Wood Turning The Most Beautiful Walnut Ever

I turn a stubborn the most beautiful piece of English Walnut that I have ever worked with. This piece had cracks and ring separation. I tried a few methods to save it. I did not try resin on it because of how it effects me.
Starbond CA and sawdust worked the best.
But it was well worth the extra work.

I finished with Zinsser Seal Coat and Zinsser Shellac
I then used Ack Sanding Paste and Ack Polish/Restoring Paste
It was turned using bowl gouges and a negative rake scraper

I am with you....I never throw out pieces like this. Beauty is all around us. Keep up the good work

[trurexlee]

Glad you stuck with it. We have heard all the stories of not using cracked wood, but with carefully filling the cracks the product can be as exquisite as yours.

I just had to come back and look at this bowl again ! It is just gorgeous !

[tonicouncil]

I'm glad you didn't listen to people telling you to throw it away because that is gorgeous 😍

[geraldmoore]

I heard a turner say onetime, if you don't want to deal with cracks, you should work with
glass. Cracks are fine with me, because they represent the character of the wood. This
piece should tell anyone that cracks don't spoil the turning. For sure one of the most beautiful pieces I have seen of late. I really enjoy watching you share your skills.

That has to be one of the best, non-burl, bowls I’ve ever had the pleasure to see. It’s absolutely breathtaking, you can’t beet black walnut in my opinion.

[stevenparaons]

Those that don't take the risk never see the beauty that comes from the effort.
That's a very nice bowl!

Oh my gosh, prettiest grain ever, good job.

Papa,
YES, it was worth the effort! There is something about walnut that makes it ideal for getting a beautiful object out therefrom. In this case it took a grand bit of hard work and a deep knowledge of both woods and turning.
Thank you for an exceptionally fine piece. That grain is stunning!
Keep the aspidistra flying!
