Great bowl. Thanks
Thank you Jack and thanks for watching,

Thank You Gary .. Waking up to "ThePapa1947" turning something new is almost as good as coffee in the morning...(almost...ha). Entertaining, educational and I do not have to cleanup after. Gary, at the end, it looks like you received a X-Mass present of a new Orvis zip up turning jacket? .. Beautiful grain and the bowl finish is spectacular with the high gloss polish. Really brings out that grain. Perfect "Phil" nub removable technique. .. Until the next time Gary.... TM
Thank you tuffy! Well I will take second to a cup of coffee any day. Takes me 3 just to get moving.
Well my wife got that a few months before Christmas and I love it. One of the Costco deals. Should have gotten both version. It is not allowed around chips so I can only wear it when showing the finished turning LOL.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Somehow, I watched half of this video, decided I wasn't focused enough, paused it and never came back until today. Am I ever glad I did. That was very useful, Gary! I've thought about trying sanding with oil, like Carl. Never have. But this grain filling method is fantastic. I'll share this with our club. I've never heard of it before. Great to learn new things. And, what a shire you achieved!
Thank you Jay! I think sanding with oil works good but then I would want to finish it with oil as well.
This does give a few more options on what finish you can use.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful grain. Thanks.
Thank you Herbie and thanks for watching.
Gary
Hi from the UK! Fantastic looking bowl! Thanks for sharing. Liked and subscribed. Niw working through your videos. 😊
Thanks so much Rich I appreciate you watching and subscribing.
Gary
If I had not seen it with my own two eyeballs I would not have believed you removed the bottom bump while the bowl was turning. I suppose that is a common technique but I don’t think I have seen it before.
Thank you for sharing your skills and your time.
Thank you very much and it is not common at all. I had never seen it before watching Phil Anderson do it and as far as I know he is the only other one who has done it.
Thank you for watching,
Gary
That's a great idea! I'll use that!
Thank you Lawrence, I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, I came here hopping for one of your "golden nugget tips" on finishing a bowl turning, what I came away with was an entire pan full of great tips! This is why I subscribe to your channel Sir! Thank you
Thank you so much Dave. Very happy you were pleased with what you got out of it.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Gary
Looks great. Thanks.
Herbert thank you very much and thanks for watching.
Gary
Beautiful.
Thank you Khan and thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful bowl, Gary! Really nice grain. I know you had to put a little extra time in to get the cracks filled with the slurry but it was worth your effort. Just a stunning finish! We all could learn from your efforts on this one. Great job, my friend, keep'em coming!
Phil
Thanks so much Phil! Cracks are like some friends. Some you really like and some you wish you could change a little.
These I wanted to change just a little LOL.
I have my self working on something that I am not sure will be ugly or cool. But too late now so what you will see is what you get.
Take care my friend,
Gary
Great job, looks awesome
Thank you Vern, I appreciate you watching and commenting.

Beautiful grain and bowl! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Glen and thanks for watching,
Gary
Thats quite the chunk of Staghorn Sumac. Nice sanding tips too. Thanks 👍
Thank you Mark. Yes I understand it was a very big piece. Not sure where it came from. It was sawed up and at a local tree farm where we was buying some trees to plant at our place. I ask what they were going to do with it and they told me if I wanted it for firewood to help myself. I have some smaller pieces left and I will not burn those either.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
You have some really interesting pieces...but I think this is one of my favorites!!! Love the "papa" story as well!!!
Thank you very much Tom. Happy you enjoy my videos.
Gary

I love this bowl...the grain is so gorgeous!
Thank you Carol, and it was my last big piece. Never know I might come across more.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Lovely finish!
Thank you Andrew!
WELDONE gary super good advice. thank u. I use to wax and san paper together like u and it does work. great.
Thank you Manjit and thanks for the tip on how you do it.
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful bowl and a great technique. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you James and thanks for watching.
Gary
REALY good finish.
Thank you my friend!
I love to see craftspeople at work. Such economy of movement producing excellent work. In 1978 I was a member of Bath motor club and won a 12 car road rally on Saturday and a slalom competition on the Sunday in my 55 bhp Triumph 1300, so we have even more in common 🌞
Thanks so much Ray. That day in the rain was October 2011. It is my son's race car and he had been asking me to drive in at least one race. So that was it. And sure as could be when I took my time on the track it just poured down raining for the whole 45 minutes. But the good thing is I only gave up 2 spot in the finish. Your Triumph sounds very cool.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Grate work Gary,learn something every time I watch a vid.
Thank you Jim and thanks for watching.
Gary
Thanks for the educational topic on finishing. I enjoy watching your videos
Rick thank you very much and thanks for watching.
Gary
Thank you for the sanding sealer tip! I’ve never used sanding sealer in that way. I’ll be doing it on my next bowl. Finishes are where I’ve foot a lot to learn!
Thanks you very much. It is handy when you have a piece of wood that just is not sanding all that well. If you have a nice piece of hardwood without defects it is probably not needed.
Best of luck,
Gary
wow great job,,,,,,thanks for the tip
Mark hank you very much for watching and commenting.
Gary

Thank you Rick and thanks for watching,
Gary
This is a lovely bowl! I have never before seen dry wood with such a pretty green tinge. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thank you Stephen. I hope to be able to find more of that wood. But I understand this is a very big piece.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That looks amazing Mr. Gary! Looks like glass! Great sand and finishing tips, thanks Gary, appreciate ya! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Bruce. Happy you liked it and appreciate you watching and commenting.
Take care buddy,
Gary
Thanks for another great video Gary 👍
Thank you Steve and thanks for watching.
Take care,
Gary
Nice, Gary. Once again, you taught me something. I hope can remember that sealing trick the next time I have some really open grain wood.
Thank you!
Thank you Dave and thanks for watching.
Gary
That bowl turned out beautiful Gary. Thanks for sharing your sanding trick, I’ll have to give that a try.
Thanks again Scott!
Nice piece. Definitely going to give that sanding technique a try. Thanks for that.
Thank you Mike! It works very well on softer open grain wood. I do not do it all that much but it does come in handy.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That's one beautiful bowl the grain is so attractive.
Thank you Judith, it is a very pretty wood.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Really nice finish! I’m gonna steal that wet sanding trick. Great idea.
Thank you Jim. Enjoy the process it works pretty good.
Gary
Great idea using the sanding sealer as a wood filler.
Thank you very much. Happy you liked the idea.
Gary
Beautiful bowl Mr. Gary
Thanks so much Donald and thanks for watching and commenting.
Take care,
Gary
Lovely bowl Gary, those are excellent tips you showed us and really like that combination with minwax sanding sealer and polycrylic and you just showed another way of using them.......well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thank you Al, it has become one of my favorite finishes.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Excellent job again Gary. Thanks for another nice lesson in turning techniques, and another beautiful piece. I don't have all the different exotic pieces that you have, but knowing how to produce a fine finish in different circumstances is really helpful. I really like your methodical approach. Thanks again, and see you next week.
Thank you very much Mark, I am running out of this odd wood but I do have some similar wood. Catalpa. The grain is much like this and is also a bit soft and open.
See ya later!
Gary
Awesome again Sir I just cannot stop watching your videos. They are so interactive and full of detail. As we say here in the UK. the projects are JUST THE TICKET. Look forward to the next one. Paul
Thanks so much Paul I appreciate your comments.
Take care,
Gary
Great job, Gary. Thanks for sharing the "slurry" trick. Makes a lot of sense to me. I'll keep it in mind on future projects. Will no doubt use it on some ash logs I'm drying.
Thank you Tom. Just another option to use when nothing else works.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful bowl Gary, the grain really stands out. Great sanding tip!
Thanks for sharing. Cheers Dave
Thank you Dave and thanks for watching.
Cheers,
Gary
A very beautiful piece Gary love it take care and God bless
Thanks so my Mike! God Bless my friend,
Gary
Very cool trick. I will be using that!
Thanks Chris, I think you will really like it. It is a hand trick for the right piece of wood.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice job Gary, thanks for the sanding tips as well, I could use the help there! Keep putting out these informative videos. Nice to see Phil commenting, hope he's doing fine!
Thank you Gary. Yes it is nice hearing from Phil anyway he does.
Never had to do it but I see where it can be used. Good demonstration and explanations. Very nice bowl. Thank you Gary.
Thank you Sylive! I think we all hope to not have to do this but it is a handy trick for a very stubborn piece of wood.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I am definitely going to try the wet sanding with sanding sealer great tip
Thank you Gregg and best of luck.
Gary
Many thanks for another top presentation.
Brian U
Thank you Brian. Happy you enjoyed it.
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful bowl. Your slurry method is great. I’ve done it before with tung oil, but never with sanding sealer. I’ll have to give that one a try. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Doug. I have done it with wipe on poly and that works ok. I like to do it with the finish I plan on using.
But it is hard to do with shellac and lacquer do might only do small areas.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful sumac bowl Gary.
Thank you Jack. I sure wish I could have gotten more. This was the biggest piece of the bunch. I do have a few branches left though.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
You are doing mity fine work, thanks for sharing.
Kenneth hank you very much for watching and commenting.
Gary
I'm fascinated with the use and beauty of the poly-acrylic finish. I only use wax, oil, and shellac, but you've convinced me that I could get out of my comfort zone a little. Thanks again, Gary!
Thank you Perry. I am sure you will like it. For sure I would use a few coats of the water based sanding sealer first. Then the Polycrylic goes on very easily.
Best of luck,
Gary
Thank you- I have been looking for a better way to fill cracks. The bowl looks really pretty.
Thank you Lynda. I works really good for cracks and also for very open grain.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
beautiful bowl Gary.
Thank you Robert and thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice finish Gary, looks great!👍🏻👍🏻
James thank you very much and thanks for watching. Much appreciated.
Gary
Beautiful outcome, I will be trying your suggestions next. Thanks.
Thank you Gail! I just used in on a turning yesterday and the video is coming soon.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
That’s some nice looking wood!
Thank you Sean, yes it is a very pretty wood.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I thought I commented earlier when I watched this video, can’t find it!
This bowl is beautiful the grain looks so pronounced and gorgeous against the blonde wood! The finish is amazing, it really brings the masterpiece to a new level! Great job! Bravo!
Thank you Mary. Goes to show you that even a somewhat plain looking wood can be beautiful as well.
Take care,
Gary
Thanks for this channel. I’ve learned ao much
Thank you very much. Happy you enjoy my channel.

Thank you Phil happy you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.
Gary
Nice job Beautiful bowl Gary! I like the colors of that wood to, Thanks for the finishing sanding slurry tip, Enjoyed the video.👍👍👍
Thank you Kimsey, it works good but certainly not needed on all turnings.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
Cracking job, lovely piece of wood to turn, brilliant finish, that sanding tip has gone in my wood turning learning bank. All the best from frosty Lincolnshire UK
Thank you very much Gary. Very happy you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching.
Gary from the other side of the pond!
Gary you aced it brother.
Thank you very much Ray. Happy you enjoyed the video.. For sure it is a nice trick to use now and then.
Take care,

Gary, again beautiful bowl, nice grain, thanks for sharing! Csaba
Thanks so much Csaba and thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, nice project, beautiful finish. Will try it on my next turning.
Thank you Joseph. If needed it is a very handy trick.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Wow I thought my finish was good,well done Papa❤
Thank you very much. Finishing is as important as the turning and the shape you end up with. I look forward to that step and try not to rush it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful piece. Never saw sumac that big
Thank you Charles and this is the first I have ever seen. But it grows wild in the woods where I live.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Nice job, Gary! I've never used sanding sealer, but I've heard of doing wet-sanding with polyurethane on furniture refinishing jobs. It sure looks like it works well on new bowls. I admire the level of respect you give to guys, like Phil, when you credit them for tips you've learned from them. It shows a level of professionalism among woodturners that is all too rare in society in recent years. Thanks for the tip; I look forward to giving it a try.
Thank you very much Paul. I have watched Phil since I started doing this and have learned a lot from him.
I consider him a great wood turner and a great friend.
I enjoy figuring things out especially if it is treated like a secret. Then I really enjoy sharing that.
Thanks again my friend,
Gary
Awesome wood grain pattern. I turned some Osage a while back that had the cracks radiating out that looked quite neat. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Mark and the cracking really can add to a bowl. Sounds like your Osage was pretty cool.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another great video Gary! You are so good about passing on things to other wood turners. I'm sure many folks found this very informative. Thanks for sharing your creativity with me again. Stay safe, Vickie
Thanks so much Vickie. I sure was hoping it would have some interest and it sure seems as though it does.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Plum forgot to ask, or something... is this like the sumac weed? I'm deathly allergic to them and you had my nose actually reacting to the thought lol. Thanks, Vickie
@@vickiejenkinson2468 it is part of the family. But this is an actual tree and it is not poisonous.
Thanks Gary. Another beauty with some great sanding tips. Great to see home-made tools. I made a negative rake scraper out of a farrier's file which works quite well.
Thank you Mark! I love making tools even it is chaining a very old one to give it a new purpose.
I made many scrapers from files at work for special shapes on the patterns I made.
Back then we did not know about negative rake and the files would catch easy. But I have yet to grind them into a negative rake style. I should do that as I still have them. On a side note I have read you should anneal the file so it does not shatter on a catch. But negative rake it is less likely to catch. There is a method where you do it in your oven but you would have to look it up.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Thanks Gary, I will look up the annealing.
It's another beautiful bowl Gary. I guess I've not had to develop a sanding trick because I don't have access to these gorgeous pieces of wood! The most fiddly I've had was wide grain ash and trying to sand through a narrow-ish neck. All I needed was patience and time to sand. Eventually it gets there. All the best. Ray
Thank you Ray and you nailed it. Patience and time are the key to success. I have been know to put a coat of sealer on it and notice an area that may have small scratches. So I just sand it all off and do it again. But I sure do my best to avoid that added operation.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
That's a nice trick, with the slurry. Unfortunately I have a lot of wood with cracks and so I always have to try to get rid of them. This is a beautiful way. Normally I put wood glue into the crack and then sand so that the dust settles in the wood glue. Thanks for this video Gary. Take care.
Frank.
Thank you Frank and I am sure your method works as well. Especially on larger cracks.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
I enjoyed watching you and I like you mentioning Phil Anderson
Thank you Ronnie! Before I started making videos I came across Phil and have watched him since. I have been turning a long time but making videos was new for me. He encouraged me to give it a try.
Phil is a very helpful guy which you probably noticed in a recent video where he helped someone years ago to keep their home.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947
Phil just happened to be the first turner that I started watching.
I feel like I’m in class learning something from the professor.
Never heard of Staghorn Sumac living where I do but boy, it has a strong grain that is quite beautiful to look at. I loved your process of sanding & the explanation so clearly given. The cracks filled in very well & don't detract from the final bowl whatsoever. Phil is absolutely right when he described it as a 'Beautiful Bowl'. Great jo my friend & stay well. Don from South Aust.
Thanks so much Don, I had not heard of it before it was offered to me. It grows wild in the woods here but I think people plant it in their yards as well. I got it from a tree farm when we were buying a tree.
The wood was stacked and had been cut(probably at a customers yard) and brought back to the tree farm. I ask about it and they said take what I wanted. this was the biggest piece and I do have some smaller branches left.
Take care,
Gary
Whoa that's beautiful, Gary! I usually have a problem with the end grain, I need to try this. Thanks for always showing us other/better ways to do things. Take care!
Thank you Mike, happy you enjoyed it.
Take care my friend,
Gary
Gary, your projects are an inspiration and your videos are so instructive and helpful to this 80 y/o beginner. Thank you for all your hard work in putting these up. A crack filling trick I learned from Kent Weakley: For small cracks put a bit of wood glue on a finger tip, rub it in the crack, wipe off any excess and immediately hand sand the area. The sanding heat dries up the glue, the crack fills in and just disappears! Kind of like your slurry. On large cracks I semi fill with medium ca glue then do the wood glue/ sanding to top it off. Thanks again, please keep posting.
Thank you Gary and happy to hear you are taking up wood turning.
I will use CA glue and sawdust as well. As long as you have the CA glue try putting some fresh saw dust in the crack
from sanding the same bowl. When I know I need to fill a larger crack I sand and catch the dust for that use.
Lots of options so nice to have them to choose from.
Thanks for watching.
Gary
Hi Gary...
Lovely looking bowl and a great tutorial on how to get your beautiful finishes...
Great video as always...
Take care...All the best.....Andy
Thanks so much Andy and thanks for watching,
Gary
hello fellow art lovers greetings healthy and successful always. thank you for sharing knowledge and always faithfully watching your latest stuff I like your ideas
I thank you very much and thanks for watching.
Gary
Awesome, thank you for sharing this, Gary. 👍👍👍👍👍staghorn sumac has very beautiful grain, and I have never seen this timber.🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Gao thank you very much for watching and commenting.
Gary
I’ve used wet sanding to solve similar issues with good results. The Minwax water based sealer is new to me, will be searching some out. Beautiful grain and finish. Many thanks for sharing.
Thank you Gord. Yes it does work good and not that many have done it from what I could tell.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Great piece. I have some small branch pieces of sumac that i have made into little mushrooms. i was pretty nervous when i was turning that i wouldn't be able to get any sort of finish on it, but it sanded out better than i would have imagined.
Thank you Jordan. Sumac is pretty soft but I love the grain.
Takes a nice finish as well.
Gary
That is a great-looking finish. I've not tried this technique since I normally use shellac sanding sealer. I'm always ready to try something different. Years ago, I wet sanded using poly on cabinet doors which gave good results. My old memory didn't recall this for bowls. Duh!
Thank you Paul Yes the other thing you can use is poly and I have.
Setup time is about the same.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
When you say "need to know" watching becomes mandatory and it certainly wasn't a disappointment Gary.
Looks like my stack of finishing liquids needs another increase!
Thank you Leo, I have a good sized stack of finishes to choose from as well. I have The Minwax in gloss but also have a can of statin I purchased for a desk I made. Actually in the oil and water based. The last water based sanding sealer I bought was in the gallon size. Works out to be $10.00 a quart instead of $18 if I bought a quart at a time.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
