Woodturning - My Family Love This Piece!

The trailer for Let's Talk Shop (my mini podcast/voiceover series) will launch over the weekend. Let me know if you're excited.
I've been looking forward to making this piece for a long time. I am a massive fan of rugby, and every year my family and I sit down together and watch all of the Six Nations games. Over the last 3 years, we have played fantasy six nations, which I have never won.... grrrr. This year, with the hope of a win, I made this trophy to mark the special occasion. This trophy will last us another 9 years of Six Nations tournaments, with every winner choosing the wood they would like the plague to be made from. Roll on the 4th of February!
The trophy body is made from Yew sanded to 10000 grit, the base is English Oak sanded to 2000 grit, and the three winner's plaques in order by year are; Holm Oak, Wenge, and Spalted Silver Birch. This piece has been finished with a variety of finishes, such as Danish Oil, Sanding Sealer, and Wood wax.
Let me know what you think, and if you too are a lover of rugby!
I couldn't have made the plaques without the Xtools D1 pro, thank you to them for sending it to me to try out. Here's their website if you fancy checking them out! www.xtool.com/?ref=tgt0B9U0m-...

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.

@Harry, now at 77 yrs. & counting, I've been retired longer than I played & refereed! I was fortunate to have a 22 year combined career, mostly playing but with an emphasis on the wistle the final two or three. I was intro'd to the game while rehabbing a motorcycle racing injury, and vowed to resume athletics more safely! We have had an active interest, here stateside, for many years following the Olympics in the 1920s, with Cities from NY to the West Coast fielding sides. As well, many universities have played, with our beautiful game now spreading rapidly to thr high school level. I could go on but won't, don't wanna hog yer comments section! The trophy is loved here too, ESPECIALLY with the reveal below... Best Regards, RRC

35 лет назад учитель труда выточил на наших глазах похожий кубок. Из березы. На токарном станке по металлу резцом по металлу. Чтобы придать красивую текстуру он взял наждачную бумагу на тряпичной основе, на обратную сторону налил немного машинного масла и прижимал к кубку на больших оборотах. Древесина получила потемнения от сгоревшего машинного масла. Получилось красиво, но у Вас текстура вышла значительно красивее, конечно. А мы тогда были просто в восторге от чуда которое создал наш учитель.

Now @77, as a man who committed to living the Rugby lifestyle, playing & refereeing from 28-50, I'm indeed a BIG fan of 6 Nations matches & watch all the matches I can! We slso get English Premiership matches, 7s tournaments, & other internationals or high quality play, even to include Aussie Rugby League matches! The sports networks have been good, of late, to show Premiership Soccer, Bundes-League soccer, and even cricket! SO, for guys like me who grew up playing lots of organiized sports, and/or vacant lot/frozen pond neighborhood sports, we ARE in fandom heaven! Thanks for asking Harry, & a happy new year as well! Don't drink too much beer and eat too many peanuts, & enjoy the matches! Me, w/my Scots Irish, & French heritage, will cheer on for nearly everyone, even now the Italians 😂❗️

Hi Harry I love rugby and the trophy and base and the little shields are awesome. That was a brilliant bit of craftsmanship you are a brilliant woodturner. The pieces of wood has character and is a nice colour and the grain is nice and I like the marks on it. You always amaze and inspire me by what you make and do on your videos, they are fantastic and very interesting. I'm looking forward to your chat video coming soon and the other things you plan to do. I can't wait to see what you have come up with for your next video. Happy New Year from Amanda xx

Bit late to the party, sorry! Happy New Year. I love rugby, having been brought up on the Welsh team of the 1970s. I used to play but was rubbish! Wanted to referee but arthritis caught up with me early. I love the cup, but was worried you were making an urn! Glad it’s a trophy. Best of British for the upcoming 6 Nations.

Amazing work. I like to work with wood and over the years have built all kinds of things from beds to wall hanging units to shelving units but have never owned a lathe. I have a friend that does have one. Hs favorite thing is making bowls. There is an abundance of free downed wood to work with around here such as when someone trims or cuts down a Mulberry or Mesquite or now and then an oak or pecan. We have Paloverde trees here as well that are desert adapted but have a yellowish color to them inside. No one I know has ever turned a piece of it. I am in Mesa, Arizona. USA. What basic lathe could you suggest that would be suitable for a beginner like me that is also affordable. I like the fact you have all kinds of options with your lathe instead of the basic one size fits all cheaper lathes available. I really enjoy your video's. Thanks.
