my neighbors have black walnut trees. You cuss them when you roll an ankle on those walnuts that fall. But thank them for the branches that fall. Great turning for the contrasting colors and chatoyance. Even turning small trees and mushrooms from the smaller limbs. I have yet to make wood stain from the walnut husks I have to pick up before we mow… great job, that bowl turned beautifully
Thank you Matthew. This piece came from a limb on one of the biggest Black Walnut trees I have seen. I am sure I will be told if they cut another limb down. Thanks for watching, Gary
Hey Ray! Yes it was hard to hide the fact this would be a very pretty bowl just looking at the blank. And the other half looks the same. The BBQ was really nice and cooking out in the snow was pretty cool as well. Take care my friend, Gary
Hi Gary... Definitely not 1st ... boooooom.. Haha.. What an absolutely stunning piece of wood... Nature can be so beautiful... You did the piece great justice with the simple but elegant shape... Entertaining video as always... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Thank you Andy. I am afraid if you want to beat Huw it will take extra alarm clock. But you are in the afternoon time when I get up. Don't tell Huw but I bet he sets his alarm clock to wake up from his afternoon nap LOL Just kidding just because I do does not mean everyone does! Take care, Gary
Five thumbs up from this end of the inner web, Gary. 👍👍👍👍👍 The chatoyance is great. I can only dream of getting wood that nice down in East Texas. All we have growing here is oak, sweet gum, bodark, some mimosa, cherry, crepe myrtle, birch, some maple, cedar. There maybe some walnut around, but I have not found it yet.
Thank you John. It is amazing how much different trees we have growing all around the country. Sure saw a lot on our trip across the states back in 2016. I think Mimosa is one of the most beautiful woods I have seen. I was looking to get some left overs a few years ago. It was on Craigslist and I saw it real late. Someone had taken it all except the stuff that looked bad. As it turned out I got some great looking turnings from them. Thanks for watching, Gary
Hi Gary, That is one of the most beautiful pieces of Black walnut I have ever seen as well. Gorgeous bowl and I'm sure your friend will love it. Take care my friend. Hwyl, Huw
Thank you Garry. Yes I just got through sanding a piece in the lathe and looked it over an saw one spot I did not like so did it again starting at 220. Looks great now and another beautiful piece of nature. Won't see it for 2 weeks or so. Take care, Gary
Thank you very much Eric. For sure Black Walnut is very special. This piece came off the biggest Black Walnut tree I have seen. My nephews in laws have a farm not that from me and they had the limb trimmed. I got pretty lucky whey they offered it to me. Thanks for watching, Gary
The prettiest Walnut bowl I have seen in a long time, Gary. You did a fantastic job on it, my friend. I love the chatoyance that showed up in that bowl. Great job as always. Thanks for sharing! Take care, …..Gord
Thanks so much Gord. When we are given such beautiful wood it is hard to go wrong. Sitting in front of me right now. I wish everyone could pick it up and watch that grain light up as you move it slowly from side to side. Dang it is so cool! Thanks for watching, Gary
While watching this video, I was trying to decide which type of wood I like best. I am still trying to decide. Haha. Black walnut is just amazing. I have one black walnut tree in my yard. The yellow wood from my agarita made great headlights on a little car I made for the granddaughters. You know how it goes. Wood is just awesome. I made a walking stick for my sister out of crepe myrtle. I was absolutely shocked at the beauty. As for your bowl, it is beautiful. Your friends will love it. Great job as usual. Thanks for sharing your work.
Thank you Travis. Sounds like you have some nice trees. We have a lot of trees as well. I have gotten wood from our Siberian Elm when we have it trimmed. It has a lot of burls on it as well. We had to Leland Cypress taken down but the wood is not all that special. And had an Oak tree taken down around 12 years ago. Have fun turning! Take care, Gary
Thank you Rob. I sort of expect you guys to get it. But for us here in NW part of Oregon we just do not get all that much. Which is ok with me. We have mountains real close of one wants to go play in the snow. Thanks for watching, Gary
Wow ! What an awesome bowl Gary ! I just love the contrast between the sap wood and the heart ! Great job and video ! The smoked Pork roast sounds wonderful .
Thank you Jon. I guess that was not fair talking about the smoked pork but is sure came out good. A 2 day thing for me, First day brine it in apple cider and some seasoning's. Next day coat it with my home made rub. Thanks for watching, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Oh my gosh that sounds yummy ! We smoke about 3/4 of our meals . Have you ever tried marinating in Zesty Italian dressing ? Oh boy ! First time I had was with squirrel ! Yum ! We use on chicken and pork roasts . Happy turning ! Been too cold down .
That is most definitely a beauty. A stunning bowl, well done. I know what you mean about being cold in the shop. I can only work is short bursts before going inside to warm up, ha. Hope you're right about warmer weather coming. Unfortunately, it's snowing right now, very lightly but still. I'm sure it's warmer by you and I'm jealous.
I used to go steelhead fishing when the weather was close to freezing. Even the fish do not like cold weather. I only go when it is nice now. I have two electric heaters that keep me warm but try not to run them when talking on the video. Really noisy at times. Thanks for watching, Gary
Black Walnut has so many hidden jewels. The shine that come off of the center of your bowl is amazing! I love the 2 different colors in this wood, it adds a lot of class to the piece. Fantastic job!! Bravo!
Thank you very much Karen. As it turns out I gave them a different one. My wife really like this one. The one I gave them was very special and they loved it.
I am sure that I am the only one that was thinking of holstiens as I watched the contrast of heart and sap wood developing 😅. …Sorry. Thank you for another enjoyable video. Since I don’t control the kitchen at my place there’s no telling how long it will take to satisfy this sudden desire for pork roast…😂 thank you very much.🤨
Thanks so much Barry. I am surprised my wife did not think the same thing. She grew up on a farm and they had a few cows. We try to share the cooking here and there are a couple things only I make. Such as smoked pork and turkey. Well everything else on the BBQ as well. But I make a soup about 5 times a year that is my specialty as well. To me cooking is like building something. Thanks for watching, Gary
Really stunning papa nice job really love the grain almost makes you want to make a platter instead of a bowl so you can keep as much of it as you can Blessings
Beautiful bowl! I watched this after posting my “Wonderful Walnut” video on Wood and Bone. Had to laugh when you said you were stopping to make dry rub. I was smoking venison sausage during mine!😂 Love all your videos, hope to be as good some day.
Thank you very much Susanne. I gave it to a friend who also knows the people whose tree this came from. Makes it extra special. Thanks for watching, Gary
Yep, beautiful grain on that walnut! Looks like it was a pretty sweet turn. Warmer? You are kidding right? Not in the next 7 days! At least the pork should have made that snowfall more tolerable!
Thanks Valerie and warmer was it almost reached 34 degrees. Still cold and going to be that way for awhile they say. Yes it turned like butter and was lots of fun. The pork turned out wonderful and lasted us for a lot of meals. The last of it made pulled pork burritos which was very good.
Thank you Chris. Now you have me humming the tune to that old TV show Rawhide. Oh wait that might be before your time . I almost forgot I am an OLD guy LOL
Thanks so much Tom. The wood is simply amazing. And I have more. I do not want to use it all up but I will be turning more soon. Thanks for watching, Gary
Great looking bowl Gary. The 22nd was a special day for my wife and I as that is when we became grandparents for the first time. athe grain is absolutely beautiful and youy did a top job of it as you always do. As always thanks for sharing, Cheers Bruce
Thank you very much Bruce and congratulations. The 22nd will always be a great day for you. I heard a joke many years ago using 22 as the theme. Very corny but the owner of the shop I worked at heard it when he was much younger. He would say 22 anytime it fit. Like a dimension on the drawing might be 22 and it became a big deal. Our grown kids say it now as they heard the joke from me so many times. Brings back some good memories. By the way it is a joke that can be told to all ages LOL Thanks for watching, Gary
Thanks so much Luie. When I cut the piece in half it was pretty exciting. Sure was surised to say the least. But that is what is so darn fun. The mystery and the surprise we can find inside. Thanks for watching, Gary
Very nice piece of Black Walnut my friend. Now that I'm almost done with my first lidded Vase or urn out of Cherry Burl. I'm going to have to dig up another piece of my Black Walnut. I've been doing a lot of work with Butternut lately and had to challenge myself this week. Happy turning and I'm glad to hear you were mentioning Phil. Love to keep up with both of you guys☺️
Thank you very much. Yes we got a lot of snow and figured it was all gone. Today in March 9 and it snowed yesterday but did not stick. Thanks for watching, Gary
Thanks so much. No I just have not been able to get out. Well I guess I could but so many other things going on. Right about now is a good time to fish for springers in the Willamette. Got rid of my cuddy cabin boat but still have the drift boat. I fish for the springers near the Sellwood bridge in the drift boat and done well though. Take care, Gary
Thanks so much Doug. I think even with dirty glasses and face shield it would have ended up great. But I do appreciate your comment...thank you very much. Take care, Gary
Thanks so much Grant. I may have made a mistake showing it to my wife LOL. Not really a few weeks ago we gave another couple a very nice turning and she said it was ok for me to give it away. Not easy when she loves all the ones I make. Take care, Gary
OH Man! Gary. That grain is absolutely fabulous! That almost white wood contrast with that rich brown grain is just incredible! That turning was a joy to watch. Glad to know I'm not the only one that puts woodworking on hold to go cook - I just slow roasted two brined turkey breasts after brining. One was peppered and the other was Cajun. Hope your smoked shoulder came out great.
Thank you very much Qapla. For sure it is very pretty wood. The pork shoulder came out great. I brined it in apple cider and other spices for almost 24 hours. Then made a nice dry rub for it. I smoke turkeys' as well. I usually spactchcock it. And have put it in brine for 48 hours before. That turns out great. I like cooking but not as much as wood turning LOL. Pretty close though Take care, Gary
I enjoyed watching and listing to your comments that you were making. Thanks for sharing.....excellent finished product. Questions; do you sell you finished project, if so where
Thank you very much John. Sorry I do not sell what I make. Just making these videos takes a bit of time and selling would just add a lot to that. I have a large collection of my turnings but they do become gifts now and then. Thank you for watching and your interest. Gary
That is a beautiful bowl! The grain reminds me of a cowhide pattern. Blessing your friends with this treasure is so thoughtful of you. Thanks Gary for the video 😊
Thank you very much Karen. I have been trying to surpise people now and then with a bowl. Kind of running out of room for them LOL Thanks for watching, Gary
Hi Gary, how are you I hope you are alright, I have just watched your new video, I think the bowl is lovely, I hope to see a lot more of your videos soon, take care and stay safe x
Thank you Billy. The other half will be one. Pretty sure live edge is not there favorite so I went with this. I will see how it works out on the other half. It is pretty rugged looking bark and pretty think. We shall see! Thanks for watching, Gary

The joy of turning for me is revealing what God has put in trees for us to find. You have found a beautiful creation.
I agree 100 percent. The best creator of all.
Good evening, Gary.
When I saw the blank at the beginning, I knew you had a winner. Sure enough. BBQ sounds good about anytime. Gorgeous bowl.
Hey Ray!
Yes it was hard to hide the fact this would be a very pretty bowl just looking at the blank. And the other half looks the same.
The BBQ was really nice and cooking out in the snow was pretty cool as well.

@@ThePapa1947 Good. Hope you stay safe. thanks for the comment. Look forward to seeing your next video.
Beautiful job Gary. Thank for sharing. Been doing any fishing ? Should be prime Steelhead time. 😁👍🏻
Thanks so much. No I just have not been able to get out. Well I guess I could but so many other things going on.
Right about now is a good time to fish for springers in the Willamette. Got rid of my cuddy cabin boat but still have the drift boat.
I fish for the springers near the Sellwood bridge in the drift boat and done well though.
Take care,
Gary
Another beautiful piece. You have a eye for bringing out the best in a piece of wood. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Doug. I think even with dirty glasses and face shield it would have ended up great. But I do appreciate your comment...thank you very much.
Take care,
Gary
Wow! Lovely! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you and thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, you are so right about that piece. I think I'd call that a walnut turners dream. Your friends are so lucky to get that beauty!
Thanks so much Grant. I may have made a mistake showing it to my wife LOL. Not really a few weeks ago we gave another couple a very nice turning and she said it was ok for me to give it away.
Not easy when she loves all the ones I make.
Take care,
Gary
Salut Gary du très bon travail et le bois est superbe bravo 👍👏👋
Très apprécié Denis et merci d'avoir regardé.
Gary
One of the most beautiful pieces of wood I have ever seen. You have a lucky friend who will receive this piece of art. Color contrast, WOW. Thanks
Thank you Donald happy you liked it and thanks for watching.
Gary
OH Man! Gary. That grain is absolutely fabulous! That almost white wood contrast with that rich brown grain is just incredible! That turning was a joy to watch.
Glad to know I'm not the only one that puts woodworking on hold to go cook - I just slow roasted two brined turkey breasts after brining. One was peppered and the other was Cajun. Hope your smoked shoulder came out great.
Thank you very much Qapla. For sure it is very pretty wood.
The pork shoulder came out great. I brined it in apple cider and other spices for almost 24 hours. Then made a nice dry rub for it.
I smoke turkeys' as well. I usually spactchcock it. And have put it in brine for 48 hours before. That turns out great.
I like cooking but not as much as wood turning LOL. Pretty close though
Take care,
Gary

Beautiful, love the colors.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
I enjoyed watching and listing to your comments that you were making. Thanks for sharing.....excellent finished product. Questions; do you sell you finished project, if so where
Thank you very much John. Sorry I do not sell what I make. Just making these videos takes a bit of time and selling would just add a lot to that. I have a large collection of my turnings but they do become gifts now and then.
Thank you for watching and your interest.
Gary
That is a beautiful bowl! The grain reminds me of a cowhide pattern. Blessing your friends with this treasure is so thoughtful of you. Thanks Gary for the video 😊
Thank you very much Karen. I have been trying to surpise people now and then with a bowl. Kind of running out of room for them LOL
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I sent my comment before noticing that you saw what I saw! Thank you for mentioning it
Beautiful, I would like to see you have a go at Australian red gum, very tough but well worth the effort,cheers
Thank you John, not sure if I could find any around here but it sounds interesting.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Hi Gary, how are you I hope you are alright, I have just watched your new video, I think the bowl is lovely, I hope to see a lot more of your videos soon, take care and stay safe x
Thanks so much Sue and I am working on 3 others right now.
Take care,
Gary
Looks great. Phil will tell you you did it upside down.
Thank you David. And I as tempted to do it that way but the people who will get it may not feel the same. Hard to believe but some do not like bark.
What a beautiful bowl, Gary! That walnut would have made a gorgeous live edge bowl as well.
Thank you Billy. The other half will be one. Pretty sure live edge is not there favorite so I went with this. I will see how it works out on the other half. It is pretty rugged looking bark and pretty think. We shall see!
Thanks for watching,
Gary
