Woodturning a Spectacular Split Log Vessel

Thank you very much to everyone who voted in the poll for the color of this piece. My wife found a Facebook post for free wood in my area. I was able to get a bed full of these Eucalyptus logs. I cut most of them into a variety of bowl blanks, but kept a few logs as well. I specifically did not seal this particular log because I wanted it to crack for this specific design. Unfortunately there are hundreds of Eucalyptus species and I do not know exactly what species this wood is, but it sure is beautiful. The Okinawa green from Eye Candy pigments looks fantastic with the deep pour epoxy from Superclear epoxy. I was also able to use the new flat tool rests from Simple Woodturning Tools for the first time on this piece. They worked amazing and I will definitely be using them more in the future. I really like the way this piece turned out and will likely come back to this design in the future. I rarely like to make anything more than once but this one will be an exception. Thank you for watching and all the amazing comments. You all are awesome! I hope you have a wonderful day!

This is a great video and stunning result! In the past I've watched quite a few of these kinds of videos - which I've greatly enjoyed - but I think you and Olivier Gomis are the only people I've seen use a stabilizing roller device (I think he has used them for these really big pieces). I have seen the consequences in a few videos of having a piece fly off the lathe when held at one end by a mortise or tenon which is horrifying and heart breaking though I guess fortunately infrequent. The device you're using seems genius to me in preventing that. Also, I have never seen the laser guide before - does that help you track the depth/width while gouging the interior? Again, great video!!! 👍

Have you considered using straps to lower in the mold? They could be used to pull it back out too. Also, you might use silicon caulk for the seal?

Subscribed! The epoxy+turning craft is amazing to me and your channel does not disappoint. I also really like your video creation style. This particular piece came out amazingly well. Dang, that leak in pressure pot is painful.... sorry you had to deal with that 😣 Now I only wish I could learn to use a lathe while also learning the required common sense to maintain "life an limb" so-to-speak 😂

@squareandlevel Күн бұрын

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this comment. I really appreciate it. The pressure pot is “good” as new and ready for use. As for wanting to learn there is no better way to do it than just getting started. I’ve only been using a lathe for about 8 months now. I’ve made mistakes and that’s ok. Best way to learn imo. Thank you very much for watching. I hope you have a wonderful day. Scott
