Gord wowed me when he would stick to 3/8" bowl gouge for decent sized bowls. Occasionally I'll grab my 5/8" gouge, but usually it's two 1/2" with 35 and 55 degree grinds. Each to their own, for sure. Nice bowl, Gary. Perfect satin finish. I also like a smaller one for the ease, but they don't take much less time that a bigger one, so I have a nice stash of lovely medium-small blanks because the big ones just couldn't wait. :)
My 1/2" bowl gouges say 3/8". Some measure the shank and others the flute I think there is a misunderstanding with all of this. Rather than confusing things I go with bar size on all of the ones I have. Even though my Sorby tools measure the flute.
Thank you Gord. I was shocked when I cut the piece in half to get two blanks. One half just split after the cut. I had another piece of Cherry someone else sent. Dang that one spilt while sitting on the shelf. A shame as the wood is amazing. I will make something out of it though. Thanks for watching buddy and hope to see you again on your channel soon. Gary
Lovely little bowl Gary with some beautiful grain and it took a lovely finish, just thinking out loud Gary we must be due another segmented turning shortly thankyou for sharing l love them all
Thank you Ronnie! Yes I will need to do another segmented turning soon. I ordered some special wood just for it. I got myself in the mood to change things around in my shop so kind of working on that. As soon as I get that done it will be time for doing some segments. Gary
Cherry is a beautiful wood. I know I have said this before, but it looks so much like the wood of the Mexican Plum trees that grow wild here in Central Texas. My dad always thought they were more of a cherry than a plum . I think the delicate shape you put on this bowl is awesome.. Nothing wrong with some small bowls. Thanks for the sharing the video.
Thanks Travis. Apparently there is a tree called Cherry Plum in Californian. Not sure about the fruit but the wood sure is pretty. We have a plum tree and a cherry tree. The birds get the cherries before we can. Thanks for watching, Gary
@@WoodenItBeNice thanks buddy. Better listen up to it. I was going through my wood stash and found some beautiful Cherry. And some really nice Maple. It will be one of those or a surprise piece Take care, Gary
I'll try again. Great job with beautiful wood. I guess when you aren't turning a "live-edge" bowl, you can put the worm screw on the flat side. As always, you create beautiful bowls from what sometimes looks like wood for the burn-pile. Love your play by play with speeds etc.
Thanks Norm! Yes a normal bowl usually has a nice flat spot to mount against. I have piece piece I saved from the fire pit at our last family reunion. A say nice but it does have some bad cracks. But it looks like some nice grain. Gary
Well done, Gary. That grain and features worked well for a bowl this size. You don't always have to turn a large piece of wood to make something really nice and enjoyable to turn. I recently turned a bowl that is 5" across by 2" high out of spalted Cyprus.
Another great bowl for good use in the house. I love cherry, and you did an excellent job with it. I just acquired a bowl lathe, and as of last Monday, I now have electricity to my 20+year old pole barn. That is where my shop is finally going to come together all in one place. Gotta empty it out first, but hope to have it all up and running by the end of the year.
Thanks Valerie! A bowl lathe...hmm what is it and how big. At work we had a post lathe. I turned a ring that was just about 8 foot in diameter. You have me thinking now. I could rotate the head on my Bridgeport mill and turn it into a bowl lathe. Runs off a VFD so could slow it down to a crawl. But I wont LOL
@@ThePapa1947 It is a Stubby from Australia. Friend traded it for my old Nova. Does 30” without blinking. No longer made. You could always get a Nichols kit lathe for about $4000. Does huge.
Beautiful Bowl Gary! I really like the color variation on the outside of it, and it’s other markings, it is a lot of fun working on some smaller projects enjoyed the video 👍
Love it Gary. Cherry is always a challenge for me. I mostly deal with Burls. Almost every fruit wood gives me challenge especially Apple wood. Still saving up for a new Lathe and I'm just not feeling myself without making artwork. But I love to watch other woo turners to keep my focus on the task at hand and working to save for one. One that's going to actually outlast myself. Anywho happy turning my friend 😊.
Thank you Edward. You must have a good access for burls. Have not turned a Cherry Burl. Maple and Black Locust and Siberian Elm is what I have turned. What lathe are you wanting to get? Thanks for watching, Gary
Thank you Stephen! Well I think I have reached the stage of having more than I need. Or no space to put them is more like it. Thanks for watching, Gary
Another beauty Gary, lots to look at in that bowl and the colors are awesome! Too bad cracks formed in the other half of the blank, must have been some wood stresses that were released, well done and thanks! Cheers Al
Thanks Bram. Nice to get the wood especially if the tree has to come down. We have a huge Leland Cypress we may have to be taken down. It got a lot bigger than we expected. Thanks for watching, Gary
Lovely Gary!! The colours are beautiful as cherry often is. I had the privilege of being given some orchard cherry wood from the Okanagan in BC lately. Most of the cherry I've turned has been from ornamental trees but this wood was very different. Besides being a more luxurious red colour, it also smelled like I was standing in a cherry pie with all the shavings around me!! As others have said, being a smaller bowl doesn't take away from its beauty. Cheers, Rick
Thanks Rick. There seems to be lots of types of Cherry trees and the wood all looks different. As far as how it smells I miss out on that. In 2006 I lost all my sense of smell. Some has come back but not enough to feel like I am standing in a Cherry pie. On a side note would you have a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on that pie LOL Gary
I loved the zoom effect you were using in this video, Gary. An editing feature of your software, I presume? Very effective! I think mine does that too but I haven't figured it out, yet. I also love the bedan tool you modified. Looks so much stronger than my thin diamond point tool. Might have to find one of those for myself. This Cherry has some beautiful grain and color to it. Along with the inclusion, your talent with your new gouge and that great finish, you have another winner! Great job, my friend, keep'em coming! 😊 Phil
Thanks Phil with a piece of Cherry like this it is hard to go wrong. Yes that feature is in my software. You can make it zoom in or out. Or even move the work left or right. It is a pretty cool effect. Crazy thing is I had an Amazon gift card and decided to get the bedan. Then a few years later I had a Rockler gift card and guess what I bought. I had not used the first one and forgot I had it. That is why I made it into a tenon tool. What I like is the tail stock can still be against the work. And of course the extra thickness helps. And my old Craftsman diamond point tool has gotten too short to fit on the grinder platform, Thanks for watching, Gary
Oh I think she will like it. I say think because I have not brought it in yet LOL It may be time to recycle some of the others to make room. Thanks for watching, Gary
it is a pretty little bowl! You just can't go wrong cherry wood. Small bows are quick and easy better the bigger bowl and what I like to get into. Now my little lady will only allow me to do something up to 12 inch diameter, but I get as close to that every time I can. I do small bows when I just want to do something.😁I always enjoy watching your videos👍
Thank you very much. I like doing them all sizes. I do like doing really big ones but none will be as big as the 6 foot diameter turning I did at work. Thanks for watching, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Nice, I have a cherry crotch to turn that I cut up about 15 months ago, can't wait. I turned small cherry root a couple of years ago, great fun indeed!
A very nice one if I don't say so myself, Gary. That piece of wood came from a cherry tree that was growing at Holly Lake Ranch a gated community that is located north of Hawkins in East Texas off US 80 situated about mid-way between Dallas, TX and Shreveport, LA.. That was one of four pieces of wood that remained after being chopped down and scavenged by many wood turners in the area. If you snooze, ya lose when wood like this becomes available in the area. I was fortunate to grab what I could get two or so years ago. I am happy the boss lady likes it and is putting it on a shelf. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Don! We have 2 cherry trees and I have gotten trimmings off big enough for turnings but most end up in my smoker. So Cherry wood is good for lots of things but I sure like turning it. Gary
Nice little bowl Gary. I love the look of Cherry, but never had the chance to turn any. I noticed another sub mentioned lids. I like to see you do a smallish lidded project to show us how it's done...maybe an endgrain from a branch.
Thanks so much Gil. Cherry is a nice turning wood. I have done a few pieces with lids. One I did out of some Macadamia wood I had. I have been thinking of doing some so it may be coming up. Gary
Thank You Gary, Thank You John... I love Cherry (both wood and fruit especially chocolate covered😁)....Beautiful little bowl with all that wonderful Cherry grain. NOW THE BIG QUESTION IS HOW MANY CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRIES WILL FILL THAT CUTE LITTLE CHERRY BOWL?????? (in my house ONE but not for very long, ha).... Until next time Gary.... TM
You do wonders with wood with cracks and what I call imperfections. I need to start using wood given to me and make bowls. I ordered gouges from "chefware" and will try my luck with them. Up to now I have been using carbide tools and have learned to use them successfully.
I’m glad to see you turn a small bowl. That is all I can turn on my midi lathe. Your turning turned out very nice. I’ve always liked cherry wood. Thanks for your time
Thank you Dave. I do enjoy turning small ones and will do more for sure. How large of a bowl can you turn on your lathe? Oh and next week will be a small one as well. Gary
You just have to love Cherry ! It never fails to impress . Such a great looking finish as well . As always Gary , a mighty fine job and a beautiful bowl . We hope you have a great weekend .
That is a very nice bowl. I haven't done any turning as if kate, however, its August and I live in Alabama. So it's Bern its usual "warm" self. But I may start back soon.
Nice piece of cherry I'm ready to down a non-producing cherry tree out of my garden this autumn so it wll come in useful for turning in a couple of years.
Thank you Ron! We took one down a few years ago but it was kind of small. Most of the wood ended up in my smoker stack. I did get some nice pieces from the tree our son lost a few years ago. Thanks for watching, Gary
Cherry is a great wood to turn for sure. I use both 5/8 and 1/2 inch gouges. I find there is a place for both depending on the piece of wood. I got a comment yesterday saying that he only uses 1/2 inch for everything. Hard to say what a person is really using as across the pond they size the gouge by the flute. Here we go with the shaft size. I refer to all my tools by the bar size.
Watching your videos is really enjoying and relaxing while also helping learn for my our bowl turnings. I just harvest a black walnut from my in-laws and all I had to do was get it down and process it. Love this bowl of yours and gives me ideas for some of my future pieces. Can you tell me more about the angles on your negative rake scraper? I have one that does not come to a point like yours does and looking for some advice on how to grind mine into shape like yours. Thanks and keep up the videos. Matt from Minnesota
Thank you very much Matt. My scraper came as a non negative rake scraper with a much flatter radius on the nose. I ground the top side(which makes it a negative rake) then slowly shaped the nose to where it is now every time I sharpen it. I use 40 degrees top and bottom. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions. Gary
Interesting question you had about the size of the bowl gouge. I do virtually all bowl turning, roughing and finishing, with 1/2” bowl gouges. I have a 5/8” and a 3/4” but seldom get them to the lathe. IMHO, size and grind really make little difference. What seems to make the most difference is the turner’s comfort level with the tool. You’ve turned a lovely bowl. Cherry is the queen after all.
Thanks Doug. When roughing a blank to a round shape I will take a 5/8 anytime. The extra steel helps when cutting wood like Black Locust especially when doing a natural edge. A nice fully round blank it does not make much difference like you said. I have an equal amount of both sizes and love using both. Thanks for watching, Gary
Gary, it’s a beauty! I like all the inclusions. They add so much to a turning. Glad you stayed ahead of the cracks. It’s disappointing to have that happen… is the other half of the log useable?
Thank you Skip! They sure can add a lot for sure. Some of the other piece can be used but the cracks will make it hard to make a bowl this size. Thanks for watching, Gary
Very nice looking bowl Gary. The grain and the figure are really impressive. One question regarding the video, in some places it looks like you are zooming in and out while you are turning. Is that part of your camera setup or did you do that when editing the raw video? It was an interesting effect.
Thank you very much Mark. If you see the zooming taking place it is part of the software. If I go from one scene to another and it is zoomed in then most likely I zoomed with the camera. Thanks for watching, Gary
This little bowl is really beautiful. I like cherry wood a lot. I don’t know anything about working with wood, I am a computer and electronics guy for more than fifty years, so please forgive me, if I might ask a stupid question about the shellac sealing. Is it save to put food, like apples, pears, peaches or other fruit and vegetables, in a shellac-treated bowl? Thank you for sharing your videos. 🌈
Thank you very much Benedict! Not a stupid question at all. A good one in fact. Shellac is a finish I would consider food safe. For one reason they coat M&M's with shellac. Or they used to. Besides that I think it says it on the can that it is food safe. So putting fruit and vegetables it is perfect. I use the same finish for snack bowls like chips, nuts and popcorn. Thanks for watching, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I appreciate how prompt you are and getting back to people I have been looking for a couple of years for them and not knowing the name will have to order them is there any recommendation on a size that I should get I always know bigger is better but is it necessary
@@johnschmiz2336 I have the small and large ones. The large ones will measure all but the small ones have limited reach. If you only get one I would go with the bigger ones. I
Thanks Lee. I have not turned that many but none have cracked. The worst for cracking for me has been plum. Had one crack badly after close to 2 years. Thanks for watching, Gary
A remote control would never work for me. I cant find the TV remote in my living room, how could I possibly find it in the shop? I have a heavy duty pull-cord switch mounted on the wall at one end of my shop and a string going all the way to the other end wall at a height of about 6 feet. No matter where I am in the shop, that string is always there just over my head!
Thanks Kevin that is a good idea for some things. Problem with using a long string is most of my on off switches are push button. I hang bright colors on most of my remotes. They do get lost(set down where I forget the spot) but I try and hang them where they are easy to see. Thanks for watching, Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Sure Garry, but you only need it for the dust extractor in which case you would wire it across the start button. It could restart without warning in the event of a power cut, but that wouldn't be very dangerous. Keep your videos coming. They are very interesting, thanks.
@@kevingeaney7741 yes I could take that switch out and wire a nice switch in its place. But I have 4 machines that use the dust collector and I would just as soon use a remote instead of a cobweb of strings running to each machine. The remote is working like new now. I even put a remote on my shop vac which is handy. When it picks up something that clogs the end I can just shut it off and clear it and back to work. This afternoon was sweep and vacuum day and that saved me a lot of work All of my LED overhead lights are daisy chained together. Each one has a pull cord to shut it off which is really handy. Thanks for your tips, Gary
Good morning, Gary.
You turned an excellent cherry bowl. Small and easy can be just as rewarding as a larger turning.
All the best, my friend.
Ray
Thank you Ray. I have a few more small ones on the way. Both lots of fun.
Take care buddy,

Thank you Don! We have 2 cherry trees and I have gotten trimmings off big enough for turnings but most end up in my smoker. So Cherry wood is good for lots of things but I sure like turning it.
Gary
Garry, that turned out a smashing wee bowl, there is also some nice markings in the piece, great job.
Thanks Alan and it was quick and easy.

I like the oak handle on the new tool.
Yes it is a very comfortable handle. Thanks for watching,

Nice little bowl Gary. I love the look of Cherry, but never had the chance to turn any.
I noticed another sub mentioned lids. I like to see you do a smallish lidded project to show us how it's done...maybe an endgrain from a branch.
Thanks so much Gil. Cherry is a nice turning wood.
I have done a few pieces with lids. One I did out of some Macadamia wood I had. I have been thinking of doing some so it may be coming up.
Gary
Thank You Gary, Thank You John... I love Cherry (both wood and fruit especially chocolate covered😁)....Beautiful little bowl with all that wonderful Cherry grain. NOW THE BIG QUESTION IS HOW MANY CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRIES WILL FILL THAT CUTE LITTLE CHERRY BOWL?????? (in my house ONE but not for very long, ha).... Until next time Gary.... TM
Thank you TM. Almost anything covered in chocolate is good😀
It would be good for grapes as well. Minus the chocolate LOL

You do wonders with wood with cracks and what I call imperfections. I need to start using wood given to me and make bowls. I ordered gouges from "chefware" and will try my luck with them. Up to now I have been using carbide tools and have learned to use them successfully.
Thank you Norm. Gifted wood is always fun to turn
The gouges will be different but you will figure them out
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I’m glad to see you turn a small bowl. That is all I can turn on my midi lathe. Your turning turned out very nice. I’ve always liked cherry wood. Thanks for your time
Thank you Dave. I do enjoy turning small ones and will do more for sure.
How large of a bowl can you turn on your lathe?
Oh and next week will be a small one as well.
Gary
That is a pretty little bowl. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Garth and thanks for watching,

You just have to love Cherry ! It never fails to impress . Such a great looking finish as well . As always Gary , a mighty fine job and a beautiful bowl . We hope you have a great weekend .
Thank you very much Jon. I do love turning Cherry.
Back to a little rain here which we needed.
Thanks for watching,

@@ThePapa1947 Just starting to sprinkle a little down here . A couple cool days and back to the nineties ! Ugh ! 😊
A real pretty little bowl, it seemed to have a glow about it. Thanks Graham UK
Thank you Graham! Cherry finishes out so well. One of the nicest and easiest to get a nice finish.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another nice bowl, as usual.
Thank you Josh!
Lovely little bowl. 🤓
Thank you Dawn happy you liked it.
Gary
That is a very nice bowl. I haven't done any turning as if kate, however, its August and I live in Alabama. So it's Bern its usual "warm" self. But I may start back soon.
Thank you Harry. It finally has cooled down some here. But it might get pretty warm again this Saturday.

Beautiful bowl. Love the grain and everything else.❤

Nice piece of cherry I'm ready to down a non-producing cherry tree out of my garden this autumn so it wll come in useful for turning in a couple of years.
Thank you Ron! We took one down a few years ago but it was kind of small. Most of the wood ended up in my smoker stack. I did get some nice pieces from the tree our son lost a few years ago.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful cherry
Thank you Marty and thanks for watching,

Love cherry! My first bowl gouge was 1/2” and I used it for everything. They work fine for most turning but I’ve since switched to 5/8.
Cherry is a great wood to turn for sure.
I use both 5/8 and 1/2 inch gouges. I find there is a place for both depending on the piece of wood.
I got a comment yesterday saying that he only uses 1/2 inch for everything.
Hard to say what a person is really using as across the pond they size the gouge by the flute. Here we go with the shaft size.
I refer to all my tools by the bar size.
Watching your videos is really enjoying and relaxing while also helping learn for my our bowl turnings. I just harvest a black walnut from my in-laws and all I had to do was get it down and process it. Love this bowl of yours and gives me ideas for some of my future pieces. Can you tell me more about the angles on your negative rake scraper? I have one that does not come to a point like yours does and looking for some advice on how to grind mine into shape like yours. Thanks and keep up the videos.
Matt from Minnesota
Thank you very much Matt.
My scraper came as a non negative rake scraper with a much flatter radius on the nose. I ground the top side(which makes it a negative rake) then slowly shaped the nose to where it is now every time I sharpen it.
I use 40 degrees top and bottom.
Hope that helps.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Thanks Gary that helps a lot. I will use 40 and see if can imitate the shape of yours on my Sorby HD Scraper.
Interesting question you had about the size of the bowl gouge. I do virtually all bowl turning, roughing and finishing, with 1/2” bowl gouges. I have a 5/8” and a 3/4” but seldom get them to the lathe. IMHO, size and grind really make little difference. What seems to make the most difference is the turner’s comfort level with the tool.
You’ve turned a lovely bowl. Cherry is the queen after all.
Thanks Doug. When roughing a blank to a round shape I will take a 5/8 anytime. The extra steel helps when cutting wood like Black Locust especially when doing a natural edge.
A nice fully round blank it does not make much difference like you said.
I have an equal amount of both sizes and love using both.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, it’s a beauty! I like all the inclusions. They add so much to a turning. Glad you stayed ahead of the cracks. It’s disappointing to have that happen… is the other half of the log useable?
Thank you Skip! They sure can add a lot for sure.
Some of the other piece can be used but the cracks will make it hard to make a bowl this size.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice looking bowl Gary. The grain and the figure are really impressive. One question regarding the video, in some places it looks like you are zooming in and out while you are turning. Is that part of your camera setup or did you do that when editing the raw video? It was an interesting effect.
Thank you very much Mark.
If you see the zooming taking place it is part of the software.
If I go from one scene to another and it is zoomed in then most likely I zoomed with the camera.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
This little bowl is really beautiful. I like cherry wood a lot. I don’t know anything about working with wood, I am a computer and electronics guy for more than fifty years, so please forgive me, if I might ask a stupid question about the shellac sealing. Is it save to put food, like apples, pears, peaches or other fruit and vegetables, in a shellac-treated bowl? Thank you for sharing your videos. 🌈
Thank you very much Benedict!
Not a stupid question at all. A good one in fact.
Shellac is a finish I would consider food safe. For one reason they coat M&M's with shellac. Or they used to.
Besides that I think it says it on the can that it is food safe.
So putting fruit and vegetables it is perfect.
I use the same finish for snack bowls like chips, nuts and popcorn.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947Thank you for your quick answer and for your wonderful work and videos.
Benedict 🇪🇺
Gary do you film all your turns or do you turn some without the camera on
Hi Ken I record 99.9 percent of them. I do enjoy just turning one now and then though.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
We need to make them a little smaller because my wife said so 😂
Thanks Daniel. Well it was a suggestion LOL. I sure am not going to cut a 14 inch blank down to 6 because of a suggestion 😁🤣

Good morning my friend 🤣😃😄
What are the name of the calipers that you use?
@@johnschmiz2336 they are bowl calipers.
www.rockler.com/sorby-calipers
@@ThePapa1947 I appreciate how prompt you are and getting back to people I have been looking for a couple of years for them and not knowing the name will have to order them is there any recommendation on a size that I should get I always know bigger is better but is it necessary
@@johnschmiz2336 I have the small and large ones. The large ones will measure all but the small ones have limited
reach.
If you only get one I would go with the bigger ones.

When I was making bowls, I would lose probably 1/3 of my cherry bowls due to cracking after they were turned.
Thanks Lee. I have not turned that many but none have cracked. The worst for cracking for me has been plum. Had one crack badly after close to 2 years.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Have you ever made lids for your small bowls?
Hi Dennis, yes I have made a few lids for them.

A remote control would never work for me. I cant find the TV remote in my living room, how could I possibly find it in the shop? I have a heavy duty pull-cord switch mounted on the wall at one end of my shop and a string going all the way to the other end wall at a height of about 6 feet. No matter where I am in the shop, that string is always there just over my head!
Thanks Kevin that is a good idea for some things.
Problem with using a long string is most of my on off switches are push button.
I hang bright colors on most of my remotes. They do get lost(set down where I forget the spot) but I try and hang them where they are easy to see.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Sure Garry, but you only need it for the dust extractor in which case you would wire it across the start button. It could restart without warning in the event of a power cut, but that wouldn't be very dangerous.
Keep your videos coming. They are very interesting, thanks.
@@kevingeaney7741 yes I could take that switch out and wire a nice switch in its place. But I have 4 machines that use the dust collector and I would just as soon use a remote instead of a cobweb of strings running to each machine.
The remote is working like new now.
I even put a remote on my shop vac which is handy. When it picks up something that clogs the end I can just shut it off and clear it and back to work.
This afternoon was sweep and vacuum day and that saved me a lot of work
All of my LED overhead lights are daisy chained together. Each one has a pull cord to shut it off which is really handy.
Thanks for your tips,
Gary
