- I turned another bowl with a ring glued into it. This is how you make Celtic Knots.
The Cherry wood is more than beautiful. Full of amazing grain and features.
Special thanks to both Rick and Paul for helping this piece of wood find it's way to my shop.
I loved turning this piece of wood.

Beautiful bowl and lovely story behind it too. I bet Paul will be over the moon to receive this beauty. ❤
Thank you very much and he is very happy with it, He even sent me pictures of the tree before it was cut down.
Gary
Good evening, Gary.
I was glued to this video. Excellent design, excellent bowl, excellent story. Definitely want to give this a try. See you next time, my friend.
Thank you Ray. For sure give it a try. I will have a follow up "short" on the process in a few days which you might want to see.
Take care buddy!
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I will be watching for your follow up.
A great design, great turning, great finish and a great story! I love everything about this video, Gary! It's amazing how the Sapele just bent so well with a little steaming. That part was cool, too! Well done, my friend! 😃
Phil
Thanks Phil. I will have a follow up on the steaming. I am sure there will be a lot of interest in trying it.
That Cherry tree sure produced some beautiful l wood.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
11,000 views and only 595 likes. It’s lovely, Gary, especially so because you are back on your feet and the heartwarming story at the end 🌞
Thank you Ray. It is sure nice to be able to walk around instead of hop around using a walker.
Take care,
Gary
Gary , you are such a nice guy . I bet the guy is going to be stoked to receive such a gift . Especially since it came from his yard . Aren't these little bowls just fun to make ? I like doing these after a little more difficult turning . Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend . It is really great to see you up and about .
Thanks so much Jon! Yes they are lots of fun to do. Trying to keep them small and easy for a bit. But I am working my way back to a big piece I have been waiting to do.
Take care,
Gary
Great looking bowl, Gary! And a cool story! I'm sure Paul will love it!
Thank you Billy, it was sure fun to do.
Gary
That turned out really neat, I especially like the ring of cherry in it. Very creative.
Thank you Dale. I appreciate your comments.
Gary
That's a really great bowl, and a really good story to go with it. I think that where the wood comes from is an important part of the piece, and should be preserved if possible. Makes it a fun part of the project. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much Mark. Any time a tree is cut down it is nice to have memories of it.
Our friends had to have a Walnut tree cut down because it looked like it was dying. HOA pushed hard on it.
I got the whole tree and they have a number of turnings from it. Even though they moved to Indiana they still have the memory of the tree. It was a beauty and a shame.
Sure glad I do not live in an HOA or they would be SOL.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Hi Gary, Great finish to another project! I enjoy the story behind your acquisition of the wood and the full circle it is taking, certainly good karma! Take care and keep turning!!
Thank you Michael. I sure enjoyed making it. That piece has been doing some traveling and now it will end up where it grew for many years.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That is a stunning piece, Gary! One of my favourite turnings that I have seen you do. I hope you had as much fun turning it as I had watching you do it. 👏👏👏
All the best,
…..Gord
Thank you Gord...oh yeah I had lots of fun turning this one. Sure glad you had fun watching it my friend.
Take care,
Gary
Great story Papa47 and nice project- i love it when projects mean something special.
Thank you very much! You are right about that. Almost every tree we have cut down or trimmed I have turned something out of it.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful work. Love the sepele flowing through the cherry. Gorgeous bowl. Fun story as well.
Thank you Doug I appreciate you watching.
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 always!
That bowl looks AMAZING! The colours are great... cherry is one of my favourites 😁💙
Thank you Heather. It is amazing how different some of the Cherry trees look. This reminds me of Wild Cherry.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
What a great idea Gary! I love how it turned out. Such a beautiful colour and grain accented by the contrast ring. I wouldn’t mind seeing a little more about how you bent the Sapele. You sure don’t scrimp on glue 😊. It’s a great story. I like how things come around. You never know! Thank again for sharing a cool idea and a fun story. Cheers, Rick
Thank you very much Rick. Maybe I will make a short on how to bend the wood. At one time I planned on building and acoustic guitar and would have had to make a steaming device. Of course the wood would be much thinner.
Now my mind is on making a Ventures model Mosrite body. Will I get around to it....who knows LOL
The most fun I had on turning this was thinking of what I had planned for the piece. Little did I know it was going to be such a beautiful piece of wood. Makes it all the much better.
Take care,
Gary
Excellent, glad to see you’re on your feet long enough to do another project. Hope you’re healing well. After my park bench rebuild I’ve had too many chores around the house to get into the shop. I love seeing the ideas you come up with and hope you keep them coming…
Tom
Thank you very much Tom it is good to be able stand long enough to turn. But I do take a break every 20 minutes.
Always lots of chores to do. I am working on 3 things at once it seems. Two of them I can sit down and do.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Such a lovely piece Gary. I am so lucky to have creative people like you having these neat ideas that I can copy. I've had my brain checked several time and the creative gene just isn't there! Thanks for sharing this and many other great videos.
Thank you Tom I appreciate your comments.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Another lovely turning Gary thankyou for sharing
Thank you Ronnie and thanks for watching,
Gary
Gary, that is a fine piece of artwork. You did a great job with it. The ring gives it an interesting characteristic. I always enjoy your videos. Take care my friend. Rudy
Thank you Rudy I appreciate your comments. Happy you enjoy my videos.
Take care,
Gary
Beautiful looking bowl Gary. I think I will have to try that myself. Paul is going to love it. Continue taking care of that ankle and thanks for sharing 😊.
Thank you very much Scott. It is pretty easy to do and I think you will have lots of fun doing it.
I just finished my morning ankle exercises and they are getting easier.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
This is an absolutely gorgeous bowl. I loved the story. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you Lee I appreciate your comments.
Take care,
Gary
Nice story for sure. Three way win. Quite the bowl🤩
Thank you very much. I appreciate your comment.
Gary
You have a big heart and a GREAT skill!
keep turning
charley
Thank you Charlie I appreciate your comments.
Gary
a super super great job keeping coming iam in Australia teaching my self with vedios like this
Thanks so much Andre I appreciate you watching.
Have fun with your turning,
Gary
Looking good! I've made it a habit to return bowls to everyone who gives me wood. They love it and feels good to share...
Thank you very much. Everyone who has had a tree taking down and offered wood they get a bowl to remember the tree.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
The Sapele Ring makes this piece for me Gary.
The right thickness and the right amount of curve in it.
I loved the locating dowels you used to align the top and bottom pieces. The grain match was perfect.
Lovely story behind the wood and I'm sure Paul will cherish the bowl for a long time.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
Thank you very much Huw. I fell in love with Sapele after hearing you talk about it. Thanks for that!
The steaming was really fun and I used my own cast iron pan. Laverna does not like it as it is so heavy. But I cook a lot of things in it that finish in the oven so it is needed. Oh wait that has nothing to do with wood turning LOL
Take care and good to see you back making videos. Must feel good.
Cheers,
Gary
Very nice bowl Gary, also a very nice story .I think when we give to others, it will bless us beyond our beliefs. So good to see you getting around, keep up the good work.
Thank you very much Mark. Yes it is a good feeling to give. Good thing I said I was doing it from the start or that grain would have been hard to part with LOL....just kidding,
Gary
Great story Gary. It really is a small world after all.
Thank you Dick! Yes at times it seems so so big but then this reminds us that it is not really.
Thank You Gary.... You perhaps are still in a bit of pain BUT you seem do be doing pretty good & slowly getting back to your regular self ?... This was very cool Gary.. That small piece of firewood has traveled around until landing in your shop and it will now be protected, admired and handed down many times throughout the years ahead. Not to bad of a life for a piece of firewood thanks to you Gary.... I look forward to your future projects & until next time...... TM
Thank you TM. Yes a little bit of pain and I could see how I was careful when moving for a different tool.
But for sure getting better and the PT is helping me get my foot pointed straight instead of looking like a penguin LOL
Yes the wood has done some traveling. Sure is beautiful Cherry for sure.
Take care,
Gary
That's a beautiful bowl Gary! Love the design you incorporated!
Thank you Capt. John. Happy you liked it.
So if I may ask where did the Capt. come from?
Gary
Glue and a wet piece of inlay? That a new one on me! Looks mighty fine though!
Thank you. It was not soaking wet. It was more just the surface. The steam let the piece relax into the shape.
Really nice, Gary. I'm sure he will like it. It's great to see you as mobile as you are.
Bill
Thank you Bill, it is great being able to get around. Maybe slower than I like but still much closer to normal.
Take care,
Gary
That is a really cool idea! And you can never go wrong with Cherry and Sapele. Another beautiful piece, Gary. I hope rhe foot and ankle are getting better. Have a great weekend my friend.
Thank you very much Jane. It does make a nice combo for sure.
Foot is getting there I do PT at home as well as Monday mornings with the therapist. I am able to walk better with my foot pointing forward. Still some to go on that.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very inspiring Papa! Always enjoy your videos! Thank you!
Thanks so much Peggy! I appreciate you watching,
Gary
Very nice. Glad you're getting back to turning
Thank you Bob. Still feel like I am on half speed but that works.
Take care,
Gary
Nice job yet again Gary. Love the projects that you do as even as a novice I feel I have the ability to do them after your teaching. Keep up the recovery & take care, keep safe & stay well. That's a cool thing your doing Gary with giving a little back to Paul 👍
Thank you Jim. This one is pretty easy to do. If you do not want to steam some wood you can buy thin veneer.
But I think steaming a 1/4 inch piece was fun.
Paul was really interested in the first one and I understand. I do not sell and my wife took dibs on it. So this worked out great. I really like the wood in this one but there is more where it came from LOL.
Take care,
Gary
That's a beautiful bowl Gary! Thanks for sharing. I've steam bent wood when I built my canoes but never considered incorporating it into my wood turning. Something to keep in mind.
I was always going to build a steamer for bending sides for acoustic guitars. Just one of those things on the list I did not do.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Beautiful bowl for sure, Gary. And a great video. Cool back story on the wood too. Take care. 😊😊😊
Thank you Rob. Every piece of wood has a story and some should be shared. Well the kiln dried wood I get at Crosscut Hardwoods does not have that much of a story. Well it does but I would have no part of it except the drive over there LOL
Beautiful bowl , love the story. I love to make a bowl for someone special it gives me a warm feeling I really like.😢
Thank you Dennis! Yes it is nice when someone is surprised to get a special bowl.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Really cool story! You're a good man, Gary!
Well thank you Vince I appreciate that.
Gary
Very nice Gary. I wondered at first how you were going to get a ring in the bowl but I had confidence you would. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks Gary
Thank you Dave. I just may have to make a special jig for doing even more of these.
I appreciate you watching,
Gary
Grand bowl, grand story, grand job. Steady in that workshop Papa All the best from Lincolnshire UK
Thank you very much Gary. I try to keep everything where I can reach it and have a tall stool behind in case I just feel like taking a rest.
Thanks for watching my friend,
Gary
That was very interesting to watch, Gary. Very cool method and great results.
As for the story, that might be the most fulfilling part of my nearby turning community, the generosity. Gifts and tools go around when someone needs something or has extra to offer.
Thank you very much Jay. Seems like you have a great wood turning community!
Take care,
Gary
Gorgeous Bowl the Grains Beautiful thank you for sare
Thank you Gaetan I appreciate you watching,
Gary
Wow. You always come up with great ideas for new turnings.
Thank you very much! Happy you like it and thanks for watching,
Gary
Thank you Gary, a bowl built with purpose is always special. I'm sure Paul is going to love it. You have built a piece to be handed down for generations. Glad to see your getting around better.
Thank you very much Rick. One of the best times I have had turning something. Just knowing what I had planned made it all the much better. But I sure had to make sure it came out to be what I planned. The grain was much nicer thank I expected.
Send me his address when you get a chance.
Gary
Very cool turning. I like the sapele ring.
Thank you Jerry I appreciate you watching,
Gary
As usual simply stunning - thanks for sharing your work with all of us.
Thanks so much Phil. Happy you liked it.
Gary
Great video! Good to see you back! Beautiful finish!
Thanks so much Chris. Good to be back.
Gary that bowl turned out awesome I love the Minwax finish. I like the shinier product. Very nice indeed.
Thank you very much Ken. I know some do not like shiny but with this grain it really brings it to life.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Terrific job! That finish really does justice to the bowl!
Thank you Michael! Happy you liked it and I appreciate you watching,
Gary
Gary what a beautiful bowl that turned out to be I loved the supeely
Thanks so much Alan and thanks for watching,
Gary
Love bowls of cherry
Yes Cherry is a very pretty wood.
I appreciate you watching and commenting,
Gary
Another beautiful bowl Gary nicely done as always, thanks for sharing,
Kind regards From will 😊👍
Thank you Will. I appreciate you watching,
Gary
Gary sorry hit the wrong button that bowl is beautiful, and also great to see you back at the lathe, hope all is well.
Thank you Alan. No problem you can always just hit the other one and it will change.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That's such a great turn! Love it! Hope you'll be at the Symposium!
Thank you Anthony. I plan on being there for a little bit. Not sure I will be up to walking around all day though. I will see how the PT goes.
I assume you will be? Do you live local?
Gary
@@ThePapa1947 I am up in Spokane, but still have family there in the Portland Area, and I am excited for the Symposium. I have learned so much from your videos, I would love a chance to shake your hand and buy you a beverage!
Beautiful. Love the cherry.
Thank you very much lance!
I really love stories like that..i had a story like that one day driving through our neighborhood there was 2 pieces of apple wood on the curb said"free" i rough turned 4 bowls after they dried i returned them and got 4 nice bowls. I had noticed an elderly couple had been walking the neighborhood for health reasons and the guy stopped to see what i was doing in the garage. We talked a bit come to find out that was his apple tree. I told him wait here i have something for you. I brought out 2 of the bowls and said pick one it's yours! He told me later that his kids thought it was so cool that they had that because they used to climb in that tree as kids. And that warms my heart!
Thank you very much. You have a great story yourself. It seems it was just meant to be.
Thank you very much for watching and your story.
Gary
Nice bowl and concept with the darker wood (can't spell it). The short story was great to listen to. Thanks for all you do to inspire all of us woodturners. Your Tennessee Woodbees wood turner
Thank you Randy. It is spelled Sapele.
We passed through Tennessee in 2016 on a long motor home trip. Love the state.
Gary
Another great creation! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Larry and thanks for watching,
Gary
Well done Gary. It's a beautiful bowl. The accent stripe really makes the day. I'm sure Paul will really appreciate the gift. Take care and have a great day. And as always, be safe.🙂🙂
Thank you very much Glen. I am pretty sure he is going to like it. At least I hope.
Take care,
Gary
A great piece and story, Gary!

Thank you Dwight I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Gary
Very pretty Gary love the look and love the story as well
Thank you very much Wade. I sure enjoyed making it.
Take care,
Gary
This is a great design Gary. I was expecting something more like a veneer inlay, but this was a hundred time better. I'm sure Paul will love it.
You seem to be more mobile every week. Soon you will be out playing with the other kids. ;-D
Thank you Gil! I like this way better than the veneer I bought. Not even sure what it was. It was called dyed veneer.
Yes getting along much better. No longer using the walker or the knee scooter. I do use a cane at the moment.
Well when the boss lets me out to play maybe LOL.
What a grain!
Thank you Rachel. It is very special grain for sure.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Love the bowl and the story

Thank you Julian and it sure is.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Very nice work Gary, Love the color and look of the veneer.
Thank you very much Ronald!
Gary
Gary,
I loved your story. A similar thing happened to me. A friend cut down a dying maple and gave me the wood. She said it had come from a tree that started as a seedling in the gutter of her girlhood home. They planted in the yard of their new home.
I was able to turn eight bowls and a few candle holders and she had enough to go give to her children and grandchildren.
They consider them to be precious family heirlooms.
As woodturners we are lucky to be able to create meaningful gifts.
Chas
Thank you Chas and thank you for your wonderful story. Hard to get much better than that.
Gary
Well done! Your gesture at the end of the video more than earned my sub!
Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching and subbing!
Gary
Great idea Gary, love it!
Thank you Dave and thanks for watching,
Gary
You can never have too many friends !!
A good friend is like a four leaf clover... Hard to find and lucky to have 😊😊

Cheers Al
Thank you very much Al. I have never met Paul but I am sure he will like it a lot.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
That came out great Gary. I'm sure Paul will treasure the bowl. Full credit from giving it to him.
Thank you very much! It was really fun to do and I know he was sure interested in the first one and just felt like I needed to do this.
Gary
The wavy ring really adds to the beauty of this piece.
Thank you Randy I appreciate you watching and commenting,
Gary
Looks great. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Walt!
It is a beautiful bowl. I'm sure that Paul will treasure the reminder of his tree!
Thank you Crystal. I am looking forward to getting it to him. I know he sure liked the first one I made from his tree.
Gary
That is so gorgeous...I love it! It's like John Beaver's wave bowl.
Thank you Carol! I think I heard that name on the last one I made.
Pretty much like making a Celtic knot.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Looks Awesome Gary! I never saw one done like that before, I may have to give that a try sometime, Paul is gonna love the bowl, that is definitely a pretty cool story, enjoyed the video 👍
Thanks Kimsey. I am sure you would have fun making one.
Take care my friend,
Gary
What a beautiful bowl. You will have people lining up down your driveway with offers of wood. 😊
Thank you Lucy! If it is great wood I am sure we can work something out LOL.
Thanks for watching,
Gary
Great job. I’m going to give this a try and I am glad you are doing better. May God continue to bless you and family.
Thank you very much Richard. It is pretty easy to do. We feel his blessings.
Thanks,
Gary
I always like the projects you make and appreciate your marathon
Thank you Gary I appreciate your comments.
Take care,
Gary
WOW, another beautiful bowl. The Cheery has gorgeous grain by itself but the ribbon you added really sets it off. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you Kent. For sure that was very cool looking grain.
Glad you liked the ring as well.
Gary
Nice, nice bowl. Well done. I sure like cherry wood. I had just come in from working on the first step for making a segmented bud vase when I saw this video while eating lunch. I do not have a lathe so I will need to use other tools to shape it. Haha. Thanks for sharing your awesome work.
Thanks Travis. your non turned segmented bowl sounds cool. Love to see a picture when it is done.
Gary
I will send you a photo when I finish it. It may take a while with doing things with family and doing what my cats tell me. Haha. Keep in mind that I am not at all on your level in woodworking. Haha@@ThePapa1947
