WOW Juniper Gets A Wood Turning Make Over
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 11. 2023
- Juniper is a very pretty wood but not without issues. But the colors make it worth turning.
I find it very dusty and even without my limited sense of smell this stuff is very strong and irritating.
Switching to a dusk mask with charcoal filter solved that issue.

What gorgeous colors in that Juniper, Gary! Absolutely gorgeous, my friend. I loved watching it come to life! 👏👏👏
Take care,
…..Gord
Thank you very much Gord. I do love the colors in this wood even though it is a bit of a finicky wood to turn.
Take care my friend,
Gary
Learned a new word-chatoyance. I especially liked the contrast in colours and the unusual shape. Well done. 👍
Thanks so much Lee Ann.
I appreciate you watching and commenting .
Gary
Wow Gary. From ugly duckling to beautiful swan! Amazing!
Thank you my friend. For awhile there I was thinking it was going to stay a duck. Then I stopped thinking what I wanted and went with what was there.
Take care.
Gary
Excellent “makeover” on this chunk of Juniper. Tricky to work with, you pulled a very nice piece out of the less than perfect shaped blank. Glad you are feeling better. See you again next week!
Thank you Valerie, for the longest time I was sure I wanted to turn this big chunk as an end grain turning.
Sure glad I went this way with it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Well this had been up for about 6 hours before I got to it. By now just about everything that can be said has been. I cannot disagree with the comments I have read so far. It's an outstanding piece of work. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe. Remember, when the wood goes around, the face shield goes down.🙂🙂
Thank you very much Glen. What you said is much appreciated.
Take care,
Gary
Juniper is obviously a gorgeous wood with great colors, Gary! I like this one a great deal, my friend.
Take care,
…..Gord
Thanks so much Gord. I see you borrowed SWMBO acount.
Hope you are doing well my friend,
Gary
Wow, that is a really nice piece of wood, the red is awesome. It really turned out nicely, a very rustic looking piece that would be a great decorative piece. That bit of chatoyance really is quite stunning.
Thank you Mark. For sure I was looking forward to the red. I have a few other pieces from this same tree. I gave my friend who supplied the wood a very nice one.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Good morning Gary. Very unique piece. Beautiful work. Glad to hear that your sore throat is doing better. Have a blessed day. I’ll be in my shop spinning wood all weekend. As always thank you for the inspiration. Best regards, Keith.
Thanks so much Keith. It is very interesting for sure. And very interesting to turn. Throat is fine thank you and thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary,
Wonderful piece. Glad the red color stayed! Glad you took the bark off. The turning of the inside looks to be a difficult technique. I agree the shape is nice. Nice video👍
Thanks Skip. It was a bit till I got the inside walls turned away. Became a lot less air to turn .
Thanks for watching.
Gary
That’s a good looking piece of cedar. It’s not walnut, but it turns a nice bowl. Well done Gary!
Thank you Doug. No it sure is not Walnut and I did have a piece I wanted to turn. But I remember as a kid if I ate all my candy at once I would not get anymore for awhile LOL.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Really nice job on this one. I really struggled to see the beauty in this piece as you worked on it. But you sure brought out the beauty! That is really cool. And tonight's lesson is that you can find beauty in any piece of wood if you are careful. A very fine result. Thank you.
Thanks so much Mark.
I knew that red was in there and just had to keep digging for it.
Without the finish it can fool you but once it is on it steals the show.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I'm behind watching Juniper. We call it in the south Eastern Red Cedar, which is really beautiful wood. It's strange, though. It's hard and soft at the same time 😅. That turned out stunningly beautiful, Gary.
Thank you Carol. Yes it is very strange. Hard it spots and soft in others. Might be my favorite piece of Juniper I have turned. Although I gave my very favorite to my friend who supplied the wood.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another awesome job, Gary. This wood may be a pain to turn, but you sure can’t argue with the results.
Thank you Ron. You are right about that. Once finished it is well worth it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
The fire ball looks like it has a smile fish face in it 😁
Thank you Marybeth I will have to have a look at that.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That's so cool! It always fascinates me after turning what it comes out looking like.
Thank you very much. On a piece like this it is really hard to know for sure. Happy you liked it.
Gary
The wife and I have been under the weather all week ourselves Gary. The piece is beautiful. We had rain all day, and it is going down to 38 tonight. I broke my heaters out and they are now running. I haven't been in the shop all week. That actually feels kinda weird. I'm just going to do something small tonight. Have a good day tomorrow brother. Thank you for sharing. I hope to see you next week. Be good
Thanks so much Albert. Feeling fine here and hope you both are as well.
A bit warmer here now but I will be dressing warmer and get the heaters out.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Resembles a talon waiting to grab you as you reach for the candy in the dish! Nice colors.
I think you are right Gary! Especially at the begining.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Awesome Phil uh umm I mean Gary 😂. Sincerely beautiful. You mentioned stopping often,… personally I enjoy when you include the stopped footage. I enjoy seeing the transformation. Thanks I hope you can get through winter now full of strong antibodies and stay not sick😅👍👍
Thank you very much Barry. It is an honor to be called Phil. Happens a lot. I try to show most of the times I stop but when I do it after 30 seconds I try and avoid that.
Oh that winter season is here. It is a good and bad situation. Lots of good things if you can stay warm.
Shoot I used to go winter steelhead fishing in the winter. There was one day it was 20 degrees out. We did catch 2 steelhead but I think they just wanted to get out of the cold water LOL.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That is just pure artistic turning,its absolutely beautiful, I just wish I could have more time in my workshop and practice how you work.Thank you for sharing 🤗👌👏
Thank you Peter. Being retired helps and I do not go golfing any more because of my shoulder. Besides woodturning is a lot more fun.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I have been retired for 9 years but I am a keen cyclist which takes a lot of my time but I am trying to get more time in the workshop when its not too hot in my shop, I live in the south of Spain and the hot weather has continued well into the winter.I love your videos Gary and will soon get back into the swing of turning.😉
Very cool looking Gary. Juniper is a nice looking wood once turned. I have turned a lot of it through the years. Some bowls, but mainly snow ⛄️ from branches. Very well done and thanks for sharing.
Thank you Scott. I bet branches would be very interesting to turn.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Really nice. Juniper is a pretty wood. The shape came out great.
Thank you Michael! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
Very nice I love grain and color of wood and I like the bug holes. Another fine piece of art.
Thank you David. Happy you liked it.
Take care,
Gary
Wow, that's a pretty piece of wood, Gary! I really enjoyed your chisel work on this one. You kept great control despite all the ins and outs of this piece and I know that's not easy to do! The finish is amazing and really brings out all the colors! I'm glad your throat is better, you were sounding kind of miserable there for awhile. Great job, buddy, keep'em coming! 😊
Phil
Thank you Phil. Juniper chips out very easily but worth the effort. Requires some gentle cutting so it is sure good practice in slowing down and letting the tools cut. And you know all about that and are great at it.
It is also kind of nasty to work with which caused the sore throat. Went away pretty fast though thankfully.
Thanks for watching my friend.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I did notice your shiny new mask. Glad that helped! 😊
That is a true beauty, the colors are awesome! Well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thanks so much Al!
Take care my friend,
Gary
It looks great. Love the red color inside. It reminds me of cedar. Love the shape also. 👍❤
Thank you very much Marge. Yes it is one of the woods from the cedar family.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Здравствуйте, Гэри. Красивое изделие. Мастер знает своё дело! Спасибо!
Большое спасибо. Я ценю ваши комментарии и спасибо за просмотр,
Гэри
Another beautiful piece. I always enjoy your videos and learn something new to boot.
Thanks so much Bob I appreciate you watching them and commenting,
Gary
Beautiful bowl, Gary. I love the red color. You did a great job with this. 😊😊
Thanks so much Rob. I may cut the other half down so there is more red showing than the sap wood.
I do love that red as well.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful piece Gary. i think i say it every time you do a natural edge bowl, "I need to have a go myself doing one". I have several pieces that if i do it right will look as nice as this one. But i need to do it right. As always thanks for sharing your ideas talent and skills with us. It's always enjoyable watching you vids.
Thank you very much Bruce. Pick a nice smaller piece and go slow. I enjoy turning them as they are so different than a round bowl. But I like those as well. Let me know how it goes if you decided to turn one of the pieces you have.
Take care,
Gary
Good evening, Gary.
Wow, this is a gorgeous piece. Start to finish, this is a wonderful video.
Thanks so much Ray. Happy you liked it.
Happy Veterans day to you my friend,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 Good morning, Gary. Thank you. I wish you all the best on this Veteran's Day. I am glad we have this hobby/pastime to keep our minds busy. Keep moving forward, my friend. Thanks for all you did then and now.
Thanks Ray. Without a doubt wood turning is a blessing. Especially segmented work keeps my mind very busy. For the last 56 years I have always had something .
Blessings to you my brother!
Beautiful Gary. I picked up 5 large chunks of Juniper "firewood" when I was going through New Mexico for $20. Sure is nice when it's done. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Thank you Dave. Now that I think of it a number of years ago we was camping at a family reunion and someone had a very pretty piece of firewood. It actually has a lot of this red color in it. I bet it is Juniper. I still have it as a matter of fact.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Love the combination of colors and the shape, thanks for sharing!
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Gary
WOW WOW AND WOW that's a beauty
Thank you very much Manjit. It does have very nice colors. But it is a very strong smelling wood that effects my sinus's.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary that turned out really nice and the colours were amazing great job.. When you get a soar throat my friend a good two finger of good Scotch two spoon of sugar mixed with boiling water just sip and enjoy, a good old Scottish remedy called a hot toddy. Stay safe
Thank you very much Alan.
Hot Toddy's have been around here since I can remember. Have had a few myself just for that reason. I think it was with whiskey though.
Tequila will work in a pinch!
Thanks for watching,
Gary
when you were pointing out the fireball, around 16:18, or so, i thought you were about to point out that you made a catcher's mitt! very cool!
There was an area that really shined as I rotated the piece. It would be bright then go dark.
Yes it does look like a catchers mitt.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Hi Gary
I was amazed how this piece turned out, what a beautiful red grain. Hope your throat gets better soon, take care.
Thank you Jim. Throat is fine. Once I got done with this piece it went away. Pretty nasty wood. But pretty.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Thank You Gary.... Great wakeup this morning ... Your Juniper looks like fun & I would imagine your shop smelled nice and "piney" but as you say at the end it was not a desirable fragrance? Beautiful wood and beautiful shape.(I enjoy all the cracks & bug holes) Until next time ...... TM
Thank you tuffy! It is a very pretty wood. And for sure my sinus's do not like that smell at all.
I barely have a sense of smell but this sure cut through. In 2006 I lost all of it. I could not even smell gas.
Over the years it seems to be slowly coming back.
Take care,
Gary
Very nice! I’ve had very few pieces of juniper actually stay together while turning. Even at slow speeds and very light touches. I love that kind of wood with all of its colors!! Very nice
Thank you Madonna! It sure does have a tendency to not stay together. A number of years ago I turned a cut off from one of these. I did it as an engrain turning and with was small and thin. Had it hanging on the wall in the hall way. I bumped it and it hit the floor. Now it is in 3 pieces. Probably will not fix it.
But when it stays together it is very cool looking.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Awe man! I hate hen you drop a nice piece and it goes all over the place. I’ve done. More than once
Hi a great job yet again fantastic shape & colour. 👍🐝🌞
Thanks so much Jim, happy you liked it and thanks for watching,
Gary
Just gorgeous can't wait for the other half
Thanks so much Arnold. I think I left a tricky one but I will get to it. Thanks for watching,
Gary
That is a very interesting bowl. Many things to see, but they'd be difficult to focus on with that eye. It looks like you could sink your finger in half an inch or more. Video doesn't always show this features well, but this time it was worth rewinding and watching again. Great piece, Gary!
Thank you very much Jay. I sure could see it but then wondered if everyone else could. I think the lighting has to be just right. That was the main reason I try to show it on the while it was still on the chuck. Happy you were able to see it so well.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
@@ThePapa1947Yes, the light direction and quality is the key. By quality I mean of the light, in that the sunlight or a narrow beam flashlight will show it more than right next to a table lamp, a north facing window, or 4' fluorescent shop lights. The less direct, the better, as well for chatoyancy. A camera flash would be a small direct light, small being good, direct being less ideal. A small work light from a 60 degree angle would flash beautifully. I don't need to tell you about lighting, yours is solid. :)
Gorgeous wood the colors Beautiful grains wood super your works Make pcs of Arts with day l8gth this color be superb and your fini😢
Thank you so much Gaetan. It is a surprisingly beautiful wood once you look inside.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Really nice piece from that chunk. Good vision on where it was telling you it wanted to be...
Thank you very much Jack. When I got to the spot I was thinking I wanted I really had to start listening to what the wood had to say. Sure glad I did.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful Gary. I have seen a few pieces of Juniper turned and the end results are always so pretty.
Great work my friend.
Hwyl, Huw
Thank you Huw! I have only turned the pieces my friend gave me. He has what just might have been the nicest of the batch. When I said I was giving it to Bob I got a very serious stare LOL. I told her I have more. Now I only have one piece left.
Take care!
Hwyl,
Gary
beautiful bowl ! I like all its wiggles , knots ,and waves
Thank you Joyce. For sure it is all those things that make it so cool.

Wow. That turned out awesome Gary love the red
take care.Dave
Thank you very much Dave. Yes the red is very cool. Wait till you see the red in next weeks piece. WOW!
Take care,

Wow. That turned out awesome Gary! Very neat wood!!
Thank you Laura. Happy you liked it and thanks for watching,
Gary
Wasn't expecting it to look so good, based on the initial blank. Good job.
Thank you Tim. I concentrated on all that red. I did not expect to turn that much off to get there but it was worth it.
The other blank left is very questionable.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice with all the features and colors.
Thank you Walt I appreciate you watching.
Gary
Great looking piece. The color is fantastic.
Thanks so much Joey. Happy you liked it.
Gary
👍 Красота!!! Очень красиво!!!!👏👏👏
Thank you very much!
Neat bowl, Gay. Nice color. That spot you pointed out looked like a miniature face on the video. I saw your disc flyoff of the sanding pad at 8:00 and you just kept going.
Bill
Thank you Bill. Well I did not realize it had flown off till I stopped sanding. I left it all in just to see how well people actually watch my videos LOL.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Started off a knarley looking piece but glad you stuck with it, what a fantastic looking piece, we don't have juniper growing around these parts but looks similar to YEW anyway super well done Gary and glad you're feeling better take care
Kind regards
From Will 😊👍
Thanks so much Will! Not the best turning wood we have around here but I think it is a very pretty wood.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
Chatoyance,bugholes,live edge and beautiful grain. What more can you ask for. Good job. Thanks
Thank you very much Garth. That about covers it all other than having someone else vacuum up the shavings LOL.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Great vision to see how it was work out . Enjoyed watching that 👌
Thanks so much Michael. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
Great job. Again. Yew, juniper and Eastern red cedar all have great color. Unfortunately only the aromatic eastern red cedar grows where I live in the southeast US. Thanks for giving us the example and the motivation to try knarly pieces on the lathe.
Thank you Stevio. I sure wish the aromatic cedar grew here. We do have some giant cedar trees but the wood is a bit plain looking.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Nice piece!!! I got a kick out of the sanding disk flying off and you continued to sand the piece without a sanding disk.
Thank you and I got a kick out of it after seeing what happened. I would like to say I was a the burnishing stage but that would be a lie. The show must go on LOL Figured I would leave it in and see how many noticed.

Thank you Arline. How far is over for me? I would love some red cedar and walnut.
Gary
WOW!!! What an amazing bowl. And I love the way the sanding sealer just makes the heartwood POP! I used Zinsser for the first time a few weeks ago. It's much easier to apply than Myland's and easier clean-up. Thanks so much for sharing! 👍🏾
Thank you very much Greg! For sure that is the favorite time..watching the first coat of finish go on.
Zinsser is really a great product and easy to use.
Thanks for watching,

Gary , this piece is incredible ! A real beauty ! The grains is awesome ! I think I will have to search out some Juniper . Best be digging out those heaters . I think winter is upon us . I had to use the heater the other day when the temp in my so called shop was only 42 degrees . Happy weekend .
Thank you Jon. It is very pretty wood. May not look like it till you put the finish on but it sure is.
I just found a nice heater that does not make a lot of noise and puts out some decent heat.

Thanks for watching,

Lovely
Thanks so much Patricia. Happy you liked it.
Gary
Nice piece. I have turned a few bowls and vases from red cedar. I actually like the smell it produces. Like you my sense of smell had diminished over the years. I cannot smell white cedar at all unless it is wet. Keep up the fun.
Thank you Chris. Some of the cedars are not so bad but this juniper was very strong.
Back in 2006 something got messed up in my sense of smell and I could not tell gasoline from water.
Has slow come back but some things irritate, more than being able to smell them for what they are.
Doctors had no real clue but thought it could have been some infection.
Wow that has been quite a while for you. My step son lost his sense of smell when h was quite young. We always worry about a gas leak in his apt. He would have no clue there was a problem. All the best, keep up the good work.

Stunning outcome ❤
Thank you Sacha!
You didn’t disappoint me Gary, another great turning.
I’ve turned juniper before and unfortunately the beautiful pink colour always turns a light brown. I’ve never had the reddish tinge stay, but the variation in colour is still great.
I usually turn these pieces the other way, not natural edge , however this turned out just fine.
The shellac finish looks great. I use shellac sanding sealer but always a wax and natural oil (walnut coconut Tung) finish. I make my own and put a little diatomaceous earth in for a fine finish. All natural and food safe although you probably shouldn’t be using juniper bowls for food.
I love the smell of juniper and don’t find that it affects me, sorry to hear you say that you use a ask.
I hope your throat is now better as I would be greatly disappointed if you couldn’t make videos regularly.
Hope your thanksgiving was pleasant
Talk soon
Bye from down under. Gregory
Thank you Greg. I just checked and the one I did in March 2021 is still as red as when I finished it.
I do not keep in around sunlight if that makes any difference. Also I wonder about what finish is used if that matters.
I like to turn them non natural edge as well. But so many times you end up cutting away so much heart wood there is none left. This may have been the case with this one.
Hardly anything I turn is meant to be used with food. And if I give one away I tell the please do not put any food you need a fork to eat it with. Candy is fine.
My throat was fine as soon as I finished this piece.

Juniper, oh, Juniper. Haha. Where I live in Central Texas there is one dominant species of Juniper east of me and one dominant species west of me. They mix in my area so I know it well. It can make you mad or glad. Haha. I like it for so many reasons and mostly just accept it for it's nature. What you made is beautiful and useful in my opinion. Yep, the oil, aroma and dust can just be too much sometimes. Some folks HATE the pollen. Haha. Fortunately for me, the pollen does not bother me. I made a bookmark from a thin piece of cedar ( Juniperus ashei), 1/16 " thick, that is still flat and straight after using it for years. Sanding it made me sneeze. Haha.
Thank you Travis.
It is a very interesting wood for sure. I think it was the aroma that got me. I had not idea it would stay flat at that thickness. I wonder I could cut some veneer strips from it. Might have to give it a try.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
I have no idea why my little piece of Juniper has stayed flat. If it had been mesquite, that would make sense.@@ThePapa1947

Thank you Dave. I have a very limited sense of smell. This is one of the only wood that I can actually smell. I do not care for it. It does remind me of grade school LOL
Gary
Beautiful piece Gary. The red grain really pops! Glad you got over your sore throat and stay warm. As always, thank you!!!

That;s really a cool piece, Gary. I couldn't figure out what it was going to look like from the beginning of the video. You really did it justice. The wood loks a lot like red cedar. Are juniper and red cedar related? Does it have the same kind of scent as red cedar> Whatever, it looks cool.
Thank you Tom. I had a different shape in mind and when I got there I hated it. So I kept turning and was happy with what I found.
Yes juniper is in the same family as cedar. I would say the small of juniper is NASTY. That is coming from someone with a minimum sense of smell. But I could feel the burn on it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Really nice! I have a ton of juniper trees on my property in northern arizona. I’ll have to try to turn some of that, although the species here is more of a caramel cooler inside rather than red.
Thank you Jim. If it is like what you have it is very powerful smelling. And very irritating. At leas to me. Worth a try if you take one down.
Thanks for watching,
