  • This was a very green and wet Magnolia log. A rather soft wood with some interesting grain, But wait till you see what I found on the inside.
    The turning part took less than 36 minutes so if you have not tried turning fresh green wood you are in for a treat.

    Sèeing your magnolia bowl turning just now is timely for me, as I recently acquired a number of magnolia blanks from a tree my son & I trimmed at his house. The same house I grew up in. It was one of my mother's favorite yard trees, so there are sentimental memories attached to the blanks.
    Thanks for showing me how to deal with turning magnolia wood. Now I'm eager to turn it and gift it to my son & wife. Might even try to make a keepsake turning for our 1-1/2 yr old grandson to memorialize his great grandparents for him.
    Thanks,

    Nice frog, Gary! The bowl is real nice too! 😃😃 I was surprised how thin you turned it when there might be movement in the wood. But then that’s why you’re the expert and I’m not! Great video my friend. Keep them coming. 👍👍👍
    Take care,

    • @ThePapa1947
      @ThePapa1947  2 года назад

      Thank you Gord. Well I had not idea how it would act getting thin but it stayed running true all the way till I was done.
      It did warp a bit after I let it dry in front of the fan. But it is only 3/32" out of round right now and that is a week later.
      Very interesting and fun wood to turn.
      Thanks for watching and by the way. I poured a bag of Smarties in it but figured I would eat them too fast so I put them back in the bag. I have a smaller bowl planned just for that LOL.
      Take care my friend,

      Oh yes it was sure fun making all the curly fries. Oh wait...curly fries and frog legs, now I know what is for lunch!

    Yep, it’s a frog. I’m still amazed at how many won’t even attempt to remove the nub by turning it. I really believe that slowing down for the final removal is the key. I love turning magnolia. You did a beautiful job with this piece. Thanks for sharing.

      Thank you Leo. The tree was huge and it was uphill out of his back yard. Even with a wheel barrel it was not easy.
      But I will check and see if he still has some. I think the plan was to have a lot taken away by the tree service. I will check next week when I bring him this bowl. Darn that means I will be giving away my frog...OH NO!

    explanation. Thumbs up.

    Papa,
    Definitely a frog 🐸. I too have no idea what the darker staining is, but it is inside and outside, so I believe it is natural to the wood. I did especially enjoy the way the contrast between light and dark popped as soon as you started the first coat of sanding sealer.
    Thank you for a most enjoyable afternoon interlude. Keep the aspidistra flying!

    Hi Gary, another lovely bowl and super video, thank you - I always learn so much watching you. I turned 3 small bowls from seasoned branches of magnolia which grew in my garden (Nottingham, UK). Like yours, they have great grain patterns, and also (being much smaller) some 'blemishes' and bark. I am very pleased with how they turned out, the magnolia was good to work, and took the finish well. Amazingly, 1 of the 'blemishes' finished in the shape of a crown, I have no idea how, but very apt as I turned it on the weekend of our Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
    PS, Yes, I see your frog!

Lovely finish on the bowl too. Thanks for sharing & stay safe & well my friend. Don from South Aust.

I should have collected some of that wood for turning. But, I was too busy taking care of two large Black Jack oak trees that were blown over. That wood even when green is tough turning. It’s only good for fire wood IMHO.
