Nice! Great looking bowl

I can imagine how much work that was to turn. It really did not want to be a turned project. Glad the branch did not make the piece fly apart after all the work. Well done.

Beautiful work. Thank you.

I really think the bottom will grow on you. Great job as always. Any imperfections makes a piece unique.

Very nice bowl. Love that grain and shine. Keep up the amazing work.👽

Another beautiful bowl from a simple board, nice work😅

Hi Gary You have thought me all I know about segmented turning Thank You.I want to turn a big bowl from Maple and Wallnut boards.Do I have to cut 2 sets of each row and woods on my wedgie sled to get a brick and mortar pattern to get the table saw fault to line up the angles Thanks Peter

Very beautiful!

It’s been too long since I’ve seen you do a turning and it’s a great inspiration! I’ve been remodeling my shop for the past many months and it’s been really wearing me down it’s been one surprise after another but I’m reminded why I’m doing all this hard work when I see you create something so beautiful and eventually I will be creating beautiful works in my shop when it’s complete.

Nice work!! Very cool outcome.

That is a Very Cool Bowl. I think the Crack/Bark Inclusion? on the bottom of the bowl just adds to the character of the bowl.

Well, according to Robohippy, this one is definitely art. 😃 Not every turning has to hold soup. Great job as usual Gary!

That is absolutely beautiful sir!

Gary. Thank you for another great turning. Its always great to see you make beautiful projects out of a piece of a log

What a great learning and inspiring set of videos you make! Keep up the good work!

Très joli travail, bravo ! (un salut amical d'un tourneur Français)

Well done, Gary

Um I have a tree like this. What good is it? Other then looking at it. Should I sell it?

Well, I love it…the bottom adds so much character! This is exactly the kind of piece I love to turn …cracks, knots and all!

Здравствуйте, Гэри! Хорошая работа!

It's hard to improve on nature's beauty and this turning illustrated that. You did it right, as usual. Thanks.

What is your "go to" software? Thank You

Just love it. Thanks for sharing the story and expertise.

Yes, a difficult turning. Good to have a reference on how quickly out normally sharp tools can become dull on specific woods or grain.

Why not get rid of the horrible bit at the bottom find a bit of wood that will contrast well and make a bottom?

Nice job Very cool Piece Gary!😎 Definitely looked like some hard stuff to cut, I could feel it just watching ya, got some nice character, pretty cool potato skin features, I looked for some faces but couldn’t see any but there is probably some definitely hiding in there, sometimes some takes longer to look at before ya see it, I got a piece of pecan, I don’t know if it’s burl or just some crazy looking something but anyway I had it kikin around in the house for probably a year, looked at it one day at a certain angle and it looks just like a camel 🐪 head,

Pretty cool Gary!

Very nice turning on a very difficult piece of wood! I always learn a lot watching your videos and this was no exception. Thank you again for all your hard work and sharing it with us!

Very unique! I really like it! I'm afraid the branch on the inside bottom of the bowl looks like a rat with a short tail to me. I love it, but I'm afraid some wouldn't.

Light and strong. Nice demo Papa. Best regards. 🙃

I love it

Natural beauty, hard work paid off, some great markings, nature at its best. All the best from Lincolnshire UK

I'm so glad you turned that burl. It is absolutely beautiful.

It's a beautiful piece, Gary! They don't all have to hold soup!😅 Sometimes, we just need to create pieces that are pleasing to the eye and the soul! Thanks for the video. Well done!!

This is a beautiful piece of wood. It was very educational to see you work with the interior structure and study the grain as you formed the piece!

Love it. You just never know what is hidden inside. I really thought that was a burl, but it turns out to be a healed over branch. Beautiful grain. Great work.

Great job! I Like it!!

Well Gary you certainly fought the good fight on this one. The end result is gorgeous. Take care my friend and looking forward to the segmented video. Hwyl, Huw

Beautiful bowl, and it sure has some nice grain in it with a very unique bottom, awesome job of finishing on a very good looking piece, well done and thanks! cheers Al

nice boql

I like the bottom. At first, I thought it could be filled with dyed epoxy (some color other than black), that would draw one's eye, but it already does. inspiring

That looks amazing.

Thank you for sharing!!!

Wow that was an interesting one turned out really nice Q I was wondering what angles do you use for your negative rake scraper?

I have mixed emotions about this one. The outside is great. Just no sure about the bottom inside. Regardless, thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

Truly wonderful to watch and a beauty when finished!

A cracking piece Gary. Really nice looking bit of wood. Love the shape. Good to see you plodding on with stuff. Keep keeping well & stay safe my friend 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nice job! It came out fine.

The grain is awesome Gary. Very unusual bottom, but that is what the wood gave you -- it is still an awesome bowl with unique character. The orientation you chose was the right choice; it preserved that really awesome figure.

I think it's beautiful. If you want perfect,make a blob of resin and turn it into a bowl.
