I cut up two strips of Koa given to me by viewer Rick.
I cut the pieces so the best of the grain would show.

I confess that I'm feeling some envy. I wish someone would give me some Koa, so I wouldn't have to spend $350 plus shipping to get some from Hawaii. Good for you Gary!

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

A few years ago a friend had a box of wood sent from Hawaii. A shop that sells exotic wood will send a priority box full. There were 4 nice pieces of Koa.

@scottbeilsmith4261 5 месяцев назад

Absolutely love this bowl Gary. The chatoyance of the Koa is amazing. That was very nice of Rich to send that to you. Thanks for sharing and take care.

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Scott. He actually hand delivered it to me. His son lives right down the road from me.

Hi Gary. Beautiful turning, I love the wood grain of the koa. As always thank you for sharing!

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Hi Gary. Your segmented bowls always look spectacular. Sorry to hear you were a bit off colour this week. thanks for the tip about not putting pressure on the segments until they were all aligned. It's the litle things that make the difference. As always, its much appreciated your sharing of your talents and videos. Thanks Bruce

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Thanks you Bruce. For sure with lots of segments some can setup and even if they are small be hard to move and get fresh glue and get flat again. Thanks for watching. Gary

@drgruber57 5 месяцев назад

Wow! The flash of the chatoyance when it was on the turntable at the end!

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Pretty cool isn't it. Nature at her best.

@spindlesworkshop9744 5 месяцев назад

Rick is such a good person! Gary I love this piece! Great job as always!!

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Yes Rick is a very nice guy. When I met him this time I told him it would be segments. I met him about a year ago for the first time.

@rickchapman3051 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Gary. You had mentioned that you were working on this. I had no idea how nice it would look in the end. Very very nice. Made it worth me bringing it back in my suit case. 😂. I love segmented bowls, but I really like it when someone else does all of the work.

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Rick. Always fun turning something that was in a suitcase. A friend of mine di this but only came from California. Thanks again for this wood and the wood from last week. Gary

The chatoyance is spectacular. It looks like the bowl is made from mirrors. Nice job.

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Thank you very much! Yes it sure does light up. Thanks for watching. Gary

@ianm6891 5 месяцев назад

Very Nice Gary! Koa is so special, glad you made the most of it using segments. Thank you for making a shape with curves and not a traditional bowl. Do wish you had spend a bit more time showing how you cut out a multi-cuved interior of the bowl. Hope you fell better quickly!

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Ian. Sorry about not showing much on the inside. I just needed to get it done. I think my voice reflected that. I will be sure and show more on the next one. Gary

Thank you Dale. Almost like it has a built in light panel. Thanks for watching, Gary

@gabrielc6252 5 месяцев назад

Light bounces of the segments almost as if they are flat. Amazing 🙂

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Thank you very much. Yes it is amazing how these pieces work with the light. Thanks for watching, Gary

@paulsandeen2754 5 месяцев назад

Looking at your finished piece of Koa is the reason why turners do segmented turning. Every turning is different and the sheen (my not be spelled right) is much more evident. It may take longer to glue up and balance each ring but the end result is spectacular! I never know what it will look like until it done. Very nice piece.

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Paul. I find it very important to have the grain showing tbe best. It can all be lost in a glue joint. Thanks for watching and commenting. Gary

@markbrown1011 5 месяцев назад

Mahalo Gary, Koa is one of my favorites. Beautiful bowl, nice shape and size. I'm glad you're feeling better , keep up the good work.

Hi Gary Loved the proses of hluing the rings, and the way the light hits the segments, amazing.

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Jim. Pretty amazing piece of wood for sure. Gary

@jerrystark6766 5 месяцев назад

The Koa is a real stunner. I think you made good use of the wood by creating a segmented bowl, too. The light plays across it beautifully. Thanks for the video.

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Jerry koa is a very special wood. The light plays nicely with the grain. Thanks for watching, Gary

@jayscott306 5 месяцев назад

That chatoyancy, Gary! What an eye catcher. You've made another incredible piece. Our club demonstrated segmented turning, this week. Thanks to you, I learned very little. :) Be well!

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Jay. Well take that "Little" you learned and expand on it. Have fun my friend, Gary

@jayscott306 5 месяцев назад

@@ThePapa1947 Oh, we have a great club. But I've learned a lot more from you and the others on RU-vid. The connections in person are the big reason to be part of it.

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

That makes a lot of sense. I never have belonged to any clubs. I have to admit that I have as much fun figuring things out as doing it. As a wood patternmaker I was given drawings that had never been made before. Guess it stuck with me.

@jayscott306 5 месяцев назад

@ThePapa1947 I get that. Prior to turning, I'd only done a bit of carpentry and building an ice fishing shack with my dad, in 1994. I watched my grandfather, who was a very skilled woodworker, but never really gained any understanding. So my beginning meant I benefited from mentorship. Grateful for those incredible, generous, men who got me going, successfully.

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

@@jayscott306 total understand what you are saying. A club is a good way to see how things can be done. You will need to pick what works the best for you. My first turning was in 1961. Once I did my two years I the Army my first turning as an apprentice was almost 6 inch diameter. The next was 6 foot in diameter. With many pump and valve bodies from 10-26 inch diameter. These all had to match supplied drawings. I think a club is a wonderful for you. tool.

@tompuskar4426 5 месяцев назад

Looks great Gary. Good use of the wood blanks.

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Tom. I had to think about it for a long time. Other option was a bowl from a board. But this way those segments did the talking. Gary

@OldMtnGeezer 5 месяцев назад

Beautiful, Gary! Great use of an exquisite piece of wood. When my soulmate & I were in the botanical gardens in Kauai several years back, there were huge solid Koa park benches 10' or 12' long, 20" or so wide, & probably 8" thick. Made this old woodworker downright salivate! (Thought briefly about sneaking a couple into the overhead bins for the flight back, but......)

Completely understandable. Cool design and WOW, what a finish! Really nice job, my friend! I hope you are well and feeling much better. 😊 Phil

Beautiful Gary! I’ve been away the last couple of weeks so missed a bunch. We were in Mexico for a while then up to the Cariboo area of BC to help my son in law reno their new house (with more to come). I absolutely love Koa. I have a Taylor Koa guitar that looks as amazing as it sounds. What a great idea to segment that piece in order to make a gorgeous bowl. As it’s turning it looks like mirror tiles sparkling. So glad you are feeling better in order to do these more complex turnings!! Cheers, Rick

Beautiful piece Gary and very informative video. I'm not a segment turner but I think I have a decent enough setup to give it a whirl someday. My lathe has a swiveling headstock and I didn't know how much I would appreciate that feature until I started using it. I now use it on almost any kind of hollowing. Love your videos

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Garth. A friend we volunteered with use to live in Hawaii. Her friends had a shop where they sold wood. She had them send me a proximity box filled with some cool wood. Couple nice pieces of KOA. I made my friend a beautiful segmented bowl from one of the pieces. Thanks for watching, Gary

Wow Gary amazing chatoyance. I’m not much for water-based Minwax, but this is beautiful.

@ThePapa1947 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Kevin. I use anything that works good for me. But it needs to fit the look I want. If you were to look at the soccer ball I made I used the water based on it. It still looks the same as it did when I finished it. But I get it you need to use what you like the best. What is your favorite? Gary

@kevinbooth2063 5 месяцев назад

Gary, Lately I have been using waterlux satin and gloss. The only downside is side is the dry time between coats and the cost. On some of my crotch bowls which have embossed pictures I use lacquer. I should give the water base a try again sometime . It could have been my application process that made it turn out like it had pimples all over.

Good use of your wood. I always enjoy watching your segmented bowl videos. How does the toasted (or roasted??) oak turn compared to regular white oak?

Thank you Stuart. The roasted oak chips easy and does not have much strength. Gary

Hi Gary, Very beautiful! By chance I just finished a KOA wood segmented bowl myself...it's exceptional wood. In my case it was to be a salad bowl, so I used a food-safe penetrating finish...but I do love the look that you achieved with the water-based poly. How long do you leave a ring on in the Longworth jaws before pulling them back and glueing on the next ring? Thanks!

I would say maybe 5 minutes for most of the time. Just be sure the rings are flat. So do you plan on putting salad in the bowl? With dressing on it? Just curious.

@@ThePapa1947 Hi Gary. The KOA segmented bowl was made as a gift, and I very much hope it will be used! I put a food safe penetrating finish on it, and salad dressing oils will keep it looking good. Thanks for asking!

Very Nice Gary! One question - How long do you wait from adding a ring with glue, to turning? This is still new to me. From one Papa to another Papa.. Lowell

Thank you Lowell. I will sometimes wait 5 minutes then add another ring. But not really putting a shape on. Just getting it flat. Most of the time 15 minutes and it is ready to shape.
