Proves small can be a great project. I am relatively new to wood turning, but seems to me that the woodturners posting on RU-vid (and the subscribers following them) are a really nice (and generous) bunch of folks willing to share their time and their treasures with others. Thanks.

I thought it was a pot pourri container, as soon as I saw the gift had to be some kind of lid. It was confirmed, to me, when you said you weren't finishing the inside...and such a gracious gift from Joseph, knowing how special hummingbirds are to you! That is one of the most lovely pot pourri lids I have ever seen! Overall, with the container, a delightful creation! Thank you for sharing this piece with us!

Easy to say I guessed what it was, but I did. Then I thought, no, it was too simple a project for a man of your talents. Ya got me. LOL! Love the shape and especially the grain colors, glad you took measures to preserve the look. Thanks for making my Friday Gary.

@ThePapa1947 3 года назад

Great guess Gil! So I was thinking this was going to be a very simple turning. Ha! that wood was so hard I could hardly believe it. I do have a face plate on something that promises to be hard. Maybe it will turn out easy LOL I put the fact place on it 2 months ago and then decided to let it sit a bit longer while I thought about it. Thanks for watching, Gary

@davidnickell9381 3 года назад

I like turning black locust, but recently I had a dead locust fall across a fence. I salvaged all I could that looked like it could be turned. When I put it on the lathe ants and grubs flew all over me. The wood was like trying to turn concrete! Black locust is beautiful wood, but don't let it dry!

@ThePapa1947 3 года назад

You are right about not letting it dry David. I do have a number of pieces left and will turn them. Probably not to many hollow forms. Thanks for watching, Gary

Thank you very much Irma and thanks for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate that. We love hummingbirds and bought two more feeders. And they were out there this morning using them.

Very kind of Joseph to send you the beautiful lid! Wow! The finish you got on that piece is magnificent! I simply must remember to pick up some of the Minwax water based products. I think you said they dry quicker, too? Gotta get on it! Well done, buddy, I really enjoyed the video and the finished piece! 😊 Phil

@ThePapa1947 3 года назад

Thanks Phil and I think I learned the trick for keeping a secret when I was a kid. One of my sisters had gotten me a coat when I was a kid. My mother was so excited she said...Hurry up and open your coat! I past the story on to our kids and they are always kidding with their kids saying the same thing. LOL It is a good memory. Yes the Polycrylic really does work great and simple as it looks to put on. You will have not problems because I put it on just like you do your shellac. Not meant for everything and you can leave it satin by just using your scotch brite pads. Thanks for watching and take care my friend, Gary

Thank you Patricia and the whole time I was making it I was thinking of how thoughtful Joseph was in sending me the lids.

I like locust as well. I used some on a toy box and a toy wagon even my front porch floor since deck boards are more expensive than gold now😂. Here in central Pa the locust trees seem to usually be hollow and full of random voids. I made a decorative crate for my wife for the porch I think looks cool with the many voids.

@ThePapa1947 3 года назад

I bet the front porch deck looks great. What did you finish it with? Voids would look good on the Locust which can have a rustic look. Thanks for watching, Gary

@ThePapa1947 3 года назад

Thank you Vickie and I think more wood turners would love the water based if they tried. I first used it on a table I made our younger son and it has held up good now for years. Figured why not use it on a turning. I was standing near one of the feeders yesterday and a hummingbird flew up to it. I put my hand out within 18 inches and it did not fly away. Maybe next time it will land on my hand. Thanks for watching, Gary

Thank you Rick! I think in these times it can be hard to see but it is there. And it came at just the right time for me. How did you like the Black Locust? It is a very pretty wood and I have turned a bit. This piece was aged so it was harder than most. But 2 years a go I turned some and it was still a bit green. But it was end grain and one of the hardest projects I have done. But worth it.

Thank you Billy, I just checked and you can get them at www.pennstateind.com/ Just search for lid pewter and they will popup. And I bet you will be able to make some very nice ones. JUST DONT USE BLACK LOCUST LOL It was very hard wood and any wood will work and look great. Take care, Gary

@@billy19461 yes I was surprised to see the very same one.

Thanks so much! I was hopping others would be as happy as I was with the kindness. Take care. Gary

That's a really well done piece. Sorry, I couldn't guess! For me, that made the end result more fun. The combination of finishes really made it pop! I like it a lot!

@ThePapa1947 3 года назад

Thank you Max and I agree that waiting to the end is more fun. Happy you liked it and the finish. Take care, Gary

I just watched your video. I love the potpourri holder. That was so kind of the gentleman to send you that. You definitely used it in a beautiful way 😍 Thank you for sharing! -Tanya

@ThePapa1947 3 года назад

Thank you very much Tanya. Yes it was very kind of him to send the lids and I really enjoyed making the potpourri bowl for. I wanted to use something that would not take away from the lid but still look good under it. The Black Locust did not let me done. I am still amazed at the beauty in the wood. I appreciate you watching and commenting. I also notice you have a channel and watched your video on the Olive Wood give away. Very beautiful bowl. I just subscribed as well. Take care, Gary

@alinmayerthorpe7801 3 года назад

Lovely bowl Gary and I guessed it quite early in your turning because I make a lot of potpourri bowls! I segment mine but your solid piece of locust really stands out and your finish is one I am going to try soon, thanks for another good one! Cheers Al

@ThePapa1947 3 года назад

Thank you Al, and I was thinking of making mine a segmented turning and still might on the second lid that Joseph sent. Thanks for watching, Gary

@tuffymartinez 3 года назад

Thank You Gary....I could not guess what you were doing (i love a mystery). Black Locust is Neat-o stuff! "feels like Marble", and it sure looks like Marble (i need to find some of that stuff for future projects). Another fun video Gary that I did not know until you put the lid on it. Until next Friday morning....TM

Thank you tuffy! To tell you the truth looking at how it is spelled I had no idea how it is pronounced. All those trick words to confuse us. Take care, Gary

Thank you so much for a great video. I'm a hobby woodturner and have some black locust in storeage and I also use Minwax so I must get turning.

@ThePapa1947 3 года назад

Thank you Alan, I do love the grain in Black Locust. Yes by all means get some of that wood out turn it. Did you know that Black Locust will have a fluorescence glow under a black light? Thanks for watching, Gary

@jonperley7304 Год назад

That's beautiful Gary! There's Black Locust that grows here in my neighborhood in Maine it's not native but it grows like a weed here. I been going to try turning some now I know what it looks like I'm going to cut some up and give it a whirl on the lathe!!! From Happy wood turnings here at Ducklake Maine!👍

@ThePapa1947 Год назад

Thank you Jon. It is a pretty hard wood when it is completely dry. But still well worth turning. I turned a lot when it was fresh and it did ok. Still pretty hard but turns nice. Have fune, Gary
