Welcome to this weeks woodturning video.
Woodturning - The Monkey Puzzle
In this woodworking video I use a woodturning lathe to turn an air dried large piece of monkey puzzle into a 16 inch pedestal platter.
when woodturning a piece like i find it important to nibble away at it until I see what shape the wood wants to be, this is what is so enjoyable about woodturning. big log to bowl, but i find removing the wood in layers allows me to find the best possible shape.

This is incredible! Weird coincidence... just yesterday, I discovered this wood for the first time and fell in love, now, if only I could find a piece, haha!

@JackMackWoodturning 3 жыл бұрын

It’s very hard to come by. Iv been turning for a long time and this was the first chunk iv been able to get my hands on, as I understand it the tree is generally protected as it’s native lands have been heavily deforested causing it to be somewhat endangered, this means we only get it when I tree has been felled for safety reasons. It’s always nice to get a piece of wood to turn but I’d never want to turn a tree that has been harvested solely for its timber. Thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Impressions: 1. Beautiful piece of NIP. 2. Nice work on cutting the French curves on the base. 3. I have large plate jaws with rubber feet so I only have to cut one tenon on what will be the base. 4. I would like to have you stop the lathe more often to see what is happening to the NIP branches as you form the bowl. 5. Many turners soak the NIP branches with thin CA, as they tend to crack or break out. 6. NIP is notorious for tearing out when turned, and you had trouble with that on the base. There’s no solution but more sanding.

@saigonngale 2 жыл бұрын

Whoa! The grain is quite special ever. And, you formed the log like a fountain base (laying on pillar) that normally was decorated in old European gardens. Could you add a fountain in this piece, and take photo of the final outcome? Thanks.

Not experienced at all about woodturning, watching this video is like a thriller. A hundred times I thought "stop now, it already has such a nice form" but no.......cut cut cut cut. I assume you have the form to achieve complete in your mind, or is it also more taking shape during the proces? Very beautiful, inspiring. A museum piece in my opinion. I see there is a Center for Art in Wood in Philadelphia PA. Interesting, have to go once upon a time. Wish you the very best and far more beautiful creations. Greetings from The Netherlands.

Thanks, I’m glad you like it. The symmetry of the knots is about the only redeeming factor of monkey puzzle wood. 😆. I’m not sure exactly what you mean about it checking in future? The piece was fully seasoned before turning so should behave just like any other piece of wood.

@lynxg4641 3 жыл бұрын

Thought that after turning and thinning out, maybe the wood might shrink/move some, especially around/in the area of the knots.

@rideon6140 2 жыл бұрын

@@lynxg4641 Araucaria is favored for this type of turning because the knots usually do not separate from the surrounding wood. And the knots, although much harder, often do not check either. In general its a remarkably stable wood and in spite of its name has nothing to do with American pines.
