Woodturning - This Was Totally Unexpected!

So the plan for this video was to turn a Christmas tree with last year's Christmas tree. However, when I started to turn this wood it was splitting and tearing all over the place so I decided to keep turning until I got to a usable piece of wood. For some reason, the idea to turn it into a honey dipper came to my mind, and then I thought it'd be a great idea to turn a honey pot. It was totally unexpected for me as my plan went completely out of the window but I decided to just go with it. Sometimes my best work comes from moments like this.
The pot is made from American black walnut that has been sanded to 10000 grit and finished with sanding sealer and wood wax. The lid is also black walnut and the handle is made from Zebrano.
Let me know what you think!

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.

I know the problem. I tried to turn a huge vase from a cherry log... it ended up as a honey dipper. My wife asked if I could turn a large platter for Christmas treats... another honey dipper. Last month I started work on an oak desk... fortunately, it was for a friend who loves honey so it wasn't a total failure. By the way, does anyone need a honey dipper? Give me a call. I've got a few.

As someone interested in starting Turning I was wondering why you would turn a toothpick from a log... seemed like a massive waste when I first watched this however it makes sense if the wood is cracked etc!!

@wyattcorreia2803 Жыл бұрын

That is true but the tool rest ur hands should be on the opposite side of your work and chances are nothing will happen but it is still a good rule of thumb

@user-bt6jy6qu7y Жыл бұрын

It's not about getting caught by the stock it's about getting caught in ribbons of metal shavings. You'll know that not all metals come off as pieces on a lathe, some metals create ribbons that are sharp as razors just as in drilling metals. Wood will always come off the same in a lathe no matter weather hard or soft wood. But you're right as far as working with metals in lathing, drilling etc, you don't wear gloves, long sleeve shirts unbuttoned or jewelery cause you can lose fingers or even limbs that way.

I can see what you mean by unexpected. You did well to salvage anything! At one point I thought you were going to have to turn away the whole log. But in the end you made excellent use of a piece of a species which is normally chipped or burnt. Credit to you as always for finding beauty and purpose in your chosen material. I love this channel.

I've recently used my spruce christmas trees from the last two years to make a set of tree decorations, didn't find them too fuzzy to work with. Perhaps using a sharp bowl gouge or skew would have helped. Carbide tips will always cause a lot of fuzz on softwoods. Also, not sure I'd use any of the christmas tree species for honey... their sap can stay sappy for years. :| Lovely looking pot though!
