Very interesting vlog 😊I was so curious about turning wet wood, I'll be watching more of your videos. Thank you 😊

I love how Cherry darkens as it ages. 👍🇺🇸

Crazy that it did not crack, I think I’ll try the oil sanding trick, keep those great vids coming

Beautiful popcorn bowl. Cheers mr Gary 👍 💯

Good job, Gary, explaining your process, the sanding tips, drying and finishing WITHOUT CRACKS! Just amazing, my friend. Good looking useful bowl, too! Thanks for not making us wait months for the second turning! 😊 Phil

I actually twice turn all the green wood. I'm going to give this a try too. Thanks for the explanation.

A very pretty bowl. It looked like nice wood to turn. Good work!

Lovely bowl and a Really useful video. Thanks Enjoy your popcorn.

Hi Gary, that bowl looks cherry!! 😀 great tips buddy, I love Howard finishes! Thanks for sharing! Have a good one!

Very nice bowl and very informative thank you Larry

I think I'd have to say that I really enjoy your intricate segmented designs, but I also love when you (and Uncle Phil), allow the wood to 'speak', and review what it wants to be.🕊️☮️✌️

Glad it didn't crack Cherry is a pretty wood, not seen sanding done like that before looks like a good tip, I have turned green Oak and that can warp but still look good.

Jim I enjoy turning green wood

You make a beautiful and neat wooden bowl

Another M & M bowl,lol.Love it!

Very nice! Cherry is one of my favorite woods to turn.

That little bowl really popped when you put the finish on it. Well done Gary. 👍🏻

Thanks for sharing this, I’ve got some cherry that I think I’ll try this method out with. Thanks!!! ✌️❤️🍻🖖

Mineral oil, on my things to buy list, thanks Papa!

Beautiful bowl Gary!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

We've been in the rain n clouds for about 2wks here in mi.I'm impatient too.i want it done asap.looks good.

Gonna try it. I turn a lot of wet wood. Interested in seeing the results with what I have. Thank you for sharing.

Agree. Part of a hand-turned wooden bowl is the character, color, cracks n all! I never wait either - nice looking bowl 👍

Hi that’s a very nice cherry bowl thanks for your video.

Thanks you very much for the advice like hi said before hi learning something a very time hi watch you turned you are a great teacher

I like Cherry, and the sanding idea is cool.

Nice Video Gary 👍😀

So you obviously like popcorn, Papa G... a lot! Beautiful turning ❣️👍✌️

Gary what a nice experiment and a nice bowl. You are correct it will make a nice popcorn bowl but like you not big enough for me.

That is very nice Gary. good tip on mineral oil and sanding my friend thank you 🙏🏽

Liked the mineral oil idea.

Lovely looking project, well done.

Nice! Lately I've been using Butcher Block on the inside and Fed & Wax on the outside. Love the stuff.

Had my share of cracks with wet cherry. will have to try the mineral oil trick. Nice piece and thanks for sharing.

Beautiful piece, I love the look of cherry

This bowl is very nice. The wood has a lot of character with the different colors. I really like it! Great work! Bravo!

Very well done Gary

Hi Gary, thank's for your video,after seeing it I will try your recipe. 👍

Great looking bowl Gary.

Thank You Gary.... Having fun in your shop while the storm is raging outside. Your Monsoon Bowl and I am surprised how quickly (3 to 4 days) you were able to go from wet wood to dry bowl. I am looking forward to next Fridays show (it sounds like it will be very interesting). .... TM

Thanks, Gary. As I'm sure I've mentioned before, I just began my wood turning journey. My first project was a set of chopsticks. Purple heart, otherwise plain and entirely serviceable. My second project was a bowl, intended to be about 6"dia. by 4" deep. I was using a piece of what I jokingly called snot pine. It might be oak, it might be maple but it surely is snot pine. Once I got into it it turned out to be punky oak, loaded with worm holes. By the time I ha peeled away the punk it ended up as a saucer about 4"x 1 1/2". I had decided I was on on my last pass with the gouge and would go to the scraper when I got a catch in the corner and the part tore from my chuck in more pieces than even the most creative use of CA could cure. That was it, I was out of wood. SoI grabbed a hand saw, stepped out the door and stopped at the first tree I came to. When I looked it up it turned out to be "speckled alder", about 6" at the base. I took it down, cut four feet of the bottom and have been happily making it into wet chips ever since. Probably need another length after this next weekend. But again, thank you, you gave me some great tips to keep my projects from cracking.

That was awesome! Great job. 💫🪵

Great looking bowl, Gary!

Great results Gary!

I use a dogwood bowl I made for my popcorn and the more I use it, the prettier it gets.

Not big enough for your popcorn?!? Now I know we would get along well, Gary. That bowl is barely big enough for my Smarties, my friend!! LOL! That is a really beautiful bowl. I can’t wait for next weeks video! I am really looking forward to winning - I mean entering - your contest. 😂🤣😂🤣 this was another great video, Gary! 👍👍👍 Take care, my friend. Happy turning, …..Gord

Gary, you made another bowl that is simply beautiful and beautifully simple.

Great looking bowl Gary. I don't like waiting either, but I only recently got some green wood to turn. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful piece. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍❤️

A danged pretty little turning and I'm looking forward to your surprise next week. Oh yeah, my baby boy lives up in Seattle and said he was darned near washed out to sea by the last set of storms! Thankfully, he can swim quite well.

HI Phil beautiful cherry wood. nice and simple makes a change from compilcated bowls. lol

Hi Gary Always nice to turn green wood 😁 Beautiful video very interesting and informative 👍😉 Take care my friends 🙏 Morgan

I like wet wood turning also. It is a challenge preventing cracking. My son in law brought me several cherry logs from family land and made 3 live edge bowls as Christmas presents for his family. They loved it. Thx for great videos.

Pretty bowl , I like every thing you do. You and Phill our Buddy have really helped me with my turning. Thanks Buddy ❤️

I have been wondering about turning green wood and found this work very interesting.

Cherry is so pretty and turns so easily. I love the idea of wet sanding with mineral oil.

Awesome light weight bowl nicely turning green wood first time I have seen, take care Gary.

Cherry is very pretty. It’s good to know that it didn’t crack using the mineral oil

Good new ideas Thanks.

Thx for the tip with mineral oil and sanding

Really great info in your videos Gary! I can learn so much. Great video and bowl!

wow Very nice bowl and finish!

I like bowls with bark on them. The bowls with a lot of bark are even better. I also like the bowl you turned today. I never knew that mineral oil would help with sanding. I try to learn something new every day.

Good evening, Gary. Great video. I love turning wet wood but don't like waiting for it to dry so I can finish it. Your tips may be helpful in my next wet project. Your cherry made a beautiful bowl. Thumbs up.

.....about as 'natural' as it gets. I love it!

I love your turnings,and it brings a lot of enjoyment to you and those that watch your skilled and masterful hands at work , creating beautiful and unique art , thanks for sharing your time and talent ,

That came out really nice. Thx for sharing.

Very very pretty bowl. Glad you found a way to keep the wood from cracking.

Very nice bowl!

It worked out well. Most people talk about cherry having such a high tendency to crack. You just showed that cherry can be turned wet and dried over a day or two without a bunch of problems. Very nice little bowl. Great job of turning and drying it.

Very pretty bowl and a great bunch of tips to deal with green wood, thanks Gary! Cheers Al

Looks great

Great bowl brother! I was searching finished wet wood and this popped up. Thanks for posting it! I have a live edge Bradford pear on the lathe now and got it to 1/4" and it's pretty wet. Going to try your menthod.

Awesome.

Thanks again for sharing!!

Hi Gary! Impressive fir trees, and impressive turning of that wet green cherry 👍🏻 I am surprised by how little it moved in the drying box, and no crack at all 😎 Well done with the sanding, too 👏🏻 Lovely bowl, beautiful wood and surely the popcorn will look great in it, even if not for long 😉 Well done, Gary, take care!

Great job!

What Phil Anderson said!! Nice to see someone deviate from the tried and true and find new methods!

Great tip Gary!!, you've taught me so much about turning, thanks so much!

Very beautiful Gary outstanding as always I love Cherrywood can’t wait until next weeks project maybe I’ll get lucky and win it take care and God bless

That turned out really nice. I was doing the same turning when I got a catch that loosened my small face plat by bending the screws. Then I realised that I did not bring up the tail stock to support my bowl. Well lesson learned. Thanks Tim

Hmm, mineral oil as a drying fortifier ? Gonna try that when I need to force dry something. Who'd'a thunk it ! Thanks Gary👍 And wet sanding ? Makes the paper last longer, run cooler (can run higher RPMs), scratches show easier - all good. But it can be messy slinging stuff about don't you think ? Take care. -Mike🙏

Great job, wonderful results!! Love that natural looking finish!!

On wet bowls like this I use Mahoney's oil for the sanding. When I'm done the Mahoney's is already in there and no more finish necessary. After a couple of days I buff the piece to get a good shine.

Thanks for showing the green wood techniques.

Really nice

WOW Gary what a Great finished piece 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Very nice Gary I like a good green bowl cuts like butter.

Very nice

thanks for the mineral oil tip I'll give it a go

Love the bowl and thanks for the information on how you worked on the wet wood. You added a lot of knowledge for me to use on a few pieces of fresh cuts I’m getting ready to do

Great job Gary! the grain is just beautiful. Love that natural looking finish take care Dave

That really beautiful

Looking good Gary, cherry is one of my favorites. Keep up the great work!

Awesome grain

Beautiful Bowl Gary! And thanks for the sanding wet wood tips, those were definitely some tall scary looking trees swaying around your place, it’s not a good feeling when the storms come rolling in, And I bet that was lots of fun on the ATV, I used to go 4 wheeling quite a bit, That’s a cool looking place, Enjoyed the video 👍

I'm fairly new to turning (started August 2020) and have only completely finished about 50 bowls to date and have used Howard's Butcher block conditioner on nearly all of them. I love how it brings out the grain in the wood. Thanks for sharing! Stuart

Love the shape of the bowl and the Cherry grain is really beautiful. Another fine result. Appreciate you sharing some new sanding techniques!

Toujours un plaisir de regarder tes vidéos Gary bravo 👍👏🇨🇭

I'm new to turning and I'm still experimenting with fallen branches in the neighborhood. It's great to see how well green wood can turn out (oh, that's a pun!). 👍
