I turn another piece of wood that has been sitting on the shelf for close to 5 years.. I mounted it way off center to save feature that was on the log.
It was well worth the wait to see the inside of this beautiful Mimosa.
I had to mount it
Finished with Zinsser Seal Coat, Zinsser Shellac and Acks Sanding Paste

  • Oh pretty, Doug Miller turned a piece of mimosa. The grain patterns are fantastic.

    • Thank you Doug. I have turned about all I got back when I got this piece. I loved turning all of it. The first piece I turned was an emerging bowl. The bowl emergent out of a branch with a crotch. The wood was fantastic. It was before I got a much better camera and got more relaxed making videos but have a look: kzhead.info/sun/aKeukaWScIKboYU/bejne.html&ab_channel=ThePapa1947

I do not think I would know a Mimosa tree if I saw one and I will need to look that tree up to sharpen my eye. ... The grain kind of reminds me of Ash with more color to it.

  • I'll admit that when the video started and I saw the chunk of wood, I didn't think it was good for anything but the fireplace. But, as usual, you saw beyond the outer appearance and used your woodturning skills to make really nice vase with a natural feature. Bravo Gary!

    • Thank you Stuart! I had an advantage in that I had already turned a couple pieces from the tree this one came from. I knew the wood was pretty and just wanted to do what I could to keep that feature. Happy it worked and you liked it. Take care, Gary

    • Hey Gary just wondering what brand/type your hot glue is, I have used some that is sort of transparent which worked well but can’t find that one anywhere, I have a packet of glue sticks now that are a milky sort of colour and am having no luck at all with it holding, any suggestions. Regards Jim

      @jimfisher5201@jimfisher520111 ай бұрын

    • Hi Jim. I have used many types of glue sticks and they all have worked. Actually some of the ones I really like came from Harbor Freight in a bulk pack. I have gotten some from Bi-mart (maybe a local store) that work good as well. I bought a new hot glue gun kit recently that came with a bunch of the long glue sticks. Probably the strongest I have used. I had to resort to a hot air gun to get the tenon off this turning but that worked great as well. Getting the glue as hot as it will get is very important to sticking. It has two heat settings and an on/off switch. It works great: www.amazon.com/Carry-Sticks-Power-Projects-Repairs/dp/B08N6FWQWF Take care, Gary

  • Thank you for turning this lovely piece - gorgeous. It reminded me of my childhood in Africa. There were many Mimosa trees where we lived at the time and I was warned not to fall asleep under a Mimosa tree because if any of the flowers fell on me I might never wake up again. I think it was to make sure I kept up with my chores - and I did! But mimosa trees are so beautiful and I have happy memories of my time there. Thank you for bringing back memories of such happy times.
