I am fortunate to have neighbors with large Black Walnut trees. I am also unfortunate to have neighbors with black walnut trees that flank my back yard. Fortunate that they happily gift me free wood. Unfortunate that they also give me free walnuts. Those little buggers hide in the grass while mowing and will twist an ankle every time. Fortunately, the wood is nice to turn bowls, hollow vessels, and platters. Even made some nice spoons from several branches that also fall into my yard. I do make them something for the wood they give me. I have noticed that it can be fractured easily on the lathe but is a solid piece once turned. As you have so demonstrated on this stunning bowl. Well done Marine, just incredible. From one veteran to another, Aim High...

LOL, yes indeed, a blessing and a curse! The squirrels sure love them. I do too, but they're a real pain to crack open. Wonderful wood to work with though. I've got a few loved ones in the Air Force. Semper Fi!

Thanks, brother, much appreciated! Semper Fi

I have always been using Black Walnut in many of my wood working jobs. I have also sawmilled many Black Walnut logs on my sawmills in upstate New York. Living in South Carolina now but will be moving back up north this fall. Great Bowl, my first bowl I am working on now is Ambrosia Maple.

Great bowl!! I love ACKS as well!!, it makes our work look even better, thanks....

@lyndaowen2154 Год назад

I think it turned out gorgeous. I’ve never seen would like that. Seem pretty hard wood watching you turn it but it is beautiful. Good work. Thank you for sharing.

@michaelhofer9149 4 года назад

I think the natural notch in the sidewall actually added to the beauty of the piece! Very nice indeed!

@davidtidswell8374 Год назад

Great resilience in the face of disappointment; original intentions don't always have to come about. That's beautiful work and you're right about how the rim works out well.

@prsearls 4 года назад

Another beautiful bowl with gorgeous grain and tones. Its final shape is very interesting and attractive, too. Your videos are top quality with good lighting, composition and audio that displays your techniques very well. I'm a photographer hobbyist (60+ years) so I recognize good work. I also second "any Caliber"s" comments. You are a wonderful teacher to us. Your humble style and explanations are especially pleasing and appealing. You make turning look so easy which is the mark a true artist and craftsman. Thanks for your service from another vet (USAF 1963-67).

@infantryveteran2636 4 года назад

Such a generous and humble man!! I have no doubt the "turners" that you highlight are just as thankful for you as you are for them! And this is another beautiful piece of art!!

Dear Mr. Humphrey... Thank you! I came across one of your videos, by accident. While I'm not a wood turner, was so impressed I searched and "binge watched" many of your other videos. Thank you.

That is a very nice asymmetric bowl, beautiful wood. I have to admit I love it when you guys dig out the bark and put some colourful epoxy in then turn it, epoxy addicts anonymous meeting tonight.

@RHumphrey 4 года назад

I like to play with resin occasionally... I've got one brewing now as a matter of fact, but don't know when I'll upload it. Thank you!

@suziefisk6585 4 года назад

Beautiful bowl. My husband and I enjoy watching your videos. Only been turning for about 3 months now. He’s really enjoying something new in his workshop.

@karenperson6090 4 года назад

Beautiful! My grandparents had a huge black walnut tree in their back yard. We would swing high into its branches on the swing my grandfather built and work hard to get the nuts from the hard shell. Wonderful childhood memories.

I learned your technique for defining the natural edge with parting tool watching this video about a year ago. Thanks for the lesson. I use it a lot and really like to watch you create.

@shaunfelton2046 4 года назад

Stunning natural piece!

@philhorakjr1652 3 года назад

I just got a 14d"...3 legged crotch of black walnut! Thanks for the video inspiring me more so.

@busterwest1644 4 года назад

What I like most about your videos is that, as I am very new to woodturning, you explain your rational as you go along and include tool selection. That is a treamendous help for us newbies. Added to that, you take the odd upset on the chin, I know as a design opportunity, (I have had a few lol) and move on to produce a stunning piece, one you should be extreemely proud of.. I would be. Thank you so much for your chanel, your easy manner of instruction and with such a laid back easy presentation, your inspire others to try and boost confidence . Wishing you and your family a great Christmas and Happy New Year.

@junebatty5503 4 года назад

@beebob1279 4 года назад

I do enjoy watching the turning presentations. I have a maple burl drying after a tree fell last fall. I have a cherry burl that will be coming off the tree this coming Monday. My father was a wood shop teacher and taught me to turn years ago. I'm trying to get the time back to start turning on the lathe again. I need to watch some more videos on turning to bring back what I've forgotten. I'm starting out with easy turning activities and then building up to the more difficult challenges.

@dwbrasfieldful 4 года назад

Fantastic work Rod. You are the very reason I began turning. I purchased a lathe and turned my first bowl April 20, this year and I haven't stopped yet. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and teaching new turners like my self how to do it. Thank you sir.

It is a beautiful bowl and I figured out who you are, you are the Bob Ross of wood turning! Thank you for sharing!

@davidurban1279 2 года назад

I like natural turnings. It's more challenging than a lot of other turnings and I think the results are usually prettier.

@haroldlacey7882 Год назад

Haven't read all the comments but as far as I went I was surprised that no one caught that you save that beautiful walnut from the fire. The reason I say that is you shouldn't burn walnut it gives off toxic fumes. Ever noticed that very few plants will grow around a walnut. Semper Fi for my son (20) and Aim High for me (4.5).

@judylucas7596 2 года назад

I recommend using a sand o flex for the bark and natural edge bowls, watch Phil Anderson at shady acres woodshop he uses them quite often on his turning. Nice bowl by the way, Randy Lucas.

@setphaser 4 года назад

wow those shavings are like chocolate! this is a really lovely piece i’m glad you saved it from the fire

@andrewspeight6973 4 года назад

Very very nice Rod. Here in Alabama, we don't find any walnut laying around and it is a great wood to work with. As for the Ack's pastes, I would like to add that not only is it a great product, and I have purchased it a number of times, but that the people are extremely honest and reputable. They care about quality and customer satisfaction. A product and company that you should have no scruples about "supporting" in any way you choose. Thanks again for your quiet, straightforward and artistically educational presentation. Andrew

@davidnielsen4490 4 года назад

Good morning Rod. This is a beautiful piece of workmanship. I agree with you regarding the contrast of the sap wood to the heart wood on walnut. May you and your family have a blessed and Merry Christmas. May the LORD bless you greatly in this coming year.

@youmasajp 3 года назад

Removing the bark from the edge was the best thing that happen, so the beauty of the piece can shine without defects.

@Benjaminwolf 2 года назад

Beautiful bowl!

@Rhinnoman1 4 года назад

Very very nice. I am glad to see some one else has a problem with bark from time to time. Great job. Some woods do look better with no bark. Even just part on the bark can make a bowl look better.
