Woodturning: Yellow Birch Pedestal Box

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! This is my 7th filmed project, and it had a rocky start! I think I need a bigger lathe! This piece of yellow birch was harvested within the past year or two, so it was not fully dry. However, it was very spalted and soft, which seemed to indicate it was close to becoming punky. In hindsight, I probably should have restricted myself to an oil finish in order to let the wood dry while the oil hardens instead of trying to seal the wood immediately with wax. Anyway, let me know what you think!
This piece will not be for sale. It will be a gift to my friend who gave me the yellow birch for free.

The yellow birch grain looks like a tiger’s coat. I just love it. These videos are my new obsession. I cannot get enough.

It’s fantastic to see that the wood is Spalted. It makes the wood so much more interesting than I think..

I do enjoy your videos very much. The sound of your lathe and cutting tools is all I need. Very therapeutic and calming. I hate listening to babbling videos where the person runs on endlessly trying to convince you about how smart they are and no real content is offered up. And a beautiful piece of art at at the end of everyone of your videos, well done all around. ✌️😎

Regarding the coordinating of audio to video content, the VISUAL PRESENTATION is EXTRAORDINARILY COMPLIMENTARY to the AUDIBLE ADDITION. FURTHERMORE, I find your VIDEOS, devoid of MUSICAL AUDIO, COMMENSURATE to the ENTERTAINMENT VALUE as, PERSPECTIVELY, any DEAF VIEWERS should EXPERIENCE DELIGHT in WITNESSING the EMBELLISHMENTS of your CREATIVITY pursuant to COMPLETION of your MASTERFUL ARTISTRY. That aside, I THANK YOU for providing such QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT and KNOWLEDGEABLE INSIGHT for MYSELF and the MASSES OF KZfaq EXPLORERS who DISCOVER your DEMONSTRATIONS of thoroughly BLESSED TALENT with MATERIAL EXPERTISE.

BEAUTIMOUS !!!! Thanks for posting !!! I LOVE that wood !!! In my younger years, I liked to come home from school and make a lot of chips. I made candle holders, vases, stands to hold pecans and the various tools to bust them and pick them out. I was always coming up with something pretty for Mom or Dad or my Grand Parents. When you started on the "spire lid-handle for the lid, I thought you were making Chess-pieces. Fooled me! VERRRRY NICE piece!!! Bill, from Tn. 🇺🇸

But tonight I was looking for something different to watch. Scrolling through my channels, I found you again! I think this may have been one of the first of your videos I watched, back at the dawn of time! It even still had my thumb up from all that time ago lol just wanted to say hi and that your work is still just as beautiful. Best to you and yours from New Orleans

I'll be honest with you, I would never have applied all those finishes if I thought to wood was cooperating. But I think the wood was too wet when I turned it. So, when I had to leave it sit overnight, I made sure there was a thick layer of wax over it. I would probably do it differently now. Cheers!

I like woodworking in general but my favourite is wood turning. In Cyprus we have trees with fantastic grain and shapes and when I start to work on a piece I never know what will be the final product. This is so especially with olive wood where there is hidden beauty. When I watch work like yours I only wonder what would be the result if my wood was in your hands. Magnificent work.
