Woodturning - Gnarly Oak Transformation!

2 жыл бұрын

I've been waiting to turn this piece of wood for a while now. It's been sitting outside drying for well over a year and a half and I thought this week was the right time to turn it. In all honesty I wasn't sure what I was going with, I just had some fun with it and let the wood dictate the shape. I was hoping for some better grain, but as its a small piece most of the best grain got removed during turning.
The Oak has been sanded up to 10000 grit, and finished with Danish Oil. I will give it a few more coats of Danish Oil, and then put it on display. However, I'm happy to sell this one if anyone is interested.
Let me know what you think!

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. I am still relatively new to woodturning and some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest. When using any tools or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines.
Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practise. 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 do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing.

That’s a beautiful piece of wood. As a newby to lathework I’m curious as to the intended use. My Mrs would say just something else to collect dust. Live edge bowls I like doing and things that aren’t round

My first guess is bowl. Well 85% of the wood is now wood chips, great for making fire starters. You must live in England, because all the English crafter I watch use Milliput. That is a very fancy and pretty candy dish, key bowl or whatever you want to use it for. It has lots of potential!

@davidcrandell1172 Жыл бұрын

@@HarrySmithShorts Its a timber with the most colourful grain. It can be pale with red/brown stripes in it. It's easy to turn and it smells of camphor. It hard to describe it. It sands well and from my experience will take any finish and look great. Its a pest tree here in Aust and it regulars gets cut down and dumped. I now of a few mills that just cut camphor because of the market. I'd love to send you a sick some how.
