I turn a beautiful piece of Mimosa. The turning part took less than 10 minutes. This not counting the sanding or finishing but that was pretty fast as well.

Boy, as soon as you hit that with sanding sealer it just popped! Beautiful wood! It's amazing how fast some of these small turnings can go, especially when you can turn at a fast speed. Great finish on that little beauty, Gary! Great job, my friend, keep'em coming! 😀 Phil

@ThePapa1947 10 ай бұрын

Thank you Phil. It was looking kind of drab but I knew from the last piece of Mimosa it would wake up. It woke up as nice as can be. Small is good especially after doing the end grain version of this wood. I think it was a bit too much for my shoulder so back to same smaller ones and glue ups. Thanks for watching my friend, Gary

I still find your older videos that I haven’t seen occasionally. Thanks for sharing. Oh by 5he way a quick turn. Our wattle is rather a hard wood and can be difficult at times to turn.

Hi Gary, first time I've seen mimosa turned. We've got one of those, lovely flowers in the spring. Must admit that I thought, as an evergreen, it would be a soft wood and not turn or look very well. But it has an attractive grain. At some future point I may join you in turning Mimosa. Mind you, 'it' could easily outlast me!!! Still, I'm persevering at keeping forever young (not always succeeding)! What is age but a state of mind?

Looks like you are making good use of that log of mimosa wood sent to you. The mimosa has some very distinct and dark rings that make it stand out quite well. Yup, this was quick wood turning. However, doing the end grain turning like the last bowl was challenging due to the hardness. But side turning was much quicker from the same piece of wood. Thanks for sharing, Gary! I like it!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you John. Yes I am using all that I can get out of it. It really is some very pretty wood. I kind of like the look of the side grain better but do like them both. Thanks again, Gary

Thank you Len. It was very fun and relaxing to turn a small piece like this. And then I was rewarded with some pretty cool grain. Thanks for watching, Gary

Interesting, beautiful wood. I just turned a small bowl from Manila Tamarind and it had similar coloration.

@ThePapa1947 10 ай бұрын

Thank you John. I just looked it up and it seems that Manila Tamarind is related to Mimosa if not the same thing. Thanks for watching, Gary

Great job. Thank you for sharing. Total turning time < 10 min for the bowl? Amazing.

Thanks Jeff. I was nice and small and turned real easy. I normally do not even pay attention to how long it takes and was surprised while editing it. Thanks for watching, Gary

@@spindlesworkshop9744 well that makes sense but it sure is cool. When we are are the coast we love to watch the sunset. On one trip to the southern coast many years ago we were still driving and stopped real quick to get the sunset. I got a great picture and did not realize there was a a fishing boat in the picture. That picture is on the wall right in front of me as i type this. No matter where you are the sun rises and the sunsets. Pretty cool!

I have a couple of green turned blanks of Mimisa. One thing I noticed, it makes me cough, so I've taken to wearing a mask while turning it. It does have very nice grain.

@ThePapa1947 9 ай бұрын

Yes I did notice the dust is not pleasant. The overhead air filter helped pull it away. That and a mask helps.
